Welcome to the first part of my interview with voice actor and dialect expert, Eliza Jane Schneider.

You may remember in my previous interview with Zach Hanks, how he mentioned how much he appreciated Eliza's comprehensive dialect classes.

Based on Zach's comments, I thought it would be apropos to have Eliza on the podcast to speak with us.

Eliza has an amazingly long and diverse acting career. She started very young as an actress in both

school and community theaters. She parlayed her theatrical experience into on-camera acting

jobs in college and eventually into voice acting. She's probably most famous for

portraying almost all the female characters on the animated series South Park in the years

between 1999 and 2003. More recently, she's the voice of Agent Rama in the Agents of Mayhem

video game. She's played numerous characters in the animated

series Sanjay and Craig, and she's also in the animated series Breadwinners playing the Tooth Fairy.

In addition, Eliza and I have also been in a number of projects together, including Diablo

3, where I played the male wizard and she played the female necromancer,

and also the Pirates of the Caribbean video games, where I voice match Orlando Bloom to play Will Turner,

while she voice matches Kira Knightley to play Elizabeth Swan.
