Janet Varney talks Korra and Fandom

See...I just have a LOT of time. The twitter session summary is coming up soon as well.

AVClub has an incredibly in-depth interview with Janet Varney on her voice acting experience, relationship to the voice actor of Azula and what's it like working on Legend of Korra. We'll post an excerpt, but be sure to read the entire interview here.

VC: You’re friends with Grey DeLisle, who voiced Azula on the original series. Did you know her while she was working on the original show?

JV: No—or, rather, I did, but it had nothing to do with me. She’s one of those voiceover people who works all the time—she can do a million different voices, she’s so skilled it blows my mind. I did meet her because of her voiceover career, through Matt Lillard, because Matt is Shaggy on [Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated] and Grey is Daphne. Matt and I shot a pilot together for ABC, one of the many pilots that gets shot about, like [perky] three couples! [Laughs.] I’d been hearing about her through the grapevine for a while, like, “I think you guys would really get along!” And sure enough, five minutes into us meeting, we were completely in love with each other.

AVC: Had you seen the original show at the time?

JV: I had, but I didn’t know much about voiceover at the time; I still sort of put cartoons and animation in the world of “Oh, those are real people!” I wasn’t thinking much about “Who voices this character?”
