Have you noticed that over the course of the show, Ulrich's American voice has changed the least? Was it your suggestion, Barbara, to have Ulrich's voice change from kid to sexy teen? ;)

I'm not sure what you mean exactly. You say it's changed the least,( which I hope, because in Season 1 &2 they're in the same school year). But then you say it's changed from kid to sexy teen... could you explain?

What I meant was, did Ulrich's voice change to get a bit lower?

Not intentionally, but if it did I'm glad! Can you imagine the alternative?

XD Oh God.....

I wonder what kind of character research do you do, Barbara? Do you go online and type a paper on Ulrich? Or do you talk to the writers about him?

I was wondering this. Does Ulrich ever get tired of fighting Xana or does he enjoy fighting his robots and saving the day?

In which case, the two of you should watch Episode 22: "Routine". That tells you what Ulrich thinks of fighting XANA's monsters.

Barbara, :umm: I was wondering if it was hard doing Ulrich's voice, with you not being a guy doing a guy's voice.

I know I'm not Barbara, but I thought that question sounded familiar, so I did a bit of looking. From back in November....

Taelia? You're doing it again. Calm down. If Barbara has anything to relate, I'm sure she will.

Getting tired of doing the same routine: school, fighting, returning to the past (constantly, by that time), living the same day again... basically, a routine, hence that episode's name.

I would like to say something else here, but it can go against the rules.

A question to Barbara: which is your favourite city at France?

Actually, I meant can you imagine if his voice got higher? that would be pretty weird, huh? but the Governator as Ulrich was funny.

Oh definitely Paris, though I also really like Marseille, and have soft spots for Strasbourg, St. Malo, Carcassonne and Bordeaux. I think I prefer living in Paris,though.
I love your tamales song, very funny. I hear it sung in a sort of Perdo Navajo way. I guess you must speak Spanish very well!

I have, a long time ago, when I used to live in the US. Did you guys know that Sharon Mann was featured in a Tales from the Crypt, under the name of Lee Danner?

So Mrs. Scaff, during recording, do you do your voice acting alone or do you perform with the other voice actors?

We all perform together, at least as many of us as can squeeze in around the mike. Of course when we do two roles, we have to do another track, sometimes alone, like when I do Kiwi.
