We all know what we're talking about right? There's a scene in Black Butler where he is.....
ehh... getting some information out of a nun
in a VERY physical way! And the nun
seems to be--Sit down Grell! [off screen, a swooning Grell stands up]
(laughter)
And the nun is rather enjoying it.
Not a very good nun as it turns out.
and umm...
the scene was...ya know... the....(stammer) How do I say it? He-he-he's
SHTOOPING A NUN, OKAY?! He's just...[vulgar hand motion]
it's THERE in the script! It's like, it's how we write their reactions. And then it has "Shtooping react". And-
And so I'm
I did this scene, we did the read, there's like one or two lines that he has
while they're actually in the middle of this very awkward moment, and
I'm in what's called a "Whisper Room" studio
which is a box that
barely holds somewhat of my...
dimensions
and there's a mic in front of me and the door is over here and there's a little bity window right here
so that unless I'm-if I'm on mic, Ian
you know out here in the control console room with his directors chair and his engineer Kevin Leasure
cannot see me
unless I'm off mic. Then I'm right here. And I'll be like, "Hey." "Hey." "Hey." "Hey." "Hey." (pause) "Hey!" So,
I'm like, I'm sitting there and I'm doing this line and I don't remember
the line exactly, um, really.
And I'm NOT going to say it so don't ask.
Crowd: Awwwwww.... :C
Shut up. (laughter and clapping)
Go watch the series!
You can rewind it and hear it all day!
But the first time through
I hear Ian go on mic, cause he's got a microphone out there so I can hear him through my headphones and he's like,
"Yea, it's-no-it's a good read, it's just missing something."
And I'm like, (Sebastian voice) "What's it missing?" cause I'm still in Sebastian voice through the entire session and he loves that.
"What's it missing? What do you think it needs, Mister Sinclair?" He's all-
"I think it needs more movement..."
(roaring laughter)
(Sebastian voice) "You mean you want me to hump the microphone stand-
(laughter and clapping)
"-for the effect it will have on my vocal cords?
"Alright! Turn the lights off." (laughter and clapping)
Cause I'm an actor, I'm getting paid for this, I'm very professional, my directors given me an order,
I'm going into battle.
(laughter)
So I'm in the trenches, as it were, and-and I'm...
MOVING ALONG (vulgar hand motions) to the scene, and the read
is indeed effected by it, and now it--OH really does sound like he's...
interrogating the HELL outta that nun! (laughter and applause)
And when I am done with this...
two, three second take
I hear laughter.....from Ian.
and he would laugh at me a lot because I'm a ***
and so he's like, "hahahaha", but it's not on mic laughter. I can't hear it in my cans
I hear, "HAHAHAHAHA". So I look-
his FACE is right here!
(roaring laughter) in the window! He's like,
"OH MY GOD! YOU ACTUALLY DID THAT! You are a perverted S.O.B.!" (roaring laughter and applause)
"AH! You watched me do that?!" He's like,
"You, sir, are a professional. And I am now pregnant!
"I don't know HOW!"
Ahh...the magic of audio.
That was a great story, and now every time I watch that scene, I think of Ian's eyes just boring a hole through the wall.
"That wasn't creepy or anything, was it, Ian? Thank you!"
Ahh...the things I do for my directors...
(laughter)
Did someone just go, "I can't believe you said that!". Um...
More questions! More questions! Let's see, I haven't done this side of the room yet. YOU-YOU-
