Having having a little bit more of what the character tends Thio do helps to inform kind of be the kind of the design of the character.

My name is Erin Fitzgerald.

I'm a character actor for cartoons and video games.

I guess people know me more from, Like, Edit and Eddie Monster High ever after High asked the story bots, World of Warcraft league legends, persona for a lot on Aaron.

You did.

You did such a great job of just bringing the character toe life through the fun fax.

And it was just a funny voice.

But you were acting the whole time you were in character the whole time.

That's because she's really because court is a real person and a real octopus, because that's how score lives all the time.

So weird seeing your face and then hearing the voice.

I think that nobody should see the faces because that is more believing.

And then you believe I think that's absolutely true when it comes to Kevin.
