- Oh, hello.
I was so into my drawing I almost didn't see you there.
What do you think?
I know, I know, it needs some work.
But it's not done yet.
Luckily for me, I'm at DreamWorks Animation,
and I'm getting help with making my own cartoon
from the awesome people that make my favorite show,
"Spirit Riding Free."
(upbeat pop music)
And today, I'm going to see the actual cast of "Spirit"
record the voices for the show.
Let's go!
(clears throat)
- You ready for your voice session?
- I believe so.
- Nice.
- Amber and Bailey are waiting for you in the studio.
- Thanks!
(horse neighs)
Hi, I'm Izzy.
- Hi, I'm Bailey.
- Nice to meet you.
- Hi, I'm Amber.
- Nice to meet you.
So what's your favorite part about playing Lucky?
- Every time I read a script, I'm so inspired by Lucky
because she's so fearless and she just reminds me
of my young self, and I love that about her.
- What's your favorite part about playing Abigail?
- That you never know where she's gonna go.
You never know what she's gonna do.
It's always a constant surprise.
One second she could be breaking out into song,
and then she's trying to talk to a dolphin
in dolphin language.
- Never drop a snail.
- So I'm actually voicing my own cartoon,
and I was wondering if you guys have any tips for me?
- I mean, for me, I always jam out to my favorite songs
on the way to the record-- - Karaoke sesh.
- Definitely warms up your voice.
Don't be scared.
- Don't limit yourself.
- Yeah, don't limit yourself.
- 'Cause you have to express everything that you would be
normally expressing with your body, with only your voice.
- Don't be afraid to look crazy.
- Yeah, use your body.
Try not to make noise, but use your body.
'Cause it'll definitely help with the projection
and all that.
- Bring more personality and life to you.
- Yeah.
- Cool, well I'm going to watch you guys record a scene,
so see you in a bit.
- Yeah. - Cool.
- We'll see you in a little bit, yeah.
- Hi, I'm Izzy.
- Hi Izzy.
I'm Katie, and I'm the voice director
on "Spirit."
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you, too, sweetheart.
- So we're going to start with a scene
in episode 302, and the girls are gonna do it together.
Okay, we are going to start with Lucky, Q1.
- Hi, I'm Lucky, and this is Spirit.
- Fantastic, let's do one more, a little more of a smile
in there.
- I'm Lucky, and this is Spirit.
(horse neighs)
- That was gorgeous.
I love it, moving on to Q2.
"He's a beauty.
Where's his saddle?"
- Oh, (laughs) he doesn't have one.
He's a wild horse.
- Great.
Pick it up from the top of 31 one more time.
- Oh, he doesn't have one.
He's a wild horse.
- And I'm--
Who am I again?
- [Lucky/Amber] Uh, this is Abigail.
And Boomerang.
Come on, pals, let's unpack.
- "You call yourself the pals?
What a coincidence, we also have a nickname
made of our initials."
- Let me guess, you call yourself the Dubs
because those are short for your initials,
and Dubs is also short for W, which is the first letter
in the word 'wonderful.'
- Honestly guys, that was a fantastic pass.
I loved it.
- [Abigail] That's what I always say.
But not in those exact words.
- Okay, Izzy.
How do you feel?
You think you're ready to record for your cartoon?
- I think I am.
- Go for it.
- Doo doo doo, just a normal day in the life of Izzy.
- Okay, Izzy.
Try it one more time, this time I want you to be
a little sillier, okay?
- Doo doo doo, just a normal day in the life of Izzy.
What the?
Those don't look like my hands.
(Katie laughs)
Mom, Dad!
I woke up and I'm a horse!
(snorts)
- I believe she's a horse.
- I believe it, too.
- Horse vibes, yes.
- I have horse power!
- Sounds good.
- Yeah.
- I liked that. - Yeah, I loved that.
- [Amber] Hey!
- Hey, girl.
Izzy, you did so amazing! - So good!
- Thanks so much.
Did I do a good horse?
- Yes, yeah.
- Super believable. - 100%.
- Okay, because I really felt like a horse in that moment.
- Yeah, I could tell.
- We felt like you were a horse.
- I felt the horse within.
- Loved it.
(cheers)
- Wow, voice recording is so much fun.
Make sure to check it next week when I debut
my very own cartoon.
Hey, just be a cartoon and animate yourself.
- Okay!
- Ah!
