It's a different way of getting across an emotion. You're trying to get it across to the animator because the animator is inspired by the voicetrack in terms of how to animate the character.

I'm kind of an animated person. I was given this really big blessing that my voice just kind of carries the emotion.
Animation is a fascinating area from an acting point of view because it's not really like anything else because you are only providing a portion of the performance. That's very inspiring and it forces you to do things in a different way - to tell stories through your voice.
Most of the animated films I watched, the emotions are all prepackaged like canned music, the hand actions, the sighs.
The voice is something very mysterious. It's difficult to say what is inside a voice that moves people.
You don't have a face to work with, so your voice has to do all the work until you see the animation. So, a lot of it I had to pull back because it was too big.
You have to show the character is confused or scared or happy through your voice instead of with your face and body.
You can convey a lot of emotion with just some eyebrows and mouth movement.
It's about storytelling. The story is told through images. So with the cast, I had to make sure that the emotions were readable without sound... I know some great actors, if you turn off the sound, you don't really know what they're saying.
When you do animation - well, straightforward animation, although it's not straightforward - the voice for a character or something, they're always singular experiences, really.
Emotions serve characters' purposes. That is their motivation.
