Summary
- Voice acting for Zootropolis 2 was a secret project.
- Comedy inspirations include Carol Burnett and mom.
- Past gigs include a challenging biker bar performance.
The comedian discussed the challenges and surprises of voice acting for the upcoming Zootropolis 2, where she plays Nibbles the beaver. Due to the project's top-secret status, she received scene details only in the recording booth, initially unaware of her character's full importance.
Her comedic journey is deeply influenced by her mother, whom she describes as a constant source of humor, and her childhood admiration for Carol Burnett. These inspirations shaped her approach to comedy throughout her career.
Looking back, she recalled a particularly tough early gig at a biker bar in Virginia. The venue's rudimentary setup, including a crate for a stage and a construction light, made for a memorable, albeit challenging, performance experience.
