The awkward workplace conversation. The stone cold in-laws. The unromantic first date. The near naked change room incident. The uncooperative body part. Writers can dream of these things, but we can’t do it alone. Writers and producers need performers to bring these things to life and to be that voice of our gallows humour scenarios, our out of control escalating situations and ill-timed medical issues on public
transport.
To state the obvious, writing is one part, performance is the other. And for Scout it’s none other than Edan Lacy. Edan is the very best at what he does. Training with the best, winning everything that’s possible on the improv circuit and now teaching others, Edan is your performance partner once you’ve written that comedic moment at the car yard, doctor’s clinic, family barbeque or from a safe distance narrating the unfolding and unstoppable catastrophe that couldn’t get any worse but somehow manages to do just that. I can almost hear a collective sigh of writing relief from creative writers and audio producers knowing their words are in safe hands, coming out of Edan’s multi-function mouth, that’s
connected to a brain and personality that’s probably best not to go into. Even in the voice over world, somethings are best left as a marvellous mystery. Behind his eyes is a place of wonder and danger.
But if your writing doesn’t have room for, or time for, implied action that performance requires, Edan still sounds funny. His voice can deliver that key phrase as an off-to-the-side comment. That sentence once forgettably bright and cheery, is now full of dead pan, mic drop sarcasm. Or the often heard, ‘we don’t have a lot of time with this one’ but pretend you are on a roof/down a hole/in the rain/at home/running late etc etc. All are within his reach. For a full list of Edan’s acting, directing and improvisational credits Scout is more than happy to provide.
