Finding Your Voice With ODPH’s Ken M: From Day-One Nerves to 800+ Episodes
<p>Ken M from the Ocho Duro Parlay Hour joins Frank to unpack how ODPH started, why the long title became “the O.D.P.H.,” and what it takes to keep a show thriving for years. We get into releasing that first episode on Memorial Day 2017, the shift toward video, editing choices that keep conversations human, and how community support has changed since the early “podcast Twitter” days. Ken also shares a favorite New York Comic Con memory and talks about leadership at Nerd Initiative and what’s next. </p><p>00:00 — Meet Ken M and the ODPH origin story, including an early detour and why the show finally launched in 2017. <br>01:25 — Naming the show: craps “hard 8,” parlay, and why they shortened it for listeners. <br>04:41 — Rehearsals, buying gear, and the decision to ship on Memorial Day 2017. <br>05:57 — “Day and night”: how episode one compares to today and crossing 800 episodes. <br>08:03 — Still nervous sometimes, and why that spark matters; an NYCC moment with Scott Snyder. <br>13:19 — Money talk and podfade: expectations, Patreon, and why consistency wins. <br>17:19 — From retweet rings to real support: how the community evolved. <br>22:38 — Video vs audio: what changed after 2020 and why audio isn’t going anywhere. <br>31:16 — Editor in Chief in 2023, creative freedom, and moving on in good standing. <br>42:11 — Editing philosophy: keep the “ums,” fix the facts, sound natural. </p><ul><li><p>Ship it before it’s “perfect.” Momentum beats perfection, especially early on. </p></li><li><p>It’s normal to feel some nerves. That’s part of what keeps interviews exciting and honest. </p></li><li><p>Audio isn’t dying. Video grew fast after 2020, but audio remains a core, durable medium. </p></li><li><p>Edit for clarity, not polish. Keep natural cadence and correct only what truly needs it. </p></li><li><p>Community has matured. Shoutouts with substance beat retweet loops every time. </p></li><li><p>Consistency over vanity metrics. Focus on craft and cadence to outlast podfade. </p></li></ul><ul><li><p>“The audio will be here till the end of time.” </p></li><li><p>“If we make it sound too perfect, people are going to think it’s not.” </p></li><li><p>“If your goal is all monetary, you’re in the wrong business.” </p></li><li><p>“He has a fantastic podcast. You need to check it out.” (Scott Snyder at NYCC) </p></li></ul><p>Enjoying the episode?

Eliah Mountjoy on Finding Bucky’s Voice, Anime Dubbing, and the Future of AI in Games
<p>Voice actor Eliah Mountjoy joins us to talk about bringing the Winter Soldier to life in Marvel Rivals, why Bucky’s duality resonates with him, and what it actually takes to nail lines when you’re alone in the booth. We get into the craft behind anime dubbing, how directors guide performance in fast-moving game sessions, and his thoughtful stance on where AI helps and where it harms. He closes with grounded advice for anyone thinking about voice acting as a career. </p><p>00:00 Intro and why Eliah’s Bucky leaves a mark on players <br>00:55 How he landed Winter Soldier and learned it was Bucky mid-callback <br>02:22 Building a take that isn’t a Sebastian Stan voice match <br>05:20 Playing a century-old, battle-worn hero with real baggage <br>06:05 Community with the Rivals cast and that “donut video” origin story<br>10:21 Recording solo vs ensemble and learning to “act to no one”<br>12:20 Why fast sessions still feel grounded, plus getting scripts early<br>14:15 Calibrating banter vs in-battle reads with the director’s context<br>15:14 What Eliah brings to Bucky from real-world tactical training <br>19:15 Quiet confidence vs “flip mode” for big moments and ults <br>20:25 The Bucky stories he still wants to tell with Natasha <br>21:17 Dubbing anime: timing, intent over mimicry, and “spoken-word karaoke” <br>29:59 AI in voice work: the line in the sand, compensation, and the uncanny valley <br>36:30 Practical steps for aspiring voice actors: classes, improv, and knowing your “why” </p><ul><li><p>Winter Soldier wasn’t a voice-match job. Eliah built a take rooted in Bucky’s history and weight rather than mimicking the MCU. </p></li><li><p>Real tactical training informed his performance: calm, capable, and dangerous until it’s time to flip the switch. </p></li><li><p>Directors matter. Fast, line-heavy sessions still feel truthful when context is clear and actors get material in advance.</p></li><li><p>In anime dubbing, timing rules everything. He aims to match intent, not the original voice. </p></li><li><p>On AI, the bright line is human performance. Use tools without replacing actors, and protect credit and compensation to avoid hollow, uncanny results. </p></li><li><p>If you want to voice act, start acting. Take classes, do improv, study the craft, and be honest about your motivation. </p></li></ul><ul><li><p>“Voice acting is acting… you have to find a way to do that with your voice.” </p></li><li><p>“He’s the killer of killers… and very relaxed until it’s time to ramp it up.” </p></li><li><p>“We have to find a way to protect human performance and the people who bring it to life.” </p></li><li><p>“I try to match the intent, not the exact voice.” </p></li></ul><p>If you enjoyed this conversation, follow the show, rate us, and leave a short review.

Jordan Reynolds On Adam Warlock, VO Craft, And AI
<p>Voice actor Jordan Reynolds joins Geek Freaks to unpack his role as Adam Warlock in Marvel Rivals, how he built the character’s calm, reliable presence, and what it takes to deliver clean, useful callouts that help players in the moment. He talks audition mindset, working with voice director Michael Sirieix at Brightskull Studios, and shaping performance to match gameplay. We also get fun stories from his early days on the Warner Bros. lot, meeting Crispin Freeman, and his World of Warcraft gigs, from Highmountain Tauren to the mead-obsessed Dr. Brandt.</p><p>00:00 Welcome and setup.
