So grateful to be singing in large groups again! Fox has really stepped it up to meet COVID protocols. We singers will gladly jump through the hoops to be singing back as a group again! So proud of my friends Fletcher Sheridan (and sidekick Jarrett Johnson) for contracting this killer vocal choir for the soundtrack.

Can I tell you about something very exciting that happened to me recently? In a session for an upcoming action movie, we sang through this giant stack of music, and at one point towards the end of the session, we had begun to out-sing the orchestra. So we started to sing everything a cappella! There were literally just a few minutes left in the session when we got to the last cue. We were excited to possibly make it through the entire stack of music, but the pressure was on! The contractor noticed in the soprano section had the word “solo,” so quickly paused to ask if that was a typo or if they really did just want one soprano to sing the line by herself.

I love getting to share in a “first” with my friends. Especially when they are as smart and talented as my buddy Alexander Lloyd Blake, AKA “Alex.” I love seeing my friends succeed! Looks like Blue Sky animation has another success on its hands. Some of the vocal cues were pretty intense. Plus, it’s always fun to see my name, “Mo Do” in the lyrics… ha!
For the Onward movie trailer, a Disney film released in 2020, the original vocal piece was recorded for one of my first films I ever sang on. So crazy to have this work cycle around 28 years later!
Working on Olaf’s Frozen Adventure was a blast. There’s so much we got through in this session, it was so exciting to see all of the parts that made it in. I got a few neat solos like the one for the lady who sings “Well… we hang up bows of evergreen on every single doorway.” Plus, a little duet I did with my best friend Baraka. We’re both little kids, I’m the older sister and she’s the younger brother who sings, “Eight nights in a row we light the menorah on our mantle,” and it’s even possible that there’s a little Monique kitten at the end… ha! Meow!
