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.
