Twelve Voices For The Holidays (2025) Directed & Produced by Candice N. Santora & #GarryChalk. Music by Garry Chalk. Created by Candice N. Santora. Performed by Garry Chalk, the voice of #OptimusPrimal on #BeastWars and #BeastMachines #Transformers, as well as #OptimusPrime in the #UnicronTrilogy (#Armada, #Cybertron, #Energon).

We took the 12 Days of Christmas and used several of Garry's characters he has portrayed to sing the verses; from older characters he voiced many years ago to a couple more recent ones. I printed the lyrics for Garry and asked him to improvise or add in quotes from his characters as he sang them. This was not a simple task which is why I didn't bother changing the lyrics this time. I tried matching most of the characters with the lyrics I thought best fit them and their personalities, and I deliberately chose Metal-Head for the first day because it's so outrageous. The ensemble of voices at the end of the song was Garry's idea. We recorded each one separately and combined them for a chorus.
