HE HIRED AN ORCHESTRA. FOR HIS AUDITION.

That's next level commitment.

"We're making a crowdfunded M-Rated cartoon based on a D&D campaign. Yes, that is the bagpipe guy from Braveheart and Titanic why do you ask?"

[Byrdman]

Sam: "We decided to make them completely original."

What he means: "Legal said we had to make them original."

[jackdog]

Imagine just being like:
"So I hired an orchestra"

[Dudae_]

Man after listening to that orchestral rendition of Your Turn to Roll I already KNOW the "Briarwoods' Theme" is going to be amazing and provide even more goosebumps!

[FeraMind]

The tune that started as a song that Sam hummed into his phone recorder is being played by an actual orchestra, i can only imagine how awesome that must feel.

Laura: "They have no right to be that good"

Sam: "And Scanlan took that personally"

Edit: holy crap, I did not expect this many likes on this comment!

"Scanlan opened the pandora's box"

A very Scanlan thing to do.

[chnzn]

"Vox Machina... a combination of classic fantasy and slapdickery."

There's the tee shirt.

Laura: "They have no right to be that good" "you want them to be stupid because ... Scanlan." Priceless

I hope we eventually see an episode about this series called "The Legend of The Legend of The Legend of Vox Machina"

[PhoenixAgent]

I fucking *love* when shows constantly reuses the motifs from the theme in like, a slow sad version, and a fast, action-y version, and a big epic version…ugh, I’m so excited for this it hurts.

[themurc]

Somehow I had not considered Scanlan’s music in the creation of this show… and now I know for sure that this will be for watching after my kids go to bed 😂

[Phandelver]

"It rhymes"
"And it's dirty"
Man Sam is a treasure

[adragon]

I’m really looking forward to “No Mercy Percy” theme. Imagine how hard that classical is gonna go.

[tinaguo]

YAY! So exciting and was so much fun recording for the soundtrack. Thanks Neal!

[SeattleFira]

He scored the show… before the show. *goosebumps

[TheIrishloon]

Man, that French horn on the second “YOUR TURN…..”, and then OMG the high trumpet on the FINAL one. That’s goosebumps.

[jacobrobinson]

4:25 Fun Fact: Tina Guo is the electric cello from the Wonder Woman theme in the movies.

In other words, she's such a good musician that she gets hired by hollywood blockbusters to play music that millions of people will hear. That's the quality that's going into this series.

There aren't enough fire emoji's to describe my feeling right now! So stoked to see how this turns out!
