and I sure wish Cosmo and Wanda were here

to help me review some impressions.

- I wish I could go inside the internet.

- Here doggy doggy.

- What was that?

Didn't quite catch that.

- I'm hardcore.

- Hi Vanity Fair, I'm Tara Strong.

I'm an actress mostly known

for my animated voiceover roles,

like Timmy Turner from the Fairly OddParents,

Bubbles from the Powerpuff Girls,

Twilight Sparkle from My Little Pony,

Raven from Teen Titans

and Harley Quinn from the DC Universe

and today we're gonna hear some people do impressions

of my characters.

- So that's Megan, she's awesome.

I've met her.

I let her do her Timmy impersonation in this studio.

We shot a little vine video together.

- Hi, Timmy Turner.

- What are you doing? - Nothing.

- I'm Timmy Turner.

She's adorable and she's so brilliant

and she's probably one day gonna take all my jobs.

That impression was pretty close to perfect.

I would just say

she could go a little bit deeper in her register,

'cause I still hear like a little girly in her voice,

but it's not something she can't do.

Like if she did that again right now and I said,

"Go a little deeper."

She could do it.

So she's gunning for me, I see you Megan.

It's just that in this particular impression,

she's thinking a little bit too young

and she's doing like a little

♪ Obtuse, rubber goose ♪

It's just a little bit younger,

she could probably do a bang on like,

baby deal or a young Timmy,

but for the Fairly OddParents

Timmy still has to sound like a 10 year old boy.

So instead of going too cutesy,

you think teenage boy.

♪ Obtuse, rubber goose, green moose, guava juice ♪

Get little girl gestures and thought processes

out of your mind and really become a little boy.

When you think too cutesy,

it puts you in that different register,

where you can kind of break off into girl territory

and we definitely need to know that Timmy is a boy

that makes a lot of mistakes like boys do.

I wish I was inside the internet.

- I don't believe in luck, but I do subscribe

to the theory of horribly inconvenient coincidences.

I wish I could go inside the internet.

- Maddie, what a great job.

She sounds a lot like Timmy Turner,

I would say her only flaw was the same as Megan's

where it still sounds like a little girl.

She rushed it a little bit.

So I think if she slowed down

and just went a little bit lower in her register

and add a little bit more rasp.

Timmy has a little bit more rasp

than she did in that last impression.

When you watch her you can see that she's into it.

But she's thinking more of the voice.

I want her to think more of the moments.

When you think of the Fairly OddParents theme song

and you think

♪ Obtuse, rubber goose, green moose, guava juice ♪

Wow, picture all those things.

Each word is important.

Each syllable in animation is important.

And she can get there too.

If she was in my studio I'd have her there like that.

She's gunning for me too, I can see.

He's not stupid, he's my friend

and I should have treated him better.

- He's not stupid, he's my friend

and I should have treated him better.

- So she also sounds a lot like Timmy Turner,

all these people are so close,

I'm so touched that it's inspired all these people

to do impressions.

She's actually too pinched, too high.

So I would say to in her case, relax the rasp a little bit.

When you do Timmy Turner, you are pinching your vocal cords,

you need to make that raspy sound.

But she's doing it so much that it's up here

a little bit too much.

So again, she's gotta lower her pitch a little bit.

There's a rhythm to how boys talk.

So she's going a little bit too fast.

She needs to slow it down

and have a little more highs and lows

and not just all appear really fast.

And maybe it's a challenge

of someone doing something for YouTube

as opposed to being in an actual studio

and visualizing all those moments.

Because if she really took the time

to think about those moments,

I shouldn't have done that

almost act it like you're acting on camera.

He was my friend,

and that will bring you into those boy moments

instead of sort of looking in the camera and saying,

"He was my friend, I should have done this."

He was my friend, I should have done that.

Even if you're speaking higher or faster,

if you're imagining those moments,

they're gonna translate more

and they're gonna get you more into that pocket.

So I think the people doing impressions

and it may be they're not imagining

they're in each of these animated worlds.

I'm just as tough as Blossom and Buttercup.

I can handle the rough stuff too.

- I'm tough, I'm just as tough as they are,

I'm hardcore.

Hi, I'm Bubbles from the Powerpuff Girls.

[indistinct]

She's talking to squirrels again.

- Oh, my gosh, she's so cute.

That is a great Bubbles.

It sounds just like her totally.

I would say again for her to slow down the acting beats.

Bubbles has this funny thing

where she pronounces words funny, like picky.

So when she's like,

I'm just as tough as Blossom or,

she needs to slow it down.

I'm just as tough as Blossom and Buttercup.

Buttercup, see how it got a little bit weird

where I put the T.

There's little like weird inflections that Bubbles has

that would get her from her pretty awesome impression

to even greater.

So slow it down, imagine all the moments,

take every syllable.

I'm just as tough as Blossom and Buttercup, I'm hardcore.

Even though Bubble's voice lives in a high register,

she drops down from it periodically.

So that would help to capture her musicality

if she didn't always stay up high all the time

and she came down a little bit

I think it would sound even better,

but that's pretty darn close.

I'm just as tough and strong and mean

as Buttercup and Blossom

and I'll prove that I can be hardcore.

- I'm just as tough and mean as Blossom and Buttercup,

I'm hardcore.

- She's great too, it's pretty close too.

The only thing I can see she's doing with her mouth

is she's making her a little too babyish.

Even though Bubbles is super cute,

she almost has to fight the baby.

It's almost like you can't play her too cutesy

or it doesn't work,

you almost have to play against the cutesy with a cute sound

if that makes any sense.

So instead of thinking like this,

if you're thinking like this, I'm hardcore.

It's naturally gonna kind of take her down,

again, she can find a few more places

to go a little bit lower,

even though it's a high pitch sound.

I know this is probably very confusing.

Just because Bubbles is small

doesn't mean her moments are small.

I'm just as mean and tough as everybody else.

She still has to have that real determined sound.

It's not all baby,

it has to have a bunch of different layers,

but vocally she's like, and totally pitch wise,

she's really close.

You have to have highs and lows in your acting

to keep the audience engaged

and keep the character authentic.

When you speak in your own voice,

there's a musicality to it.

It's like you're singing a song with words.

So you wouldn't always speak like this

or people would be really bored with you talking to them.

So think of how you have highs and lows in your own world

and then bring that forth with your character work.

I'm still getting his drool off my face.

I don't want him anywhere near my brain.

Here doggy.

Here doggy, doggy.

- I'm still getting his drool off my face.

I don't want him anywhere near my brain.

Here doggy.

Here doggy, doggy.

- Brizzy is awesome.

She's off and running on her own voiceover career

so she's doing great.

To make Raven even more perfect,

it's already pretty perfect,

is to not have anything forced or pinched at all.

She doesn't have any nasal quality to her.

For Raven you actually have to try less

than people think you do.

That guttural roll isn't always there when she speaks

it kind of fluctuates in and out

so she does have some highs and lows,

way less highs and lows than any other character I do.

In fact, Raven's challenge is in high action sequences

to maintain the voice

because if you get too excited,

you can't keep that guttural roll.

So I would say less nasal, more natural.

Sit back a little bit on the roll

and just like let it flow,

but you can see like, acting wise,

she's in the right pocket.

It's super close.

She could play Raven.

I know this isn't my style,

but we just kicked Slade's butt,

shouldn't we celebrate or something?

- Evil be where we have waffles,

azarath metrion zinthos.

I know it isn't really my style,

but we just kicked Slade's butt,

shouldn't we celebrate or something?

- It's the same sort of category as Brizzy

where it's just a little bit too forced,

a little bit too nasal.

If you just sit back,

it's also a great impression, by the way,

but if she just sits back on a little bit

and doesn't push so hard or tries so hard.

There's no pinch sound when you do Raven.

When you do Timmy Turner there's a pinch sound.

But when you do Raven, there's no pinch sound.

Raven almost needs to sound like

it's a chore to speak, it's boring.

So if you sound pushed,

or you sound like you're trying to be a teenager

or you sound upbeat,

it's not gonna sound like Raven.

And you really have to think about

what's gonna get her upset,

what's gonna inspire her,

what's gonna make her nervous,
