It is Voltron Day
Photo-A-Day #4076

The day I’ve been waiting for since I went to California to visit DreamWorks Animation Studio has finally arrived. While I’ve already spilled the beans a bit about that trip I did want to show you another thing that was so cool. I got to provide the voice for Shiro, Paladin of the Black Lion and voiced by Josh Keaton, in a little ADR session. It was one of the coolest things I have ever done. I am a big fan of voice acting and Josh Keaton is one of my favorite voice actors ever. I can in no way do justice to the character or his voice but I did give it a shot and it was fun to do. It was my first time in a sound booth and I learned a lot.

I am a member of the Netflix StreamTeam and as such receive various compensations for review and promotion of Netflix shows. Opinions are 100% my own.

I would never, in a million years, think that I would be headed to DreamWorks Animation Studios in California to not only see the pilot episode of Voltron: Legendary Defender but also get to interview the creators and cast. I was also a bit starstruck because I got to meet one of my all time favorite voice actors, Josh Keaton. And you know what, he was a pretty chill dude. We talked about television and cutting the cable cord and all the ways you can get TV without cable. Ways like subscribing to Netflix. You might not realize it but Netflix produces so many different types of content and Voltron: Legendary Defender is but one of them. One amazing show full of incredible heart. When our viewing was over I just wanted to know what was going to happen next. I am looking forward to sharing this show with my kids.
