The Tiffany Grant celebrity VA chat tonight was excellent! I think a later start time helped keep the number of people down; way down, in fact - not even 30 people this time compared to almost 90 for the Kyle Hebert chat. And, no offense to the Naruto fans, but I think having someone who wasn't involved with THAT show also helped.
Having Miss Grant on theOtaku was a real treat and it was a pleasure to read her answers to everyone's questions. Especially the kitten story. ^^
Since she's actually a VA who's been in several of my favorite anime, I had been wracking my brain all day for a good question. In the end, I came up with one related to Chrono Crusade.

Question: First, thanks for being here tonight, Tiffany. Asuka and Satella (Chrono Crusade) are very similar characters, both being haughty, redheaded Germans with troubled pasts. Did you approach playing Satella without thinking of Asuka, or did playing Asuka beforehand play any part in the way you played Satella?

Wow, what a great question!
» I suppose that every acting role is built in some part on the ones that have come before it
» But , truthfully, I approach each voice acting role as I do any acting role
» And that's with the idea that each character is a new and distinct person

Honestly, when we started working on Chrono Crusade, I thought Satella was much older than 17, so I purposely made her more mature
» But there is a big difference between 14 & 17, so I suppose that's OK
» I told my mom recently that it DID actually come in handy that I studied German instead of Spanish!!
I was very happy that my question got picked (Thanks, Beth!!), and that Tiffany liked it. ^^ Heh, and now I wish I'd taken German instead of Spanish, too. =P
And thanks to the person who asked a Noir-related question, because that show needs some representation. Tiffany is really good in the role of Altena.
And now, I ought to go to bed. I have to finish watching the Giant Gila Monster MST episode. ^^
