Cartoon Voices: Questions with Susan Sheridan

There's been a lot of awareness of the type of voice work you can do (down to Ted Williams perhaps?) so I thought I'd speak to someone who knows their stuff about doing voice work for commercials, cartoons and dubbing.

Susan Sheridan did children's voices in kids TV in the 80s and 90s.

Clips: Moomins (TV series 1990), The Black Cauldron (Walt Disney 1985), Noddy's Toyland Adventures (TV series 1992). This is some heavily nostalgic stuff!

I find it so amazing that you're mother's a well known voice-actress. I loved Noddy when I was a kid & still love the Disney film, The Black Cauldron.

I hope to get into the acting industry one day & do acting in voice & live-action. There are many actors & voice-actors that inspire me to get into the acting industry & your mother, Susan Sheridan is on the list.

@Raptormon132 Amazing, I have to show her your comment, she'll be really touched! :)

OMG just finished watching Midsomer Murders on ITV1+1 'A sacred trust'. I was sure that one of the nuns looked familiar and voila, Susan Sheridan's name on the end credits. What a surprise and delight that was. :D

@Tozzywozzy01 Yeah that's her! I must say it was a bit weird to watch her all... dead... like that!

Who voiced who in the Moomins? I've been trying to find out for ages and have bumped into this.

[straightfromschool]

@ewanjf All I know is that my mum voiced Moomin Troll, don't know the others. I'm sure it'll be on IMDB or something?

Shes your mum haha, wow that was actually a hollywood movie ending right there, wasn't expecting it at all.

@straightfromschool

Well, that's great news. In fact there's something that I need to know about Grant Bardsley, the guy who played Taran in The Black Cauldron. Your mother knew him & is probably the only one who knows. ...Did Grant Bardsley have a disability?

I remember looking at the special features of The Black Cauldron on DVD & there was a picture of the director over Grant's shoulders, pointing out his lines & the look on his face looked like someone with a disability.

So strange to hear Tricia McMillan's voice come out of Princess Eilonwy.

Wow, I just read her wikipedia page! You're mentioned, lol.

I love how this video just really reminded me of my childhood with Noddy, Moomin and The Black Cauldron clips.... She's done so much in her career.....please pass on the message that she basically made my childhood possible! Refering to Noddy as slightly indignant made me smile!

[TinselFairy]

she's your mom? wow was not expecting that. i was wondering why you seemed so comfortable and familiar with her.
