Interviews Conducted by Robert J. Beck

Are you back for series two? Have you started recording yet? If so

 could you tease us with a few lines?

I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you. (wink) :-)
 
Your voice as Emma Frost has gone down very well with the fans, did
 you feel any pressure on getting it right?

I am so glad to hear that! I felt a lot of pressure, mostly because I'm
such a big X-Men fan myself, and I wanted to do it justice!

You voice the recurring role as Charmcaster in Ben 10. Did you always
know this role was recurring?

No, they hinted that she might come back, but you never know...she was a great character, so I'm glad they used her in a number of episodes.

In the Legion of Super-Heroes you voice Saturn Girl and Triplicate Girl. Did you read any of the Legion of Super-Heroes comics for these parts?

I wasn't as familiar with "Legion of Super-heroes" when I booked the job, so I read a lot of graphic novels and comics before we started recording. Secretly, how awesome is it to have to read comics for "research?" My inner geek was thrilled!

In the Legion of Super-Heroes you also voice several smaller parts. Is it normal that then you voice a member of the main cast you are asked to do smaller bits as well?

It's normal to fill in as smaller parts here and there, but I was surprised and thrilled that they used me so much--I had no idea that I'd get to do Shrinking Violet and Infectious Lass and other parts like that...it was a great challenge!

In Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds you are the voice of Willow Rosenberg. When voicing someone that already has a strongly established voice do you find it harder having less freedom?

Voice-matching is a whole different realm of voiceover work...I know people who are brilliant at it! I just try to do my best and study as much as I can beforehand.

You have also done some film work; does the process of recording this work any differently from your normal work?

If you mean voiceovers on films like "BOLT", the major difference is the time frame involved...you may come back in months later for pickups or rewrites, while the turnaround in TV animation is much faster. On-camera film acting is different from voiceover in that you may wait around for six hours before doing 15 minutes of actual acting...with voiceover, you usually get in and do your job and get out!
