@tawnyplatis: Ariel’s voice from the little mermaid explained by a voice actor! Tomorrow: Ursula Ariel is a significant shift from every princess before her. She's brighter and more forward in placement than her predecessors and has a more mixed voice than pure head voice, with genuine emotional urgency behind her words. She still goes up in pitch when she's excited and she's still breathless and light, but there's actual want in the voice in a way that Snow White, Cinderella, and Aurora simply don't have. Her onsets are more committed, she lands on her words rather than floating over them, and her dynamic range is wider because she's actually reacting rather than performing composure. The Disney Renaissance was giving princesses permission to want things out loud for the first time, and you can hear exactly when that permission was granted. #voiceactor #voiceacting #disney #disneyprincess #movies

I got to meet Jodi Benson a few months ago. She’s just as nice in person as I thought she’d be.

yep :
my take is that she wasn't a boy crazy airhead but a serious anthropologist who made a huge sacrifice to pursue her obsession with the human world
the first princess to be truly in touch with her desire 🔥
