Barbara Weber-Scaff a.k.a. Ulrich Stern (and Kiwi )

[Blueyedblonde offline]

A pregnant young wife from a wealthy Boston family decided to name her daughter "Juanita" after her favourite aunt. But she had a son, so she called him "Juan" instead.

Being a rich Anglo from Boston, young Juan rather disliked his name and referred to himself as "Terry" instead (middle name, maybe?)

But when he was forging his international airline with flying boats throughout the Caribbean and Latin America, he reverted to his first name, which the Latin Americans found more trustworthy.

And such began the legend of Juan Trippe, founder of Pan American World Airways...

OoOoOh! Educational! Nice.

Hey Barbara, I'm finally here, just in case you didn't get my intro thread.

I was wondering if you've read my story yet. It's in the Fan Fiction forum.

Thanks! *hugs*

hey all I could read was the synopsis you put in a post... could you give me some directions on how to access your story? I'm new at all this. do I have to log on to another site to read it? I kind of don't want to get into all that.But I am interested in your story!

I just sent you the first five chapters via private message. I just completed Chapter 5. David suggested something very important for the plotline. And no worries, I'll get to the good parts very soon. * *

There's noe thing I have to say: it is not polite and educate from your part to go advertize your fic everywhere around the forum. Plus, the impression you're giving to me is that you're just a little whiney child wanting for attention. And you're feeling lucky just because you got a voice actor got to read your fic, but in my opinion you just got this by being a stalker. The only correct way to advertize your fic is at the Fanfiction thread, not everywhere else. Please, do not ingore my words.

Sorry if I'm posting this, Barbara, but I had to. It's sickening me already.

[Taelia offline]

No, I'm not. I'm just excited.

Dude, who isn't exited to have a VA read your story? I was excited when Barbara looked at my picture. She just wrote a story, and thought that the voices would like to read it. There really is nothing wrong with that. And you could have just told her to stop advertising her story, you didn't have to insult her. That's not polite either.

[Blueyedblonde offline]

^ Agreed. I shall not argue. ^.^

I finnaly got to see, 'Amnesia' for the first time the other day, And you certainly do a great job of Ulrich in that eposode! He totally sounds clueless when he wakes up!

[Taelia offline]

I agree. And in "Killer Music", your shouting was excellent. It's almost like you were really yelling at Matt.

Ms. Weber-Scaff, I've got another "Who's Voice is it Anyway?" question for you. ^^; Do you also do the voice of Hiroki, Yumi's little brother? ^_^

[Taelia offline]

I heard she also voices Tamiya. It sounds like Cree Summer does her, though.

[kiwi offline]

Woah Guys! Peace!

Let's not spoil the VA threads by getting mad at each other.

Rodri made a valid point,
so did Taelia,
so did Blueyedblonde (and yes I also went crazy when a VA praised my work ).

So, we've made our statements, lets just learn from them and leave it at that, and not clog this thread with angry posts.

As for Barbara - I saw a batch of new eps lately and your work is still on Top-Form. Ulrich really must be one of the hardly characters, because he is very emotional and passionate, but very reserved with those emotions. It takes real skill to balance the two elements and still retain Ulrich's Humanity.

My fav. Ulrich-ep yet, 'The Chips Are Down' - I'm wondering if you consider yourself a 'method-actor' i.e. do you have a set of mental exercises or techniques for getting into character?

Thanks TB3 for all you said above. It doesn't at all bother me if someone lets me know they'd like me to read their fanfic! I just hope they'll be patient with me til I find the time to get to it! I really appreciate hearing what you think of the episodes, and of the work we all do.
to answer the "method" question, I'd have to say I do a little bit of everything. I've had training of course, in that technique, and there are some basic principles I use, but for me the most important thing is to be relaxed when I go into the studio and try to let the situation of the character dictate my reactions... and above all to have fun! Sometimes, when it's a very important scene, like in "Cold War", the I might tap into some method work.

You got me! good ear once again! I love doing Hiroki, he's SUCH a PEST.

Well you just stole the words out of my mouth.....anyway the was so cute!

[Taelia offline]

Good thing Barbie here balances her acting career and her motherliness.

[Blueyedblonde offline]

Eek! I knew it was you that did Yumi's little brother! ^.^
I love Hiroki as well. I like to think he read Yumi's diary, and that's why he always say's she loves him. They should make an eppie about it! Hehehe.

[Taelia offline]

I agree.

Thanks! He is a pest, but I'd have to admit, he's the cute kind of pest. ^.^ You really nailed how a little brother acts around his older sister. It's rather adorable in a way...although I've got a feeling Yumi would disagree. ^^;

Cute kind of pest... brattish ones... I hate them. Though, Hiroki's not bratty enough to put him into hot boiling water. *thinks about Carlos Tevez's scar on his neck*
