I liked the advice he gave on an episode of Retro Replay, where he was basically saying to not take rejection personally. If you're not the right fit, it doesn't mean you were terrible. The casting people more or less *have* an idea of what they want, and they just hope that idea walks into the room. It's not that you are terrible at auditioning, but it's a matter of luck and timing. Somewhere out there, a casting director is imagining someone that might end up being you. It'll take hundreds of auditions to end up at the casting call where you happen to be the perfect fit. And if you don't happen to be the fit, it's not about your ability. >.< Nolan North is just so great!!

[@fullmeatalvapire]

What episode was that?

[@PachuStrauss]

Living legend. A man whose footsteps many kids will follow in the future, if not already.

[@christiant.g.994]

Following NPCs right xD

[@DMWolFGurL]

I love Nolan North. Him and Troy Baker are my voice acting idols and they are gold together. Two of the funniest guys together. so Crazy seeing him being so serious because he is so silly on Retro Replay. I think Nolan and Troy need their own podcast.

[@peperruti]

With Nolan North, there is no such thing as worst. He's too damn talented.

[@leonardowynnwidodo9704]

Talent is just part of success, the rest is mostly made up of a lot of persistence and diligence

[@leonardowynnwidodo9704]

Frankly, I also had that feeling back in high school. So, we had a "language" festival starting from my 2nd year of high school, and I was the only one in my class taking Mandarin classes that took part in the singing competition. While I was practicing, I noticed that another contestant had a musician playing his song, while I looked up mine on the Internet, and I thought, "Oh, man, I bet he'd win." After the the festival was over, and the judges called out the winner, I was shocked and in disbelief to hear that the contestant who won first place was in my classroom, until they called out my name and I was overjoyed. I then thought to myself, "I guess all my efforts really paid off." Nolan, you really are an amazing person.

[@bugatti_cuda5959]

Nolan north is like the Ryan Reynolds of video games. _CHANGE MY MIND_

[@ThisHandleIsInteresting]

He's better than Ryan Reynolds X)

[@frayedsanity]

I'd say the Morgan Freeman of video games.

[@ThisHandleIsInteresting]

@@frayedsanity I would have thought Dave Fennoy or Keith David was the Morgan Freeman of video games. But yeah, I would still put Nolan into the same category, his voice is gold.

[@frayedsanity]

@@ThisHandleIsInteresting it is gold indeed.

[@naminefair]

Nolan is more of a sweetheart doofus than Ryan.

[@valeriebrentin2692]

It's weird hearing drake's voice and not seeing his face.

[@broosewain1528]

He looks kinda like him

[@H.K.5]

And Desmond Miles.

[@ajandmardalizad5981]

I spent more than 3000h on this man's voice! That's more than 1% of my life!

[@JoeKellogg-ko7vq]

[@ThisHandleIsInteresting]

@@Spike294 He's more so in voice over than anything else in film.
