According to Martinee, it was Mario's audition that she was invited to accept it from a friend. When I arrived at the audition site, I heard that they were asked to be able to receive the audition anyhow, as the equipment began to be cleaned up. Judges asked me to play the voice of the character of Nintendo's game, the character is a plumber of Italy who lives in Brooklyn, and he instantly plays with Mario's voice color and tone and plays it on the spot "OK, I will contact you again" I was told. However, the judge who got out from the venue heard that he was talking about "Mario was found! It is this man only Mario!" On the phone. Of course the result passed.
