What's up everybody, it's Rob Happy New Year.
2026, I hope it's great year for you.
We are still out on vacation, but that doesn't mean we're not going to leave you with something to watch and or listen to in the new year.
We'll be back live January the 8th at 8 Eastern 5 Pacific with our best and worst films of 2025.
You don't want to miss that, it will be live right here.
Sunset Lounge DFW is where you want to be for that.
But today we're going to give you another Q&A, the third of three that I did for Dallas Comic Show back in November.
These are two voice actors, Scott Gibbs and Carly Hoke.
They are wonderful people, we had a blast, but they are currently being featured in Suicide Squad, Isakai.
This is from overseas, it's a brandy spanking kind of sort of new show where they are Joker and Harley Quinn respectively.
If you know me, you know I'm already interested.
They've got great stories to tell, they're wonderful people.
Check out this Q&A I got to do with them at Dallas Comic Show back in November.
This is Scott Gibbs.
Welcome to Dallas Comic Show, we are in our next Q&A of the day, so glad to have you with us right now.
We're going to have some fun.
I believe it.
I mean at least that's what I'm hoping for.
Oh yeah.
I always have fun.
That makes my job easier.
Yeah.
We have two people that are interquined in more ways than one as I was doing my research.
Scott Gibbs and Carly Hotch are here.
Did I get that right?
No.
Good.
Correct me.
My last name was Hoke, it's German, nobody ever gets it right.
But you know I'd rather be corrected so I don't get it wrong again.
And if you get it wrong again, guess what?
I don't care.
With the last name like Irvin, I get it.
This has been my life since I was a kid.
Yeah.
I'm so used to it at this point.
Do you sensitize to that?
Yeah.
Oh yeah, you've got to give up at some point.
My fourth grade teacher put in A in my last name, and I'm still trying to figure that one out.
Interesting.
So, she qualified to be a teacher?
Well, and his wife was French, so there was the whole, we had to learn French in fourth grade.
It was...
Why don't we...
I'm still in therapy, it's okay.
So, why don't we real quick talk about the World War II Museum that had the, what was it?
Yes.
I was right down the hall here.
Right down the hall.
Yeah, yeah.
It said that the guns are still functioning with a K.
Yeah.
So, which is weird on multiple levels.
I know, exactly.
Yeah, yeah.
It's a little uncomfortable.
Walking through this mall though, I was saying like it's giving me the vibe of a little bit of like kind of dawn of the dead.
Like this would be a place, great place to kind of hunker down, and then I was kind of refuted that that there's not...
Like there's not a lot of supplies.
There's not much to lose.
We couldn't loot, but then that's what we're saying.
We have functioning guns.
And we have a power tool.
We have a whole tool.
I did see a whole power tool store, exactly.
I can dress like a K-pop princess.
What is that anime high school of the dead where he has the nail gun that he uses against the zombies?
Yeah.
Yeah.
You always think that we think about, I think Battle Royale.
100% of the movie, which I love.
And I'm so glad that CW abandoned their American version of it, so that just brings me joy.
Yeah, the original, yeah.
Much better.
They don't talk to me here.
So I got to see it in the theater a few years ago.
Oh, really?
I love it.
Oh, that's cool.
I love when they bring things to theaters, but total tangent to everything we're here for.
But see, that's kind of how my Q&A's tend to go.
Yeah, because if we just talk about the same old, same old, same old, same old, then you know, 45 minutes feels like three hours.
Yeah.
Much like the movie I had to sit through the other a few days ago that I can't talk about for another week.
That's me when we're done.
Okay.
So let's just start with Secret Origins, because you guys are both voiceover artists.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And a very important series currently that puts you both here at the same time.
But what started you on this journey?
For myself.
Ladies first.
Thank you.
I'll take this question first.
I'm very confused right now.
I need an adult.
The journey of voice acting started with just a journey in acting.
Were you stage?
I started on stage.
Nice.
So started practicing theater.
And it was your first production.
Okay.
Well, my first production was like, are we talking like first time ever on the first one you count?
Okay.
Here's, I'm going to give you the true one that, and this is no joke.
All right.
Fourth grade.
They wanted to do Annie.
I feel like that was everyone's first.
Yeah.
We're at least second.
And I auditioned.
And they couldn't, and everyone auditioned.
And they couldn't find an appropriate Annie.
No.
Were you Annie?
So they changed it to Andy.
Oh no!
I'm not joking around.
Did they at least change the name of the dog so it wasn't Andy and Sandy?
No.
No, they did not.
And in fact, Sandy was played by a girl I had a crush on at the time.
And so that.
And so that.
Yeah.
Nope.
They skipped her for Annie.
Oh my gosh.
And so that was.
That was.
So we both have fourth grade trauma.
Yeah.
No joke.
That's still, I guess, burns my mind of one of the first young times being on stage.
But first professional production being cast by the Texas Shakespeare Festival.
And then traveled around doing theater in New York, Charleston, South Carolina.
Oh, your professional professional.
Yeah.
Just a little bit.
But then when I was in Charleston, South Carolina, I got the taste of working on screen.
Then moved back here to Houston.
That continued work with and just working within a great network of actors that just kind of play it forward.
And as Carly and I were talking about, you know, the best actors are the ones that try to open the doors for others and not kind of work or the industry for themselves.
Was able to then get into a voiceover booth.
You do some wallah, you know, soldier B and opportunity.
We got, we got opportunity.
And then now just get this great, great experience to get to go into the booth and play make it.
The weirdest experience ever.
Yeah.
And like, oh, yeah, I'm an anime voice actor.
They're like, how's that weird always?
Yeah.
And you know, what actors like to prepare a lot?
Oh, God.
There's no prep work.
And there is no prep.
So it's pure improv.
And that's one of one of my things that I love to do.
So it's just, it's such a great exercise in staying sharp and flexing the muscles and the skills of an actor.
Yeah.
Yeah, absolutely.
Mine's different.
I have always been a loud mouth child.
So when I was in kindergarten, my teacher, at the first like parent teacher conference thing that they did, Ms. Vandenberg was her name.
Ms. Vandenberg, you were a G. I love you still.
She told my mama, you need to get this girl into theater.
And bam, I was in theater.
And I did theater until I was 19.
And then after that, I guess like towards the end of that when I was 16, I started being a professional princess.
And I started taking singing lessons when I was 10 or something like that.
And then I worked my way up and was doing stuff for Houston and my vocal coach.
I was sitting there, not sitting there.
I was in a lesson with her.
And I was like, oh, I was up until 4 in the morning watching anime.
And she was like, you look at anime.
I was like, oh yeah, I do.
Quite a bit.
She's like, you know Mark, her husband does anime, right?
I was like, what?
Because I thought anime was for like the super cool people.
Like, not just everyday average Joe Schmose.
I thought it was totally inaccessible to the general public.
And she was like, is that something you would ever be interested in?
And I was like, uh-huh.
I shook my head up and out so furiously.
I was like, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
There's not enough yeses on this planet.
Yeah, no, like seriously.
And then I was 17 when we had that conversation.
I think like a month or two later, I turned 18.
I got an email that week asking me to come in and audition.
And I auditioned with Chris Ayers.
And he gave me my first roles.
Kyle gave me some more roles.
Uh, and yeah, that's how I kind of just tripped and fell into voice acting.
Honestly, I, background was totally stage.
I'd never, ever anticipated being a voice actor.
So really, yeah, I got lucky.
Because I love it.
I do.
You glossed over two things.
We have to back up.
Okay.
One, I have to ask the same question.
First stage production.
First stage production was Princess in the P.
Okay.
And I was a maid.
And I remember getting yelled at by my director because I sat down.
And she was like, a maid would never sit down.
And I was like, well, this maid is tired.
Eventually, at some point, they have to.
Yeah.
So she was like, she was like, you would never.
That's not in your character.
I was like, I'm five.
Please.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So that's my first production.
What's your second question?
And you glossed over professional princess.
Yeah.
Why would I back up to that?
Dilla princess.
So I didn't actually leave the job entirely.
I just, I'm a princess every day.
No, I'm kidding.
Hi.
So, yeah, I was a professional princess.
I didn't work for Disney.
I made a lot more money than the performers at Disney make.
And I went to primarily birthday parties, but also did things like weddings,
quinceañeras.
I would volunteer my time at hospitals and charity functions just as different characters,
different well-loved characters.
Cool.
Yeah, it was a lot of fun.
It was honestly a super rewarding work too.
Because I got to like tell kids like, hey, actually follow your dreams.
Because there's, there's, as I said, the average Joe Schmo can do anything pretty much.
So working our way up to the big thing.
I was telling you guys in our pre-greet that I like to look through and find odd titles
that you've worked on.
Oh, yeah.
That's pretty easy in an anime.
You went to see what you found.
The vexations of a shut-in vampire princess.
Oh, yeah.
That one was so fun.
A mouthful.
Yeah.
Well, that's like most of what's on you guys.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, that's all that's made these days.
So long are the days of bleach.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was so easy.
I mean, as you can tell, I'm no spring chicken.
So for me, when you say anime, I'm Star Blazers of Voltron.
Right.
Gatcha Man.
Evangelion.
Even, even getting up to the OG cowboy bebop.
Yeah.
The live action I couldn't get through.
No.
Love everybody who does all this.
You can't, you can't put tank live action.
He's just too large.
No, yeah, exactly, exactly.
My instant death ability is overpowered.
Are you in that one?
I showed both of you.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I just go in and do the things they tell you to do.
Yeah.
And then you've got to help me with this one because you have the full title on your banner.
But IMDB did not have the full title.
Okay.
I've somehow gotten stronger when I improved my farm related skills.
I didn't even know I was in that one.
I'm going to keep it a buck.
Oh, wait.
No, actually, I'm the lolly demon girl.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But there was more to that title.
Yeah, I don't know it.
And it's like, I saw it on your banner.
Like four more lines.
I'm like, IMDB has let me down.
Yeah.
No, we just end up shortening them.
So that one in the studio, when we talked about it, was just farming skills.
Yeah.
And do you think it's because the way it translates just keeps going?
Or do they just name them like that?
I don't know.
Genuinely, I do not know.
I would imagine it is kind of a mix of like, hey, the translation just ends up this way.
But I honestly think it's a bit now.
Like, I can't imagine it being a bit, you know, because it's just like, I'm a lead in an
anime called the most theoretical last boss queen from villainist to savior.
Why is it two sentences?
Why is it two sentences?
It's like anime and Fiona Apple album titles.
It's just like they're going for a record.
I don't know.
And before we get to the, oh, actually, it reminds me of like old school emo bands, how they
would name things like, um, uh, panicked at disco is a prime example.
Yeah, yeah.
Or brand new.
Uh, I miss you.
But my Tommy gun don't like, like, like, yeah, under all, yes, absolutely.
Yeah.
Yeah, I just, I'm like, can you just?
I'd love you.
Play.
Yeah.
That's what I got.
That's it.
You know, it's certainly hit the button.
Yeah.
It's certainly a trend at this point.
It seems like it is.
It's a gimmick in the title, which I think.
Oh my god.
For fans.
I now know the entire songs about.
Yeah.
The title is the synopsis.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Your title is like a thesis.
That's, that's correct.
That is correct.
Okay.
So, so Sintai is producing an anime right now.
And the entire title of it is.
Oh god.
Hold on.
Let me find it.
I'm trying.
Hold on.
Give me a second.
Give me a second.
Uh, it doesn't even show it anywhere.
It doesn't even show the full title.
Uh, my gift level.
900 or 9999 unlimited gotcha back stabbed in a backwater dungeon
I'm out for revenge.
There you go.
That's like a tag ride.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's why.
And I can guarantee they're just calling it unlimited gotcha in the studio.
Just and leave it there.
I'm okay with that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's all that needs to be.
But then you've gotten to do something recently.
I'm a Batman nut.
I'm just telling you guys now.
Okay.
Yeah.
There's photo evidence that my mother made me a batman costume when I was like three with a rope in every
That's so cute. There's photo evidence somewhere. I'm sure she's holding on to it. Oh yeah, I'm a hardcore Harley-Fantasy
But you did batman ninja versus Yakuza League
Which I have bought side-to-side I
I thought I bought a side-to-side and seen because I loved batman ninja so much
And I've gotten to the point where I've gotten everything up to I think I'm current and they're about to do a three-part nightfall
Which I'm excited about. Yes, they're doing nightfall at a three three movie series animated
Which I'll pull on here for as long as they don't screw it up. I mean dark night returns. They're really
Spring things up
They did not screw up batman ninja versus Yakuza League. I'll tell you that if you go on
I'm so ready to read I'm so ready to watch it if you go on read it and you look it up everybody's like
I love this so much more than the first one. Really? Yeah
Yeah, it was it was so artistically interesting the story was
Wild, but this one has a really cohesive story the animation is still what you want where it's just all over the place different styles
The characters are all outside the box for what the characters normally would be which is what you got from the first one
So it's it's I highly recommended to everyone. It's one of my favorite projects. I've been a part of two date
I literally like just saw the title because on my podcast we talk about upcoming releases
And I said I saw the title. Don't care. I want to go to there. I want to go to
Movie trading company set aside a coffee. I'll be there on Tuesday
Yeah, but the thing that we're gonna talk about and you guys have got to help me because I'm gonna screw this up so bad you're good
Suicide squad is it just is a guy good because I was there's no way I was gonna get there. No, you're good
I was told yesterday
And this is a direct quote
You are now
Harley Quinn period end of last. Yes, that is
Absolutely correct that is that is little on me. That is literal. That is a literal statement that was given to me yesterday
Yes, yeah, I would definitely I'll step ahead and second that as oh my god
Yeah, you carry that weight, sir. Yeah, I mean, you know, so in the suicide squad
Esekai series my character and my
Yeah, it doesn't appear. It's kind of bookends the the series
Yeah, he's on the periphery Joker's a presence. Yes, but yeah, but it's a necessary presence because if you take his presence out of it
There's no Harley without you. Yeah, there's Harley's motivations have to be understood and I and it's one of these people
Complain like we out. Why do we always get origin stories? Why do we always get origin stories? It's so but for her? Yeah
It is important because there's so many layers to that character
But those layers don't exist without him
Yeah, absolutely and the way they threw it into the show every time Joker's on screen
And I'm not sure if it's just because it's his performance and I just love your Joker or or I just love the story of
Harley and Joker in general, but every time Joker's on screen. I'm just like
We're eating so good with it the way they put him into the story to give her the backstory with like the the whole
I mean, I I can't spoil it, but like the whole scene over the vat of acid and oh with the thinker and oh
Oh, it's so good. Oh, it's so good
And so every time that I was
It most of the times when I was in the boots of record. I believe Carly had already recorded so
Because I was so gone. I was in there
Boy, I'm doing it all now. Yeah, I mean to play off of what Carly was doing made my job incredibly easy
And then we look at the other adaptations that are out there and representations of Harley Quinn. I mean
Yeah, you take so many I mean like I can't I don't I don't know
I love Harley in all of her renditions
So that's it's such an honor to be like up there with the other Harleys
But like there's so many different renditions of Harley some of them you just can't even compare like my Harley
Some people try and compare me to Kaylee Coco. I'm like
No, we're so different what and the story telling so different. Oh immensely they put Harley in the Harley Quinn show
In like she's so real. She's like she's like she's not even it's not even about like crime
It's it's like she's just a human being with some issues. Well for those unfamiliar
Give us the gist of this version of suicide squad
Well, I mean you're looking over here to me and I again, I appear very briefly in the show
But I can tell you you know, we have our same
traditional
Set up for our suicide squad right given a mission. I got the callers around the next
Amanda Waller, right? We're set out on a mission 72 hours or you're done. Yep, except this time
We're gonna go through a portal into an alternative universe, which that sets up these Esekai style stories
We have here in a different universe that are transported into a foreign unknown world and then the chaos kind of ensues
And comedy the same action that we we expect it's so funny
And and we watched them in their arc of trying to complete the mission and just to live to see another day
Right, and it's it it is genuinely such like a a
slapstick funny show
Kyle Jones is just a hilarious individual
He was the director and the primary script right at the primary director and script writer for the show and this man's just funny
Like this man just lives in breathe funny and so what he did with it
What how he elevated the script was amazing and then I'm such a Harley fan like I started watching the Batman animated series with my
Father when I was eight or nine. I wanted more Harley content
So I started downloading DLC for video games like there's a DLC called Harley's Revenge and an Arkham game
I downloaded that I needed more
So I started reading comics literally Harley is why I got into comics
And I I I cosplayed Harley three times I I before I was even a voice actor. I was cosplaying Harley
And I just I've loved her for so so long. She's just a crazy captivating character
And you never know what to expect from her, but also she's real and anyway, I love her a lot and
So when I was in there with Kyle Kyle, you know, he elevates the script, but then I
Would just kind of like ad lib certain parts and he'd be like I love it
I love it. We're rolling with it. Let's go and so I got this is hardly is the character that I have the most creative
Freedom with and I think it's just because it's so easy for me to embody her
Because I love her so much and I have for so long
So it is a lot of fun to go in there. It's a very funny funny show. There's an entire episode where they're drunk and it's
It is just good fun
And oh my god, and then the the last episode is a very best episode and I I can't say why
But when I was in there I laterally started screaming and they had to cut my mic because I loved it that much
So how many episodes are there? 10?
Just one season so far. Mm-hmm. So far. Hopefully we get more. Hopefully
Yeah, I think as well, you know
Fans of the suicides quiet end of DC DC universe. I think at first right when we'd started to get these film adaptations
There was this dark contrast between Marvel and DC and DC being very dark and serious
So dark and serious and so many DC's animation stuff
You there even if animation features it's the better of the two. Sure sure
Absolutely, some exceptions. So as what overall
I think DC gets the animated piece better. They just do because of the darkness
Yeah, they stay true to their character
Yeah, right. I don't think on the other side of in the in in universe camp
Yeah, they don't have their animations don't seem to like translate as much
But with this title, you know, it seems that DC long the way has learned that we do need we do need some comedic relief
Yeah, once well, and as you said flash though. Yeah
And then so then introducing it, you know, blending it with the genre of anime then that just naturally comes out of the
The kind of wackiness and the comedy peacemaker loses his pants. Yep
He loses him twice actually so yeah it follows him
Clayface peacemaker King Shark and
And
Is not all that's in the group. I feel like I'm I'm missing. Oh, and then the evils are
thinker and
Enchantress and then there's a new big bat in there and then there's Katana and
One of my favorite insults I've ever said in any anime ever is there and I can't say it because we're at a family-friendly event
I appreciate that it follows them and like if you know anything about especially clayface
They're just ridiculous like King Shark is hyper protective of Harley. So that's funny
Clayface is just I mean he's clayface. So he's just dramatic everywhere peacemaker that movie peacemaker the way that he delivers his
Lines he's so dead pan. They every line is funny
Every line is funny, but then it also has its very serious moments like there's a fight with Harley and
The thinker where she gets really serious and then there's
peacemaker who's trying to resolve an issue
Very physically and it's very serious and like you'll get these close-up pans of like you remember the Harley and Joker pan up on their face
We're laughing maniacally. It's like you get these close-up pans and it just like since chills down your spine
It's really creepy. It's quite creepy. It's very very well done
So they it does have a lot of the comedy because it is such a rag tag
Motley crew and there is the chaos and in the comedy there
But it also has its very serious moments where they're there to do a job or they die
And that's it how hard is it to
Keep your interpretation of the characters
true without and but still have your own version of it because
These are two characters even though one has a lot more history and what we've learned from the invention of Harley
Quinn is that it's okay to write when you have a fever dream
If you don't know the origin of Harley Quinn go go look it up. I love that. I'm stealing that
It's okay to write when you have a fever dream
That's so stupid. That is
But
What is there a challenge to that or do you just go to that place because especially with Harley because
There's not a lot of variance into the way she out of sight of Kaylee Cuoco
There's just not a lot of variance through the way she's portrayed right from an animation standpoint
There's a there's a little bit more leeway with Joker a little bit not a ton because he has had so many interpretations
I mean the dark night was something that was pulled out and it was so wildly different
That is the perfect
What is it called the
Piece piece to resist is that the way? Yeah, yeah, it is it is for me
I love I just that it the darkness it captures the darkness of DC perfectly without making
Batman a crybaby
So that's why when I walk when I walked into the audition and saw up on the screen. Oh my god
He's such a pretty boy. Yeah, the the animation of the animation of the jokers is certainly it's a new take on it
But you can't you you automatically in the K-pop demon hunter sequels. Yeah, yeah, he absolutely
Like they made him a pretty boy. Yeah, that movie so much better than it has any right to be my god literally literally this guy thought it was like
So seeing the animation style and I'm watching the in the opening clip which which I used to audition was immediately realizing
This is not the dark night's Joker. Right. This is this is a brand new. I got these scars
Yeah, and and I think like immediately it was
You know, like you're instinct as actors almost to begin to to impersonate that that delivery
Or you know go really high shrill and you know monocle or Camila exactly and and so
I just threw something at the wall by watching the taken he just came across this
much more operatic and
It's so velvety and it fits so well though. That's beautiful. Is that healthy?
So like yeah, there was like there was a lot of pressure and then to to
Make a successful choice vocally
But then what's like all right, let's just kind of just go go for it go in the spirit of Joker. Just kind of
Screw it. I'm just I'm just gonna make a big bold choice and
So you're able to kind of compartmentalize what came before for sure and focus that into what is and that's back to like what I was talking about that you know
No, no prep time. I'm just watching the screen
You don't even know you're gonna audition. They're just like hey, I've got something for you and you're like great love improv
Yeah, it's like you're watching mr. Science Theater 3000 and just doing the voiceover for what you see and so
I'm always I just always think it's just amazing the the taking in the visual information and then you know
Your actor brain is kind of just doing the calculations and outcomes
You do what you can with what you're given. Yeah, so there's a little bit of pressure
But also it's exciting to not be on the other side of completing the project and knowing that yeah
This is his my own interpretation of the Joker that will kind of live on its own
I think it's perfect for the visual like honestly. I think that you did a really really great job with it
Thank you. Yeah, of course. Thank you. Well, what about for you though
Because they're the margin for air is a little slimmer right right and people are so hardcore about Harley Quinn these days
And I actually one of my best friends is a huge Harley fan too and so when we both went through the audition process it was like
Okay, well, I hope they're not mean to whoever gets Harley because like the DC fans are hard core about Harley
That's their that's they're like queen, you know, it's ridiculous
Well, she's one of the few characters
That's more of the modern era and I think that's why because right Joker Bruce all the rest of them
Been around except Damien you have that history
Which if you haven't seen Mary little batman. It's that time of year. I have not
It's it's it's Damien does home alone basically. Oh god. That's great. It's not Amazon Prime
And it's a Christmas go watch it but oh yeah, okay back to the road
Because she's I think I guess it's because I think she's that modern era
Mm-hmm fans kind of they have an expectation her a little bit
Yeah, I guess as like she's our character. Yeah. Yeah, I I definitely could see that um, so I went in and hard
Arlene is my queen like I
Arlene is what gave life to Harley Harley did not originate in the comics
She originated in the animated series and without Arlene's performance being
What it was amazing. Oh my god. No one will ever ever ever top Arlene
In my mind because she was also literally the inspiration for her too. Yeah. Yeah, so
With the performance she gave her and the life that she gave her
It's hard not to want to emulate her
And I went in and Japan did not want an accent
Really at all they I went in and I was like all right, so we're dropping the accent and uh and
I got stopped and they're like oh no accent. I was like what what so I was forced
To make her my own instead of emulate Arlene who I had emulated in all
Instances of my Harley personas
Um cosplay or otherwise forever, you know, so it was like at first I was like I'm confident
I got this and then they were like no accent. I was like what do I do?
Where do I put my hands
um
So I I just did my best and she's very cutesy and
So again, it was the opening scene and it was it was uh the whole intro with like
Hey, have you ever wondered about a whole new world? Well, I'm gonna take you there and it's a
big explosion and she kills everybody and that's not the exact voice. I'm just pulling lines out and whatever but
Uh, I did it and I remember the the
Engineer I love him so dearly he turns he whips his head around and he looks at our director and the director goes
He's otherwise never quiet and he goes
Give me one second and he steps out of the room and he goes and he grabs the lead director and the lead director comes in and listens to and he goes
Okay, I want you to do this this this and this now and I was fresh into the game too
So it was like a lot of pressure and but I was able to do what I call the Harley quirk so no accent but
Harley is a little
Of her rocker, you know like she's she's a little like he's had a rough day. Yeah, she's a little not right
You know, she got daddy issues and like she she got she she's feeding into him with the Joker and just like
All kinds of stuff. So she's a little off her rocker, but she's also always having fun and so in that
People are like oh god. This is the worst accent. I've ever heard. I'm like it's not an accent. It's literally just a quirk
Like she's always just on the verge of laughing like even when she's fighting I threw in
Giggles like she's swinging her back and instead of like an effort and always like it
She's going
She's having fun all the time. Yeah, it's a violin is her best life. Yeah. Yeah, and so there's there's one scene in particular where
I mean, I can't spoil the whole anime you just have to watch it, but she gets serious and if anybody knows
Harley they know that when she gets serious it is
Deathly serious and she is just dragging her bat behind her and she's like angry and I got to pull out serious Harley
And that pushed me even further into my own version of Harley where I was just able to let the anger like see
And my voice and it was it was a lot of fun. It was a lot of pressure like he said
It's it's a lot of pressure to be your own while still doing justice to the character
And also doing justice to the image because the anime versions of Harley and Joker are so wildly different than anything you see in the comics
It's it it is difficult, but it's so fun to be able to do that in what an honor
It is as well to be able to bring such iconic characters that are so beloved to life and I mean I when I got the news
I screamed so loud. I made a child cry
So I mean, I'm not even kidding. He was sobbing and unconsolable and unconsolable
I keep on just I'll count it just remark that that it is absolutely amazing for to go from being a fan of
Yeah, the the material and of the series and then as an actor you getting to bring light to it and play it
You're living you live in your back. I rolled you. That's for you. Yeah
No, she would you literally think that I was lying and she tried to pants me
That's exactly what my name is Carly and so I was kind of an off the walls child like
Especially when I had my hyper moments my dad would call me Carly Quinn
Because I was a little crazy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he would call me Carly Quinn
So yeah, I mean it is really crazy and I still even thinking about it
You know that feeling when you're on a roller coaster and you hit a drop and like your stomach kind of goes up and you feel like
There's electricity and your fingertips and on your scalp. I still get that like it's it's
Over a year later a year and a half later and I still get that like
Oh my god really like I get to do that it's it's
incredible and honestly
I did expect to receive a lot of hate because DC fans are so hardcore and I get it because I'm a hardcore DC fan like
When I saw the suicide squad joker for the live action
I was not
Very pleased the Jared Leto
Yes, and he did a great job with what he was given
But like being such a fan. I had my opinions because I'm a DC fan and that's what we do. We have opinions
and
Yeah, you get it you get it
but I I
Really think that this show did it justice and I think the fans
That love DC and are okay with all the different renditions of DC and aren't just pigeonholed into their idea of what DC
And Harley and peacemaker and joker and all these people have to be when they watch it. They're like
Absolutely
This is all it should have been like this is the chaos and fun that it could be and it did it
fantastically and the last episode is something out of a fever dream
So it's perfect. It's like it's so insanely cool. I could I could go on and on and on and on so we now called this Q&A fourth grade trauma in
FEMA dreams that's it. That's our that's our theme today. Yeah
What and I love this is one of my favorite questions to ask especially voice actors
It could be because part of my themes of my Q&As were manifesting things we're putting things out there to the university
So it comes back
What's on your bucket list of roles to play right now
Okay, and it could be live action or or voiceover. I'm even gonna open it up that far
Okay, so um, I have zero interest in live action. I don't
Want to be perceived physically. So zero interest there. Okay, fair enough
But for me bucket list would be anything in the legend of Zelda universe
They just released the first picture from that live action film the other day. It looks great. It looks great
I would have preferred a different actor for Zelda, but
That I'm sure this actor is gonna do great, but there was another option that people were like saying like hey do this and it would have been like
So perfect
But this actor's gonna do great and that's not me trashing on this actor at all, but as always we all have our own opinions
I'm still gonna watch it. I'm so gonna love it. Oh, absolutely
Um anything in the legend of Zelda universe
League of legends. I have over 12,000 hours into the game and I have a League of Legends tattoo
um
So anything League of Legends and I would love to be a part of a critical role
uh
Peace whether it be their animated versions of their campaigns or even just guessing in a campaign
I think that what they do
For the voice acting industry for their community for children everywhere all over the world for the things that need to be done
I think that's really really admirable and I really highly admire them for what they do behind closed doors
That we know of obviously like you know
Uh, but yeah, so those are those are like my big things
um
when I
Back to this is not fourth grade trauma, but it's definitely a part of my fourth grade
I watched Ace Ventura pet detective a little too much
Her saying she was eight when she saw Holly Quinn and you saying you were in the fourth grade when Ace Ventura came out
Yeah, I just broke a hip. Yeah. Okay. No, I don't I don't know exactly how old I was
I don't know how old I was when when it came out um
But uh, I watched it a lot and I first started acting on stage
Plenty of directors would be like you need to tone it down with the Jim Carrey
Ask things and so um I
I would I'm be happy if if Jim Carrey you know decides to pass on an animated adaptation of ace Ventura the anime
Um, I
You just broke my brain
Let me guess my devil white devil was an animated series. There was there wasn't a very short-lived animated series
Well, my dreams are not squash. No, you said anime, but it was not anime. So we're gonna we're gonna we're gonna spin it in the anime
Uh, the that mean like you know, you go back and watch
The things I expected from you that was not it. That was not it. I love it though. Yeah, Ace Ventura
I mean, you know, you watch his his early stuff and I mean, he's a masterful physical comedian
I don't think the world was ready for him and and uh, so
Yeah, that would that would be so much fun and then um, I think as well with what Carrey said like getting to do bring the voice to some of my beloved like video games and
video game characters
We were comparing which video games we play earlier at our booths and um my style gaming is I'm I'm a strategy
World builder civilization
Sidmyre civilization seven
So, you know, they I believe they just had um, I'm forgetting the actor's name who now does the voice over
She played Brian of Tarth in Game of Thrones, okay
And uh, so like for saving me short-lived Star Wars characters. Oh, yeah, we get more from Phasma
Yeah, so if I could if I could you know be the um the wise voice of like and now your time has started. What civilization will you create?
I mean, I mean those two so giving you two broad hired two broad choices, but I'm still pining for uh
East Ventura. I think you would nail both of those honestly. Thank you. Thank you very much. All right. Well, let's let's let's next level at then
What kind of rules would you like to see the other one play?
Oh god, I don't know that's that I just came to me it's the first time I've asked that question
Well then I'll go first because I gotta think because again, you've been you've been able to flex this
skill of with the hype you're this high-pitched, you know playful
You know bounce I mean you're you're you're riding these waves vocally with the Harley Quinn
And you were talking about earlier than the opportunity of then up going showing your range of of a grounded character
That that that that explores. Yeah, the lower register of your voice. So I am hoping to manifest that for you
Thanks, that'd be awesome because I cannot stand the sound of my own voice sometimes
All I do is my pitched way up here. Oh my gosh. I'm so excited all the time. Nothing is ever bad
It's all I do all the time and don't give me wrong
I'm so grateful for everything that I am given and I love it a lot
But I would love to explore my lower range of themes
um
Oh god, I don't really know sky all that wow
Honestly, this is my third time meeting you and I want to have like a meaningful thought if I'm gonna say like what do I want for you
That's such a crazy question no pressure no pressure everybody's second. What could I see you?
Oh my god like a fiero in wicked. This is super relevant fresh on my mind because I just saw it yesterday
I feel like you could in live action or in any animation. I feel like you could play the like
I'm pretending to be stupid, but actually I'm really smart and sentimental and I I'm actually like a really good person
The I feel like I feel like you would nail something like that, but you're also a goober so I could see you doing something like
No, I take that with every ounce of appreciation. Yeah, absolutely like you're you're such a goober
So it would have to be a character that does have an air of comedy to it
And that's why I think like a fiero type would be greater like who's the guy from princess in the bride?
Oh, you're talking about
Yeah, which the carry always
Oh
God, I'm forgetting all of their names and it's been so long. Why did I the main guy the main guys carry always
Yes, the bread the dread pirate Robert. Yes, the dread pirate. I could see you doing something like that too
Yeah, I played I played some roles of that of yeah the the buffoon
The the fool that the parades around with the very you know paper thin
Layer of confidence and self-assuredness and is sure to then fall flat on their face immediately afterwards
The theme of my autobiography. Ah, okay
We're getting I can't believe how quickly this time is gone
We're getting close to the end of our time
So the last couple of minutes. I always like to have shameless self-promotion
So we know we want people to come to the table because you guys are right next to each other in the corner
Today and tomorrow, but after this weekend
Give them social media give them websites give them the whole nine go

I fall flat on and
I've got a breath of work that means it needs to be needs to be shared more. I
There's I think in the in the in the whole ecosystem
That there's a lot of people that deserve and deserve that that marketing and and to put that pump that stuff out there
I uh, you also deserve to take up space Scott. Yes. Yes. I need to learn that so uh, uh, so you're wonderful

being an actor and
I retired on Thursday
From 16 years of child care. Yes. Yes. Yes. Uh
Thank you. It is very bittersweet because I do love it so much and and just being able to be goofy with the kids is actually helped me as a voice actor
