I am Polly Lou Livingston, voice actress of Tree Trunks on Adventure Time. AMA!

How good is your apple pie...for real?

Finn and Jake, you know, they take care of me, and that's who I made the apple pie for. For REAL, Finn and Jake said they love me because my apple pie was the best apple pie in the universe.

How do you feel about TT's innuendo-filled dialogue?

I don't even know what that means. (After explaining) It's fabulous.

Yes it is, Polly Lou. Yes it is.

She gasped and said she hopes this isn't her children.

Other than TT, who is your favourite character in Adventure Time?

The pig. That's my husband.

Is the voice of TT your normal speaking voice , and if so do people recognize your voice as Tree Trunks when your in your everyday life like at the grocery store or the bank?

Yes. Every place. Especially at the mall and my butcher's at the grocery store.

Hello! I was wondering if your voice talent was recognized through you being friends with Bettie Ward (Pen's mother), and that's how you got to be the voice of Tree Trunks on the show? Thanks in advance!

No, but I knew Pen when he was in high school and I met him through his mama. But he was the one who called me 20 years later and remembered my voice.

How are the other actors off-set? Is it a fun show to work on?

They're wonderful to work with. I do it from San Antonio, Texas and they're in Hollywood, but we work together through technology. I talk to a machine and it goes to Hollywood and they direct me from Hollywood in a studio in San Antonio through earphones. So I do not know any of the characters personally. I can't hear what everyone else is saying, I only say my part from the script and they put it together with pictures.

I'm making pasta tonight, but I can't decide on a tomato based pasta sauce or an alfredo. Which would you do?

I'm making penne noodles and throwing in some fresh veggies, if that sways it one way or another.

Alfredo. There's no question.

As someone who has never seen the show, can you explain your character in a few words?

Tree Trunks is a little green elephant who is in loveee with the pig, and you don't have to watch it to see how we're sooo in love. (Finn says I have hot buns.) And we just had a baby named Sweet Pea, so please watch!

Elephant and Pig love is the best type.

(Laughs.) That's funny. Pig love...(laughs more).

Other than Mr. Pig and Sweet Pea, which "Adventure Time" character do you think Tree Trunks would like to hang out with?

I'm not scared when I'm with Finn and Jake because they take care of me, and they're so much fun.

Does it shock you that a lot of your audience are young adults?

No. It is for young adults. Not too young.

I didn't realise it was made for that demographic, my 6 year old brother loves it to bits.

(She wants to know his name, so she can respond with a hello to him.)

His name's Angus, he probably won't understand how cool this is though :)

Hello Angus, this is Tree Trunk. Keep watching me! I'll be thinking of you~! (:

How many takes do you have to do for Tree Trunks? The way she speaks is just so amazing and natural :)

Well it is natural. There are very few takes.

Did you have any input into what Tree Trunks looks like?

No. She was born that way.

Does Polly and Tree Trunk share any common traits or interests?

Tree Trunks and I loooveeee to be in love.

How do you think tree trunks feels about her son previously being a villain intent on destroying all life?

(Gasps.) Weird. But I still love Sweet P.

How did you get into voice acting? I am trying to break my way in but jobs are few and far between. Should I look into getting an agent or just go it alone?

I was asked to do it by an old friend that originated the cartoon. Get an agent (or a friend). :)

What's your favourite pizza? Adventure Time rules!

I don't like pizza. Sorrrry~! Tree Trunks says peanut pizza, though.

What adventure would you like to see TT embark on?

I'm gonna have to think about that. (thinks deeply.) I'd like to go on a vacation to the elephant sanctuary with the pig and have someone babysit with Sweet Pea. We're tired.

Are there any exciting episodes featuring your voice coming up? :)

Yes.

Do you wish you had been able to watch Adventure Time when you were a child?

I was always scared of scary things.

Without spoiling anything of course, will we see something happen with Sweet P in the near future? Inevitable evil right there

I can't tell, it's a secret. (whispers to us secretly.) Because I really don't know. (Normal voice) Just keep watching! ;)

I waited all day for this and then I fell asleep I hope I'm not too late. Firstly I'd just like to say that you are my #1 favourite character :) treetrunks' cheerful and innocent attitude is just so cute!

So, my question. Which scene or episode that treetrunks is in would you say is your most favourite?

Thanks! ❤️

When I baked the apple pie for Finn and Jake. And the next favorite is when the pig and I sing love songs to each other in the flower bed. (You like the word bed, don't you?)

How has being a part of one of the most popular cartoons today changed your life?

It's absolutely made my life. I'm famous now. I love being famous. A lot.

Is that Texas accent yours, or TT's? And when you guys record the episodes, are you alone or does the whole crew do it at the same time and play off each other?

I'm Tree Trunks, so it's both of ours. ;)

Other question already answered here: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/36jjc1/i_am_polly_lou_livingston_voice_actress_of_tree/crej9ks

Hello, there! What's something you like to go with your tea?

Huh... Now wait just a minute... (She wasn't sure how you knew she liked tea, so I had to explain. Ha.) Cake and cookies and peanuts and candy.

Where do you hope for Lucky to go if she leaves San Antonio?

I talked to Lucky and she wants to go so bad to The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee. She's lonesome and wants to go real bad. ~Tree Trunks (and Polly Lou)

Can't even begin to imagine what a tough life Lucky has had stuck in that enclosure there.

That's true and be sure to tell all your friends about it. (You can watch this video to learn more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cS6ScExaMNQ)

if you could voice another character on Adventure Time who would you voice?

I like me best. ;)

Just curious as to what your set up is when you record yourself. Program? Mic? etc...

Earphones and microphone in a studio in San Antonio, Texas, directed by people in Hollywood.

What other animated shows do you like?

Mickey Mouse.

Hey Tree Trunks i just wanna say ilove Adventure Time and i love you! You and Mr. pig take Care of Sweet P and always stay cute!!

So the question for tree trunks whats the best soup that you could recommend?

And for mspolly, how do you deal with the fame of being the voice for The cutest elephant in history?

Peanut soup! (From Tree Trunks)

I love it more than aaaaanything in the wholeee world. (From Polly Lou).

Which Tree Trunks episode is your favorite?

We just had this question answered a few comments up! (:

Ooops, I didn't think that comment would be posted so fast before me. Anyway; if Sweet P had never been dropped off at Tree Trunks and Mr. Pigs' home, would Tree Trunks really go through with the divorce?

Sorry, that's just too personal. ;)

Also, @TreeTrunks, what was it like being Quartzion the Crystal Queen?

It was scary fun!

But why Male Models?

Say what?
