Futurama on the Radio

Or well just Billy West, who is half of Futurama on his own really.

West appeared on Fresh Air this week and talked a little about how he created many of his Futurama voices. It's interesting to hear him talk about how he creates his voices, and how he thinks about voice acting. His explanations for Zoidburg and Zap are pretty funny, and I'm pretty impressed to learn that he does all the voices live when they record, so really sometimes he just sits with a mic in front of him and talk with himself.

Obligitory Futurama Post

Yes, I know that Comedy Central released a teaser trailer for season six of Futurama. Since I've already mostly seen it, it's not that big of a deal. Also, it's only 30 seconds long and not terribly funny. It's so uneventful I'm not even going to embed it.

This I will though:

There's also a part two.

Fine video, but there's a missed opportunity at the end. As he lay dying, Cain should have said Giant Bender's dying words: "I came here with a simple dream. A dream of killing all humans. And this is how it must end? Who's the real 7 billion ton robot monster here? Not I, not I.."
