Between July and August of 2015, I did the first developments of the character Spot for the new Pixar film. First session was in New York and the second session was recorded in Hollywood. Composers Jeff and Mychael Danna presented a challenge in finding the right musical voice for this character, a young wild cave boy. The film is still in development and I was very pleased the director Peter Sohn enjoyed what we were able to create. It will be interesting to see how the character eventually ends up when it premiers in theaters before Christmas. Stay tuned. 

SINBAD & I 1/26/15

As I've been honing my skills on the standup front, you try to learn from the best. One of them is David Atkins (Sinbad). Being in Los Angeles is great for all the people willing to help you out. It really is a nice town. 

What I learned from David is that you don't have to tell jokes to be funny and if you are looking for a source of humor start with the world you live in and find the humor in the everyday. So when shaping Bob Stokes I keep David's Sinbad in mind. Also if you watch his act he looks edgy but he's never dirty. Dirty is your last resort when your material doesn't work.

When you talk to someone like David you can hear the voice of the preacher. Whether he got that from his father (who was one), you can see how casual, yet powerful, David comes off very natural. And fast. He can take a question and throw it back so funny, so quick. 

One of the great artists in the business and one of the nicest too.
