once you're a jem girl, you're never the same

so, it was a small convention (although, someone said they'd seen
smaller. but really any smaller and it's just having your friends
over to watch a dvd). the guests weren't so huge. there was Mr. shake hands man from the short lived fox show, banzai! there were some people i'd never heard of. and one person who i'd never heard of but with credentials i recognized:

Mr. Wally Burr a cute litte old man, and voice casting and director for JEM! among other things. and I find out now, he was also the voice of minor characters, the fathers of both pizzazz and jem! oh dear, i talked to the voice of jem's father and didn't even know it!
Lydia and I went to his panel, he was supposed to be talking about,
oh, i don't know, something to do with voice acting and casting.
Mostly he just told anecdotes. Like about how the last thing Orson
Welles did, 2 weeks before he died, was work on Transformers with
him and be an ass.

so mr. burr talked about how he was working for a lot of hasbro
shows. he not only mentioned jem by name, but briefly explained it
for people. i almost died happy right there. but later on we met
him in the hospitality suite, i was afraid to talk to him. but he
approached me because lydia made us sit in the front row. he asked
me if i was interested in voice acting, and i refered him to lydia,
but not before saying i came because i wanted to see someone who
worked on JEM. and we talked about it for like an entire minute or
two. He had good memories of it, and told me about writer Christy
Marx (who was on the DVD) and I told him how everyone on the DVD
thinks JEM was just fantastic and has nothing but great stuff to
say, and would love to do it again. he seemed to be in agreement.

What i really wanted to ask was how they chose the voice of Aja,
because it's so normal, but so weird at the same time. But i was
afraid to ask. Mostly because it was 20 yrs ago and I didn't expect
him to remember something like that... Maybe next time.
