Often you come up with a new idea that no one had thought of. Is this what production is going to want that to sound like? And even with that, you’re sort of taking a shot in the dark. TS: When it’s less information it’s challenging, which is probably why I gave three different choices. She’s a nerd.” What are they telling you and how do you know what to aim for, voice-wise? But suddenly she’s a hologram and what else can she do? It leaves everybody wondering, including myself.ĪVC: When a casting agent or show gives you the bare minimum description of what they’re looking for, what are you actually getting? Like, “She’s female. Miss Minutes falls right into that category where she is animated as sort of this old-timey animation exposition character. The whole show is this beautiful juxtaposition of old technology and new technology and old style with very modern situations. I think they chose the accent because you have this character that’s delivering exposition like, “If you don’t behave, you will die,” but there’s this very sweet tone, like “Y’all come back now you hear?” and “Don’t hesitate to let us know how we’re doing!” Then I laid down one that was in between that and my voice, and then one with an accent. I laid down three different voices, one of them being sort of more Siri-esque. I remember calling my agent saying, “Who is she? Is she sentient, is she this, is she that?” and they said, “We don’t really know.” With Loki, there was very few sides, very little character description, and certainly no show bible. It was a departure for me, too, because typically my on-camera roles are “cute teacher” or “fun mom.” Voiceover wise, certainly I’ve played a very wide range of characters, but on camera, there hasn’t been something that I could really sink my teeth into from an acting standpoint. Everybody wants to be the bad guy and to play this very layered character that would do anything for her children and also rises from under the thumb of misogynists into her own power, so that was so rewarding. My voiceover agent said, “everything’s shut down here and you can work from home, so go.” Even though it was challenging, it worked out for me timewise to go to Toronto and shoot this show, which was an extraordinary experience. Eventually, they texted me to say that they were going to start shooting, and I was like, “really?” Because it was COVID, I got to bring my kids because everything was shut down. So I was completely intrigued by everything surrounding this show.Īnd then everything shut down because of COVID. This show is a powerhouse, and it’s really rooted in women having power and taking their power back. We were all talking about our experiences being phoenixes rising, and coming out from under the shell of a misogynist.
