I used to sing in the church choir. People would say it was unusual for such a small girl to have such a big voice. They would say, 'She sounds like she's grown.'

When I first started I was always known as The Girl on the Sitcom with the Funny Voice.

I was going to be the next big voice-over thing, of course, in my mind. I didn't.

When I was teeny tiny, I definitely had a voice that didn't quite match the way I looked at five.

Basically, I was a freak show. This kid with this big old voice. I was a travelling freak.

I was a little girl who grew up idolizing musical-theatre stars.

Being the youngest, I was a bit of a daddy's girl and sought attention from an early age by singing. I don't know where I got my voice, but ours was always a musical house.

I sang a lot as a little girl and entered competitions. I loved singing in choirs, but it was as I got older that I really found my voice.

I've been called 'the voice actor.'

I was four years old then, and I think it must have been the next summer that I first heard the voices.
