It may not necessarily reflect my current frame of mind. Sometimes I have to put myself at the point in time of the voice that I'm trying to sing with.

One of the things I learned in animation is that you never, ever want to start doing a voice that you can't sustain for four straight hours.

I feel a real sense of duty to use the voice and the platform I've been afforded by my fame to speak out for those whose voices don't get a chance to be heard.

When I was in the recording studio, I needed to concentrate on what my voice was doing, which is rather difficult if you can't actually see what you are supposed to be singing.

But I've had to act and not depend on my voice so much.

With voice overs... you're not thinking about the camera. So your voice becomes this thing that you can manipulate. And depending on the character you're doing, it's all concentration on your voice.

That is one of the first things my family, my mother and my grandfather, had taught me about acting: 'Use your eyes!' Not being able to do that physical aspect of it, and having to put it all into your voice? That was a little bit of a challenge.

While my speech is getting better every day, throughout my recovery, I have been able to sing to some extent.

I get to focus on being a musician sometimes, and I get to focus on being a vocalist sometimes.

If you lose your concentration singing harmony, then it's lackluster and no fun to watch.
