Hi, everybody! Whoa.

Me first?

Yeah Laura, you're first.

[dramatic music]

Rip away.

All right, here we go.

Who does Laura Bailey voice in Naruto?

Oh. That's a good question.

[all laughing]

[Sam] We're off to the races.

I know, wait, I know I voice his mom.

Maaam.

That's how she sounds. Naruto.

Sam and I, Sam and I have both written

and directed for that show and

I don't know the answer either.

Good.

Where does Laura Bailey get her dice?

I get my dice from all over. Conventions, gifting, Etsy.

Critical Role.

I get my dice from the Critical Role store.

Obviously. Thanks, Sam.

Good. Go ahead.

How did Laura Bailey,

Travis Willingham meet? When we were extras, right?

We were background.

Extras.

We were background extras on this like random internet show.

I don't even know what it was.

1999.

Oh my gosh.

We had to sit at a table for like 12 hours

and we weren't allowed to actually talk.

We just stared at each other and fake talked.

Just love at first watermelon, watermelon, watermelon.

I can see him being charming if he never had to like

actually say anything. Oh.

Did Laura Bailey sing Daughter of the Sea?

I did Sing Daughter of the Sea.

That was for World of Warcraft.

[Sam Scats]

That's the one. Is Laura Bailey left-handed?

Am I the only left handies in the cast?

I think so.

I think so.

Wow.

Yeah, and all of, a lot of my characters in video games,

I make them left-handed as well.

Oh really?

Mmhm.

Yep, there we are.

Alright.

I only get four.

Who does Travis Willingham voice?

Myself, heroes, villains, animals

that talk with white gloves.

Oh, I voiced Thor Odinson for about

10 plus years for Marvel.

What does Travis Willingham's tattoo mean?

Ooh. Right.

This is Elder Futhark, like Viking runes.

I always said that if I was lucky enough

to play Thor for 10 years,

I would get a Thor tattoo and instead of getting like a

hammer or a winged helmet or something

worthy is a big thing in Thor's cannon.

So I got something that represents worthy

and now everybody that watches this,

some scholar's gonna be like,

that's not what that says. You dumb shit.

That says pepperoni pizza.

And our son Ronan will be thrilled.

Why is Travis Willingham CEO?

Actually that's a question for the group.

Why? Why am I in that position?

Because you're so smart.

He's pretty smart.

You're, yeah, you're our fearless leader.

Someone said we need to open a bank account.

[Marisha] Yeah.

And Travis was like, I'll go do it.

[Liam] Yeah. How tall is Travis Willingham?

[Sam] Barefoot, naked?

[Liam] In feet.

Okay.

I wouldn't know the meters one.

Three stone.

I'm, I'm six foot four inches tall.

Whoa. Wow.

In bare feet. In shoes, much higher

depending on the designer. Send me your stuff.

Chuck that boat.

Ah.

That was good.

That'll do it.

[Matt] Who does Matthew Mercer voice in Vox Machina?

Oddly myself a couple times.

I also voice Silas Briarwood in season one,

Umbrasyl, the Hope Devourer, in season two,

and Orthax, the shatter demon, in season one as well. Yeah.

And Trinket.

And Craven Edge.

I'm, it's all over. What makes Matt Mercer...

[Sam] Tick?

[Matt] A good GM?

A good GM.

A good GM.

Oh.

Knowing the rules is fine, but that can be flexible.

Doing enough preparation where you're comfortable,

but also being willing to let it go based on what the

players are feeling and just listening to them.

If you're not listening to your players,

you're not really collaborating

and creating something special.

[snores]

[Matt] I'll say that. Travis! God.

Alright. The first-

It's the hair. It's the hair.

You gotta have amazing hair to be a good GM.

10 Years of this.

Where does Matt Mercer get his minis?

Miniature Market's a great website that you can go to.

There's Troll & Toad, which is fantastic.

You do like the train mini place too?

Like the little hobby minis.

Oh yeah.

I get a lot of cool like miniature train stuff.

Train stores are great.

How does Matt Mercer deal with these people?

Come up, come up with names. Um.

[Cast Laughs]

He just chooses a body part and changes one letter.

[Cast Laughs]

Enus Mangina.

There you have it folks.

Say them out loud multiple times before you

say it to your players 'cause they'll

make you suffer for years to come if you don't.

Matthew Mercer...

Vest!

Vest.

That's it.

I have a few. They flow nice.

I call them my, my modern mage look

'cause it just has kind of a little bit of

a weird different glare and you can get them,

you get them online pretty, pretty cheap.

Anyway.

Oh, I instantly got sweaty.

Oh yeah.

God am I nervous?

How did Marisha Ray and Matt Mercer meet?

[Cast aws]

A sketch comedy show that was supposed to be a nerdy

Saturday Night Live.

For the internet.

For the internet.

And we had one writer's room meeting

and then that's where that show ended.

[Matt] Yeah.

Nothing came of that as many shows in Los Angeles.

Now one thing came from that.

The only thing that came from that is me and him.

How did Matt Mercer propose to Marisha Ray?

[Sam] Oh boy.

I love all your, all your questions...

Are about Matt, yeah. This is, oh boy.

This is, I'm just failing, failing the Bechdel test.

He built a whole ass escape room

that was very like Lovecraftian Call of Cthulhu-y themed

and there were a bunch of cultists in robes.

And Travis Willingham was a tentacle monster

that I had to stab in the heart with a glowing dagger.

And no one died. But it was close.

It was close.

It was close.

There was supposed to be a blade switch that happened from a

real sharp pointy thing to one that was not so much.

[Marisha] Yeah.

And somebody ended up shouting with like...

Wrong knife.

Wrong knife.

I was in a silicon like mask and I heard wrong knife.

And I was like, what?

What is Marisha Ray's...

[Sam] Think of Matt Mercer.

What is Marisha Ray's new character?

I'm assuming they mean in campaign three sorcerer-warlock

multi-class named Laudna.

Just a little joyful undead kind of manic pixie dream girl.

Is Marisha Ray vegan?

That's a top search.

Do I give off vegan vibes?

Well, you do have red hair.

No, she's been publicly talking about Taco Bell

for the entire time I've known her.

Taco Bell's vegan.

Uh, no, I am not vegan.

And yes, I will be reevaluating what vibe I put out that,

that that is a top asked question.

Marisha Ray Creator Clash.

Oh, oh yeah.

I fought in Creator Clash this year 2023,

which is like a big internet creator

boxing event for charity.

I fought Haley Sharpe and lost,

but I went all five rounds, so it was great.

Boxing's awesome.

Don't throw it over there.

Hey, that was a good throw.

Who does Sam Riegel...

[Travis] Work for.

Who does Sam Riegel voice?

You grew up watching me play Donatello

in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 20 years ago.

Shhh. Oh no. You don't ever say the time.

[Crosstalk]

Why did you say that?

I also play Phoenix Wright from time to time.

That's his name, right? Yeah.

Yes.

I had a panic that it was some something else.

No, uh, Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney

from time to time. I've done other stuff too.

I've played Spider-Man, Scanlon Shorthalt

on the legend Vox Machina.

Teddie.

Oh yeah, Teddie in Persona.

That's a cute one.

What did Sam Riegel win an Emmy for?

Oh. Well, I'm very talented, so.

[Travis] Oh god.

So it could have been for a lot of things.

Yeah, the writing, the acting, the directing.

But what was it for?

Just to torment us with.

I won for a great show for Prime video

called Danger & Eggs.

I was the voice director of a show

and I won for best directing.

Where does Sam Riegel get his shirts?

Oh.

Speaking of shirts.

I make these shirts.

I typically order them from really cheap places

and they're really, really bad.

They fall apart.

And they smell like vinegar usually.

They peel.

How often do you get a rash from them?

Daily.

Are Sam Riegel and Liam O'Brien dating?

[Cast aws]

For many, many years and we've never been happier.

No. We are both married to women currently.

If we were both single, you know, who knows.

Who knows.

But for now...

Different pathway.

We are just in love as friends.

Why did Sam Riegel wear that damn shirt...

Leave Critical Role?

What?

What?

I have sent announcement.

Is this how you tell us?

[Cast Laughs]

I got cast on Abott Elementary and I'm out. Sorry guys.

One of my characters left the group during campaign one,

but I would never leave Critical Role until forced out,

which might happen any day.

Taliesin Jaffe, how to pronounce Taliesin Jaffe.

Oh shit I just blew the answer.

[Cast Laughs]

What are some of the good mispronunciations?

[Sam] Yeah, that's.

Oh, Taliesin has been fun.

Taliesin although that is actually like

the Welsh pronunciation.

I believe it, it means like radiant brow,

which is also shiny forehead

which is why I have to constantly.

Radiant brow.

Yes.

I'm gonna get corrected on that.

[Marisha] The Welsh are speaking some truth.

[Sam] What happened to Taliesin Jaffe?

How long do you have?

That's an evergreen question.

How much tape we got?

I've asked my parents several times what happened?

Uh, yeah, uh, God. Boarding school,

bad clothing decisions, very iffy hair dye.

I mean, a lot of things.

This question has so many layers.

Like, yeah.

Where is Taliesin Jaffe, I'm assuming from.

Born and raised in Los Angeles.

Venice Beach, moved all the way to Santa Monica, Van Nuys.

I think I've lived in almost every neighborhood in LA.

We kind of moved around and yeah, that's...

Have you lived out of state?

A couple times. A little over a year in Tokyo,

which was great.

I did a couple years in Colorado and then I did a year in

Texas where I met the two of you.

Was like wow, there are talented voice actors in Texas.

[Sam] Taliesin Jaffe Critical Role characters.

Well, there's Percy de Rolo who you can watch

Tall is Liam O'Brien Critical Role.

Hi, I'm Liam O'Brien, Critical Role,

Aw, that's so sweet.

How did Sam Riegel...

[Cast Laughs]

Bechdel test! And Liam O'Brien meet?

Oh boy. Well, sat down at a, on a panel for a convention.

Five minutes into it we were making each other laugh

and I said, and he told me he was coming to LA.

I had moved to LA a year prior and I just said,

Hey, we should be best friends.

Oh, Laura Bailey Liam O'Brien tattoo.

We need a matching tattoo.

I was just thinking about this.

All right, let's get a tattoo. We have tattoos.

We got tattoos like as a group.

Oh, and Marisha.

And Marisha.

We all got the square one that

accidentally looks like a Gmail symbol.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Travis and I made but made better decisions there.

We did. Sam too, Sam got the circle.

The literal first thing someone said

when we walked out with the tattoo. Oh, you like Gmail?

God dammit.

The entire crew is laughing.

Is Laura Bailey in The Last of Us?

Yes. I am in The Last of Us.

What about the show?

I am.

So I did like a little easter egg in the actual series.

Neil asked if I would go and be one of the nurses in the

scene in the final scene because I played one of the nurses

in the game along with Liam O'Brien.

[Crosstalk]

Laura Bailey eyebrow wiggle.

It's how she got me folks.

Beautiful.

Oh no.

I'm sorry.

We're gonna ruin your whole set.

Did Travis Willingham play football?

I did. I played in high school for a few years.

I walked on at TCU,

got hit by people that were finally my size and I was like,

I don't like this very much. I'm gonna go act instead.

Is Travis Willingham allergic to cats?

You guys, I'm so allergic to cats.

If you showed me a picture on your phone,

I'd start having a reaction.

I can walk into a house and if there are cats present but

not visible, I will know within half a minute. No problem.

Does Travis Willingham do woodworking?

[Cast Laughs]

I was in the, the, Webelos like the Boy Scouts.

[Liam] Sure, sure.

For I don't know, one year.

And in the back of the catalog,

they always had like the cool like go-kart kit or the

hovercraft and they had like a Swiss army knife and I was

like, I wanna take up whittling.

And so I got a piece of wood and I cut myself

on the first time.

I was like, I'm done whittling.

That was my woodworking.

Did Travis Willingham make the airship?

I did! It's like little balsa wood

with laser cutouts and stuff.

And it takes a minute.

It took a long time.

It didn't take as much as your stupid horse.

That totally works.

Yeah. I made the little ship

and Robbie totally left it at the set. Yeah.

No he did not.

No, he kept it.

He gave it away to a kid in game though.

He did.

Yeah, and it was so cute.

It was super sweet.

Does Travis Willingham speak Japanese?

Hai. No, basic stuff. Yes. No. I'm sorry.

[Speaks Foreign Language]

Another beer, please.

If you dub enough anime, you absorb some of it

a little bit.

Or drink in Japan.

Yeah.

How does Matthew Mercer...

Organize his notes?

Microsoft Word and printouts, like people,

people swear by the laptop and that's probably a much

smarter way. But I'm, I'm a very tactile person.

I need to have printed sheets

so I can look like a complete imbecile

trying to figure out where I put

the right thing in the order.

You find the, the like character so quickly though.

If we ask you questions about something, you're like, oh.

And then, you know.

I lay 'em out in the back there. So I have like,

I have like city information over here.

I have like regional information. I have like, you know,

all my notes for the actual session

in the back of the, the screen.

And then I have other ancillary things nearby

and then my phone if I absolutely need something

that I don't have. So that's how I organize.

Is Matthew Mercer in Zelda? Oh boy.

I am, I am.

I'm very honored to voice Ganondorf

in the Tears of the Kingdom that just came out.

Does Matthew Mercer write his own campaigns?

I do. It would be so much easier if I didn't.

It's, it's the thing I love.

It's the thing I've always loved since high school.

And so I make this for my friends.

I make this for us to enjoy together. And it's, it's,

it's my hobby time. I get to sit and, and create stories

and then have them destroy them

in wonderfully complicated ways.

When did Matt Mercer start playing TTRPGs?

It would've been 96 or 97. It was, it was my, my,

my very beginning of my high school. I found out later on

my grandma played it on my dad's side.

Really?

Yeah.

That's so cool.

My granny, she played them for a bit back,

back when they first came out.

Is Matthew Mercer leaving Critical Role?

No.

Are you insane?

This is the part in the documentary

where it switches to black and white.

Are you guys switching out together?

Yeah. We both booked rolls on Abbott Elementary.

[Cast Laughs]

Is Marisha Ray sing?

Can Marisha Ray sing?

Can Marisha Ray sing?

This is not my forte.

Objection. You're good. You just don't have confidence.

I don't have confidence in my singing.

I have to have like at least two cocktails

before we sing at karaoke.

And when she does, she does a mean rendition of

Crazy Little Thing Called Love.

Coming for you, Freddy Mercury.

Marisha Ray anime voices.

Oh boy.

Oh shit, Laura Arseid in... I don't know.

What's the name of that thing?

8 pointed object.

She's gone away. She's gone somewhere else.

I'm in some, I'm in some animes.

Awesome.

I'm in some anime.

Marisha Ray tattoo meaning.

On, hang on.

I can blast through this really quick.

Hang on. Okay.

Okay. Okay.

This was my first tattoo. Kind of a Burning man tattoo.

It means the line is long, but it is not infinite.

This is also a kind of a Burning man tattoo.

This was our camp art car called Sensitron.

This is a D&D tattoo.

These are the death saving throw dots.

Meaningful and practical.

This is 'cause I love Gmail.

This is a Hollywood Boulevard star because for three years

I was a street character on Hollywood Boulevard

to make ends meet when I first moved to Los Angeles.

And then this is my lemonade stand that I had growing up.

And then my most recent one, I just got this is the

[Laura] Oh my gosh.

Yeah. The Ahsari symbol.

[Laura] I haven't seen that yet.

It looks beautiful.

Well, thank you guys.

Marisha Ray flex.

[Cast Says Bam]

And finally, Marish Ray dog.

Easy.

Matt and I have a wonderful Corgi named Omar.

He's the best.

I love him so much.

Yay.

Was Sam Riegel on Broadway?

Oh. Boy. I love this show.

I just get to talk about myself. I was on Broadway.

Yes. I did the national tour of Les Miserables

and then I did the Broadway production of the Sound of Music

and I was very good.

That was right before,

that was right before the Junior Rodeo.

Yes.

Yes. Before the Junior rodeo.

I also did some off-Broadway productions.

I was in I Can Get It For You Wholesale.

Oh boy.

It didn't ask about Off-Broadway.

I know, but I want to go down my whole resume.

I did some dinner theater.

Does Sam Riegel sing?

I do sing more than these folks probably prefer.

I was in an acapella group.

Even before the acapella group in college,

in high school I was in a do-op group.

I sang fifties and sixties.

Wow.

Wasn't there a boys band?

I was also in a boy band called City Boyz.

City Boyz With a Z.

Oh no, I didn't know that.

Is there an album?

I think we recorded an EP or a single,

Is that on cassette tape?

It probably is.

Are you guys like posted up in front of a brick wall?

For sure. We wore a Z. Cavariccis.

We had earrings because we were bad.

Hey girl.

Oh my God.

And we danced and we sang at Paramus Park Shopping Mall

in New Jersey.

Oh, I did not know this.

Yeah. Sam Riegel ASMR.

No.

Hi.

Hi, Wired. It's me, Sam Riegel.

I'm doing some ASMR for you. Oh yeah.

[Mouth noises]

Sam Riegel... Burt Reynolds.

It's true.

We have never seen them both in the same room before.

To clarify, in campaign one,

my character Scanlon Shorthalt,

would go in disguise frequently.

And I think the first time this happened in our home game,

I was like, I am, my name is Burt Reynolds.

And you, you held your finger up as a mustache.

But I had such a high persuasion stat that that worked.

Yep.

Sam Riegel Dungeons and Dragons movie.

Ooh.

There's some speculation that the D&D movie references my

character Fresh Cut Grass because they say those words three

or four times during the movie.

I, not confirmed or denied. I'm gonna say that yes it's...

[Cast Laughs]

Is Taliesin Jaffe his real name?

Yes. As far as I know. Yes.

It is my real name.

Beelzebub.

[Cast Laughs]

As much as I can.

Asmodeus.

I guess the real one then like I lose my power on that.

Yeah, I've tried to to summon you using Taliesin

and it didn't work.

[Travis Does Demon Noise]

That was really good, Travis.

[Sam] Taliesin Jaffe goth.

[Travis] Goth. Yes.

Yes, Jim Henson died and I wore black to school

and kind of never stopped.

Oh wow.

So that was kind of...

That's great.

Yeah. That was more or less kind of the beginning of that.

And then eventually I discovered eyeliner and music.

It was pretty good.

[Sam] Next one, Taliesin Jaffe immortal joke.

Well. It's not a joke.

It's not a joke.

It's not a joke.

Someone noticed they couldn't find a birth certificate on,

on record and one thing led to another.

They found some ancient tablets at a pretty good likeness.

They just assume I've been everywhere now

it's like 70% true.

Survivor of Pompei.

Could've been better

Taliesin Jaffe... graduated.

[Laura] Grandfather.

Grandfather. Oh, thank you.

Are you a grandfather?

That's a lot of questions I don't know if I can answer.

As far as I know, no.

My grandfather was a screenwriter and a playwright.

A lot of my family has worked in the industry for actually

like four generations.

[Sam] It looks like you're kissing yourself.

Yeah, right there I really,

I'm just gonna keep moving myself.

But yeah, he, he wrote the film adaptation of Bus Stop.

He wrote The Seven Year Itch.

He wrote a whole bunch of films.

He did the adaptation of the Manchurian Candidate,

which is a lot of fun.

And a movie that called Lord Love a Duck.

Which no one's seen, but you should.

It's a lot of fun.

[Sam] Taliesin Jaffe... Hair.

I do have hair.

Why?

I've been dyeing my hair since high school and it's not

always been this. It's been, I've done like the long hair.

I've the Bowie.

It used to take bleach blonde.

It was bleach blonde. It was jet black.

I've done kind of everything and I,

I've kind of settled into the Mohawk for the last few years.

It's kind of nice.

[Laura] I like it.

Liam O'Brien eyebrows.

[Cast Laughs And Crosstalk]

They're painted on.

I pencil them in every day.

There's a lot of people on the internet.

Maybe it's, it's how much I furrow my, maybe.

[All] Carmen San Diego.

I am Carmen San Diego. No,

I play Professor Maelstrom in the recent reboot of the

Carmen San Diego animated series is really good.

[Travis] Liam O'Brien... Bane

Oh. Does anyone have a coffee cup for me to speak into?

Let's read the next question.

Liam O'Brien, you were born in blah blah blah.

Gollum!

Pull out all the tricks!

The last three are characters that you're not.

This really, that does not work.

It's still three characters and eyebrows.

When did Critical Role...

Eyebrows.

Eyebrows.

[Cast Laughs]

When did Critical Role start?

Technically, the home game was 10 years ago.

Technically, was it 10?

Wow.

Yeah.

Or was it 11?

2000... 12?

Pin this down to a single moment so many times and fail.

'cause it's so many. I think.

I think it's December of 2012 when we started.

Right.

Whoa.

Why is Critical Role so popular?

I think it's our looks. I think it's.

I think it's our eyebrows.

Yeah. We're just so handsome.

How much of Critical Role...

[Marisha] Is scripted?

I thought that was gonna happen.

Knew it.

Zero

One hundo.

None of it.

Well, everything, everything before

the actual episode starts,

some of that's like planned.

Like we have advertisers, sponsorship leads.

Sure.

But after that, after the, the intro starts,

it's just Matt making it up as he goes.

I have no idea what you guys are gonna do.

That's, that's the joy of it is

like keeping it secret and letting

you guys experience it in the moment.

How do Critical Role know each other?

We were all acquaintances.

Yeah.

Some of us were closer than others.

Like I think I met Marisha for the second time

at that very first game.

I didn't know Ash.

The first time I met Ashley was when she came over to play.

Same actually.

And I think a lot of us had just kinda

met through voiceover stuff.

Actually, go back to to previous question.

I think that's why it is popular

'cause we're just like doing us.

Like we weren't cast or put together. We're just friends.

And I think when you watch, you can see us enjoying it,

but also fucking it up the entire time as well.

And there's just like a certain draw to that.

So I think people get to feel like they're hanging with us.

Will Critical Roll Campaign Two be animated?

Oh shit!

The answer's actually yes.

It will!

Yeah.

Mighty Nein is coming to...

It's been green lit for Prime Video.

What what!

It is baking in the oven right now.

What is Critical Role about?

Well, we should have done it started with that one.

[Cast Laughs]

Critical Role is about a bunch of nerdy ass voice actors

that became really good friends by rolling dice

and making things up and making sure they laugh and cry.

Killed it.

Nailed it.

Who sings Critical Role Intro?

Which one?

Oh yeah, there's several.

The current one is everybody. Everybody.

Everybody sings in the current intro.

The last one was Laura and Ashley.

That was with some backups from the boys.

Yeah and the one before that was just music.

Who owns critical role?

[All] We do.

Creator owned, y'all.

They bought me out.

That's why he's leaving.

Is Critical Role making their own system.

We've announced we are the Illuminated World system.
