Awwww. It's an honor. It can make you feel somewhat old if someone says "Oh, you're my childhood!" and they're like 24 year old adults. But it's totally flattering. And I feel like I did a pretty good job, because most of the people that I've met who say that I'm their childhood are really great people.
I've also ruined some people's childhoods - when I meet them, and say something gross or inappropriate, and people say "Oh my god! You just ruined my childhood!"
I was Emily Elizabeth on CLIFFORD THE BIG RED DOG and when you hear her swear for the first time online - it kind of messes with some people.

1.) I really love the Katara character. I actually got to play the actress playing Katara in the series - they did a play within the series, and they had me play that role -but Mae Whitman really does such an incredible job. But if anything ever happened to Mae, I'd steal that role in a heartbeat.
2.) Well, a lot of people don't know that when I did that Agni Kai last fight, I did it completely by myself. I was in the booth completely alone, and I got completely decimated, but I was in tears, in the booth, by myself, acting all alone! A lot of people don't know that. It was a very emotional scene and I had nobody to play off of.
3.) She'd be sitting on that damn throne by the end. EVERYBODY knows that. There's a great photo that an artist did on Tumblr of that - I tweeted it a long time ago - it says "I win!" So if you want to see that, you can look it up!

1.) I always wanted to do Snow White! Snow White's my favorite Disney movie, and my favorite Disney character, and I got really close on the soundalike for it, but I ultimately didn't make it, but that was a total dream for me to be Snow White.
2.) My own voice. My absolute OWN voice. I think everybody has that same syndrome - where you hear yourself and you're like "Who's that horrible person reading a message!" And then you find out it's you. When they ask me to do my own voice, I don't even know what that is! Sometimes they've asked me that - "just talk like yourself" - and then I have to pause to think about what I sound like. But yea, that's the one I can't stand the most, is my own voice!
3.) I never practice. I feel like I'm a really bad example, because I don't do voice exercises, I don't avoid certain foods before I record... I just kinda go in there and do it! And I don't usually need a voice reference, it's just all somewhere catalogued in my head. I do try to watch as much popular shows so that when they throw out a reference at an audition, I know what they're talking about. I tend to get lost in old movies and stuff, so a lot of times my references aren't what other people's are, so I have to force myself to watch things like Keeping Up with the Kardashians - because I did an episode of THE BOONDOCKS recently where they wanted me to sound like a Kardashian cousin. And that was the most sacrifice I've done for my art, was to be miserable for 30 minutes.

Well, I know we talk about Azula all the time, but she's the star of the show! One of the best written female characters in all of animation history, I think. And so I was just so honored I was able to play her - she's so complex, so deep, she breaks a lot of female stereotypes, and she's a total badass.
I would say "Azula has huge balls" but I don't want to get in trouble with the tumblr-people.
I love Vicky's "GOTOBED,TWERP!"
I like to yell at that my son sometimes. He doesn't know what I'm talking about, but I do.

HAHAHA!
I don't do it to my family, because they're so "over" me?
Sometimes I go out in life- there's a guy who works at my Coffee Bean, and he's a big Avatar fan, and I'll order my drink in my Azula voice!
Sometimes if I hear people talking about the show - I was in a line at Best Buy, and I heard people talking about AVATAR, and I spoke in the voice then too! Sometimes it's fun to freak people out, now and then.
