Critical Role's Travis Willingham & Laura Bailey Get Stuck in Character (Emerald City Comic Con)

[@silverackerman394]

"There's always this crazy Russian voi- that's Scottish *confused puppy look*" Travis Willingham everybody! With the most relatable 5-10 seconds ever

[@deathbykonami5487]

It's funny cause Travis has voiced both Russian and Scottish characters.

[@itdano]

I love how Travis geeks out over someone dressed up as Fjord and starts waving to the guy like they're best friends. Which, I guess they kind of are now...

[@DoctorMcHerp]

Well he *is* the kind of guy to pull over and charge at someone wearing CR apparel like they were the celebrity and he was the fan.

[@deffdefying4803]

I don't know why but hearing Travis' actual voice feels strange after hearing Grog's and Fjord's voices for so long

[@SerunaXI]

Can you imagine Grog trying to impersonate Fjord's voice?

[@RealityRogue]

Really? There’s banter before every episode starts, talks machina, advertisements, ect. And he talks normally in all of those

[@insanenessity]

@@SerunaXI that was kind of how the first episode or two of the new season felt haha, he would kind of switch back and forth trying to get used to fjords voice.

[@Harrowed2TheMind]

Wait, if she stays in character as Jester and does 'weird voices' without noticing... does that mean that she also rearranged the aisles while the employees weren't looking? XD

[@hinro]

I kinda just assume she would do that regardless of anything.

I am hopefully meeting her in 2 months. I am going to humbly ask that she give my dice bag the blessing of the Traveler-in character, before my new game starts.

[@yourforbiddenfruit]

It’s funny that Laura says she used jesters voice at home before campaign 2. I’ve been watching campaign 1 and I noticed she’d sometimes sound like jester when she was goofing around ooc.

[@DarkAlice]

She did also run Jester in a oneshot earlier while Campaign 1 was still going.

At age 3, the baby can do 16 accents just from listening to their parents, but never American, cuz according to Mama and Pap Bear, it's boring.

[@oscarpines7927]

The pure joy on Travis when fjord was spotted was absolutely beautiful.

[@beefrd]

the voices thing is so CUTE, and it reminds me of a certain show I was in recently- backstage, all of us would talk to the crew exclusively in our character voices as to not break character (we were onstage the whole time but occasionally had to lean into the wings to grab props) and for the first week or so, they just looked CONFUSED, ALL THE TIME, it was the funniest thing ever I swear

[@CurtisFerrington]

Meant to do a Russian accent and did a Scottish acent....Travis has watched Hunt for Red October too many times. :-D

[@auspicious6554]

Curtis Ferrington Be careful Vasily, some things on the ship don't take kindly to bullets.

[@ariaflame-au]

Probably because they keep using Scottish actors to play russians.

[@AweHitero]

it was pretty close tho =)

[@SirJonathonDanielGregorySrVthe]

It's not even about that I don't think. I don't do it professionally but I also do accents and voices every now and again when I'm hanging out with my mates and I'll go for a real gruff Russian accent and slip into a Scottish accidentally as well. I think they're similar, and the Scottish accent is probably more comfortable.

[@CodeeXD]

I wanna like this comment but I'ma let it stay at 420

[@jackwolf8245]

The thing is, Laura felt like an idiot, but I guarantee you that was the BEST part of that sales person's year.

[@Mediados]

It may be weird, but retail is probably such a numbing job that it's like a breeze of fresh air.

[@teejaykaye]

The character they're referring to is Pumat Sol, isn't it.

Teejay Kaye no it is the other quadrupled polite raspy canadian salesperson

[@lauravturner]

I do ridiculous voices often in public because I am more confident in being not myself, so the more of an act I am putting on, the less I panic. That said, I would love to get to the point that I wouldn’t notice I am doing a voice because I’d be confident without even thinking about it.

I was listening to a podcast with David Hayter the other day, and he said he makes an effort to NOT use the Snake voice in public unless someone recognises him. Which is normally when he's buying comics or games anyway. In his words "they'd arrest me if I did that voice everywhere". He also said he nearly got kicked out of Disney World for doing impressions of Jack Sparrow, when he went in cosplay for his daughter's birthday.
