That's great Brian. Nice straight ahead voice for Stephen with his personality, and I can't get enough of Palpatine. Did you record both characters separately, with live voice? Hopefully I'll be able to make it to the Great Lakes Puppet Fest in Indiana for your presentation!

Ditto on what Kevin the Frog sed! U got some skills, man! Keep up the good woik!

Thanks!

I recorded them separately, as I perform both characters myself. I recorded the audio, then played it on a loop, and lip synched the performances, to make sure the timing was right. That made it easy to synch the video, as well, because I knew that if I synched them up at the very beginning (matching the audio, which I had playing loud enough for the camera's mic to pick up) it would stay synched the whole way through.
