I'd never heard of Kinnikuman before I walked in for the audition. They already knew me from bit parts in Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh. Now, of course, I can't get enough Meat collectibles!1. Were you a fan of the comic prior to this job or did you just stumble across a good job that you can voice? (What I mean is did you collect muscles and stuff when you were younger).
I'd ask for, and I hope get, permission to speak freely.2. If you can not promote or talk much about the company and cartoon, are you allowed to go to Muscle con 2003 and tell people you are Meat without breaking somekind of contract?
Nothing. Sorry. That's a contractual thing. :-X Besides, while I have an entire script before me, I only see video for my lines, and those immediately surrounding them. I see the produced episodes the same time you do.3. What can you tell us about upcoming events? Anybody die? Is that one guy who lost to Ramen man ever coming back? Where is Jade? Is there going to be any kind of Zebra man? (he is my fav).
Nope. Also a contractual thing. but I can say that it's more than minimum wage. Quite a bit more.4. Can you give us a hint on how much an Ultimate muscle voice over would get paid? Just curious.
Hope that helps a little, anyway.
