Steven Universe Podcast: Fan Celebration

This is an outline of the Steven Universe Podcast regarding “Fan Celebration”: an issue of the podcast in which voice actors and storyboarders answer fan questions. No volume number or episode number was given for this one. The official description:

It's a celebration of the fandom! Zach Callison (voice of Steven), Deedee Magno Hall (voice of Pearl), Michaela Dietz (voice of Amethyst), Matthew Moy (voice of Lars), and Storyboard Artists Miki Brewster and Lamar Abrams tackle everything from gem weapon of choice to creating their own storylines to favorite scenes and hardest ones to voice and create to memorable studio moments and best-loved characters!

This is a long podcast with a long summary, so as usual I will give you a bulleted list of highlights, followed by a detailed summary.

Highlights:

Miki Brewster’s favorite characters to board are Amethyst & Ruby. Character reactions are inspired by what she thinks a fan would want to see, and designs she loves are overgrown old Gem stuff on Earth. In the SU world, her weapon would be a greatsword.
Matthew Moy would have related to Pearl or Lars most as a child. His hardest thing to VA for has been Lars’s switch to being a confident space captain. He feels connection to characters he plays is vital. His memorable moment with the Crew was finally meeting Estelle after about four years of doing the show. A line that sums up his character would be just groaning about what Steven has gotten him into. His favorite episodes to be part of were probably “Lars of the Stars” and “The Good Lars.”
Lamar Abrams would have related most to Sapphire as a child. His hardest thing to VA for was the energetic stylings of Zooman Wy-Six. Lamar leans on direction to properly play characters and doesn’t necessarily need to relate to them. His memorable moment with the Crew was improvising a chant to egg Sour Cream on in “Lars and the Cool Kids.” A line that sums up his character (Buck) is “That’s nasty. I don’t like nasty stuff.” His favorite episode to be part of was maybe “Shirt Club.”
Deedee Magno Hall thinks the thing her character would never say would involve enthusiastically ordering food. If she was in the SU world, her weapon would be an antibacterial spritzer. The most fun part of her job is the people she works with. The hardest scenes for her involve when Pearl screams. Deedee’s favorite thing to record is “all the songs.” If she could write an episode, she would have it be musical and involve a tour of the SU world on a flying carpet. she thinks jewelry in the SU world would be an alternate way to protect your friends and keep them close.
Michaela Dietz thinks the thing her character would never say would be a sincere “I love you” (though she would SHOW it), or maybe saying she’d had enough food. If she was in the SU world, her weapon would be a cannon that shoots “the bits.” The most fun part of her job is the people she works with. The hardest scenes for her involve talking during a song. She says she sometimes has to burp on cue and has trouble doing it. Michaela’s top episode to record for may have been “The Question.” If she could write an episode, she would have the Crystal Gems writing a cartoon. In answering what food Amethyst would NOT like, she thinks it’d be anything with nutritional value or superfoods. And she thinks jewelry in the SU world would be like being able to carry your friends around.
Zach Callison thinks the thing his character would never say would be about loving his mom (his feelings for her are weird, and he doesn’t know her), or that Steven would never insult a restaurant’s cooking and send it back. If he was in the SU world, his weapon would be a gun blade. The most fun part of his job is the people he works with. The hardest scenes for him were doing all the Stevens in “Steven and the Stevens.” A funny VA moment for him was when he and Grace Rolek had to stuff huge marshmallows in their mouths for a full-mouth line. Zach’s top episodes to be part of were big turning point episodes like “Jailbreak” and “Mr. Greg.” He thinks the biggest difference when recording for a video game is the increase in effort noises and being trusted to know their characters more. If he could write an episode, he’d have Peridot and Steven hunting down a mob boss in a gritty episode where they’d fuse into a tiny Fusion at the end. He thinks jewelry in the SU world would be like keeping Gems as pets and would horrify Homeworld.

The detailed summary is below!

Steven Universe Podcast: Diamond Days

~~Quite late again blogging this one because I was out of town for my birthday and dealing with weirdness surrounding another death in my social circle so fun times~~

This is an outline of the Steven Universe Podcast regarding the "Diamond Days" arc: discussing the episodes "Legs From Here to Homeworld," "Familiar," "Together Alone," and "Escapism." No volume number or episode number was given for this one. The official description:

Zach Callison (voice of Steven), Michaela Dietz (voice of Amethyst), and Deedee Magno-Hall (voice of Pearl) return to talk "Diamond Days!" They breakdown the big White Diamond reveal, the Party Pearls, Steven's nightmare in "Together Alone," and the return of Opal! You'll also hear what it was like for Zach to voice the Watermelon Stevens and the Pebbles, and his thoughts on doing harmonies for "Escapism" (a song that Rebecca Sugar previewed on this very podcast over a year ago!).

This is a bit long, as always so I’ll do my bullet points of interest, with longer descriptions after the jump.

Highlights:

The cast all agrees that it’s amazing how far the show has come from just learning that the Gems were aliens to actually going to Homeworld together.
They loved seeing the fan reactions to the episode “Legs From Here to Homeworld” at San Diego Comic Con, especially the White Diamond reveal.
White is Zach Callison’s favorite Diamond.
Everyone loves White Diamond’s shoes and Michaela thinks the stark contrast of her black and white coloring makes an impact in such an otherwise colorful show.
For “Familiar,” Zach and Susan Egan got to mess around a lot with figuring out the Pebbles’ voices. They were all pitched up from original recordings.
Zach loves getting to record with Susan; it’s obviously only happened rarely.
Sometimes the voice cast gets invited “upstairs” to look at stuff for the show that’s “like 70 years into the future.”
They discuss how many elements of “Familiar” included “princess in a tower” imagery, especially from Cinderella in that scene with the Pebbles making Steven a dress.
The voice actors feel really honored to be on such an impactful show, and Zach loved getting to grow up with Steven. He was satisfied at first with just getting to be on a cartoon, but is now so blown away by the development of this one.
They all loved Yellow Diamond’s neck in the dream at the beginning of “Together Alone,” but agreed that the dream was like a horror movie.
Deedee manages to keep the different voices of the Pearls consistent through coaching from Rebecca and reviewing her previous performances.
Deedee was asked to emulate a telephone operator’s voice for Yellow Pearl and to mash up impressions of Marilyn Monroe and Betty Boop for Blue Pearl.
Zach was excited to do background vocals on the song “Escapism” because if he has no part in a song he generally does not get to hear it early.
The episode “Escapism” reminded Deedee of Castaway and McKenzie of the Star-Bellied Sneetches from the Dr. Seuss book.
Zach recorded the Steven lines before the Watermelon lines so all the Watermelon grunting wouldn’t affect his voice, but he does not find the grunting vocally demanding.
Zach loves “offbeat sessions” like this episode with so few words. He points out that some of the grunts are Watermelon versions of phrases he’s told to interpret, like “he’s going to build a raft!”
Recording for Steven Universe has been going on for a third of Zach Callison’s life. He started at age 14 and he's 21 now.
Deedee says she is the oldest in the main cast but feels like she was the greenest at the beginning.
"See you next Thursday” implies another podcast episode the following week.

The detailed summary is below!

Steven Universe Podcast: Volume 2, Episode 5: Connie

In the second season of the Steven Universe Podcast, episode 5, released February 22, 2018, is about Connie! The official description:

We're spotlighting Steven Universe's best-friend, Connie, on the Steven Universe Podcast! Grace Rolek, who voices Connie, and Zach Callison, the voice of Steven, talk about their characters' friendship, and recent struggles on the series. And creator Rebecca Sugar and former EP Ian Jones-Quartey explain Connie's sword, her relationship with the Gems, and the yin & yang that dictate Connie and Steven's respective designs and personalities. Plus, Connie drops in to talk about school, Stevonnie, and her fabulous new haircut!

As per usual, the podcast is on the long side, so I'll open with bulleted highlights and include a more detailed narrative under the cut.

Highlights:

Connie has been planned as a character since the beginning; drawings of her are included in Rebecca's original sketchbook.
Connie is designed as a foil for Steven, with each of them possessing traits the other lacks so they can fit together smoothly.
Associating Rose's sword with Connie early on was a deliberate decision; they always wanted her to be the sword of the relationship, complement to Steven's shield.
The Gems treat Connie better than any other human and respect her as a member of the team.
The Gems talk to Connie's parents outside what we see on the show; they've been communicating with the Maheswarans a lot more since Connie decided to be upfront with them about her involvement with Steven.
The Cool Kids are partially based on Rebecca's college experiences when she joined a band. She was pseudonymously known as Rebecca Murder.
Lapis and Peridot making art in the barn was based on Rebecca's band member friends using a barn for their art.
Nanefua as Dewey's opponent was planned very early too. They always made sure to include her as a critical voice in the crowd when the town was gathering to react to his speeches.
The boardie character who's designed to look like Ian Jones-Quartey was originally going to be a pizza merchant named Everett, but they went from having a Pizza Man based on him to having a Pizza Family based on Ian's family.
There was also a boardie named Baby originally, and some ideas associated with him got rolled into Fryman family characters, especially Ronaldo.
Ian Jones-Quartey says if you are a fan of Steven Universe and you haven't read the book Keep Beach City Weird, you're doing yourself a disservice.
Grace Rolek and Zach Callison both felt that the Connie/Steven angst from "Dewey Wins" to "Kevin Party" carried an authentic sense of what it's like to have relationship drama. Both invoked their own breakups which were reminiscent of some aspects of those interactions.
Grace and Zach are pleased to be past their "teenage angst" phase now that they're both twenty. They’re glad to have just regular angst now.
Grace thinks Connie cut her hair to help move past the need to define herself entirely through her relationship with Steven; she needed a change and some definition as her own person.
Grace, in character as Connie, says her favorite subject in school is science so she might study gems when she grows up, she'd love to go on another adventure with the Crystal Temps as long as she doesn't have to imitate Steven, and being in a Fusion is weird but awesome--and she'd be Stevonnie's left arm because she's left-handed.
Next week: Lapis!

The detailed summary, including Rebecca and Ian discussing Connie’s characteristics and character design; discussions of early boardie character concepts; Grace and Zach discussing Connie's relationship with Steven and recent developments; and fan questions answered in character . . .

Read it all below!

Steven Universe Podcast: Volume 2, Episode 1: People and Places

A new season of the Steven Universe Podcast has launched January 25, 2018, and here is a recap of episode 1! The official description:

Rebecca Sugar and Ian Jones-Quartey join the "Steven Universe Podcast" to kick off Volume 2, which is dedicated to the people and places that make up the "Steven Universe" World! And starting things off, an in-depth look at the star of the animated series, Steven Universe. Rebecca and Ian reveal Steven's early incarnation, how his personality developed, and the big milestones they had planned for him since the series' inception. Plus, Zach Callison, who voices Steven, and Grace Rolek, who voices Steven's best friend, Connie, weigh-in on the characters' relationship, their favorite moments in the series, and the songs they love singing! And then Steven Universe himself stops by to answer a few fan questions!

Notes:

McKenzie's first guests are Rebecca Sugar and Ian Jones-Quartey. They begin with a discussion of how the show's Steven is related to his namesake, Rebecca's brother Steven Sugar: how is Steven Universe different and the same? Rebecca answers that one common thread is selflessness and ability to elevate others' moods--always putting himself second. Ian points out that goofy jokes, doing weird things, those came from Steven Sugar. Rebecca's brother is also HUGELY into puns, and cartoon Steven used to do a lot more puns than he does now, but he never did it as much as Steven Sugar.

McKenzie brings up how Steven has grown and changed since episode 1, and they discuss the silly meme associated with how far we've come since Steven was singing about ice cream.

Ian sort of disagrees with the meme even though he agrees it's funny, though; the conflict in "Gem Glow" was about worry surrounding whether he'd ever get his powers to work, and his identity and personhood was dependent on the answer to that question, so maybe it was darker than it seemed on the surface. Rebecca adds that in some of the original, earlier understandings of the episode, elements like "Steven sits on the beach and thinks about how he'll never know his mother" were included. He did have simpler problems then, of course, with more immediate consequences.

Ian describes a couple of "tent poles" for the show, and he says "Steven and the Stevens" was a turning point for Steven realizing he was annoying. Before that, he was a little kid who was always tagging along, and he thinks everyone is "annoying" as a kid because they don't truly realize other people have had different experiences. Rebecca agrees. Now that the Steven who realized that is actually poofed into nonexistence, the Steven who goes on from that has become less annoying. WHAT HAVE WE BECOME! Trivia: In the crowd of Stevens, they wanted to include one "pilot" style Steven, but it didn't get drawn. (The animation studio for that episode, Sunmin, didn't work on the pilot.)

The next "tent pole" is "The Test." He sees the Gems discussing him when he isn't there, and he realizes they don't know what they're doing--they don't really have a plan, and aren't all-knowing, and he has a responsibility to make them feel they're doing a good job. It's a revenge move, almost, says Rebecca, but not out of spite; he has an opportunity to keep them in the dark the way they've been doing to him, and he does it out of kindness. It's one of the most complex moments in the show. All the early episodes are what Ian and Rebecca call "softballs"--they were letting him tag along and testing him, and Steven was discovering the story behind aspects of his life, including monsters, the past, and what the Gems really are.

Rebecca says the next "tent pole" is "Marble Madness," which is where Steven takes the lead after he sees the Gems don't know what to do and are in over their heads, and of course "Jailbreak" is really big for him, but besides the obvious "Mindful Education," Rebecca points out that the arc is leading toward the huge events of "Are You My Dad?" and "I Am My Mom." Steven makes a decision on his own without their input, for better or for worse.

She backs up a bit and says "Warp Tour" is another big one, because he got really frustrated with the Gems for not believing him, and then "Steven's Dream" has him "cussing them out" for keeping him in the dark. Every once in a while you do see "moody teen Steven," where he's sick of the Gems keeping things back from him even though he's well aware they continue to do it. Rebecca points out that Steven's "brightness" is largely for the Gems--an act they need (and he needs too), which enhances the feeling that he doesn't know what's going on even when he does.

Zach Callison and Grace Rolek are the next guests. McKenzie focuses on their characters' musical roles and how in the recent arc of episodes there really weren't any songs. (I guess she doesn't count Sadie's performance during "Sadie Killer.") Zach says performing songs as Steven is the hardest part of the show for him. Zach likes to get a break from all the singing. Grace got a pretty big break from voice acting for Connie because of all the episodes where she was gone, so she didn't really know what had been going on, and there was no song recap to fill her in.

McKenzie points out that "Full Disclosure" had some parallels to the Reunited arc. Grace was so disappointed that the characters were avoiding each other again, and wished they'd just have clear communication. McKenzie jokingly sings a line from "Both of You" ("Why don't you talk to each other?"), and Zach comments about how it's his favorite Steven song. Beyond Steven songs, though, he loves "It's Over, Isn't It?" and he says he had to follow Deedee’s performance of it with his song at Comic Con. Grace was blown away too. They discuss how amazing Deedee Magno Hall is, and how she's humble and complains that she's sick or hasn't had tea, but then brings out beautiful music every time. Deedee also says stage fright never really goes away, and Zach agrees.

Grace says she also loves "It's Over, Isn't It?" but that she has the whole soundtrack on her Spotify and one time it played the "Jam Buds" song while Zach was in the car--after a Radiohead song or something. Total tone shift. Grace shares an anecdote of how her SU songs will come on when she's with friends and they think she's showing off that she's on a cartoon, but she just loves the music and thinks it's so wholesome. Zach hates hearing his songs and is always tempted to skip them unless he's in a critical mood. Grace's voice is lower than Connie's and she's not entirely happy with her vocal performance in "Do It For Her." Zach's voice is obviously WAY lower than Steven's, and singing as Steven requires a very big change for him along multiple axes.

Zach and Grace also agree that "Stronger Than You" is on the favorites list. Zach loves "Both of You" because he had finally learned to sing in the Steven voice. Previous songs were affected by his voice changes. Grace loved doing "Do It For Her" (to sing with Deedee!)--she had never sung in a recording booth before. She enjoyed that "Do It For Her" had so much emotional range in it; from "yay Connie's learning to sword-fight!" to "whoa, that programming is not healthy for a young human girl."

They begin to discuss the emotional roller coaster each episode can be, and Zach brings up the episode "Bismuth"--how it was so happy at the beginning and then it ends with a new team member trying to kill Steven. The fight scene was one of the freakiest for him. McKenzie adds that the music assists those ups and downs, and asks Zach and Grace whether they're hoping any particular musical genre gets performed on the show. Grace wants more rock, and Zach says he is doing rock music in his music career. He'd like to see some hip-hop combined with rock. Grace would love to see her rock interests blending with the Broadway influence, but mostly she just trusts everyone else's vision.

Fan Questions for Steven Universe:

McKenzie: Who is your favorite Crying Breakfast Friend?

Steven: I really like the Egg, 'cause he has a lot of emotional scenes, but he's also got this really good redemption arc thing going on in the storyline and I've been following that a lot lately.

McKenzie: The same question from about five different people on Twitter: Are you doing okay with recent events?

Steven: Uh, kind of. Yeah. It's better with Connie around. Thanks for asking.

McKenzie: What advice would you give someone who feels like they're less valuable than others in the group?

Steven: That's a good question. I used to feel less valuable in the Crystal Gems, than the other Gems, 'cause I didn't have powers and I thought that they didn't want me on missions, but everyone has a place, and sometimes it takes a long time to find yours, but if you keep moving forward you always will.

McKenzie: What kind of podcast would you make if you were gonna make a podcast?

Steven: Ooh, I've been planning this! I really wanna do a show or a podcast or something about rock bands from the eighties like my dad, because he's told me a lot of fun stories from back in the day, and they used to wear crazy clothes, and I could do my hair like them for the podcast.

McKenzie: You know that podcasts are just audio, so you don't have to, like, style your hair or anything.

Steven: Oh I wanted to get in character. You mean they don't even take pictures? Is that allowed?

McKenzie: I mean, that would be allowed, but--if you're gonna get in character, I can understand why that would be important.

Steven: I'll do the full wardrobe too.

Next Thursday, the podcast will take a closer look at Amethyst, with Michaela Dietz, Deedee Magno Hall, Rebecca Sugar, and Ian Jones-Quartey.

SDCC 2017 Zach Callison Interview

Rewind and Pause interviewed Zach Callison in this fifteen-minute interview. Here’s a sorta-transcript--not word for word, but basically what the questions are and how he answered, paraphrased.

Question: What inspired you to wear that today?

Zach: This is my style now. I'm getting into fashion and music, trying to create an aesthetic. My designer's father was the designer for Elvis.

Question: Over the series, Steven has grown up while maintaining innocence. How do you portray a character who's had to maintain innocence while dealing with all that horror around him?

Zach: His innocence is part of who he is. He'll always have childlike energy. He's happy-go-lucky. But the things that happen to him make him be tested, make him more serious, make him more practical. His arc is those two things fighting against each other. It's hard to maintain that balance.

Question: Because of all that change, is there something that you, as a voice actor, want for Steven at the end of this storyline? [Not sure I heard this right--it was noisy.]

Zach: I try not to do that as much. I don't even read the storyboards before the session because I like to discover it as I read. I want some closure for Steven, which is hard because no one knows, but they reach a point where there's only so much they can tell him. It's hard for him to process all the information about his mom and all the unknowns.

Question: There are a lot of episodes where Steven is narrating as it goes along because he might be the only speaking character on the screen for minutes as a time. How do you approach that to keep it interesting?

Zach: Expository dialogue is really hard to make legitimate and not explanatory. The writers keep it natural. I talk to myself a lot, he has liberty to do that as well. The show is called Steven Universe and it's always from his perspective, we ALWAYS see the show through his eyes. So the device of having him talk to himself helps. That's more justification for it, that and it being a kids' show. I didn't even realize it was a writing device until Rebecca explained it to me. Genius!

Question: You've been voicing Steven for four years--

Zach: Five years, since the pilot.

Question: So what's the most challenging thing about voicing Steven in Season 4?

Zach: My voice change has stabilized now, but it's still hard. I get sick a lot, so I have to take care of my voice a lot. It's easier now, and I spend so much time with him that it's second nature. New characters, I don't have that opportunity. It's more the physical limitations than mental or emotional.

Question: How has growing up with Steven changed you?

Zach: We've grown up together. It's affected that arc and my ability to relate to struggling with who you are, growing up with more responsibility on your shoulders. Rebecca said they want a real kid to play Steven, and that's a benefit. And it's opened so many doors for me, and it's an amazing opportunity to be around people who view art with a purpose. They care about their message and have passion. That experience has been formative for me.

Question: I wanna know what your favorite aspect of Steven is and what was your biggest shocking moment.

Zach: I love his sense of humor and that he always gives people a chance. Example: He's fighting Bismuth and he throws something at her while telling her to watch out. It's insightful to who he is as a person. Violence is the last resort. He tries to talk it out first. What shocked me the most was the whole Lars thing. I knew about it coming up, and then oh, that on screen, wow. It was very dramatic. It was a challenge to act. I call it actor candy. We get a lot of it.

Question: Like to kind of Jesus Lars back to life?

Zach: Jesus as a verb! It was really cool. Their relationship has been rocky. Steven wants to be his friend and Lars wasn't always there. I think this really cemented their friendship. I love anytime I get to work with Matt Moy and when they get to interact. It's an example of how sometimes he bridges the gap. Their relationship ended stronger.

Question: Do you have any Larses to whom you have been a Steven, and have you ever been a Lars to a Steven?

Zach: I've never resurrected someone from the dead. Not yet. There's a lot of life left to live, we'll see. I've had childhood friends trying to be cool and didn't want to hang out with a tiny kid that I was. (I didn't grow for a very long time.) It wasn't bullying, per se, but like "I wanna be cool and you're not cool so I don't wanna be around you."

Question: So you're quite a musician. Piano, dabbling in rock. Do you play any Steven music?

Zach: No, haven't learned any songs on instruments. I love doing covers, I took them down because I was very young. My friends called me "the Drops of Jupiter kid." I'm playing less than I should. It's been all about writing songs lately and trying to get them in the studio. I am dropping a single this fall ideally! Current plan. Start gigging and do what I love.

Question: Will you be doing it under your name?

Zach: Yes. I'll be playing as Zach Callison. I'll be hiring a band, it's rock music, I'll be playing the rock way, but I've done the actual band thing and it's impossible to keep together, so I decided to become a creative tyrant and take over the reins.

Question: Tell us about the Zach Callison show!

Zach: In the works. Sketch comedy show about making a sketch comedy show, very meta. We have digital shorts and a character development aspect. I'm teasing it on my social media. We're gonna go around pitching it.

Question: Music: have you talked to Rebecca, or Aivi & Surasshu about it?

Zach: Yes, I've sent to Rebecca for notes. Aivi hasn't heard my music, but she's been supportive.

Question: Steven has been working through the stages of grief on his mom, talk about that.

Zach: At first he just wanted to meet his mom, questions about who she was, and now he almost wishes he didn't know. He still doesn't know definitive answers about a lot of things. The Gems not giving him the truth really frustrated him.

Question: What will it take for him to forgive her?

Zach: I don't know the whole story. I don't know if he can at this point. Lots of things wouldn't be told to him. I'll have to find out eventually.

Question: You love the Cookie Cat rap, what else do you really love?

Zach: If you need a great actor, you've come to the right guy! And the Peter Pizzapopolous thing. Rebecca found out I speak Italian semi-fluently, so we've been working that in more. It's fun.

Question: Following up on Cookie Cat, it's predicted the whole show.

Zach: Some fans comment on that. I didn't even think, once I found out the Gems are aliens, I asked if that was intentional.

Question: People love the song, how do you feel about it being blown up?

Zach: Yeah, it's great, people request me to do it at cons all the time.

Question: Which of the relationships YOU have with Deedee, Michaela, or Estelle mirrors Steven's relationship with the respective Gem most?

Zach: All of them. From them to me and Grace, I always see us as really similar. The relationship between Deedee and me is like she's my second mom. She comes up before my mom in my phone because she's entered as Bird Mom. Michaela feels like a big sister. It's cool to have that dynamic.

Question: What can we look forward to in Season Five?

Zach: We showed some stuff in the panel. Lots of drama, but I can't say, I'm not qualified. It's a murder mystery coming, crazy story arcs we may or may not pursue, but I know too much and I've said too much.
