Andrea Libman Q&A at Fushicon

Andrea Libman (The voiceactor behind Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy) recently did a full 44 minute Q&A at Fushicon.  Luckily, someone recorded the whole thing with a surprisingly high quality cell phone camera. 

Check the video out after the break, and go say how awesome she is on her new twitter page!

Pinkie and Fluttershy, some of the best of the mane 6. Along with Rarity, of course.

kaydashy said...

SweeTeeVee said...

I can hear the voices of the two best ponies when she talks... oh god.

Flutterfan said...

Yes she confirmed her Twitter! She seems so nice and very Fluttershy-like.

Muthesquirrel said...

X-Files cross over pics go! As if Pinkie needs to fake being a possessed killer...

A Pony Sat Nav voiceover?

ALL OF MY GOD DAMNED MONEY!!!!!!!

NakedKitten said...

Andrea Libman is best pony.

ettK said...

15:20 Oh my celestia.. Why did she bring that up? -.-

edock said...

She responded to me on twitter!!!! Made my day.

Flutteryay said...

Her natural voice is so adorable!

I almost stopped filming when she said she didn't like cameras. But I did ask before the Q&A if it would be ok. You can also see how nervous/excited I was when I got to ask my first question because the phone starts shaking even more then before :P

There were some other camera's as well I think, so there might appear videos that don't shake so much :P

DJB123 said...

I'd DL Fluttershy voice for my GPS.

Flutterfan said...

@Baree

Thank you so much for filming and posting this.

aJonathan said...

Who brought up clopping? Die in a fire.

And thanks baree

Jesse said...

Oh god she's like a real life Fluttershy.

@aJonathan

I'm sorry you had to see that, aJonathan. Would you mind posting the time code on the video so I never have to?

SuperGiantRobot said...

Jesus Christ. Even her real voice is cute.

Freekles1245 said...

15:20
She didn't...
She didn't...
She did.
WHY, WHY ASK SUCH A THING?!

Coolblue said...

I wish she coulda done a Pinkie Pie voice impression.

Jesse said...

And then I got to the bit where they asked about clopping.

God I hate the fandom sometimes.

Infusions said...

"Gross."

There. Are you happy? Now that question NEVER has to be asked again!

Kadreal said...

Silly EQD, you forgot that she also recently made a facebook page for us fans. Check it out: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Andrea-Libman/256050671110439

SingForTheMoon said...

She said She doesn't have any ponies and she wants some in front of a whole room full of fans, and that has now been broadcast on EqD...

Someone's going to be getting pile of ponies in the near future.

Flutterfan said...

How does nobody ask her to do Pinkie Pie's voice, except swearing which obviously she couldn't do. UGH BRONIES I AM DISSAPOINT.

Hubba_Bubba said...

@Baree

I can't help but hear you have a Dutch accent :) Did you go to the UK just for this Fushi Con? If so, THANK YOU.

iamderpy said...

Dear whoever asked the comment about how she feels about middle-aged men fapping, I hope you die in a fire.

I can love and tolerate a lot, but to corrupt fluttershy... that's an inexcusable sin.

Flutteryay said...

Anybody who asked her a stupid question needs an acme brick to the head STAT.

Masquerade said...

Wow.
I love Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie as much as the next guy, but Libman's voice really grates on me.

V said...

HOLY FUCK ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS ASKED THE FIRST QUESTION!

Flutterfan said...

Why did the audience make such a fuss about "brony fan material"? Most fan stuff is awesome not dirty.

Over the Rainbow said...

She seems kind of above the fanbase. Like...to her it's another job, whereas to people like Mrs. Faust, this kind of thing is what they have a lot of pride in. I dunno, it's just my opinion, but she didn't seem prepared for questions like the ones she got.

Sugar Cube said...

Does anyone know if Ashleigh Ball, Tara Strong, or Tabitha Germain have Twitter accounts? If so, links please? :3

naahdude said...

What the christ is Fushicon?

edock said...

I was disappointed in the bronies a couple times..

1. about "fapping"
2. about asking pinkie pie to swear.

Brony, I am disapoint.

@Baree

Thank you for filming and posting this. Very awesome of you *brohoof*

Jesse said...

@Over the Rainbow

She also said that this was her first Con ever and that she had been totally unsuspecting, even unbelieving on the fanbase when she first heard of it.

What you seem to be taking as a arrogant aloofness is much more easily recognizable as nerves. To add to this, she is obviously making an effort to get more in touch with her fans, what with the new additions of Facebook and Twitter pages. Give the girl a break.

Flutterfan said...

@Sugar Cube

Tara Strong: @TaraStrong

Nicole Oliver (Celestia, Cheerilee): @mouthnoize

That's all the VA on Twitter I believe.

ndrazzar said...

I dont know what fushicon is, but a 44½ minute long Q and A is sure awesome

Sugar Cube said...

Thanks Flutterfan. :)

Baree said...

@Hubba_Bubba

Indeed I did. I can't even stand anime in general. So worth it! Was an easy enough decision, when would she be in Europe again?

naahdude said...

@Flutterfan

Pinkie's singing voice, Shannon Chan-Kent, has a twitter too: @ShannonCKent

Tears of a Valedictorian said...

@Flutterfan


Think there's one more: @ShannonCKent

Andrea Libman seems genuinely really nice and is making an effort to reach out to the fans now she knows there's a fanbase out there. But coming out to another country on your own for your first convention ever (and it's a solo keynote Q&A) must be pretty nerve-wracking

Flutterfan said...

Finished listening to it.

It definitley awkward at times but still a treat to see what Andrea Libman looked like in person.

I think the whole thing could've been so much better if the questions were prescreened, like it was Presidential debate.

I mean you have the voice of PINKIE PIE & FLUTTERSHY for a set amount of time, you gotta make the best use of it. I hate when someone asked a question you knew she couldn't answer.

A seasoned convention pro like Tara Strong would be able to take a awkward or open question and make a joke or something but not someone like Andrea Libman.

Oh and we need some security guard bronies with big clubs to discourage fapping or any other inappropriate questions at BroNYcon.

SuperGiantRobot said...

@iamderpy
What sort of inbred fucknut would EVER think that was a good question to ask?

Harlan Wade said...

You guys should all see Lauren Faust's DeviantArt page if that one question pissed you off. People ask poor Faust about all of the bad things you can think about this fandom all the time.

Stargazer said...

She's so adorable and cute lol!

Infusions said...

@Flutterfan
I thought the SAME exact thing!

Unknown said...

Must be an iPhone.

kaydashy said...

jokes on you random lady at 15:20! im not middle aged or a man nor do i fap to my little pony but i am full on brony! or pegasister whatever!

SpeshBun said...

the dude at 19:00... I mean come on, that's not cool.

*sigh* said...

@SpeshBun

What was so bad about asking her to use Fluttershy's voice to say "carpenters"? I mean, it's silly, but not bad...

Phantom240 said...

Even her natural voice makes me D'awww

I bet dirty talk is awkward....

ToTheMoonYourHighness said...

I'll forgive the Pinkie swearing question as she set herself up for that one. But the lady who asked the awkward clopping question needs to be loved and tolerated into a fire >=(

Flutterfan said...

Everyone going to BroNYcon take note. If you ask her to say a specific Fluttershy/Pinkie line from the show odds are she's not going to remember it as it's been like 3 years since she did the line.

Just ask for her to say something random like the Fluttershy GPS question.

Flutterguy said...

She seems so much more like fluttershy then pikie pie

Treebohr said...

When she was asked to swear as Pinkie Pie, my first thought was that they were asking her to recite the Pinkie Pie Swear.

Biel3g said...

who uploaded the video cames at this blog so often? because that should be a very nice thing if the video have subtitles. english aren`t my main language and if the voice quality isn`t perfect, i get a hard time trying to understand all perfectly

Alex Castro said...

Holy... How can she be so adorable IRL as well xD
That question at the 15~ish minute was really off, and unwelcome, I kind of feel sorry for the guy/girl that made it because If I were there I would have been one of the people who shun at him/her :1 Then again, what kind of question is that -_-

ponponpinkie said...

can i marry you now? kthanksbye

SoFDMC said...

@ettK

15:20

Woman asks Fluttershy about fapping.

MASSIVE FAIL

Now in her mind she will think brony = perverted gross wanker every time she records her voice in the studio.

I fucking hate that bitch.

Koji said...

I can already feel the friendship canon charging... The girl that asked that question better stay in doors for the next few weeks till this all blows over.

minty said...

@SoFDmc yes exactly! imagine what sort of ridiculous impressions that would bring about

Meep said...

Of all the dumbest questions to ask in the world...why...why...that of all things =='

Duskfly said...

That was great! I didn't expect for her normal tone of voice to sound almost exactly as her two pony characters she roles. But she's more fluent to Fluttershy and I still can't get over the fact that she can also play as Pinkie Pie. She's also seems like a nice person to be around with.

I was applauded by a certain question which, under any circumstances, should have NOT been brought up when asking questions to the main role of said character. It just devalues the community.

Chip said...

I love the amount of hatred going to whoever asked that question at 15:20 :P
I'm fairly certain that at this point if she'd paid any attention to the fandom (which given bronydom I'm fairly certain she'd be curious about) that she'd already have known anyways. She didn't even seem surprised. I found it absolutely friction' hilarious that someone had the balls to ask that, TBH :P Though the rage the person who asked is going to get is althemore funny.

But hey, bronies turned DJ PON-3's 3 second clip into several hundred thousand pieces of art work. We naturally take everything too far :P
That's just my 2 bits anyhow.

Chip said...

Also note: I'm not saying that I approve of that person asking. Just saying' it's absolutely hilarious that someone did that :P

minty said...

@Chip it could be funny except that it brings about potentially severe consequences.
the impression the general public have about the fandom is already not spectacular, thanks to stereotypes and inaccurate reporting.
The very last thing we need is to have even the show's creating team shun us.

Forderz said...

Turn left here, please... If you like...

Chip said...

@minty
I'm fairly certain that by now the show people already know this kind of thing. Screw it, people on Lauren Faust's deviantart page made it well known. Plus, when asked, she really didn't seem that surprised... I'm assuming they already figured it out, since they're probably curious about bronydom. (Not every day you get near/over 100'000 teenagers/adults watching a show about My Little Pony) So I'd assume they've looked around and figured that kind of thing out if they ever bothered to browse art...
But meh, who knows? I mean, if the people who do that kind of thing ARE the minority, we really don't have THAT much to worry about. If they're a significant portion... Then as sad as I am to say it, won't that be an accurate representation of us? I personally wouldn't want them to know anyways, but if they know, I'll laugh at the way it was presented :P (I.E. the person who asked in here)

TheSharp0ne said...

19:15

Audience: "Do you like cupcakes?"
Andrea: "Oh, I have a story about that,"

DEAR GOD PINKIE, NO!

Did anyone else think of that when they got to that bit?

DJB123 said...

I think the saddest thing about the brony community personally is that so many on the one hand give out platitudes about love and tolerance and then on the other talk about how the asker at 15:00 should hide for a week and how they wish that she would die in fire.

So far as as the rest of the interview goes I get the impression that she is a shy person who doesn't think quick on her feet.

Son Gopaul said...

Still bitter that I couldn't go...

Oh well, maybe next time.

Ikusa GT said...

@DJB123 People don't take to kindly to stupidity. "Love and tolerate" is something that isn't followed to a tee everywhere. Reaction is typical for a question such as that.

Other than that good on Andrea for this panel

Ikusa GT said...

@Ikusa GT Though I'm not condoning the death threats and the die in a fire comments

PinkMenace said...

Should have asked her to say "Why do they call it a hacksaw? That's what we did with the knife."

That was fun. I so so so want fluttershy GPS now :)

Vanishing said...

I agree with Ms. Libman, jerking off to ponies is gross.

And to the woman who asked the question, wherever you are out there, fuck you too.

Heartmend said...

Yay! I was hoping someone would record the Q&A with Andrea! :D

I seriously cannot wait for BroNYCon in January! :D

I would TOTALLY buy a voice package for a GPS with Fluttershy's voice. I think I would intentionally get myself lost just to hear the voice more. I think it would do wonders for one's blood pressure while driving. :D

Kumquat said...

I was the Pinkie cosplayer referred to at around 10.35! :3
My costume wasn't even THAT amazing...she was really too lovely.

Cyl said...

That was not cool lady.

DashFast said...

GPS? Fluttershy? TAKE MY MONEY!

ZerkyBro said...

Pretty cool. Her normal voice is noticeably different from the voices o her FiM characters. It's still high-pitched, and her "Canadian" accent is more accentuated. She also sounded awkward at times, kinda like how Fluttershy gets.

The quality of the camera, coupled with the fact that we've never heard her speak in person before, must be why hearing her normal voice is kinda a shock. Either that, or she can make her voice sound very different when she's doing voice acting since she's that good of an actress.

Someone has to record Bronycon's Q&A as well, perhaps at a quality higher than this. It should go more smoothly since Andrea won't be solo Q&A'ing this time around. She'll be answering with Nicole Oliver as well, plus security will probably be tighter at Bronycon. Andrea will probably be more familiar with her fans by then, too, so she might know what to expect.

Baree said...

Yeah, I think this was a good way for her to get a feel for the community, for the most part. It wasn't to big either, so she should hopefully be a bit more at ease at bronycon. And someone better record it, since I can't be there.

This is so awesome...well except for that one part that I'm trying to forget. We are getting to all the MLP VA. I think one of the main ones left is Tabitha St. Germain.
