The interview you've all been waiting for!!!!

*Raph* · 05-08-2006, 02:19 PM

Today I finally had the chance to interview Renae Jacobs, the original 1987 April O'Neil. Little is known about her, so an interview was a logic thing to do, since she never did one (thats what she said )

So I'm the first, how special huh!
You all asked for it so here is is!!

Ooh! Very nice, Raph. I enjoyed that.

Great interview, dude. It really got my attention. One question: How'd you get ahold of Renae? I'm just wondering cuz I'd like to interview a voice actor from the OS one of these days.

*Raph* · 05-08-2006, 05:53 PM

Hi cowabunga14,

I encourage that you wanna do interviews and all.
There are so many people to reach: Cam Clarke, Pat Fraley, Rob Paulsen.

The thing is ( and I already told this when I got her autograph) She asked me to keep her contact info private, and I respect that.
So I'm sorry!

He wasn't asking for her information; he was wondering how exactly you get ahold of all of these people.

*Raph* · 05-08-2006, 06:12 PM

Well like I said, many actors have webpages. I used those and IMDBPro, and thats how I started. I got in contact with more and more people and through some I got hold of other TMNT actors.

*cowabunga14* · 05-08-2006, 06:44 PM

Did you call Renae or e-mail her? I'm on patfraley.com right now and it says I can e-mail him, call him, or fax him. I dunno which one I should use, but I was thinking I could use the same method as you did.

*Raph* · 05-08-2006, 06:53 PM

Yes! thats a start, My first try was with Cam Clarke, and we still email.
I always use email cause I'm from Holland. So calling would be a bit expensive!

Good Luck!

I had always whanted to become a voice actor myself. sens I don´t really have a face for tv or movies.

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 05-09-2006, 12:00 PM

WOW, GREAT JOB!

I applaud you for your perserverence to get a hold of the TMNT VA's, and finally we know the face behind the voice of Renae Jacobs. Well done m8!

*Raph* · 05-09-2006, 04:13 PM

Thank you Foot Clan Major,

I really want to get noticed and nowadays I push my 'Being a TMNT fan' over the edge. There are still many more people in the pipeline. Also from the movies. Ofcourse every little progress will be shared with you guys!

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 05-09-2006, 07:22 PM

LOL Raph, the thing that amazes me here, is that i think i'm a pretty hardcore fan of TMNT, but there's so many more into it than me, like i don't hunt down TMNT merchandise, i don't collect the toys anymore.

You must be 5 times the hardcore fan that i am, and it's good to know. I've been a member here since 2004, but i discovered this forum in 2000, and it's good know other dudes share your passion of the turtles. Good luck on more of your future missions to interview the people behind the cartoon.
