A few questions with Rachel Luttrell:
AF: I love how engaged you were with the character, and I know you are voicing a novel for an author right now. What is it that you love about voice work?
RL: I love VO because you can inhabit characters that you would never get the chance to perform on camera. I have always loved singing and playing with my voice is an extension of that. VO allows for that kind of play!
AF: What kind character is your favourite to portray?
RL: Hmmmm… my favorite character… That’s a tricky one. So many characters. Some intriguing with little screen time. Some on stage some on camera. There are even characters that I have only had the privilege of performing in class that I loved. But the character of Teyla was very fulfilling and fun. Teyla has certainly brought me the most love back. I am eternally grateful for that.
AF: What did you think of Wyatt & the Whog? (gratuitous begging for compliments here. Lol.)
RL: This story was so fun! My daughter, Ridley, just loved it. She wanted more! I love that it’s so accessible for all ages. What’s going to happen next? It reminds me of The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. Stumbling into a new dangerous realm as told from the perspective of a child.
