A mix of lip sync and characters interpreted in a more traditional way, well-known surprise guests and a plot with journalistic accents bridging viral videos: web comedy On the trailby Ariel Charest, promises to be a blast.
Ariel Charest is known for her humorous videos in which she makes hilarious lip sync on audio excerpts from people known or who have made the headlines in Quebec.
The clips, mostly designed during the pandemic to make her friends laugh, were so successful that with ComediHa!, the actress by training had the idea of taking them up to make a crazy web series.
On the trail will combine her talent as an actress and performer less known (she will interpret various characters and we will finally hear her real voice) and the lip sync who made his reputation.
“I play a great investigative journalist, very bloody, who decides to return to the fold in Quebec to take an interest in what is hidden behind the viral videos [sic] », Explains the one who graduated from the Conservatory in 2014.
In all directions
The ten episodes — lasting 10 to 12 minutes each — “will go all over the place.” “The idea was to combine the narrative form and the lip-sync. The story of each episode will revolve around a cult moment known in Quebec. We sometimes stay close to the story and sometimes not at all. »
Two acolytes will play interns abused by the journalist. It is this trio that people will follow through the storylines of each episode of On the trail. Guest artists will also make appearances in certain episodes, including Joël Legendre and comedian Guillaume Lambert.
The 32-year-old actress talks about 2.0 videos of the stories of “Hélène and the gummy bears”, “Yolande and the little bums”, “the black turkey”, “the wokes”, Double occupation and the Canadian evening.
“There is something for all tastes and all generations. We’ve had all the creative space, so it’s going to be as saucy and popping as the videos I’m already doing. »
