Review Text:
Scenes from the Daws Butler Workshop, is a voice actors delight.
Perhaps because much of the cartoon characters in episodes 13 and 14 are closer to my contemporary experience, I found this radio-documentary both educational, delightful and thoroughly engaging. June Foray, Stan Freberg and Daws Butler re-living the fun, playful moments which created cartoon classics, as well as opening the experience for the listener to discover how these character voices were created. Inversely, I found the acting from the earlier episodes (circa 1940's) slightly less compelling: partially due to the flat female voice actors abilities.
This may be contributed to the era's styling, or to the lack of direction given the female voice actor. Regardless, Joe transports us into the "secret" world of the voice-over genre.

Notes to Producer:
I was just thrilled to listen to Daw's excited spirit. Very contagious. Reminds me of my colleague/ friend, John W. Galt. This was a real delight, Joe. Thank you.
