The Disturbing History of Voice Over Part 1 🎙 the FIRST Voice Actor, Betty Boop Scandal, Mass Panic

[@brizzyvoices]

I HAVE NO IDEA WHY I SAID “GEORGE ORWELL” INSTEAD OF ORSON WELLES. JESUSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. 😩 I KNOW IT WAS ORSON WELLES WHY DID I DO THAT

[@Gdub6798]

I didn't even catch it till I read this.

[@rayitodeluz855]

Hey, don't worry!, I understand you by the context, it's ok, in a whole, the video is great per se ;)

[@stewartsmalls2024]

If only you knew of an art where they can record a voice over an image, correcting the error in post.

[@mr7463]

Don't worry brizzy, you did try your best.

[@brizzyvoices]

If only I hadn’t already uploaded the video. 🥲

[@jeremycoleman2736]

Some of the greatest voice overs of all time of just legendary. But I am so thrilled that Brizzy is taking me on a journey through history on the very first voice over in the 1850s.

[@belatedmedia]

This is some top tier content right here, Anna! I hope everyone appreciates how much research went into a piece like this!

[@champ147963]

Mad respect, Don't expect you to make this kind of content. Your storytelling is amazing.

[@brizzyvoices]

wow ty 😭😭

[@ThePeacefulArtist]

Agreed and can't wait for more history lessons by Professor Brizzy.

[@inkfyre13]

I love that this was both so educational and so funny. This was such a great start to a deep dive on a really understated history. Also, the Gretchen Wieners reference. I lost my mind on that part lmao

[@brizzyvoices]

Ahhhh thank you so much!! I do *not* pride myself on joke writing so that means a lot. 💙

[@Z4n3yB01]

this. is. AMAZING! the queen herself is back again, and this time, she has blessed us with the first of a full three part series about the timeline of voice over, with plenty of comedy, information, and Remus! in all seriousness, though, this really was very informative, and thank you so much for pointing out that Walt Disney was NOT the first person to do voice acting in cartoons. keep it up, Brizzy! can't wait for parts two and three!

[@finnover9781]

Certainly a welcome interval between musical numbers

[@516tigergirl]

This was amazing. I learn so much about voice acting. I didn’t want it to end. I didn’t know that voice acting started early as the 1850s, yet there still no voice acting catergory at the Oscars. Thank you and I’m looking forward to the next part.

[@micheleferri2119]

I know you wanted to do this for a while.. And I know you've been working hard, spending a lot of time and effort on this.. and the results are phenomenal! I learned a whole lot of stuff and enjoyed every minute of it. Can't wait for the next part! You're amazing Brizzy! 😍

[@brizzyvoices]

AHHH TY MICHE

[@robertrogers074]

@@brizzyvoices somebody got a BIG ANNIVERSARY coming up.

[@sketchnotes2246]

This was far from boring, Brizzy! This was really entertaining and informative!

[@MrWhiteSuit17]

Great job Brizzy! It’s so rare to find a collective history of voice over and you did a wonderful job compiling it and making it a fascinating story. Excellent work!

[@brizzyvoices]

TY FRIEND

[@tiannahmakia]

I just finished watching and I learned SO much!! I highly look forward to part 2 !!! Also the early recordings sound like a ghost hunting episode, but it was still incredible to hear how people tried to create machines for recordings!! Now I want to research the WGY radio broadcasts, that sounds awesome!

[@brizzyvoices]

😭😭 thank you tiannah!!

[@AlexG-rc3oq]

You could read an inaugural speech and inspire me to listen to the end, your flair and dramatizations combined with personal panache have me completely hooked. I completely appreciate this masterpiece and look forward to more.

[@WhitneyAvalon]

Great, informative video!

[@theirishninjasanimations]

3:27 I just want somebody who looks at me the way Remus looks at you. Such a good boy.

[@Polycomical]

It's not boring, this is great stuff and really interesting. The other videos are fun but I love behind the scenes/making of stuff, and yours is great.

[@gabesantillana2520]

This sounds interesting, I didn’t know that voiceovers started in the 1800s until now, your research is amazing Brizzy! I love you Brizzy!❤️

[@LindzVachon]

I absolutely loved learning about this stuff!!! I personally think you could do more with a format like this for future videos if there’s other educational things you wanna talk about. Like the history of audio equipment, or even just other educational types of things to teach different acting or audio editing techniques! Plus you still incorporated several voices you can do into it which is awesome!! As an aspiring voice actor myself, I love learning all I can about the industry and this was SUPER cool to see!!

[@benwasserman8223]

As a fellow NYU graduate, I’d love to see Brizzy teach a course on voice acting/history at Tisch. That would be awesome.

[@ThePeacefulArtist]

This was far from boring and really can't wait to see, learn more. I love history of all kinds and this was just as so much fun. Professor Brizzy Voices now. Would love to see more videos like this not just the videos you do with voice work of course are just as fun and educational in own ways.

[@eventua8474]

This was a super interesting and funny documentary! Really excited to see parts 2 and 3!!! 😄

[@jediknight2089]

The Secret History of the Voice Over is entertaining, well edited, plus your sharp, witty narration makes this vastly informative video even more brilliant. I learned that the origins of voice over is complicated. I’m glad you did something different and you will never be boring Anna. This incredibly ambitious video is extraordinary, cant wait for part 2 and 3!

[@CalderTheArtist]

hearing a disney character reference the mammy caricature was WILD, not unexpected but still WILD thanks for bringing attention to the yucky stuff, pal, this video was sick and really well made, your effort is appreciated and valued

[@jessisstories9375]

Loving the 1800’s sound waves 🌊 you really went all out for this! Thanks so much for doing this excited for part 2 and 3.

[@WhedonianPotterhead]

Love this, absolutely fascinating to hear the history behind voice recordings, can't wait for the next part!

[@jamesphelan7556]

This definitely wasn't boring. You make it fun with your energy and personality. Keep up the fantastic work. Can't wait for the next part.

[@rilisr9818]

You are very far from boring Brizzy. Much unconditional love to you infinitely 😍😌🙏💫

[@ryodark]

This is absolutely FASCINATING and I'm so glad you're doing a full history series on this topic. Looking forward to parts 2 and 3!

[@remyw1409]

Oh. My. Gosh... This is brilliant! Holy shit! Go Brizzy!!! This is so interesting and well researched and put together, it's amazing! I genuinely cannot WAIT until parts 2 and 3 are released, I just want to know moreeeeee!!!

[@TheEternalGoth]

I've been on a big kick of more long-form informational kind of stuff lately so this video was not boring at all. Loved it!

This is an excellent start to this documentary, I cannot wait for the rest of this! We'll done!

[@jeffharrisTXB]

Oh, this was a hoot! And it was eye-opening to boot! Plus, you mentioned my part of the world (Norfolk, VA), which is always cool. I've enjoyed this, both as a historian and a cartoon fan. Keep it going.

[@pkourakos]

This was great! I'm a HUGE fan of VO and I love the history behind everything. Very well done!

[@Evalkitti2]

DEFINITELY not boring! I'm so jazzed to see you making video essays. Hype for the next two parts!

[@Steveofthejungle8]

Oh the vaguely musical fart that is the first recorded human voice 😂 Jokes aside, this is super interesting and I can’t wait for part 2 and 3! Thanks Brizzy!

[@BitspitterVids]

This was super cool. Can’t wait until the next one!

[@sallymay1685]

Ahhhh! Brizzy this is incredible! And you managed to hold my attention throughout The whole video

[@Gdub6798]

I've been excited for this since you first talked about doing it. You absolutely did not disappoint and this was anything but boring. You've put a lot of work into this and I'm so glad you didn't try to make it all fit into one video. I'm looking forward to the rest of it. Great job Brizzy.

[@galacticglamourgirl]

Very interesting and informative video! And props for not glossing over what you mentioned at about 15:01 , because that stuff really shouldn't be ignored.

[@gothcosplays]

“I have a fear of being boring…” I’ve been watching your videos/been a fan for the past 10 years, and NONE of your videos have ever been boring, and they still aren’t/still enjoy whatever you put out 😄

[@QuincyKane]

This was interesting and well made; I know a lot of work went into this! I look forward to seeing the rest!

[@brizzyvoices]

Thank you so much!

[@mollyb28]

LOVE THIS! You're not boring at all. You are a great story teller and this history is so interesting!

[@aaronstuart8490]

This was fantastic! I don't know how much depth you go into for parts 2 and 3, but I'd be down for specific ones like: History of Disney voice acting, video games, anime, etc. This gave me Defunctland vibes which is one of my favorite KZbin channels!

[@Pixis1]

Not boring! I found this very interesting. I loved hearing those early recordings and learning about the controversies surrounding the Betty Boop actresses. Will definitely check out the next part.

[@UntitledWorkInProgress]

That 24mins flew by, I was super engaged ~ Can’t wait for part 2!

[@statistics_em]

For real this was so so interesting, and not boring at all! I've been following you since the OG Pokémon video and I really appreciate all the effort you clearly put into this one. Can't wait for part 2!!

[@kailaweinzinger3363]

I was so excited to find that you were creating a documentary-like series about the history of voice acting! As a graphic design student who's obsessed with the history of animation, it was quite a fun experience, and I actually wished the video was longer, can't wait for the next episode!

[@jameswilliams3038]

I love documentary style videos, so this is great. throwing the voices and your personality in the mix makes it that much better.

[@devong8890]

I love videos like these that teach me history about the arts, Keep Going!

[@Andersand]

Loved the research that went into this! I went to school for audio production and I didn't even know some of the early history of recording stuff you went into, super interesting!!

[@nicolecentofanti9204]

This was so good! Anyone getting into VO should know the history for sure! Very educational. Looking forward to part 2! Thanks Brizzy!

[@rayitodeluz855]

Wow!!, if I've already admire your work, I admire it more. This section is great, very interesting, and also I got a question: could it be that Betty Boop inspire the style of voice acting and impressions of anime girls?

[@nonyabeesnes1300]

Cant wait for Part 2 Brizz. Absolutely love that you add your own flair to something so historically informed.

[@SweenyTodd98]

12:22 Love the Mean Girls reference! That's actually my favorite scene from that movie.

For something "boring and educational" you made all of it very entertaining and easy to watch and understand. Can't wait to watch the other ones!

[@stewartsmalls2024]

I have been watching your videos for years and your attempt at long form does not disappoint! Informative, fun, creative. I loved your Betty Boop impression for the reading of her article. I look forward to the rest!

Ahhh thank you!!

This is so amazing! Your passion for voice over makes you the perfect person to be telling this history. This is all so interesting and hearing you tell it is wonderful! Love this!

Amazing Brizzy, this was super awesome. Great. Just the history in Voice overs is AMAZING. So long ago and where we are now explained by you is great!!! Listening to those old recordings is really neat!!

[@jamesrobson8308]

This is amazing, normally I wouldn't be bothered with a long history lesson but voice acting is something I really like and your personality just makes history sound awesome

[@boilerfan18]

Great job Brizzy. It’s really cool learning about the history behind things, I’m excited for the next part.

[@inakamoto]

Never be ashamed of educating. I always appreciate learning new things.

[@Yanix71]

Great research job! I am impressed with the content of your video essay. For so many years, the study of animation history has been centered on the directors. Most of the time, only a few names like Mel Blanc were given credit when it came to voice acting. Thank you for putting the spotlight on great artists whose contribution to the artform are too often overlooked. Oh! And you're never boring. 😊

Brizzy, this was freaking FANTASTIC and I really hope there are some educators out in the world who use this video (and the other 2 videos) as a resource in their materials. Seriously WELL DONE!!!

That was a very cool and interesting. Can't wait for the rest of the parts

[@zackatk77]

This is far from boring Anna. You've put so much work into this video and it shows that you're passionate about people knowing where voiceover truly originated. Brilliant work with part one! I'm really looking forward to part two. Also, A+ on all that French at the beginning. 👌🏻

[@mrvoice9746]

[@joshjamesfilms]

This is an unexpected format but absolutely loved it! Brilliantly structured, enthusiastic approach to the history at hand and thoroughly engaging. As an aside have you heard of talking tapes? They resemble a long piece of plastic with ridges along it, which when held with one hand and brushed down with then nail of a finger on the other hand will send vibrations down the plastic to whatever vessel it is attached to, (a balloon, a cup, the users mouth also works!), and will result in a legible sound.

[@brizzyvoices]

NO BUT OMG I MUST FIND THEM

[@joshjamesfilms]

@@brizzyvoices There’s a good video by an octogenarian toy collector here on KZbin. Channel is ‘GrandIllusions’ & video is ‘Talking Tapes’, he doesn’t go into the history of them but does demonstrate a variety of them :)

This is your first video I actually watched in... maybe years. I absolutely love it, thank you!

[@bethanywhidden5073]

THIS WAS SPECTACULAR!! Learning all of this is fascinating and educational, can't wait for part 2! Those women who voiced all those dolls must have been exhausted, imagine voicing every single one individually.. no wonder the recording you showed was basically shouting lol. It's always mind-blowing to try to understand how voices can be recorded and played back to be heard... Like... How?! Anyways, thanks for making this video 🤍🤍🤍

[@ed_vilon668]

You know, I'm not the most attentive person when watching videos. I'll often start a 30 minute highlight video of a pro CSGO game, something I know I enjoy watching and following, and stop it periodically numerous time. Turning that 30 minute video into an 8 hour marathon of sorts as I flick back and forth from it to other videos or activities throughout the day. I watched this video straight through, not even realizing I was intently listening for the entire duration. It didn't even feel like a 20+ minute video. This was well crafted and I enjoyed that you looked like you were enjoying yourself during the entire process and not being too serious about it, such as laughing at some of the more ridiculous names of the eras. Looking forward to the next 2 installments. :)

[@brizzyvoices]

ahhh thank you so much!!

[@isanomic]

I loved it... This video said a lot of stuff I didn't knew. It's just BRILLIANT! I really don't think it's boring. To me it's perfect. Keep doing it

I can’t wait for the other parts. This felt like my History of Photography class in my short time at college. So this is very entertaining and educational. These 24 minutes went by fast.
