AP 1.How did you hear about the role for Rini/Mini Moon? I read that the  voice director for the seasons you were in, spoke only French - do you  speak French?

SBB: For about a year and a half I was a host on a morning show in Toronto. My unique little voice started to get lots of attention and soon there was interest from voice agents floating in. Before I had even signed with them, my agency sent me to the Sailor audition... my first voice audition ever! I was nervous, had no idea how to dub a voice (it's much more complicated than just a regular voice job). I did my best and left with tears in my eyes feeling like I did an awful job!  A few days later I got the call that they wanted me for the role.. I signed with the agency soon after :)

Yes, my director Nicole... she was an incredible woman. She spoke more than enough english to get direction across and my 4 years in french immersion came in handy :)


AP. Wired Al has made a lucrative career out of parody songs, have you  ever though of doing another "The Real SugaBayBee" type parody?

SBB: I think about it all the time. That was so long ago now,  way back in 1999, that I recorded the song. "Crazy!"  It was a great success and I would love to see if  I could out do myself! Any suggestions? :)


AP. What was your reaction, when you were asked to be the opening act for  Destiny's Child? Were you nervous about opening?
 

SBB: It was their first Canadian concert if you can believe it... I was nervous, not really about opening for them, just about performing the song. I knew the song with no problems, but the choreography was crazy. I'm the furthest thing from a professional dancer so trying to get any moves down was,  well impossible. I would do it again in a second though.

AP. Describe an average day in the life of Sug?

SBB: That's so hard to do. Everyday is so different. My schedule allows me to have an amazingly scrambled life. YTV days are long and wonderful... at the office by 9 am to get the show prepared, handle politics, make props - whatever that day's shoot calls for. A  never fail, very fun lunch hour with my favorite people (Carlos, Simon & producers Lisa and Buttery). Then straight to make-up for a relaxing 40 minutes of pampering with Debb.  Then straight to studio where we shoot the Zone. After that, I hopefully have an audition or two. Have something delicious for dinner then get home around 9pm to get ready and find myself at a Toronto party at night. Busy huh? :)

Some of my favorite days, are the ones where I spend my time behind a microphone lending my voice to a character or sitting at home reading a script.

AP. Out of all the characters you have voiced, which one can you relate to the most?

SBB: I think my character Kara on Di Gata Defenders. She's the youngest in the talented crew of teenagers and she's definatly the tiniest, but she believes she's just as tuff as the rest of them and eventually proves she's tougher. I love her :)

AP. What current projects are you working on?
 

SBB: Di Gata Defenders, Spider Riders, Captain Flamingo, and Harry and his Bucket full of Dinosaurs to name a few.

AP. Being in your twenties with such a high voice, what kind of things have you encounter?

SBB: I can honestly say I've been received well my whole life, so my voice has never been a hindrance only a blessing. All the things I have encountered have been positive, radio, work, voice work... so I guess my answer is I've encountered blessings.

AP. Right now, what music would we find in your MP3 or CD player?
 

SBB: I'm listening to the New Jay-Z album, From Kingdom Come. I listen to it everyday in my car.


AP Who are your role models, personally and professionally?

SBB: I have so many -  Professionally: Director Little X, Natalie Portman, Garry Marshall, King Solomon.
Personally: My family.

AP. Tell us something about Sag, which you would like your fans to know?
 

SBB: I want you all to know, I am so thankful for all I have and I don't know why I deserve the treasure of even having fans! I love you, you are a gift and I am grateful.
