Excerpts from the conversation:
While growing up, what were some voiceovers that left an influence on you?
When I was a child I used to love The Littles. It was a Saturday afternoon cartoon. Smurfs, those voices left an impression on me. When I got older, animation got a little better. I remember Ursula from The Little Mermaid and I loved that voice and characterisation. So yes, lots of voices that I loved growing up.
While doing the voiceover for your character Zee, what did you discover about yourself?
That is an interesting question. Because when you are in the moment, you are not thinking and you are working. One of the things that we did was, this character was developed between myself, the director and the producer since they have done many of these movies. They were guiding me and we were finding things together. What is surprising is when I saw the film, I saw everything that they put together and sometimes I was like ‘Oh my God! It is me and it didn’t even sound like me. I did it! I did the character!’ I think the finished product was what surprised me and in such a great way that I was able to bring this character to life with the Ice Age team.
