Hello everybody!
Amanda got inspired after ALBrazil shared their interview with the director of the animation movie Charming, that Avril is the voice of Snow White, one of the princesses in the movie.
Ross Venokur is his name. And he has so kindly agreed to do a second interview, with AvrilBandaids.
And that is us, right?

How did the idea to create the movie Charming? With this production differs from other fairy tales?
"I have three daughters, so I spent years and years reading stories for them to sleep. And there was one day an idea came to mind: 'Hey, Cinderella marries Prince Charming; Sleeping Beauty marries Prince Charming; Snow White marries Prince Charming ... it's the same guy! '. And then the story was born there. "
So far we know that the cast includes Avril Lavigne, Ashley Tisdale, Demi Lovato and GEM What made ​​you choose these four singers for your animation?
"Apart from luck, Wilmer Valderrama! As Executive Producer of the film, Wilmer doing an insane work, achieving one of the most talented people in the entertainment and excited to put the project into practice. I mean, I could put together a better cast for such a project? Incredibly, all these talented women were our first choices for the roles, and they all said yes. So we are left with the question ... who could accomplish by working with this group and be our Prince? Wilmer was putting together a list of possible names to be the main actor, but working with him since the early stages, I knew I would never find someone as 'delighted' as him. And then I asked Wilmer if he would be our prince, and he said 'That's it!' "
How did you hear about Avril Lavigne? You were already familiar with your music? And what was the first impression when you first met?
"As an Earth dweller, of course I was very familiar with the music of Avril. The first time we met was when she came to write his lines. One of the best parts of my job is that I can meet new people who are icons in our culture, and I definitely get very exalted when it happens. But I've never been very good at getting bragging me (laughs). So I was ridiculously excited to meet her, and even hiding what he was feeling. The best part to be working with Avril is that it is completely professional. It has to do their job and do it well. She has a very good natural humor, and is a very easy person to work with. "
How did you decide that it would be perfect for the role?
"If I'm not mistaken, who suggested me Avril was Demi Lovato. Or was the Wilmer? I can not remember ... All I remember is that I thought, 'Yes! DEFINITIVELY! PLEASE WHAT HAPPENS THAT! '"
Avril will lend his voice to be Snow White. We get to see a bit of her personality in the character?
"The top three princesses (Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella) fit into the story in a very specific way, then I needed that each of them behave in a certain way to to flow history. What Avril use of his personality in history to make Snow White are your natural abilities for comedy. "
As the selection process to define what the Princess actress would it be? An actress for the role or they were distributed after the cast was complete was selected?
"It was actually quite simple. We have identified who we wanted for each role, and contacted the actress to see if they would accept to participate. And as I said, Wilmer was crucial at this stage. And from the beginning, Avril was dying to be Snow White. "
Demi Lovato is Lerone that will be the real hero for Prince Charming. Do you think the fact that they are together in real life makes the connection between the characters is more special?
"I think the characters are supported on their own, and their journey in the film will be unique and special. And having said that, there is definitely an extra layer of fun and excitement because we know it's Demi and Wilmer (Wow!) Playing these roles. Although normally the voices of the characters are recorded separately, sometimes we put the couple together in a cabin, and this increases the intensity of the chemical. At the end of the day, the two were talented and fun, then put them together in the recording is like it was just icing on the cake. "
How is the progress of the recordings? It has happened something very funny or a story you can tell us?
"The recordings are almost complete. We still have some things to do. The entire cast (Avril, Demi, Ashley, GEM, Wilmer, Sia, John Cleese, Tara Strong, Jim Cummings, Dee Bradley Baker ...) brought their cards up his sleeve and his sensitivity. Then the script and the story has evolved a lot during the recording. All have been close friends and family since the beginning. And a few months ago we had a fun day the sister of the member farmers, the sister of Wilmer and Demi sisters came to the studio and recorded a few lines of smaller characters. "
There is the possibility of a sequel?
"Perhaps a sequel, yes. And we talked about it often. I think we are heading to find the right line of history and we are waiting to see if the audience will like Charming far as we're waiting for that to happen. "
Have you had a chance to visit our country? You are or are familiar with something Brazilian?
"I never visited Brazil, and I'm sorry to say that. But I will visit one of these days! "
We know it's a little early to ask this, but ... all the singers have large fan clubs in Brazil. Therefore I would like to know: if there is the possibility of having a Brazilian premiere of the film with all the princesses
"I would love that to happen. And if were to happen ... we will make this my first trip to Brazil!
"I have three daughters, so I spent years and years reading stories for them to sleep. And there was one day an idea came to mind: 'Hey, Cinderella marries Prince Charming; Sleeping Beauty marries Prince Charming; Snow White marries Prince Charming ... it's the same guy! '.

So this is your chance to ask your questions.
BUT only questions that is about Avril's work in the movie, or how it is to work with her etc. will be used.
This is because it is about Charming, not one of Avril's projects in music that isn't related to the movie and any other things related to her own work.
And maybe try to come up with other questions than those ALBrazil asked. That is simply because we all ready have the answers to those questions, and we all want the latest news
- How to suggest? Well, leave a reply in this thread, and maybe yours will be used.
- Is there a limit to how many questions i can come up with? No, come up with so many questions you want. But don't be sad if we don't use all of them
- Why can't i ask about Avrils 6th album? Because that's nothing to do with Charming, and Ross most probably doesn't know anything about it. And IF he did, it's not up to him to share it.
- I didn't think the question asked on the interview from ALB was answered good enough. Can i ask it again, but ask for a different answer? Yes you can.
- The questions will be picked by the staff team.
- Please take a couple minutes to read the interview from ALB, before submitting your questions.
- 10 questions will be used. Maybe we add a few extra
- The interview will be sent in the first week of march
The final questions:
- - What have you expected and heaven't expected before you working with Avril?
(What surprised you the most about meeting and working with Avril?)
- What do you think was the most difficult thing for Avril while recording her lines? Did she face any problem?
- Do you find it difficult to work with beginner voice actors?
- Who's your favorite character in the movie?
- Would you ever work with Avril on a future project?
- Has Avril been recording her lines using her normal speaking voice, or has she been altering her voice to give Snow White a different sound than herself?
- How long did the recordings take, each day/time?
- You have mentioned that they have been rewriting lines. How much did the voice actors contribute to the script?
- Why did you pick Avril for this movie and why for the role of Snow White specifically?
- We are obviously very excited about Avril starring in the movie. But how is it like to work with stars like Demi, Ashley and G.E.M?
- Can you give us an description of each of the princesses?
