Interview with Kari Wahlgren, voice of Dorothy in Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz

KCUR has a fabulous and extensive interview with Kari Wahlgren, voice of Dorothy (and Ozma!) in Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz.



In the interview, they talk about Kari's Kansas upbringing, what playing Dorothy means to her, and how voice acting is different from other methods of performing.

Playing Dorothy:

It's been kind of a dream come true. There was something about this one that was very emotional. 
Getting at the heart of her character is the important thing. She has a very, very strong sense of friendship and loyalty. She's very compassionate.


On the freedom of voice acting:

You're not limited by what you look like or your age. I'm going through a phase right now where I play a lot of babies and grandmas on cartoons.


Listen to the full audio interview here, which includes a charming on the spot demonstration of Kari voicing Dorothy and Ozma.
