They have classes for such things. Not sure if Grey Delisle ever took them, supposedly she looked into it when she was told she did good voice immitations as a stand-up comic.
Sounds like she has fun...

Anyone can audition, that's for sure. But I'm sure you're better off with classes to back you up. But some voice actors come from nothing and move on up. I guess it depends on whether you have the right voice, personality, attitude, and abillity to take directions.
I don't know if I would ever take a shot at seriouse voice acting, but I enjoy reading into it. I may try fandub's or lend my voice to a friends project. I have a history of performing, so I may do well. I think I could be a good voice actor if I REALLY made the effort. But one thing is for sure: It would be increadably fun to work with the Foster's crew! They must have a real fun time. It show's in the finished product.

If you want to see just how talented and diverse Grey DeLisle is, compare Frankie to Mandy from The Grim Adventures. If it weren't for sharing the same voice actress, they couldn't possibly hope to be any more different, either in appearances or personality. It's just amazing.

However, to be completely honest, I do NOT like how Mandy hogs all the attention and fan love from DeLisle's other characters. I guess I understand why, since Mandy is one of the mascots on her show, while Frankie isn't. But it still grates me, because unlike Mandy, Frankie's character is unique and refreshingly three-dimensional.

I thought Mandy was voiced by Terra Strong. But I agree. Frankie is a better character all around. But Mandy has a cute charm to her.

Strong and DeLisle sound very similar when they do a low-key voice (see DeLisle's Mandy and Strong's character from Teen Titans, never remember those character's names).

Foster's is blessed with excellent voice work. No cartoon can really entertain without good voice acting.

Yes, good voice actors are very important to a cartoon. My all time faves are Scott Mcneill and Cam Clarck. But many of the Foster's crew, Grey Delisle inparticular, are moveing up my list!:D

Being good at acting is essential to voice acting, because if you can't act, all you really have is funny voices.

That's one of the things I love about Foster's, too -- you can just tell they have a lot of fun making it.

WHOA...If you hadn't posted that, I would've never known that Grey DeLisle did Mandy's voice.

I just saw "Squeekerbox" today. I have to say that Frankie look's pretty good in the morning. ;)

I've been rewatching the end of "The Big Cheese" repeatedly on my computer, only because I think Frankie looks absolutely delicious without her jacket and covered in mud. That, and she's simply hilarious :D
