GREY GRIFFIN TALKS "TEEN TITANS GO! VS. TEEN TITANS" & MORE (VIDEO)
Grey Griffin has been voicing animated characters for so long there is no way you have not heard her voice before. Daphne on Scooby Doo and Guess Who, Donna Troy on Young Justice, Wonder Woman and Lois Lane on DC Superhero Girls, and Puppycorn on Unikitty! all have been brought to life by the silky smooth vocal talents of Grey. Way back in July I had the chance to hang with the delightful Ms. Griffin on her way to the world premiere of Teen Titans Go! Vs. Teen Titans at San Diego Comic Con 2019. Ms Griffin told me about her latest role, the villainous Mrs Claus. and how she feels about finally getting into a Teen Titans Go! project:
“I always wanted to be part of Teen Titans Go! So when I found out I got to be a part of it I was so excited. Then I was like ‘Mrs. Claus? How is she in this movie?’ I realized what a crazy story and how interwoven everything is. (Switching voices) “And Mrs. Claus is a very, very mean Mrs. Clause. She’s not nice. You expect her to be baking cookies, but no!…. “
Griffin continues-
“I've been doing , like, crazy characters in theater, and all through my voice over career for so long, you just pull from different things. When I first heard I would be playing Mrs. Claus , I thought I would play her little bit more like that nice little old lady. But no. She’s not nice at all.”
Griffin is just glowing with adorableness, so I had to ask her how hard it was to play suchan evil version of Mrs.Claus?.
“I have a long history of playing villains. I played Azula on Avatar: The Last Airbender, and I played Vickie on the Fairly OddParents. So, I’ve been being mean to Tara (Strong) for quite some time. I just fell right into this villain. ….Villains are so satisfying because you have to pretend to be nice all the time, and it's so exhausting. We all know who we really are inside.”
have always wanted to be part of Teen Titans Go! I've played Mandy on The Grimm Adventures of Billy and Mandy, and she sounds a lot like Raven. So, I was doing that voice all the time and people would say “Are you Raven?” and I would say “Yes, I was.”
After 20 years in the industry and so many characters, there has to some characters left that Grey has yet to play that she would like to?
….”I have always loved Snow White, and Vintage. ... Grey starts singing in a Snow White voice, ‘And I used to do the voice, and all these little men. I’m wishing, I’m wishing, for the one I love.’ I love Snow White and I've always wanted to do that. When the voice match comes around again I’m going to try.”
