AX Idol 2009 - Sean Chiplock Final Performance

[Arrosgirl]

question: does anyone know if the voice actors for the finals are able to rehearse this before hand? or do they show up to the finals are handed the script and go from there?

[NGsonicmega]

@Arrosgirl We're given the scripts for our clip we're doing about 3 hours before the finals backstage, but we never see the actual clip until we're on stage performing.

[Aussieroth7]

............. I wish something like that came down here in Australia.

[10lettername]

GREASE GREASE GREASE GREASE GREASE GREASE GREASE

[Aussieroth7]

Dude that was awesome... I wish we have something like that down here in Australia.

[icecreamshakemama]

That was awesome!!!!!! I got chills!

[Negisenseifangirl]

Excellent! I absolutely adore Kenshin and he did it so very well.

[xXKissMeWithPassionX]

that was amazing!

[Digilady99]

Wow, I was just blown away by your performance here, Sonicmega. Wish I could enter a contest like this! Doing this kind of thing is my biggest dream!!! AX Idol is awesome!!! Congrats once again, my good friend!!! :)

[NGsonicmega]

I highly suggest saving up the money to go to this convention if you can, and if you do, trying out for AX Idol. Even if you don't make it to the finals, the feedback you get from professionals who know what they're doing is absolutely invaluable, and there really isn't any true replacement for the experience itself.

I hope to see you there, maybe!

[theguyuknow1]

dam sounds like Johnny!

[NGsonicmega]

"And then everywhere I waddle people will go, 'there goes Johnny Yong Mega, the greatest penguin who ever lived.'"

[Phil3975]

@NGsonicmega Ahem... I had no idea you won AX Idol :O (Bebop from Kyle TV)

[LordotheMorning]

Man that must have been an intense feeling up there. Gotta love it.

[DrivenSavage]

dude simply awsome

[Sasuya]

sean chiplawlk maeks me hawt in mah pants

[DazzleGasm]

:O amazing! I want to marry you now! ha haa :D <3 <3 <3

Keep up your amazingness uh... sean....

and thanks for uploading all these videos LOtB! <3

[NGsonicmega]

Indeed, major thanks to Kristy for doing this for me. I really appreciate being able to watch the action now that I no longer was in the thick of it. XD

And thank YOU for listening in! Rest assured I'm doing what I can to keep consistent and practice often, but I couldn't do it if it weren't for the viewers who comment on my work and give me feedback so I can aim for even higher results the next time around! <3

[Rifftiff]

Wait, so you're going to enter again this year? Don't break my heart, sean.

[NGsonicmega]

AX Idol rules state that past winners cannot ever enter the competition again, so sadly I won't be able to enter this year even if I wanted to. But don't worry, you! I'm totally planning on attending AX anyway and cheering anyone on who wants to give it a shot, whether for the first time or again.

[Rifftiff]

Oh I see. Well then, you better go and cheer for me! :D

[NGsonicmega]

You better make sure you make yourself known to me then! I'm horrible at recognizing faces, but I'm more than capable of carrying a conversation! <3

[bradleybacon]

awesome

[NGsonicmega]

Thank you!

[Spidergurlfrek32]

YEAH THIS IS EPIC... Great job!!! I can't believe a western Student did this... AMAZING... can't wait to start hearing your voice on some realy anime!!!

wonderful wonderful congrats Sean!!!

[NGsonicmega]

Ahaha, thank you so much! I remember the first thing I thought about as soon as it was announced I won was, "Oh man, what am I ever going to tell the guys back at Western..." followed shortly by, "Thank GOD I never have to go through that stress again." Like I keep saying, it was the patience of my hallmates and support of so many others that helped make this come into reality, so thank YOU so much for your continued interest!

[TFUwielder]

My word you have an INCREDIBLE TALENT! You have a ton of skill my friend! Keep up the good work because that was AWESOME! ^_^

[soccerlaker07]

Yay! Western Michigan Student!!!!!!! You made us proud!!

[NGsonicmega]

I'm so glad I could bring something worth recognition back to this college. You guys made the transition from high school very smooth and tolerable, and this is the least I could do to show my support in return. Thanks for viewing this! :D

[kawaaidesu]

amazing job dude XD

[CelesteOrchid]

that was AMAZING!!!! hats off to him

.:Celeste Orchid:.

[neofreed0m]

I can't believe it, he really DOES sound like Johnny Bosch!

[nintendoshaman]

Aw yeah, that's my bro right there! Been learning a lot thanks to him, he's a really great guy. This is lucawesome, by the way. Man, I would've loved to see the expression on your face when you won!

[Mahrahia]

Congrats, Sean! I remember meeting you in one of the Bang Zoom workshops. Keep up the good work :D

[NGsonicmega]

Haha, which day was that, and where were you sitting? I hope you come to AX '10, because if I'm able to reattend I'd totally love to meet up with you again and chill!

[Mahrahia]

Day 3 in the afternoon. I was standing next to the Hancock cosplayer since most of the seats were taken. I'm planning on going 2010 so if you do get the chance to go, we can meet up and chill x3

[NGsonicmega]

I look forward to it! I need to try and make sure I can accrue the funds to attend, but I DO want to go if I can afford it, so we'll see what happens!

[tchiplock]

Hey Sean! You did great. Congrats on the AX win. Hope to see you all again soon. - Tim & Nuhar

[kinganondorf]

um who's Sean Chiplock ?

[NGsonicmega]

That would be me. What you wish to know about WHO I am requires specifics.

[kinganondorf]

thats what you look like

i guess voicing in machinimas paid off

[MonkeyZenkai]

omg He's so good

I was waiting for this on utube

[NGsonicmega]

Oh my. I'm rather surprised that someone was WAITING for this to go up on Youtube... XD

But all the same, thank you very much! I keep saying it so many times, but it's the response that means more to me than the actual performance. Your support and praise does not go unappreciated, and this counts for everyone who has commented!

[MonkeyZenkai]

Dang He's really good I was waiting for this vid on utube haha

[yuricat]

Congratulations, again! You did wonderfully!

[countumga]

This is what voice acting is all about. It's addicting I tell you!

[fairuzathelolita]

It's addicting indeed

[DarM331]

Damn, what a beast!

[hollyweedathollywood]

hell yes!!!

[oatboy88]

Congrats from a fellow Bronco, Sean!

You were all Ben and Jon were talking about last week at orientation!

[NGsonicmega]

Ahaha, oh lord, don't they have enough to focus on? XD

[NGsonicmega]

By the way, the decision to wear a Western shirt was planned from the very beginning. I thought to myself, "pray tell this turns out well for me, I want to represent. WMU, this one's for you!"

And so it is seen ;3

[NGsonicmega]

Thank you Littleone, thank you very much. <3

[morethansalt]

Merdtastic, really... this kid is really embracing his cliche! I love that!

[NGsonicmega]

Ahaha, what cliche do you mean? The only cliche I'm aware of is the "YOUNG MALE HERO PROTAGONIST WITH A CHIP ON HIS SHOULDER AND SOMETHING TO PROVE" one. XD

[morethansalt]

Jejeje! And you make the point for me with each post, too! You're a classic, kid!

[MiakaYuki123]

man he is awsome!

[NGsonicmega]

I'm glad you enjoyed as much as the audience did! It really means a lot to me. :3

[MiakaYuki123]

no problem, your really good ^^

[aqjrbv]

he's really good !! Good job mc lovin lol peace

[pamechan9]

Nice job Sean! :D

[Mofat]

haha sean man I knew you couldn't keep a straight face XD, good going man!

[JurrasicRabbit]

Wow, goosebumps. Where were you back when Kenshin was being dubbed lol.

[DancingOtaku]

SEAN YOU FUCKING ROCK!!!!

[Rider4Z]

sean you were just awesome. we were all jumping up and down for you backstage

~victoria

[NGsonicmega]

I can only imagine what ti was like backstage during that audience response, but it makes me feel bad because I know you guys tried SO HARD and I could just feel the energy being put forth. Luke's performance went really well despite the technical difficulties, but the audience didn't know until it was too late, so he got a LOT less praise than he deserved. :C

I know that script choice is part of the random factor of AX Finals, but still, a lot of things happened this year that shouldn't have.

[LucasRalph]

Aww that's really nice of you to say, but lets be real here; you did way better than me. Don't feel bad about anything. You totally deserved that win, hands down! You rocked the house.

[EatRune]

Looks a bit like McLovin, but sounds a bit like Johnny Yong Bosch. He delivers really well.

Woah, I actually wrote he sounded like that before I got to the part where Kristi Reed said so.

[NGsonicmega]

The Bosch comment really surprised me, actually. I know it's actually a good thing, but I never expected to be compared to him.

Now, the day I'm compared to Liam O'Brien in terms of energy, I will mess myself.

[DMacDouble]

My boy...

[NGsonicmega]

This win is what all true voice actors strive for?

[DMacDouble]

I just wonder what Darkwolf's up to.

[NGsonicmega]

How about a dub, for luck?

[eliteman247]

There is no time. Only your mic will do.

[LucasRalph]

Sean kicked some major ass.

[KittyKax]

lol I was just saying at AX that no guy has ever won AX Idol. Sean has made history! lol

[Xyrsk]

Rock on, Sean. That was amazing.

- Ryusuke

[TearsofPurity]

FUCK YEAH! <3 GO SEAN!!! <3 Excuse my language. I'm just so excited and happy for you~!!!

-ShudoRanmaru

[ValkyrieCeles]

That was freaking amazing Sean! You totally deserved to win this! You're such an amazing VA! I just hope you'll be able to still chil with us when you're all big and famous!

[sunshineismydrug]

Oh my goodness gracious bodacious.

[SaxyGirl008]

Holy shit!

That was amazing

[snowfender]

this is so awesome sean! i know we don't know each other TOO well but i'm so proud of you and so glad that a fellow michiganian/VAAer got this far. you rock and keep going for the dream! =D

[Jester666MotleyFool]

YOU ARE THE MAN SEAN! Congrats! All that work and SMS leading up to it really payed off! Congrats again man!

[XardionZ]

Congrats, Sean! I remember seeing you at the auditions and you totally deserved the prize this year!

[Actorman999]

Epic beyond belief.  You absolutely deserved this, Sean.
