Tori, I remember you would tell 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:38.400 these really funny stories and I was like, she's so bold. 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:41.600 She just says whatever she feels like saying. And I 0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:45.760 was so new that I for me, it was really 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:50.720 kind of freeing to see how real both. 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:51.040 Of you were. 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:54.720 Really everybody was backstage and being themselves, and Jenny, you 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:57.840 were so sweet. You always made me feel so welcomed, 0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:02.000 and it was so early in my career and having, 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:07.079 you know, come from my living room watching the show 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:12.200 being enamored and like, I don't know if obsessed is 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:14.480 the right word, but like I watched every week. 0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:16.040 I was such a fan of the show. 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:18.880 Everybody was like, that's not something that's like, oh, really 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:23.480 you were, but I was so excited and nervous, and 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:28.360 every time I came you were both so kind and 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:29.400 welcoming and. 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:31.240 Good. 0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:33.519 So thank you all these years later. 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:38.480 No, thank so. How did so you auditioned for the show? 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:43.000 Did you know how many episodes it would be? Back here? No? 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:46.839 And I don't, to be honest, I don't know if 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:51.440 they did. I think Larry created Ellen. So my whole 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:58.480 backstory here is that my career began with a phone 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:02.120 call from a cousin I didn't know I had. Okay, 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:05.520 if so, Jessica kleinb Yes, I win. 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:09.440 I missed her so much right before I was Jen 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:12.800 and I were talking and I was like, memory serves, 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:18.120 there's some connections, family connections somehow, and I couldn't remember. 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:22.159 I was like my dad like and then right before 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:25.640 I was like, woa wait, Jessica. I think it's Jessica. 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:28.880 And then we're like, how do we ask or we 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:29.800 can't ask her this? 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:35.359 Right? Do you happen to know anybody? Yeah? 0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:39.560 So the story sounds kind of a little bit made up, 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:42.640 but I can't stress enough how true it is that 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:45.920 I got. I went to Tufts University, I graduated. I 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:49.679 was studying Shakespeare for the summer in New York and 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:53.840 after graduation, and I was this was my focus. I mean, 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:57.480 I'd always been writing, and I was directing in college, 0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:00.040 and I had all these wonderful interests singing. 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:01.760 But I knew I was just going to like go 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:02.960 for go for acting. 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:06.760 And I got a phone call and I really want 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:11.280 to stress out of the blue, and it went like this, Hi, 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:12.440 my name is Jessica Klein. 0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:13.360 I'm your cousin. 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:15.599 I was like, wait, stop, go back. She was like, 0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:20.039 I'm your okay, I'm your second cousin. Okay, my mother 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:24.640 got a photo of you from your grandmother. So Florence 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:26.560 is your grandmother and You're okay. The point is I'm 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:28.919 looking at a picture of you. This is how it started. 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:33.359 And I was like, wait, we're cousin. And then she says, 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:36.960 you know, I'm a TV writer, I'm producer, and you know, 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:39.880 I guess your grandmother gave your picture to my mother 0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:42.080 to see if I could do anything or if I 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:44.480 thought anything. And I have no idea if you're any good. 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:47.400 But I see something in your picture, but you could 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:50.720 be terrible. I have no idea. So she said, I'm 0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:55.560 going to send you and I'm still going like, this 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:59.240 is a family member. And at some point she mentioned 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:02.480 that she was working a nine or two and hour 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:06.919 and I was like, oh, oh, that's normal. That's I 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:09.760 get called like this every day. I just graduated from college. 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:10.239 It's fine. 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:12.840 Wait at any point, did you think this was a prank? 0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:17.480 Yes, except for that it felt like a prank, except 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:20.479 for the fact that she was naming family members, like 0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:24.000 specifically naming family members and then telling me her grandfather's 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:26.479 name and this was my grandfather's And I was like, okay, 0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:29.960 but it was you know, second cousin is not somebody 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:34.080 that you for me that I grew up, you know, knowing, 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:37.320 but here's this wonderful person who calls out of the 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:40.640 blue like a fairy godmother or a fairy god's sister. 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:44.680 By the time, you know, we became very very very close. 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:49.120 So she said, I'm going to send you to my 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:52.800 friend who is the head writer on One Life to Live, 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:56.920 Susie Budsoe Horgan, and she'll she'll tell me if you're 0:06:56.920 --> 0:07:04.960 any good like okay. So everything really started there. So 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:08.560 and I you know, started working very very quickly thanks 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:11.840 to justs and thanks to you know, being connected with 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:14.280 people who then said, yeah, we are interested in you. Yeah, 0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:16.000 we do want to have a little part for you 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:21.120 and create this role. And the casting director of One 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:23.600 Life to Live with like, you need an agent, yesterday, 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:27.400 Here are my such a ridiculous story. Here are my 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:30.640 five favorite agents. Go and tell them I sent you 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:34.280 and pick one. Like this is when I when because 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:36.840 I get interviewed because of voiceover stuff now and I'm 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:38.760 always like, kids, don't try this at home, Like this 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:40.160 is not a normal story. 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:42.200 It's just not normal. 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:46.000 But all of those things happened. And then I think 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:49.600 pretty early on in that maybe maybe a year later 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:54.040 there when auditions for Tracy were happening. 0:07:55.600 --> 0:08:00.720 Jess was like come out and an audition spoiler. 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:04.120 I didn't get it, But then a little while later 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:06.840 I do have, And it's a long time ago. I 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:09.600 have a memory of coming back in and reading for Ellen, 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:14.480 and then there she was. I know it's I do 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:18.080 get thought of a lot for really obnoxious meaning characters. 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:21.200 But but but it was really really fun to play 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:24.720 completely against my own type. And and I do remember 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:27.760 Larry maull and did create the role because he would 0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:29.680 always make jokes like up bringing her back. 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:34.200 Yes, so yeah, And it was a long It was 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:35.960 a long pause. 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:40.000 Between the Sorority episode, which was Pledging my love, I think, 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:44.559 and when all of a sudden, I'm they're hanging out 0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:47.960 with Dick and Dan Gautier. 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:02.760 Did you have any chemistry off camera with Dan? 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:08.000 I don't have a memory of that being something that 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:10.840 was like, I don't have a memory of that. 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:12.880 To be honest with you, I felt like on camera 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:13.320 was cool. 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:15.680 I feel like he and I gelled off camera, But 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:17.800 there wasn't like an off camera roman. 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:22.439 Because he was in teen Witch. He was very desirable 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:25.920 when he was younger. We just interviewed him and he 0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:29.280 was how funny was he? Jen? We had really best time, 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:33.240 like it was Yeah, and Jen didn't remember Dick died 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:37.800 and he spoiled it. Oh why would you do that? 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:38.600 That was fun? 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:41.120 Okay, So but after the show you went on to 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:45.640 do like hundreds of other roles like you and now 0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:47.920 you're doing a ton of voiceovers. 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:52.960 So tell us about that. How has that happened? 0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:57.640 So somewhere around the same time that all of this 0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:01.880 was happening, or maybe right there, for I had been doing, 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:03.960 you know, a bunch of different roles on soaps. I 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:06.200 was recurring on One Life to Live for a long time, 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:09.959 and and I played a role in another soap, and 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:14.040 this was and I always it's very hard for me 0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:16.480 to tell the story and not do the voice, so 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:20.560 please forgive me. It's a long time ago, and news 0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:25.480 is called borge and Joy got watch that, And so 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:27.400 no one was saying. 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:33.600 Yeah, it's amazing, Wow, what the characters ladies. 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:37.240 No, that's like one of my elderly lady voices. And 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:40.079 my dog is sleeping down there and his voice is 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:43.800 is I just want to feed my birds? 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:47.760 But but yeah, so I'll tell you about this. I'm 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:48.439 sure we'll get to it. 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:53.240 But voiceover for me was so freeing to find because 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:56.439 no one's gonna look at me and cast me as 0:10:56.559 --> 0:11:01.120 the giant monsters or villains or you know, tiny children, 0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:06.559 and I get to play anything. So it's really it's 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:09.480 really opened up so much space for me as a 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:11.280 person and as a performer. 0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:13.640 Were you doing voices as a kid? Like these are 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:16.199 not like these are crazy voices? 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:20.640 They are. I am, well, it's but. 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:22.880 I mean, as a kid, would you be like doing 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:26.280 all these different types of levels of voices of characters? 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:30.800 You know, my mom would always say that she was 0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:34.360 an enabler for me because she found me funny, which 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:37.280 was an error, right because then I'm just trying to 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:40.920 make her laugh all the time, and so she would 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:43.880 enjoy it if I would mimic her and make fun 0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:45.839 of her. So we would spend like an hour and 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:47.120 a half where I would do that and I would 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:51.679 imitate her voice. But that wasn't really the thing. In college, 0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:55.679 there was a roast of graduating seniors, and so they 0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:58.079 had me, you know, get into the center of the 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:01.600 stage and start doing imitations. And I didn't realize till later, 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:08.520 but those really were quite vocal, but my mom found uh, 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:12.040 there's an old recording of me as a tiny child 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:14.480 playing with a tape recorder and in the middle of 0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:18.240 telling a knock knock joke to myself, I changed voices. 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:21.959 So I think there's something there. But I'm also you know, 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:25.679 my I was trained as a classical stinger, so like 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:28.160 being aware of my voice and trying to figure out 0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:32.160 what it can do was very natural to me. But 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:36.599 I never ever thought about it as a profession. Like 0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:39.360 I don't think I thought that the cartoon, like, you know, 0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:42.520 into my twenties, like that's Garfield is Garfield, that's a 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:43.080 real cat. 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:44.840 I think resigna. 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:47.959 But I don't think it ever occurred to me that 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:51.000 that was a thing a person could do, like even 0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:55.440 just for fun, let alone for a living. But full 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:58.599 circle Tangent found. So there's just been goo of the 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:02.000 internet and nobody would saying don't read the comments. This 0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:06.280 was like eighteen forty two like this, nobody was saying, 0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:07.880 don't read the comments. 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:11.320 Or you'll get depressed, right right, So I'm like, whoa, 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:13.280 let's see what the fans think of me. And this 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:14.319 is the direct quote. 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:17.240 She is real pretty and all that I have to 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:20.160 turn the volume off on my TV because it's like 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:24.160 Alvin and the Chipmunks have invaded my living room. And 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:28.160 I was like, huh, first of all, you, second of all, 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:33.880 that sounds like an amazing career and I literally never 0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:34.439 thought of it. 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:37.520 And it is so part of the way my brain 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:39.240 works to sort. 0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:41.920 And it's a survival skill too, right to sort of 0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:44.880 take in, well, that's insulting, and also where's the gift? 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:47.199 What like, that's the shadow? Where's the light? 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:52.240 And I made a career of it. The insults I. 0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:57.720 Don't right, so and sometimes it's if that's the main deal, 0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:02.680 I know that has to be hard, right. So that's 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:07.600 why for me, finding this thing was more chasing joy, 0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:13.040 which is really that's kind of my I think that's 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:18.520 become my mo o more than anything else. It's like, 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:20.360 go where the energy is or go where the joy is. 0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:23.960 So I called my agents. I had agents at the 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:29.600 time back in New York. I'm still at the same agency, CEESD. 0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:34.040 They've been representing me for commercials and then voiceover for 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:38.840 you know, since eighteen forty two. And I said, hey, 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:40.800 you know, I'm out in LA doing some work right now. 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:43.080 But when I get back, can you try me out 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:45.600 of this video thing? Like somebody insulted me and I 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:47.120 think this might be cool and they were like okay, 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:50.400 and they sent me on my first audition and I 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:56.280 booked it and like never stopped working. Mock would hold 0:14:56.360 --> 0:15:01.360 on tree like and it was. It really was like 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:03.920 I know it sounds so cheesy, but like coming home. 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:08.440 I see every once in a while catch something that 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:12.240 I did on camera on TV or someone will tell 0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:14.760 me like, oh, look, here's a clip, and I catch 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:17.560 myself and I feel like I never saw you. 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:21.200 Guys doing this. You know, camera's here, and i'd be 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:21.880 talking to someone. 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:26.480 I'm like, yeah, like not looking, but just oh I 0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:28.720 have to make sure they can see my face and 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:31.800 I'm like sure, you're completely self conscious. 0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:34.680 I would have to be in a booth. Everything's in 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:39.960 my imagination. So that really did it, and I never 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:40.640 looked back. 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:44.080 I did on camera for a little while after that, 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:49.240 but when I started getting works as a voice actor 0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:51.440 and then also as a writer, it was so easy 0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:55.080 for me to just let go of on camera and 0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:59.360 then so that's really my performance life is in voiceover. 0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:00.560 Do you believe in karma? 0:16:00.880 --> 0:16:01.080 I do? 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:03.840 I sometimes I don't know that that's the word I use, 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:05.640 but I absolutely believe in karma. 0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:08.600 Now, just hearing your story from the beginning, I'm like, 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:13.600 you were really a kind, great human that didn't get 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:16.920 your just desserts into past life and just the way 0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:22.240 everything's unfolded. Obviously talented, but wow, these stories. I could 0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:24.680 listen to your stories all day. You do so much 0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:27.880 voice over work, can you give our listeners just a 0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:30.040 little insight into all your characters? 0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:32.880 All of them, every single one of them. 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:35.080 Run through your top. 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:36.200 Ones, every single one of them. 0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:41.960 I'm probably best known as playing Samantha Maxis in the 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:46.720 Call of Duty franchise, usually the Call of Duty Zombies franchise, 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:49.120 but then it kind of expanded in Call of Duty 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:50.000 Cold War. 0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:52.400 My boys are going to freak when they hear this. 0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:56.040 By the way, geez, she's you know. 0:16:57.000 --> 0:16:59.880 I also never imagined i'd be voicing video games. But again, 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:03.600 when I started, this wasn't really a place that you know, 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:09.960 voice actors were working so much. And again, like again, 0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:13.400 I'm a pretty peaceful person, and I've bad these characters 0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:17.560 who commit these terrible crimes, and like so so Samantha 0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:19.920 Maxis started as a as a little girl on the 0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:23.480 show show on the in the video games series, and 0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:26.800 then in Cold War they let me actually grow her 0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:30.000 up and I played her at thirty. So that's probably 0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:33.399 the role I'm most known for. I do voice a 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:36.720 lot of video games I've played. I was in Star 0:17:36.800 --> 0:17:39.879 Wars Outlaws as Ink, So that's a great That's a 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:43.719 great example of the dichotomy because NK is a chadraphon. 0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:46.560 She is like this big and she was a little 0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:49.840 older and she's like like a little like a rat, 0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:51.560 fuzzy tiny feature. 0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:53.280 Can you do Ank's voice for us? 0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:53.880 Well? 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:58.480 She she speaks in hottees, so I have to really 0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:05.359 remember my hot tea, oh something like that. 0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:09.560 It's all I remember. It was Bulira, I think is money. 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:15.480 And in Bayonetta three, I play bal Dabul, who was 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:21.480 a an opera singing demon frog. So like when I say, 0:18:21.520 --> 0:18:24.640 it's stuff that I would never get to doing, which yes, 0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:28.200 that was the first time I ever got to sing 0:18:28.600 --> 0:18:32.760 opera in uh a game, and that was something I 0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:35.600 thought it would never happen, and it was. 0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:37.960 It was really wonderful. I got to sing. 0:18:38.040 --> 0:18:41.320 Also in Call of Duty, there's an easter egg in 0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:44.240 in one map where I get to sing a song, 0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:48.840 but usually it's not opera that I get to sing. 0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:51.880 And that's my That's kind of like my first musical love. 0:18:52.840 --> 0:18:57.040 But I also I've been in Powerpuff Girls. Powerpuff Girls 0:18:57.240 --> 0:18:58.360 was a very early one. 0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:04.399 I played rob been Schneider and her her line that 0:19:04.720 --> 0:19:06.280 people sometimes remember is. 0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:15.320 Cory in too, that's so cool, You're so cool. 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:20.520 In Avengers Assemble, I played Crimson Widow. Uh in them. 0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:22.960 There's a movie Fixed that just came out. 0:19:23.240 --> 0:19:25.920 Yes, my kids want to see that.
