Often, when I work with a vocalist, I like to focus on the melodies first.
I usually prepare a track and then I work with the artist when it's time to do the vocals.
I started out dabbling in rock and roll; then I did playback, and I have also sung for my own songs on screen.
[Voice acting] is such an easy job. It's like stealing money, really. Which I'm always happy to do.
As a soprano who sings 'Lucia di Lammermoor,' I have the high notes and the trills. No problems there. But going into the low registers is lots of work.
I've always had a deep resonance, but I love vocal work, and I've been doing it for so many years.
It can get a bit boring working on accents.
Vocal arrangements are something I'm working a lot with for the new songs.
It didn't matter what you look like. You don't have to get up at 5:30 in the morning and there's a lot to be said for that. Corpse Bride can just play all my parts from now on and I'll just do the voice.
I love to keep doing the voice, and I'll do it as long as I'm able and as long as Tony sells cereal.
People would call me up because they liked my voice, and they wanted some kind of vocal harmony. Sometimes I was asked to come in and sing all the harmony parts, and sometimes I would sing with other people.
