So.....we have ourselves a little guest on the 32nd installment of WND......

JennaPortrait.jpg|center|Jenna McCombie

Yeah......yeah.....that's Jenna McCombie. Aka Scratch....And she's going to be our guest!

So......who's got questions they want to ask?? Remember, we're not going to ask for spoilers so don't ask those questions. But if you have a question you're just..........itching.....to ask, post them here!

First off, I want to know if she listened to a little scene in WND 19 and what she thought of Greg Miller's take on her character? I also want this certain person to know that she has only been getting better as the series has progressed.

Oooh! I know what else I want to ask. At the live show back last April, this person said her newest favourite scene was something recorded but not yet released. Since we are now in season 3, can she say what that favourite scene is and if there are any new favourite moments, lines or scenes that can be discussed?

I want this guest to know I love them as a performer, and I think they greatly improve the quality of the show. Also when you (as well as Britt) wished me a Happy Birthday on my Facebook back in the summer, it made my day hardcore

You can obviously also submit your questions there. And 7odd, that is one of my first planned questions!

If you can, you can. If not, no biggie. I actually recorded it on my phone, sent it to my work e-mail address, then forwarded it to my Adventureless_Hero address, then sent it to you all. So I dunno. It might suck. But in all honesty, I do appreciate all the hard work you folks do for this FREE podcast. I'm just supah stoked that you got an actor interview, and Jenna McCombie no less!

I'll tell Britt to be on the lookout for it (on the off chance she doesn't read this thread). I don't actually get to look at the 750 Nigerian Prince and Penis enlargement spam emails.

But never again let it be said that I'm completely a heartless douche. I listen to y'all's wishes! I know lots of people have been dying for Jenna to make it onto the podcast.

That's probably what I was going to end up doing, but I'm trying to figure out if we could somehow get it to work without causing feedback....but I suppose this is just way cleaner and easier to manage.

I would like to know what is her favorite thing about her involement with WA.

Also has she done any other voice acting?

Shouldn't you just officially change the hosts to Nik and Britt? Seriously, that Greg fella' is too busy with his bottled water business to be on the show anyway :)

No no we need the Beeze in it too and not just edited in to get Nik's references.

As I've recently discovered a love of all things Scratch... I want to know what experiences Jenna pulls from to create a character like Scratch. I have it on good authority that she's sweet as pie and nothing at all like the crazy Scratch!. :D

Funny you should mention that....I did officially accept the co-host role this morning. With the understanding I may have to bail on episodes because I have a screaming baby and a small apartment where there could be no clean recording done in such circumstances. I've been on a somewhat trial basis trying to figure out if I could balance baby needs and recording. So far, so good. I don't expect my luck to last forever though.

Not necessarily. After all, we'll need more guest hosts to make sure Britt isn't talking to herself.

Besides dude, we pull at least a theory a week from you. It's like you're always with us in spirit :)

I'd ask more questions but I don't want to sound like a jerk. I can imagine Britt reading, "and Adventureless_Hero also asked...and we have another question from Adventureless_Hero...and here's a sound clip from Adventureless_Hero..."

Maybe, if you have time and someone else doesn't ask, perhaps you can ask her if she has always pursued acting or if there are any other professions that interest her. Was she the little girl that dreamed of being an actress?

Litmaster

Mar 28th, 2012, 02:25 PM

Ok, Nik, ask Jenna these if you get a chance:

1. How much of the plot does Kc reveal to you and the other actors?
(for example, if Scratch and, say, Angel were ex-lovers who were trying to keep their relationship secret all this time, then you would probably have to know this information in order to give a convincing performance in the scenes with Shane...right?)

2. How much of a micro-manager is Kc when it comes to how you interpret your lines? Have you ever disagreed with his choice of dialogue for Scratch?

Adventureless_Hero

Mar 28th, 2012, 02:33 PM

If you find that there is a moment of dead air, you totally have to ask Jenna the following put forth to us by the wonderful Bernard Pivot:

What is your favorite word?
What is your least favorite word?
What turns you on [creatively, spiritually or emotionally]?
What turns you off?
What is your favorite curse word?
What sound or noise do you love?
What sound or noise do you hate?
What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
What profession would you not like to do?
If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?

I can't believe we haven't thought to ask these of our previous interviewees. :D

awkwardalex

Mar 28th, 2012, 02:41 PM

(Ifthis has been asked sorry) Sometimes KC does given information to his actors i.e. Kevin Flood knowing who Hannah was/is, but other times he will not like Jim Gleason and Michael's broken arm. Have you ever been given information like this (like knowing that Pippin was on Kalani's plane) that you can tell us, and what is something you would like to know (like Michael's arm or what is with Scratch and Angel)

Oh yeah that reminds me who the hell does scratch have from the season 2 finale?

cupcakezombie

Mar 28th, 2012, 03:56 PM

What has been her favourite roles throughout her career? Any that she now looks back on and laughs (why did I do that kind of laugh)? How different does she find other acting compared with the voice acting here?
Can she tell us any funny stories from cast recordings? Please!!!!!

This may be tricky to ask without pressing for spoilers. Especially the last one. We can generalize it a bit to make it work.

The last was a joke. And like i said what she is allowed to say, if any.

Ah. Gotcha. Humor lost in translation on my end.

Raven

Mar 29th, 2012, 08:07 AM

Based on when WND aired vs when the 31st aired wasn't it already recorded when Flood was interview or am I getting my pod casts timelines mushed together again? IIRC when Kevin Flood was first on after the "she was my Hannah " He didn't know but did on his latest appearance right before part 1?

nikvoodoo

Mar 29th, 2012, 08:55 AM

Mushed together I think.

I'm pretty certain Kc returned to the recording studio in November to get Season 3 underway. We interviewed Kevin in October. He did, however, already know who Hannah was at that time. He may have already known his entire timeline and backstory but we didn't ask him that.

nikvoodoo

Just finished recording and Jenna is by far one of the sweetest people you could ever talk to. I think you guys are gonna enjoy this when it comes out!

I know we hit a small snag with some content that needed to be edited out, but I'm not sure where it is in the posting process. Beez told me he got the edits done. So hopefully later today you guys can get the interview.....I'd certainly hope before tomorrow.

She really is the bomb.

She absolutely is! By far one of the most genuinely sweet people I've ever spoke to.

Just to give you guys an update: Jenna's interview should hopefully be posted today right around the same time as today's episode. Sorry for the delay. There were miscommunications galore to be had and a busy busy Kc piecing together another excellent installment of WA.

Thank you for the update sir. I was literally just about to post a question asking about the episodes whereabouts. I'm excited to get my fix for both WA and WND!

Such a talented Actress, loved this episode.

Is Nikvoodoo the official co-host of We're Not Dead? I'm not complaining. I thought the rumors and theories of future episodes of WA we're crazy and weird until he started showing up. You can tell he's got cred with theater and writing lol.

BTW Brit, I got a papercut today and used some hand sanitizer. Talk about Agony...

Glad you liked the episode! Talking to Jenna for the first time is like talking to an old friend. Super easy, and such a delight!

Yes. I'm the new official co-host. I'll grant you the theater cred. I've been working in and around the industry for the past decade....but uh.....the writing.....not so much. I studied script writing and wrote a smattering of plays in college that got produced but uh....yeah I will never claim to be an actual writer. And even if I did, I'm certainly not on the level of what brings us all here. A very big part of my job is script analysis, and that's what I listen to in rehearsals constantly.
