‘TV is so condensed’

…says Hollywood actor Lucy Liu who has done the voice over for a TV show character

Actor Lucy Liu has been associated with television version of the popular Kung Fu Panda series. The show called Kung Fu Panda: The Legend of Awesomeness is currently being aired on Sonic channel, and has Lucy give the voice for the character snake (Viper). Excerpts from an interview: How is voicing for a TV show different from voicing for a feature film? Well, a feature film takes a much longer time. It can happen over a span of years! For TV you can do a session for five episodes in one sitting. TV is much more condensed and a much higher volume. Had you done any other voicing work? I had done some voiceovers for Mia Miguel and Clifford the Big Red Dog; I’d done a couple other voiceovers for kids show but not for feature film. Tinkerbell was to be released as a feature film but now it’s going straight to DVD. How would you describe Viper? Viper is very sweet. She was born without fangs, which is something people don’t know about her — but she’s made up for it by being a deadly viper! What interested you to voice this character? They approached me for the movie way back and showed me some incredible images and graphics. I thought it was a brilliant idea — a panda as a dragon warrior! We had discussed doing the TV show but we didn’t want it to interfere with the movie sequel, so we held off on it for a while.
