For 'Barnyard,' I did the voice of a 'chick,' which was really a blast because I had to manipulate my voice to another pitch.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There was a lot of playing by myself, wearing last year's Halloween costume and wandering around the yard talking to myself - which may account for my fondness for doing different voices.
When I was a kid, I remember trying to emulate Stevie Wonder's sound, and Donny Hathaway's sound. It's just part of who I am - I'm just a soulful kind of dude.
I was trying to do Billie Holiday, because she was the voice to be heard at that time.
I really enjoyed doing the voice of Nose Marie on the cartoon series Pound Puppies. Fun, FUN cast.
I can do a really high-pitched cartoon voice. Everybody always say they like that.
I auditioned for 'Pitch Perfect,' and I had to sing. It was terrible.
I wanted to make sounds that I'd never heard before.
When I was a kid, I wanted to emulate Mel Blanc, who is arguably one of the most legendary voiceover recording artists of our time. I used to watch all the cartoons where he would voice Daffy, Elmer Fudd and Porky the Pig. I knew one day I wanted to do that.
The voices on the record, that was trying to treat my voice like guitar players treat guitar tones.
And I had not much of a voice. I didn't play that great guitar either.
