How do you bring animated characters to life?
Let’s clear something up real quick: It’s not the voice. It’s the why behind the voice. Lots of actors can SOUND the same. Only one FEELS alive. 🎭 Character lives in the details: • Motivation — what do they want right now? • Who are they talking to? • Quirks — the oddly specific stuff • Emotional truth — even comedy needs it • Subtlety — the pause, the breath, the choice you don’t overplay 🐱 Hello kittie moment: Hello Kitty doesn’t even talk… and yet she has more personality than half the auditions out there. 😌 Why? Intention. Presence. Emotional clarity. (If Hello Kitty did have a voice, you know she’d have boundaries & inflection and personality & an objective.) 🎭 Character Lab: Share ONE character you’ve voiced (or are building) and ONE intentional choice you made that gave them LIFE! Maybe it was: • A flaw you leaned into • A disease or speech impediment • A personal reference you emulated • A moment you did less and it finally worked No flexing. No gatekeeping. This space is about process over perfection. Let’s borrow each other’s magic and build better characters together. 👇 Drop your story below. Hear kittie kittie. 🐾🎧

Sometimes I create original characters and sometimes I'll practice impressions of characters to help influence another character's style. Its my personal exercise that helps me with consistency of holding a voice together. 😅 Thats tough for me sometimes. For example, I recently did a video where I drew Pennywise and drooled while recording because I stretched my jaws wide while speaking. I took pauses and stopped sharp on certain words to get closer to the original creepiness of his voice. I cut the part of the video where I sounded more like Jim Carey's Grinch lol. On the other hand, when I was creating a voice for an original character of mine, I drew a small mushroom wizard who has a temper towards people dumping in the forests. I shrank my voice and aged him to sound small and full of wisdom. I made him go from murdering to yelling and fighting. He talks a little tough but he shows he's playful and cares about nature, in the way his tone softens.

It feels good to slip into a different voice honestly. Sounds different, yes. Its like flexing what your voice can do and then it adds a nice confidence boost that keeps you in the head space of "yes I can figure this out". I also want to help create projects that inspire good things for those watching. Some of the best quotes ive memorized have inspired me as an actor and artist.

Okay SoufEa! Hello, my name is Danielle but I go by Dani T as a creative. I'm an artist, author, voice actor and community head from West Baltimore! I was sent an invite link for another skool community for business. This is where I'd rather be in honesty. I've been running my business since college 2016 and my passion is in storytelling and characters. Im working on creating my own animation studio as we speak. I've done 3 side roles paid/credited this year but want to do better this coming year. I naturally have the "sexy villainess" voice (like black Laura Bailey) but I try to play into and off tilt from my every day voice. I want to play a villain or old sorcerer in an animation or game. I find that building up and yelling long named spells can help bring out the character's style more. And sci-fi/fae based words are fun to help build. Its exciting to be apart of a community of other voices that you may find yourself working with in the future. Let's all do our best. Good fortune on our journeys 💙👍🏾🦉
