Thank you for replicating my exact reaction to David Tennant's reveal

[@EvilSnowVO]

I don't think anyone was expecting such a titanic name to be featured. Dominic Monaghan was my next one, and Grey is VA royalty...

[@greygale3760]

Same! I literally had to pause the video so that I could just scream for a full minute, same when Stephanie Beatriz was revealed I literally couldn’t talk for like an hour afterwards because I just shredded my throat lol😂😅

[@dealinginfiction]

So I look alot like David Tennant. Everyone I know have said and I have cosplayed a cup of times. Went to a con and I was the last photo op with him. He looked at me and said in that beautiful Scottish accent "Look at you". Under breath I said "Thanks dad". I was full on Barney Stinson when he met Bob Barker in How I Met Your Mother. So when I saw this video and saw him being casted I yelled out. "THATS MY DAD". hahahaha. Truly. David Tennant is an amazing guy and beautiful person.

[@wileymeep]

same same

[@jordanpeterson5140]

My reaction was far more profane.

[@sunshowermess143]

Travis: We had to turn to a big voice for his character! You: Oh yeah? Who'd you get? David Tennant: Hello ! You: *Loses it* That reaction was so perfectly timed! I CAN'T! XD

[@tomkvideo]

Sam Riegel must've brought a huge breakfast spread to a Ducktales VO session and pulled David Tennant aside like "listen, Doctor."

[@rosenrot234]

Kinda hard to say no when someone asks "Hey do you wanna voice a dragon?"

[@ShadowyFox_86]

Apparently it was Sam telling the story of how the show went from a stream to a fan funded animated show that won Tennant (and many more folks) over. So many actors resonate with that, and Tennant did let Sam know after how the fanbase has been so welcoming to him.

[@ForeverDegenerate]

@@ShadowyFox_86 Hollywood: Our people contacted his people and set up a lunch with him and we gave him the pitch... Sam Riegel: I just texted him and he said yes.

[@brandontaylor3252]

You won't see Darin DePaul till much later in campaign one but he's easily my favorite guest that's been on the show.

[@isaiahwelch8066]

Add in the fact that Darin played his CR character 37 years before CR, with Matt's mom, makes his appearance all the sweeter. I am so happy he has been added as a voice-over actor to this, The Legend of Vox Machina!

[@Chakrazx95]

​@@isaiahwelch8066 I don't want to spoil anything, but the conclussion of his character is one of the best ways to end his story arc with such love and respect, I loved that Matt gave him the recognition that he deserved

[@isaiahwelch8066]

@@Chakrazx95 : No spoiling anything for me, I've seen C1, lol. Sprigg was an amazing character, and I loved how accepting Darin was, as a player. He exemplifies how every player should treat the game, if you have a good table and a good DM like Matt.

[@davidbergfors6820]

@@isaiahwelch8066 not only played with Matt's Mother, but played that exact same character!

[@ShadowyFox_86]

​@@isaiahwelch8066 When the cast was announced, he was the one I was least surprised to see.

[@Vanoss1999]

Seeing you react to David and calling him “Number Ten” is perfect for all DW fans

[@wolfinstedd]

Seeing Sam was voice dictator on New Duck tales , I think David had trust in Sam.

[@MrsMedicate]

Your auto correct issue made it funny

[@seansilence2697]

Since Krieg is in the first season, I think I have an idea of what season 2 will cover. People who watched campaign 1 will know what I mean ;)

[@ariaflame-au]

Kreig is in the two-part pre-stream, then the rest of season one is Briarwood

[@scottmcintyre2809]

I wonder if they'll actually write Tennant out after 2 episodes, or if they'll tweak the pre-stream stuff so that he was locked in a closet or something while they dealt with "General Krieg" and the Character will stick around for more of the series.

[@thaesimir]

Your excitement and joy perfectly mirrored how I felt watching this trailer. So happy to share this with more fans!

[@davidens8204]

I have been playing D&d since 1978 and loving every decade but seeing the emotional fervor with which young people like yourself have for this beloved institution I get to live vicariously through you every time I see the glee on the face when the theatre of the mind becomes a reality for that new person ...love it

[@paulgerg6879]

Agree entirely, I love it when you react so emotionally and seeing your generation love these worlds is one of the reasons the live CR events are even better.

[@jeroen92]

14:22 just the same for me, it really rekindled my creativity and just general joy in life!

[@MrFlaten92]

Your reaction to David Tennant was exactly as mine! I cant fucking wait for this!

[@danis4187]

Your reaction was so wholesome!!!

[@mikemucchetti2260]

I’m not crying you’re crying dammit we’re both crying and it’s absolutely justified

[@whitestoneandy797]

Thank you for opening up and sharing your personal story. That was really touching. The truth is we're not alone. We have people that love and care of us. Even if we haven't met them yet

[@deltablaze77]

It doesn't even feel like "excited" is the right word anymore, like dreams and wishes I didn't know I even had came true and more still. D&D and tabletop roleplaying in general is such an incredible and different medium of storytelling, it is a living story given life by multiple imaginations, it can be inspiring, therapeutic, and empowering. I am so glad to see anybody join this collaboration and to see it do good in their life. It also always warms my heart to shed shared tears with kind hearted Critters of all kinds the world over.

[@lewispence]

ok. I just came across you because of watching reactions to the voices of Vox Machina and instantly fell in love with you as a person. Needless to say i am now a SUBSCRIBER. Your pure excitement about the voices is infectious. i was in awe of most of the cast as well and your reactions sold me even more. i am now a fan of yours. I'm a Sparkler.... not sure what your fans are called but hey made some since so i went with it.

[@TheGerminatorQC]

the reaction you have when you see David TheDoctor Tennant is exaclty the same i had and still have... i am a grown up crying like a 10yrs and... it does not want to go (Who fans will get it)

[@Celticshade]

I subscribed specifically cause i could feel that EXACT same excited coming off of you through the screen. It just felt right. So excited for this show.

[@TheYeahRobert]

If you’re not familiar with Darin you’ll meet him as a guest player in the later part of campaign 1

[@isaiahwelch8066]

This...this brings tears to my eyes, because this perfectly exemplifies every Dungeon Master, every player, who has ever picked up pen and paper to play Dungeons & Dragons, and always wondered: "What would this look like as a TV show or movie?" And now, Critical Role is making this impossible dream a reality...with help from one of the most loving and generous communities on the planet. It's coming, Critters! We absolutely nailed this to the wall, and we -- all of us -- made this happen. This is what happens when something gets created out of love, grows, and that love comes back a thousand-fold. Other than Firefly, I count Critters as the only other fandom I really care about -- so that makes you all family, even though we've never met in person. Take care, don't forget to love each other, and... IS IT THE 28TH YET?!

[@estoy1001]

6:12 - It's fun watching peoples' heads explode... (BTW - Right there with ya...)

[@tycol322]

Critical Role may be a light hearted concept but when they come to play they swing hard and the talent they managed to pull for the cast shows it

[@iamjafooli]

How you reacted to David Tennant is basically how I reacted to Kelly Hu's line reading as Ripley. Like, damn.

[@RonW357]

8 days until the first 3 Episodes. :) They're releasing 3 episodes every week, I'm so excited, I can't wait.

[@sadlobster1]

We've got TWO former Titans on the show; now, I want to see the rest of 'em! Just imagine...Scott Menville, Kari Wahlgren, Tara Strong, Greg Cipes...maybe even Ron Perlman playing characters in Legend of Vox Machina

[@ForeverDegenerate]

Ron Perlman for Kevdak!

@@ForeverDegenerate So much yes to this!

[@ticozayas6430]

@@ForeverDegenerate that would be perfect!!!

[@BaldursPicketFence]

The thing about it that’s so clear to me is that the passion and vision that Matt, Laura, Travis, Liam, Sam, Ashley, Marisha and Taliesin have has clearly spread to the rest of the cast! You can tell that even though they play NPCs, they know how much these characters mean to the critters, they know this show is unique, its origin is special and completely different from other projects and they can sense how important this show will be.

[@dalammadt]

The tears are real. LFG. ❤️❤️❤️

[@AweHitero]

Gotta rewatch Undeadwood.. that little show was brilliant (can't really call it a one-shot, imo)

[@Thurrak]

Your reaction is super adorable. :)

[@8DNArt]

Uhg.. watching you pretty much get excited and come to tears brought me to tears too. Love watching true fan reactions to this.

[@steviehills4256]

My D&D party & I haven't stopped tearing up since they released the video. I'm so excited!

[@Akito_Kiba]

Welcome aboard the insanity ship that is Critical Role! We all, somehow, share the same D&D and CR bond that links us together without really knowing one another. This community helped a lot us go through hardships. Yes sometimes, it can get heated between critters, but like all families (with some weird family members that are stubborn as hell), we have up and downs. However, to quote one beloved lavender tiefling ''Let's leave everyplace better than we found it''. Nonetheless, I am happy that your are getting into this rabbit hole that is CR.

[@RobMiller89]

First time coming across your channel with this video and I wanted to let you know I share your emotions for how amazing this show will be! I had to pause multiple times during this video because I was losing my mind on who the cast was. Every member is an all star! Can’t wait for us all to lose our minds further next Friday when the show drops!

[@UncleTrog]

I think I spent three days after seeing this just running around screaming "What is happening!?" So many amazing actors, it's just fucking insane!

[@TheManderfaye]

I glad I'm not the only one who cried when watching this! Can't wait!!

[@TheYeahRobert]

I have adored your reaction and now I just want to be your friend!

[@poxrael]

You seem like such a great person! It made my whole day to see the pure joy on your face at this. That's great!

I just wanna hug you! Absolutely the same reaction I had. This show is going to be everything we all could ever want

[@galacticriminalx]

You probably won't see this, but I GUSHED and BLUSHED at this reaction. CR is a STAPLE in my life. Seeing it in animation was a dream. I'm weeping at your fellow passion 😊

[@robertabugelis3962]

I am just a fan, but your reaction made me feel like a true fan.

[@spf4yt]

I watched the series and a number of reactions. Then, today, I found your channel. Your enthusiasm and charming nature made it all feel brand new. I am so happy to have found your channel and right away subscribed. I wish you for you every happiness. May your life be filled with health, peace, laughter, and adventure. Slainte!

[@calisasilvertail]

Hugs for you, Hon. It felt amazing to see you reacting pretty much exactly the same way I did. Thank you for sharing!

[@operative2136]

Glad to hear you're enjoying campaign 1, you're in for one hell of a ride. Bit of friendly advice: make sure you have a lot of facial tissues (or alternatively, just keep a whole pile of towels handy) to help soak up the sheer amount of tears you'll accumulate throughout campaign 1 (both of joy and of sadness). On the topic of the video, though obviously not as mind blowing as David Tennant's presence in the series, I am super excited to find out that they've got Stephen Root. He's easily one of the most underrated actors in LA. He's got an equal capacity for both comedy and dramatic acting. Very excited to see Indira Varma voicing Allura too - I think that's an inspired choice as her voice has a natural quality of decorum to it

[@danielleporat344]

I watched this at 3 am in the morning (I just woke up in the middle of the night for no reason and saw the notification) and you can imagine how hard it was to not scream about the david tennant reveal and wake up everyone in my vicinity.

[@SkyMcSparkle]

I feel this in my soul

[@davidparkes7741]

I'm still in awe of just how many amazing people they got in to voice NPC's. I just love these guys & gals.

[@marsmech]

I was walking home from work and when they got to David Tennant I yell "WHOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!".

[@billbill3915]

I wish I could re-watch campaign 1 with you while you go in on a fresh watch. You seem like a great person, and it's really nice to see other people lose their shit over CR like I do. No one I know will even give it a chance which stinks.

I was fine watching this myself. Then I watch your reaction and I cry. Thanks for that.

"He has a level of regality to his voice" yes, even while showing up in a Dunder Mifflin shirt

I dont know you or you content, but since I'm a critter too all the reactions are in my feed and that moment of you going from tears to that gitty giggle when the theme started playing, made my heart melt... such a genuine reaction, loved it :) (also was a nice change from most of the reactors I've seen only chasing views with something they see is getting traction on the platform)

[@amymcclellan5767]

That was my reaction to David Tennant too! I'm so glad I wasn't the only one.

[@grendalsuncle4040]

I have been watching a lot of these reactions to this video you have had the best reaction

[@AAAndrew]

First time watching one of your reactions, and it was so great, so honest. You had me tearing up by the end as well. I've watched this announcement a couple dozen times now, and it still gets me. I think I'm mainly just so happy that these folks who have given so much, and worked so passionately to create a wonderful thing are finding success and recognition. "Inspiration is waiting, rise up, don't think twice. Put your fate in your hands, take a chance, roll the dice." Indeed.

[@SkyMcSparkle]

I'm tearing up STAHP

[@Scribdoodle]

I can relate to tearing up through watching this, Critical Role means a lot to me for similar reasons. Watching your reaction started the waterworks again!

[@steelway2000]

I honestly don't know anyone besides people who were in a show as guests, but seeing eveyone so happy about David Tennant and others makes me sure that these will a veeery good cast choices.

[@quintengraham5923]

Super stoked!!! On episode 109 mysrlf rewatching campaign 1!

[@555smo]

The first season should be following the Briarwood arc of C1, which wraps up around EP 38, so you are worlds ahead of season 1 of the animated series. Just a general FYI

[@southsideindaburbs]

I had the exact same reaction to DT!!!!!

[@canadian__ninja]

the reaction to David Tennant was exactly what I and I assume they were hoping for.

[@Debrutsideno]

💯 the best reaction to the cast I’ve watched. Critterhug, so excited!

[@isaiahwelch8066]

Khary Payton as Sovereign Tal'Dorei is not a surprise, given his performance as King Ezekiel on The Walking Dead. Awesome choice. Okay, now I'm geeking out -- Gina effing Torres is going to be in this!? The first show I ever saw her in is still my favorite: About a common transport ship, in space: My beloved Firefly/Serenity. Gina, I must say: Glad to have you aboard, ma'am! As it stands, I feel you: I'm been visited by the ninjas of Onion Clan, and I'm trying to hold back the tears. #IFailedMyFeelsSave -- _hard._

[@lingbomanbo]

I am also a big fan of critical role as well. In fact, it inspire me to now run my own dnd campaign that going quite well. I even have some of my npc in game that are from critical role as nice easter eggs for my players to spot in the campaign. I am so excited for this show as well and was also a backer before so to see it get such a great cast is awesome. I also love doctor who so I was so excited for that reveal as well.

[@krimzonghost1987]

First of all, Gina Torres? Really? How! She hasn't aged a day since Firefly, I swear to the Everlight. Also, that quote by Stephanie might be my new favorite. "Playing a bad-ass is an internal thing. it's about the space that you've decided that you take up. It isn't about how small or big you are." That's something that can be translated to everyday life as well. Just replace "Playing a bad-ass" with "Being confident".
