I didn't record any additional dialogue for this CD, they are excerpts pulled from existing episodes.

I think there are more female characters in videogames now but I also think that's because videogames in general are more diverse now.

I usually have 10 different animation projects going at a time.

I'm not sure specifically but there's definitely parts of me in Rikku.

Whenever you do an animated project or a voice-over project it's inevitable that part of your personality comes into play.

I had to make squirrel noises as Bubbles and without realizing it, I was making the face and putting my fingers up to my face to look like a squirrel and everyone made fun of me for the rest of the day.

I think it's definitely beneficial for these characters to have good acting voices behind them and it affects the characters in a way that people can feel like they're part of the game and that they know these characters.
