Chuck’s

Tip of the Week provides an easy way to get rid of clicks in your audio

tracks. Guest Lori Alan, voice of Pearl the Whale on Spongebob

Squarepants and Momma on Henry Hugglemonster, takes us back to how she

got started as a performer and voice actor. She explains how taking a

class with Charlie Adler and Chris Zimmerman changed her life and lead

to booking her first animated series, Swat Cats, with veteran voice

actors Tress McNeille and Frank Welker.

We discuss some of Lori’s

current projects like the new Disney series Henry Hugglemonster and the

process she went through to create her character in the show, Momma.

Lori offers some insights on the ways she’s gotten through the rocky

times in her career and credits taking some kind of class as the way she

keeps her instrument in good shape, as well as a positive attitude.

She

brings some of her favorite characters to life like Pearl, Diane, Momma

and The Boss and explains how using some of her real life experiences

helped her book the Valspar TV campaign. By taking the advice of mentor

Charlie Adler and some of her own wisdom, Lori talks about the skill

sets and attitudes she feels are helpful for being a voice talent in the

business today.
