Didn't quite catch that. - I'm hardcore. - Hi Vanity Fair, I'm Tara Strong. I'm an actress mostly known for my animated voiceover roles, like Timmy Turner from the Fairly OddParents, Bubbles from the Powerpuff Girls, Twilight Sparkle from My Little Pony, Raven from Teen Titans and Harley Quinn from the DC Universe and today we're gonna hear some people do impressions of my characters. ♪ Obtuse, rubber goose, green moose, guava juice ♪ ♪ Giant snake, birthday cake, large fries, chocolate shake ♪ ♪ Obtuse, rubber goose, green moose, guava juice, ♪ ♪ Giant snake, birthday cake, large fries, chocolate shake ♪ - So that's Megan, she's awesome. I've met her. I let her do her Timmy impersonation in this studio. We shot a little vine video together. - Hi, Timmy Turner. - What are you doing? - Nothing. - I'm Timmy Turner. She's adorable and she's so brilliant and she's probably one day gonna take all my jobs. That impression was pretty close to perfect. I would just say she could go a little bit deeper in her register, 'cause I still hear like a little girly in her voice, but it's not something she can't do. Like if she did that again right now and I said, "Go a little deeper." She could do it. So she's gunning for me, I see you Megan. It's just that in this particular impression, she's thinking a little bit too young and she's doing like a little ♪ Obtuse, rubber goose ♪ It's just a little bit younger, she could probably do a bang on like, baby deal or a young Timmy, but for the Fairly OddParents Timmy still has to sound like a 10 year old boy. So instead of going too cutesy, you think teenage boy. ♪ Obtuse, rubber goose, green moose, guava juice ♪ Get little girl gestures and thought processes out of your mind and really become a little boy. When you think too cutesy, it puts you in that different register, where you can kind of break off into girl territory and we definitely need to know that Timmy is a boy that makes a lot of mistakes like boys do. I wish I was inside the internet. ♪ Obtuse, rubber goose, green moose, guava juice ♪ ♪ Giant snake, birthday cake, large fries, chocolate shake ♪ - I don't believe in luck, but I do subscribe to the theory of horribly inconvenient coincidences. I wish I could go inside the internet. - Maddie, what a great job. She sounds a lot like Timmy Turner, I would say her only flaw was the same as Megan's where it still sounds like a little girl. She rushed it a little bit. So I think if she slowed down and just went a little bit lower in her register and add a little bit more rasp. Timmy has a little bit more rasp than she did in that last impression. When you watch her you can see that she's into it. But she's thinking more of the voice. I want her to think more of the moments. When you think of the Fairly OddParents theme song and you think ♪ Obtuse, rubber goose, green moose, guava juice ♪ Wow, picture all those things. Each word is important. Each syllable in animation is important. And she can get there too. If she was in my studio I'd have her there like that. She's gunning for me too, I can see. He's not stupid, he's my friend and I should have treated him better. - He's not stupid, he's my friend and I should have treated him better. - So she also sounds a lot like Timmy Turner, all these people are so close, I'm so touched that it's inspired all these people to do impressions. She's actually too pinched, too high. So I would say to in her case, relax the rasp a little bit. When you do Timmy Turner, you are pinching your vocal cords, you need to make that raspy sound. But she's doing it so much that it's up here a little bit too much. So again, she's gotta lower her pitch a little bit. There's a rhythm to how boys talk. So she's going a little bit too fast. She needs to slow it down and have a little more highs and lows and not just all appear really fast. And maybe it's a challenge of someone doing something for YouTube as opposed to being in an actual studio and visualizing all those moments. Because if she really took the time to think about those moments, I shouldn't have done that almost act it like you're acting on camera. He was my friend, and that will bring you into those boy moments instead of sort of looking in the camera and saying, "He was my friend, I should have done this." He was my friend, I should have done that. Even if you're speaking higher or faster, if you're imagining those moments, they're gonna translate more and they're gonna get you more into that pocket. So I think the people doing impressions and it may be they're not imagining they're in each of these animated worlds. I'm just as tough as Blossom and Buttercup. I can handle the rough stuff too. - I'm tough, I'm just as tough as they are, I'm hardcore. Hi, I'm Bubbles from the Powerpuff Girls. [indistinct] She's talking to squirrels again. - Oh, my gosh, she's so cute. That is a great Bubbles. It sounds just like her totally. I would say again for her to slow down the acting beats. Bubbles has this funny thing where she pronounces words funny, like picky. So when she's like, I'm just as tough as Blossom or, she needs to slow it down. I'm just as tough as Blossom and Buttercup. Buttercup, see how it got a little bit weird where I put the T. There's little like weird inflections that Bubbles has that would get her from her pretty awesome impression to even greater. So slow it down, imagine all the moments, take every syllable. I'm just as tough as Blossom and Buttercup, I'm hardcore. Even though Bubble's voice lives in a high register, she drops down from it periodically. So that would help to capture her musicality if she didn't always stay up high all the time and she came down a little bit I think it would sound even better, but that's pretty darn close. I'm just as tough and strong and mean as Buttercup and Blossom and I'll prove that I can be hardcore. - I'm just as tough and mean as Blossom and Buttercup, I'm hardcore. - She's great too, it's pretty close too. The only thing I can see she's doing with her mouth is she's making her a little too babyish. Even though Bubbles is super cute, she almost has to fight the baby. It's almost like you can't play her too cutesy or it doesn't work, you almost have to play against the cutesy with a cute sound if that makes any sense. So instead of thinking like this, if you're thinking like
