I think considering what a complex and interesting voice he's presenting, he's doing a great job. Lol, maybe soaking the ol' vocal cords in some red wine... or is that taboo for VA's?

Awesome! I think he'll do a great job with Iroh's voice, anyway (judging by the Schooltime Shipping short).
I went to the Con today, and I'm totally wiped. Took some pictures but some are blurry. XD
I couldn't get the 4-7 cards because I couldn't find the booth listed on the third card! Also my brother was rushing me so I couldn't continue with the scavenger hunt.
But I'm not going tomorrow, which I really wish I could (but they sold out so early!), Heroes AND Avatar are tomorrow. ;-;
At least we all have the kind people who are filming them for us who can't see it in person!

So what did you think of the 'new' voice? Greg told me he favorite album since childhood was a the cast recording of a musical that starred Maiko and he is very familar with that voice. Greg's is not totally identical as even he said, but despite what he said I'll tell you this- I literally got chills when I called him the first time to set up for the interview and I could clearly hear hints of Iroh coming out in his voice mail message even though it was just his regular speaking voice. Greg really understands where Maiko comes from in his performance of the character and I think he's the perfect choice. He may sound a little younger, but he'll still be the same Iroh we all know & love. Aww! That's to bad Ayse. I would have loved to have got you on camera! Yeah... The cards went REAL fast. You'd think that would tell people something. Namely: People are STARVED for Avatar Merchandise!!!!!

I had a suspicion it was the new Iroh given your hints. That's so cool. Can't wait to see the video!
I'd only be down for another three seasons if everyone is on board though.

When I first hear Maiko dieing, (well after giving him the proper respect after passing away) I was worried that this would be game over in terms of Iroh since no one could replace Maiko. Though not quite exactly like Maiko (but then again who could) the guy is so good that I couldn't tell it wasn't Maiko until I heard it a second time. Greg is awesome and I couldn't think of anyone else better to replace Maiko for the role of Iroh.

Guys? Can I be awful and point something out?
It's Mako, not MaIko...
Mako, short for Makoto Iwamatsu, was a Japanese actor with a wonderful voice...
MaIko is...something I don't like to think about...

Tut, tut. Use the magic word!
We all want more pictures, and we'll get them courtesy of our amazing little community and the people who remember the folks far away from San Diego (or close by, which is just as aggravating if not more when they can't go) but we have to be patient. I'm not trying to be condescending, just saying that it will come, it's just not here yet. (After all, we have already waited months and months, we can manage a day or two.)

Have a lot of fun and thanks again! @argyle Bender: a very true post @nandi: poor, poor you...
