Spooky Season ~Scary Story Week!
I decided to become a total witch…
Ali Kat
I am so proud to play this little character. Ali is the newest member of Lucky Kat World and she has a major nut allergy.
The (can’t mention the name) Video Game
Chris Borders directed a fabulous session yesterday. We had a great time giving the characters voices and attitudes. He is so awesome to work with! Unfortunately, I am not allowed to mention the title, as it’s a big franchise, until it’s released. However, he said I could post this picture of us in the booth!…
New Video Game
Today I am going in to record a couple of characters for a giant video game franchise. I’m not allowed to say anything yet. However, I’ll try to take pictures and hopefully post more tomorrow!
Paying Homage to the Designer
My 2013 Road to the Red Carpet is complete. The Oscars paid homage to the designers on the red carpet and I wanted to follow suit here. So, to the incredible Alina Pizzano: From Concept to Couture, I present The Ribbon Dress.
Red Carpet Follow Up Fun
I met a wonderful photographer, Billy Bennight, at the Annie Awards. These are some of his images. He wrote an article for LA Beat about the event. Click here on Billy to read his Annie experience! It is an award show like no other! Another photographer, Shelly Waldman, asked to do a photo shoot about the…
Red Carpet at The Annie Awards
Check out the first shot of my Alina Pizzano on the Red Carpet. 2013 Annie Awards. Hair and Make up by Kathleen Hagen. Haute couture and comfort. This dress is a dream! More photos to come.
The Hosts for the Annie Awards!
Comedy always has a rule of 3, and this year are we in for a treat! Rob Paulsen, Maurice LaMarche, & Leonard Maltin, will all 3 host the 40th Annual Annie Awards! And for the comedy 4th, a special appearance from Seth Green. I can’t imagine a better night of animation, fun, laughs and awards! Saturday night, February…
Count Down to Annies 2013
The awards show is this weekend and my Alina Pizzano dress is looking amazing. The artistry is beyond words. Pictures can tell you the colors, but can only hint at the texture and flow. Shelly Waldman a lovely gal and fabulous photographer, is shooting some “making of” shots & video, and will also be joining…
Art Couture-Road to the Red Carpet 2013
Less than 2 weeks to the 40th Annual Annie Awards! The excitement is building and my dress is getting closer to the red carpet, stitch by stitch! Actually, my Pizzano design took a special, multi-needle machine to sew & create several 3-dimensional panels. The design is a work of art, the likes of which I’ve never seen! Each panel…
Annie Nod to Mark Vulcano
I am so excited for my good friend Mark Vulcano. He and the animation team he leads at Heavy Iron Studios, are up for an Annie Award for their work on the video game, Family Guy – Back to the Mutiverse . I’ve known Mark for years and this guy really knows his way around special effects…
The inside of couture-Road to the Red Carpet 2013
Now construction begins. Seriously, this is the inside of haute couture. Or in my case, the inside of my bodice. Alina has built the bodice of the dress and has put it on me inside out. She is nipping and tucking and making it fit like a glove. However, she also has to make sure it isn’t too tight,…
What are the Annie Awards?
When I tell people I am the announcer for the Annie Awards, people usually say, “the what awards?” And I usually reply, “It’s the highest award for animation, like the Oscars are for movies.” However; the Annie Awards are for all mediums of animation from film to television to video games to commercials and student films. Often…
Annie Nod for Beans
I want to send a shout out to my friend Matt Beans for his Annie nomination on Robot Chicken’s ‘DC Comics Special’ – Stoopid Buddy Studios. It’s just so much fun to make fun of super heroes and super villains. Thanks for the great laughs! Keep ’em comin’. Wishing you good luck on February 2nd.
Concept to Couture 2013
Alina Pizzano pulled out her dream book and designed something long, stunning, and 3D just for me. Here is the sketch of the dress. It doesn’t show the cape off the left shoulder, that can be wrapped around me to keep the February chill at bay. (It gets really cold on the Red Carpet!) The swatch is a sample…
Road to the Red Carpet #1
I met the very talented Alina Pizzano at her shop and we went over some sketches. Her gowns are divine and her drawings for my dress, exquisite. However, I am no Angelina Jolie. I just couldn’t see myself in a sultry, tight, mermaid cut gown. I tried one on once and the lovely flare that was supposed to flare…
Ringtone – Moo-Feelin’ silly Friday
How does Farmer Brown call his “hot” farm animals? Brown chicken, Brown cow. (Okay, think “bow chicka bow wow” from old porn or 70’s movies) Honestly, this is the silliest thing ever, but it’s so much fun to watch kids crack up over animal sounds and bovine farts.
RIngtone thinking of my mom today

Another Episode of Annoying Orange
“Founding Fruits” a hilarious and educational (hahahaaa) fruitastical rendition of our revolutionary war. These guys are crazy fun. A total blast to work with. The last airing of this episode is July 19th on Cartoon Network. (8pm-PST) Annoying Orange shows regularly on Monday nights 8pm/7central. Or go to Cartoon Network to catch missed episodes and…
Ring – Your Mother
This is your mother calling…. Oh did I feel sorry for my not-quite-out-of-the-closet-yet, friend. He was hosting a small dinner party at his apartment and introducing us to his new “friend” when the phone started ringing. Having company, he let it go to the machine. Unfortunately, the speaker was up and we all got a lovely…
Ringtone – This is a Test
“This is a test.” Well, you asked for it loud….Of course I’ve included a gentle warning before the “sound.” Nothing got you off the couch at 2am or jarred you awake on those cross-country drives; before CDs, books on tape, iPods or Sirius Radio, like those totally obnoxious test tones. Fortunately, there was never an emergency, but…
Ringtone-Important
On Monday’s, don’t you ever want to ignore a call, but you just don’t know if it’s important? Well, here is a simple and funny ringtone to let you know.
Ring – White Zone
The white zone…. I was announcing the Annie Awards a year or so ago, and Tom Kenny was hosting. He was so gracious to introduce me to the audience, as the voice they’d been hearing all evening. He then asked me to do that thing that I do that he really likes, “You know, that thing.”…
Ring – Pick Up
A fan favorite! Pick up or delivery??? I went into my favorite, local, Chinese restaurant. Tonight I chose to dine in and was totally entertained with the owner’s phone conversation. Apparently, there was a bad connection and the owner was really trying to find out if the customer wanted pick up or delivery. And I thought,…
Ringtone-UGLY
Oh yea! The mean girl cheer! Ready…Okay! While traveling through some remote cities in Budapest, I caught a local game of Football. They actually had a rally squad on the side lines. The tune they were cheering was really catchy and soon we were all caught up in the spirit! It was so much fun…
