After putting on his Ross-esque outfit in the dressing room, styling his hair in the mirror and heading to the set, Odunze immediately began rehearsing his lines.
"Can someone pull up some Bob for me so I can hear his cadence," Odunze asked, "see how he did the intro? He's just soft spoken, right?"
As the shoot began, Odunze consistently asked for coaching points and watched each take as if he was in the film room with coach Ben Johnson. Throughout the filming process, the Bears' content team helped him make small tweaks to his tone, smile, cadence and stance to ensure the best possible takes.
"How was that?" Odunze asked the room after the first scene. "Feedback, feedback. Coaching, coaching? Little slower?"
"Try your best to see if you can add that smile when you're speaking. Let's see if it comes out a little warmer," manager of production & special projects Chris Yankton replied.
