All right, Tara, in this one, Rocky's at a mountain top.
-
He gets swatted by the monster tail.
-
He falls, tumbles, and rolls, and falls off another ledge, falls another bunch of feet, and then crashes.
-
All right, um, watch my hands!
-
I'll watch you.
-
Here comes the--
-
(screaming)
-
(groaning)
-
Perfect.
-
Get that one.
-
My name is Tara Strong, and I'm mostly known for my animation career.
-
I'm the voice of Timmy Turner from "The Fairly OddParants."
-
I wish Cosmo and Wanda were here.
-
I was baby Dil.
-
Hey, that's my camera.
-
"Powerpuff Girls."
-
I'm just as tough as Blossom and Buttercup!
-
I'm hardcore.
-
Raven from "Teen Titans."
-
Azarath Metrion Zinthos!
-
Originally, I was Batgirl alongside Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy.
-
I've had a really fun career.
-
Man, that was one tough montage.
-
So, I knew Timmy had to be happy, mischievous, silly, kinda nerdy, oh, and very, very adventurous.
-
Sorry, I was just trying to help.
-
Bubbles had this weird way of pronouncing things, like, "Oh, I will have a pickie."
-
I don't know why it goes L-E like that, but.
-
Pooping.
-
The time I booked "Rugrats," I'd just got off a plane with a screaming baby and I'm like, "That's the cry that I'm doing in."
-
Most of Dil's lines were in the stage directions.
-
So, I'd be like, "Okay."
-
(babbling)
-
(groans)
-
(snorts)
-
And that was like my lines.
-
I remember at the session, we had to stop tape, and I'm thinking something's wrong,
-
and they said, "Tara, there's a new mom in the studio, "and you're making her lactate."
-
And you guys say I'm not funny.
-
But seriously, this will be extremely painful.
-
In the case of Raven, while I was doing the audition, it was similar to my own voice, and I thought just this idea to have this weird guttural roll every time she says anything.
-
As soon as I started doing this, I saw all the people in the booth kinda look at each other, and went, "That's Raven."
-
Robin, stop!
-
Batgirl was me.
-
Like, it's the only voice I do that's my own voice.
-
(Would it be possible to do the last bit as Batgirl?)
-
That was Batgirl.
-
Bullwinkle, it's like that classic story the Lion and the Mouse that we're ripping off.
-
When you're voice acting, you have to tap into the ability to make something believable without it being there.
-
It's a completely different art form than on camera.
-
You have to let the audience feel what it's like to fall off a cliff without there actually being a cliff there.
-
You gotta have to be willing to play around and not afraid to look silly.
-
And then, once you create a character, in my experience, they, like, live up in my brain, and they're just ready to come down when it's their turn.
-
So I don't confuse them.
-
They all are their own entity.
-
Basically, I'm a crazy person.
-
So I just need a long scream as you just keep going.
-
(screaming)
-
Hey!
-
Whoa!
-
What do you need at the store?
-
Garbage bags.
-
Ooh, yeah, yeah.
-
Fried chicken sounds great tonight.
