The Wolf359 Zachs of Autism

[maandarinee]

Descendants Podcast Season Two WHEN 👏👏👏 binged the whole thing again today. Truly the podcast for when you're like "i wanna listen to zach libresco lose his mental stability and be absolutely tortured by guilt" *chef's kiss*

[herawell]

Whereeeeeee is that photo of Michelle Agresti, Noah Masur, and Zach Libresco sprawled together on a couch with Zach sort of in their laps or leaning against them?

[trinitea-fics]

words cannot express how much i need zach libresco to be in a podcast where he play a sweet, charming guy. let me have a crush on a character he plays!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!

[delaneytalks-tostatues]

This is because I heard Zach Libresco's voice out of nowhere today.

All podcasts lead back to Wolf 359 or TMA. Sometimes both.

[rnoonsetter]

why does the wolf 359 fandom like kepler so much. what is it i'm not seeing about him. don't get me wrong i enjoy his character but he's not even in my top five for depth or personal interest. even if you wanted morally complex men, hilbert and jacobi (and to a lesser extent eiffel) are right there. AND cutter. why is this the one man everybody has such a fascination for

[iamdognow]

i keep putting Kepler in foul situations it’s sick

[castingpods]

Do yall think Zach Libresco and Noah Masur are aware that 5 of us are still on tumblr bashing their characters faces together like dolls or do u think they’re blissfully unaware of our insanity

[annabelle--cane]

finished descendants! very different in vibes than janus descending, more straight up scifi horror than interpersonal horror that happens to be in a scifi setting, but still extremely good. the writing remains excellent, the soundscaping takes an almost absurd leap in quality, and zach libresco gives an absolute powerhouse of a performance. both of these shows are only a few hours to get through each, I would really recommend people check them out, especially if you're a horror fan or really liked wolf 359 and the white vault.

[slateblueflowers]

if you're a Zach Libresco fan, you should check out the video "Checkmates" on youtube channel Matt Morris. he's one of two stars in it.

Ooooh thank you so much for the rec! I will check it out

Having listened to the Graphic Audio full-cast audobook for All Systems Red, it was fun but I have some thoughts about the voice acting and direction. So now I’m just daydreaming about “if I had Billionaire Money I would buy the audio rights to TMBD and direct and produce another full cast audio version with voice actors handpicked and paid lavishly by Me.”

The cast being:

All Systems Red:

Murderbot: Kevin R. Free is the voice of Murderbot to a lot of people. I would think very hard about this but it would be a foundational return to form. However I feel like I want to reach out and find a non-binary VA because it's a niche that's been tragically underrepresented in Murderbot VAs. I joked before about Vico Ortiz playing live-action Murderbot but do they want to try their hand at voice acting?

Mensah: Cecilia Lynn-Jacobs. Voices Captain Lovelace on Wolf 359. Has incredible talent and range and does the Intrepid Galactic Explorer so well.

Pin-Lee: Emily Woo Zeller. An audiobook narrator I've consistently liked.

Ratthi: Stephen Dookie. He plays the part of Polites in Epic: The Musical and he's excellent in a very sweet, upbeat, friendly way.

Gurathin: Sungwon "ProZD" Cho. I'm picturing somewhere in the range of his Miles Edgeworth voice for this.

Arada: Michelle "Vixy" Dockrey. She's a singer not a VA but her voice sounds so nice.

Overse: Tanja Milojevic. Her range is incredible.

Bharadwaj: Rukhmani Desai (Captain Tripathi, The Strange Case of Starship Iris. She has that calm, reasonable, rational, desperately kind character voice she plays well in Starship Iris that I think would go well for Bharadwaj)

Volescu: Zach Valenti. The vibes are right.

Additional voices by Tanja Milojevic and Zach Valenti. Yes all of them.

Artificial Condition:

ART: Janelle Monáe and I mean it

Tapan: ItMe of InCo Podcast

The ComfortUnit: also ItMe because an important part of listening to faer acting is realizing in awe how fae voices so many characters at once and make them all sound distinct.

Tlacey: kinda thinking Ariela Rotenberg. she does smugly confidently evil very well. However we cannot discount casting ItMe for this role also

Additional voices by Tanja Milojevic and Zach Valenti.

Rogue Protocol:

Don Abene: Emma Sherr-Ziarko. She also deserves to be an intrepid space leader again.

Miki: ItMe again in InCo Season 2 Updated SAWA mode

Wilken: me. I want a part. I could totally be a badass evil space assassin

Gerth: does Gerth even have any lines.

Additional voices by Tanja Milojevic and Zach Valenti.

Exit Strategy:

Serrat: Zach Libresco. this casting + Janelle Monáe as ART were what drove me to make this post in the first place.

The Combat SecUnit: Ellen McLain in GLaDOS mode. All 2 lines it has.

Network Effect:

Amena: Ishani Kanetkar (The Strange Case of Starship Iris, The Godshead Incidental, excellent VA for a proud and curious but scared young person)

Iris: Jordan Cobb (Janus Descending, Primordial Deep, excellent VA for a gritted-teeth calm scientist in a strange and dangerous place)

Seth: Avery Brooks (I know it is not the 90s anymore. but. Captain Sisko. I can imagine <3 )

Martyn: Alexander Siddig / Siddig El-Fadil (Dr. Bashir). They're TV actors but! I want them as the Ship Captain Husbands

The rest of ART's crew: other podcast VAs I love who I haven't come up with a role for yet. Kristen DiMercurio, Beth Eyre, James Oliva.

Supervisor Leonide: Claudia Christian (Commander Ivanova on Babylon 5 <333 )

Eletra: Michaela Swee who is very busy working at An Actual Hospital but I have a billion dollars in this dream scenario so I can pay her to take a day and record like 4 lines

Ras: Zach Valenti. This is very important.

Three: Jackie Andrews who plays R. J. McCabe on Starship Iris and Elinor Lopez on The Pasithea Powder has the right Vibes For This

Zach Valenti as the Additional Voice of every goon and target who gets the shit scared out of them and/or dies.

Fugitive Telemetry:

Indah: Molly Olguin maybe. she could Be Indah. Absolutely means we need Jackie Hedeman to have a role in FT too.

Tifany: Michelle Agresti (Wolf 359, Arden)

Aylen: Tracey Sayed (also Arden)

Jollybaby, Tellus, Balin: I would open the floor to the delightful Murderbot fandom. Who wants to voice a Preservation bot

Additional voices by--well you know the drill.

not for nothing but i just think the dude from chicago, illinois, who loves funk music and who has subsumed his personhood in exchange for being really good at his job, who has four songs in his official playlist directly or indirectly referencing poverty, who has not, and i know i never shut the fuck up about this, expressed any kind of prejudice or bigotry despite how much of a colossal asshole he's capable of being, a guy who is terrified of failure and is misguidedly loyal to another guy who gives him the rare benefit of the doubt plus the means and resources to succeed, a guy who seems intent to pass on those opportunities to others who he feels have been deprived of them or stifled by the perceptions of other people....

a guy who was genuinely upsetti spaghetti about the loss of 300$ worth of liquor, a guy who's essentially middle management in a global tech conglomerate, who gets sent to space and probably other places to do the gruesome work that the board of directors and also their closest cronies don't want to do...

i just think that guy doesn't read like someone who comes from wealth, fame, or power.

that reads like a guy who had to claw his way up and still got stalled for Reasons that have nothing to do with his ability or his vision or his compliance. that reads like a guy who is doing what he's doing because he's convinced himself and rationalized that he is working in service to a greater cause.

and i think that guy is just a more interesting and complex character when read as a man of color, especially with his little dialogue about power in shut up and listen. it is, beat for beat, terry's speech in rutherford falls about indigenous sovereignty and engagement with capitalism.

i think gabriel urbina wrote an Unracialized Guy who was open to audition by someone of any gender or race, and zach libresco put on a great performance as kepler, but a Guy Who Isn't Any Particular Race reads inherently like a guy who isn't white when written by a guy who isn't white. anyway. kepler's great. such a fun guy to think about.

[trinitea-fics]

Need to put it out there before it's officially announced, but if Zach Libresco plays Dracula in Gabriel Urbina's new podcast that would be extremely funny

[colonel-kepler]

I think I may be a lovebert shipper now. in large part because I've been listening to janus descending and the main couple there is similar... even up to being forced into an awkward position to work together by zach libresco.

(also, I performed a scene between them in the role of hilbert and I do think that aspect makes them more interesting. I found myself going to Lovelace for comfort once or twice even as we were arguing which seems pretty... indicative)

pre-canon lovebert. but lovebert nonetheless.

[clonerightsagenda]

I should probably listen to Descendants sometime but I'm still hung up on going 'oh wow Janus Descend.ing is an incisive exploration of internalized prejudice and how Peter's misogynoir devours him from within' and then finding out that the creator did not intend any of that. Also it's not his fault but Zach Libresco's voice stresses me out.
