Jess is such a full character and has so many emotions moving through her. How would you describe the character of Jess Harding? Really, the biggest part of voicing Jess was to understand being a teenager and remember where she is really coming from. My vocal range is kids to adults so once I know the age range they need, I just adjust it. To be honest, I really connected with this character quickly. It’s not sooo long ago that I don’t remember what it’s like to be a teenager. Jess Harding is a teenager – how difficult is it to voice a character that is significantly younger than you are in real life? After seeing the ‘newer’ technology in Avatar, I can only imagine it will be awesome.
Personally, I am excited to see if they create another movie. Jurassic Park the franchise delivers that adventure… we get to go there! If you think about our culture, the majority of us love fantasy and jumping into unknown worlds in a very ‘real’ way. It just never gets old to imagine what it would be like if we had dinos in our modern day. I really don’t know the ‘right’ reason… My guess is that there are enough of us that find it a thrilling concept to be in a land of dinosaurs. I’ll be honest – that’s not my specialty. Why do you think the franchise has lasted for so long? I really like movies that take us to realities we haven’t been able to live in our lifetime. How familiar were you with the Jurassic Park films/books before accepting this role? Due to my vocal quality I also do boy characters, which is fun because I don’t get to do that with camera work. My specialty is natural, conversational, quirky, energetic, everyday people that don’t sound like they are ‘acting’. Yes, most of my VO background is in commercials. No, I don’t! Perhaps we’ve stumbled upon a deleted scene… Had you ever done any voice acting before? Come to think about it – I don’t think that scene ever got recorded for the game… do you remember seeing this in the game? One of the scenes was me landing in the nest. When I got the copy, I was super excited – I love the Jurassic Park movies and I thought it would be fun. You play Jess Harding in Jurassic Park: The Game – how did you secure this role? Before that, I was honing my skills in local sketch comedy, theatre, indie film and in acting classes. Professionally acting for about 3 years now. I like to work with clay and found objects. Odd how that kinda stuff happens, isn’t it? What else, I am an artist – I paint on canvas inspired by the flow of impressionism and also abstractism. I just recently started to like cooked carrots. I love juicing – it’s the best way to get in more veggies. I love dark chocolate, but I like my ice cream vanilla because I can create so many different concoctions. In my community of friends, I am known for my cat meows. I love to climb trees, to go for a good hike and do yoga. I tend to see the bright side of life, to find the lesson learned in a challenge and I love adventure, exploring and learning something new. Well, in just everyday life – I am the kind of person that sees the glass as ‘half full’, or else I am trying to figure out what is in the glass. Hey there! Thanks! A bit about me… oh geez – that is a very broad question.
