#HappyHalloween Q-Balls! I sit down with a man who has made me interested in voice acting ever since I was 17 years old. A man who has created an absolute legend in the horror genre, the iconic "Ghostface" from the Scream film franchise. Unlike most slashers who are unstoppable brutes, Ghostface is a character who possesses twisted-charm, sexiness and pure menace. I hope you enjoy my chat, with Roger L. Jackson.
He is not simply Ghostface by any means. Roger is a puppeteer, sharing with me his love of Jim Henson, Frank Oz and the Muppets, a talented impressionist, and a man who can create other worldly alien dialects and beastly sound effects. Roger has also voiced another beloved character, that of "Mojo Jojo" from the Powerpuff Girls. Mojo is a stark contrast compared to Ghostface (not simply because of the genre his show is a part of) but because, while he tries to be menacing, there is such heart and humour that Roger brings to the supposed super villain and nemesis of the Powerpuff Girls. Something you will notice in a lot of Roger's work, and in the way he carries himself. You wouldn't expect the man who can make you shiver with just his voice, a man who can send blood curdling shivers down your spine to be such a soft spoken and gentle human being, but of course, that's just another thing that makes Roger great.
Roger shares some absolutely amazing and honest advice about the Voice Acting industry, and of course, being a Halloween episode, we delve into how created Ghostface, working with the legend Wes Craven, and the process he went through throughout this prolific horror franchise.
More importantly, it has yet to be confirmed if Roger will be back for #Scream5, and I know I'm not alone in thinking, there is no Scream 5 without him. He is as integral to this franchise as the Ghostface mask, and the Canadian Scream-queen, Neve Campbell. I will continue to push the campaign and the hashtag #noscream5withoutRoger until we hear what we all want to hear, and he's back in an official capacity!
So on this COVID-Halloween, who needs to go out Trick or Treating? Stay in, watch the Scream franchise, enjoy Roger L Jackson's work, and enjoy as Roger and I discuss Tim Burton, My Cousin Vinnie, and the time he passed out doing orc noises on this screamtastic episode of Vocal Qs.
