As I’m reading the book “Bojack Horseman: The Art Before the Horse”, I’m learning that the actors almost never record their lines together. The show is amazing, the dialogues flow so beautifully, so it seems insane how the actors can convey such chemistry while recording alone in a booth. Paul F Thompkins: “It’s the only chance we get to act opposite each other. So we really get to play those moments, those real sad, or angry moments with each other at those table reads. (…) I’m always seated across Alison Brie, and to be able to do those emotional scenes from their marriage in person like that - you know, even though she’s playing a human and I’m playing an anthropomorphic dog - to get to play that relationship, even just one time face-to-face, is always very exciting to me.” Allison Brie: “We get to experience the scenes together, playing off of each other and getting a sense of what the other actors would be doing. So when it comes time to record alone in a booth later, we can recall how it felt to do the scenes together”

vadoraa if you like the show, I’m sure you’ll love the book. It has so many fun details about the making of the show. For example, did you know that the visuals came waaaaaaay before the idea? Lisa Hanawalt had been drawing anthropomorphic animals for years, which then inspired Raphael Bob-Waksberg to create an animated visually based on it. And the book is full of those as well 😊

I’m going to be the first director to leave the bloopers in the movie. Why not.I love seeing people have a good time. When I watch the “Friends” gag reel It sends me to the moon. It gets me caught between the moon and New York City!!! What I would give to have been a part of something like that. Or a part of anything. I hope to be a part of something, anything, one day.

Telling people who come over (and are not allergic to cats) that I can’t wait for them to meet my pups and then I introduce them to my cats. I refer to the cats as dogs, pups, etc. and the person is like “lol that’s a cat“ and I’m like “lolllll…um…that’s a dog. 💅” When something isn’t for me, I do a lil Shark Tank bit. Say I got some food that wasn’t for me, I would say, for instance, like, “The food was unbelievably salty, lukewarm, and had an egregious texture- and for those reasons- I’m out.” When someone is being bossy in the kitchen I do a lil 🫡 and say “YES CHEF”. When someone is being bossy about questions I say “YES YOUR HONOR.” When someone is being bossy about giving a direction to do something I say “🫡 SIR YES SIR.” Overexplaining a bad joke as part of the bit. Like really taking it far with trying to explain the joke and why it makes sense to you. I did this unironically at first but then I was like maybe it can just be part of the joke, explaining the joke a whole lot, so it’s part of the joke now. Asking my wife “Do you want to hear a song I recorded?” and then putting on a song that she knows, like “Retrograde” by James Blake and being like ”how do you like my vocals on this track?” and then when she says ”yeah it’s good” I say “thanks, it’s one of my favorite songs I recorded- you can look it up online, the song is “Retrograde“ and I recorded it under the name Hames Blakay- spelled James Blake.” Sending your best friend a voice note doing a YouTube Karaoke of “Higher” by Creed. Telling them you also take YouTube Karaoke requests. Creating bitmoji soap operas through text with your best friend. Going in really creating the visuals, voices, and personalities of full on characters and everything.
