From a child role in The Godfather Part III to the voice of Flame Princess. Meet Jessica DiCicco

Voice actor Jessica DiCicco (Flame Princess in Adventure Time, Lucy Loud in The Loud House) joins Tara Strong for a Live with Legends recording with the Voicelings community. In this conversation Jessica unpacks how she went from a small credited role in Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather Part III as a kid, through seven years of auditioning at Nickelodeon LA, to becoming the voice behind some of animation's most beloved characters. She and Tara get into how she approaches an audition, what to do when the mean voice in your head says you're not good enough, and why the booking ratio doesn't reflect your talent. → Want to be in the next live recording?
