Ok so like. I know that's Joey singing in cool as I think am.
I know that.
But like.
Joey is also the singer of made in America.
And my brain is not computing their voices as the same human. This man is incredible. They do sound related but my brain keeps assigning that to the characters being brothers. (Not Wilbur Cross and Pete, like Ted and Pete, but he sounds more similar to Ted then Pete does)
Joey you beautiful man and voice. That range is wonderful.

Let me reiterate: This man’s voice is melted chocolate on steel. Bless your voice and acting Matt McKenzie, bless 🙌🏻
So I posted the regular version of this first because I really liked how the sketch turned out… And then about 4 this morning I decided I wanted to try and do some atmospheric lighting to it and boom— this is what emerged.
I thought about when they were on the cliff precipice before Zanarkand and he was telling Wakka and Tidus about his “failed” story...
As for my fanfiction recommendations these stories are incredible -epic!- and at least two of them are very very long (one at 600K+ words… 😱) They have some of the best insightful prose on the inner workings of and thought processes of people living in the never-ending drain of death that is Spira. Don’t let the shipping part of them distract you -especially- from the Soldier of Spira one because every FFX fan should read that one. I can’t recommend these enough! The title is from that one.

As always, a song to enhance your viewing pleasure:

It made me think of him because it’s a weary song for a weary warrior. Auron’s definitely got the well traveled old warrior thing down pat... Despite the fact that canonically he’s 35...😑 not that old. I’m five years older than he supposedly is.
Sometimes its the music, sometimes its the voice and sometimes both come together and make something totally magical. Well, our theme tonight is going to focus on the voice.
