![]() It reminded me about a very important lesson about finding your voice: the message must reflect who you are! Big’s daughter, and no, they aren’t moles, they are arctic shrews.įru Fru originally voiced by Leah Latham and according to the Internet, “she’s spunky, spoiled, sassy, sweet, kind, gentle, good-hearted, caring.” We watch the scenes we could choose from and I chose to be Fru Fru! If you’ve seen Zootopia, you’ll surely remember Fru Fru! She’s tiny and has black hair like I do, with a much better sense of style. So we can take and put your voices in and then you will see yourselves in the animated form.” Where we can take out one actor’s performance and put in somebody else. “We have an opportunity to go through a process called ADR, which is Automated Dialogue Replacement. Paul Mcgrath explained to us that we would get in pairs, go into the sound booth, read a line from the movie, and then he would do some ADR magic on the scene. ![]() I was amazed to find out that many of the Zootopia – and most major animated films – voice acting happened in that very studio I was standing on… well, eventually I did sit on a very comfy couch with some beautiful blogging ladies. It takes some effort and you gotta be up for the challenge without judging yourself too much. So you have to focus all the characterization in the voice to make it work, and it’s a fun challenge.” You don’t have your hands, you don’t have your face, you don’t have your body to act with. Raymond Persi had given us some advice about voice acting: You know, judging myself, instead of just having fun with it. I was a bit nervous because I didn’t think I was too gifted at interviewing Flash, and I really wanted to get this right. We were welcomed into the studio by Paul McGrath, who is a dialogue mixer for Disney Toon Studios, someone who actually assembles, synchronizes, and edits all the dialogue in a film production. It was also a very reflective experience because I kept thinking about what it means to lend your voice for something impactful, very much like the themes that are talked about in Zootopia about overcoming stereotypes and teaching our kids about bias in a diverse world. ![]() I am still pinching myself because I’ve always wondered about voice acting and acting in general was a passion that, like drawing, hadn’t led anywhere until my latest visit to Disney Toon Studios, courtesy of Disney. With the In-Home Release of Zootopia, I had the incredible experience to actually be a voice over actor for an original Disney character. I often find myself singing that old Julio Iglesias song: “I’ve stumbled again… and with the same stone!” ![]() I’ve fallen in that trap many times, and there’s a side of me that wants you to believe I’m evolved and I learn from each of my mistakes, but the part of me that values integrity wants to tell you that’s not the case. ![]() Unfortunately, with so many voices out there, it is confusing to really listen to the voice within and understand our potential, let alone our own identity. It’s an interesting sort of code that is complex to decipher. My theory is that your voice is like the intersection of all the parts that make up who you are: what you’re passionate about, the people that you love, your past struggles and successes, the activities you enjoy, the jobs you do well, and what you feel your legacy will be after your body, as you know it, is gone. I believe everyone has an authentic voice, and I believe that your unique voice can bring you joy in your life as a woman, peace and sanity as a mom, and meaning to the work artyou are meant to create in this planet. ![]()
