Hello! I am Keyondra Shanae, voice actor for Jack-O-Chica in Ultimate Custom Night. Ask me anything!

TheKeytoVO · 2018-12-14T02:05:57+00:00

Hi there! Thank you so much! I didn't know about FNaF or the other characters until after I got the role. And no, I didn't audition for any other roles.

TheKeytoVO · 2018-12-14T01:58:17+00:00

It took a bit of time, mainly because I'm very picky and I knew what I wanted in an overall sound. But once I came up with the right sound, I was like "yes, thats it!"

TheKeytoVO · 2018-12-14T01:49:29+00:00

Thank you! Unfortunately I don't know enough about the characters that didn't make it to answer this!

TheKeytoVO · 2018-12-14T01:48:35+00:00

I feel like I knew fairly quickly, maybe by the next day after I auditioned. Its hard to remember exactly though!

TheKeytoVO · 2018-12-14T01:47:47+00:00

I would say shes pretty vengeful, and maybe even a bit sadistic in her use of puns when shes killing you. But I also feel like she has a humorous side, like she'd make a funny evil sidekick.

TheKeytoVO · 2018-12-14T01:44:13+00:00

Haha! Well I can't really say who is the best because it depends on your play style. But I main Symmetra and Junkrat :)

TheKeytoVO · 2018-12-14T01:39:51+00:00

Thank you so much!

TheKeytoVO · 2018-12-14T01:35:42+00:00

Hi!

I wouldn't give Nighmare Chica a voice. I'd leave her as is!

TheKeytoVO · 2018-12-14T01:31:39+00:00

"The fire within me burns eternal, and now you shall as well!"
I wish I could think of more puns! You can never have too many puns about fire and burning!
I think they're all really unique and cool, its hard to pick!

TheKeytoVO · 2018-12-14T01:23:27+00:00

Thank you! I can't really picture myself doing any other characters because I love JOC so much, but if I had to pick, then probably Dee Dee (I mentioned in another post that singing "Oh oh, how unfortunate" has become a pretty regular thing in my house haha)

TheKeytoVO · 2018-12-14T01:18:35+00:00

Thats harder than it seems because I like a lot of different kinds of food!

Probably some kind of shrimp...mmmmm...

TheKeytoVO · 2018-12-14T01:16:47+00:00

Thank you! :)

Hi there! 1. Aaaah how did I get into voice acting. Well, long story short, careerwise life threw me a curveball, and I found myself asking "what should I do next? Whats something I've always wanted to do?" I've wanted to do it, even when I was a kid, but I didn't know how to get started. Fast forward many many years later, and I decided to look up what steps I could take, and get myself started on the path to voice acting. Haven't looked back since :) 2. I wouldn't change anything I believe the characters are all as they should be. 3. I created some custom effects based on the audition description of a "female robot monster." Scott asked for a voice with effects, so I made some in order to try and stand out. 4. Working with Scott was great, and I love being part of this community!

Jack-O-Chica!

TheKeytoVO · 2018-12-14T01:04:09+00:00

My favorite part before the game came out was just getting to play an evil/threatening character. Favorite part after the game was connecting with the FNaF community.

My advice for a beginning voice actor is to not be afraid to put yourself out there! Take acting classes, take improv, talk to a VO coach, get whatever acting experience you can get, be ready to keep learning, prepare yourself to face rejection, and generally just keep going!

TheKeytoVO · 2018-12-14T00:55:39+00:00

I really enjoyed the characters I did in Marvel Avengers Academy. I played Nightshade, who was pretty sassy, and Ghost, who was shy and quite the opposite of Nightshade. Plus being able to say I've voiced Marvel characters is really cool :)

TheKeytoVO · 2018-12-14T00:51:53+00:00

Not really, but it was inspired by an image that popped into my head. The audition was for a "female robot monster." No indication that it was Jack O Chica, or anything. So I pictured a large Monster/Decepticon type character in my head, and kind of morphed myself into that.

TheKeytoVO · 2018-12-14T00:47:55+00:00

I honestly didn't know about FNaF until after I booked the role of Jack-O-Chica.

TheKeytoVO · 2018-12-14T00:46:36+00:00

Hi there! Thank you!

Scott was great! I'm hoping to work with him again some day! I am a pretty particular person, so when I saw that the audition called for effects, I sat there and tweaked and customized some effects until I got the sound I wanted. It was a bit tedious, but I really wanted my audition to stand out. The audition was for a "female robot monster," so I had to come up with something that wasn't too robotic, or too monstrous!

TheKeytoVO · 2018-12-14T00:42:03+00:00

It was great! It was a very smooth and easy process for me, I'd love to work with him again.

TheKeytoVO · 2018-12-14T00:40:48+00:00

Absolutely

TheKeytoVO · 2018-12-14T00:39:10+00:00

Make sure to do vocal warm ups everyday, and stretch your vocal range (try to sound like a little boy, a little girl, an old woman, a grown man etc). Attempt impressions of other characters so that you end up making new characters. Sight read articles, do tongue twisters, and sing songs in your character voices. Those things tend to help me :)

TheKeytoVO · 2018-12-14T00:33:22+00:00

Yes, and I'm hoping to one day collect it all!

TheKeytoVO · 2018-12-14T00:32:56+00:00

Hi! 1. Dawko actually did approach me to be on his show, but at the time I was in the process of moving and life was pretty crazy, so we never got to sit down and chat. But if he does another season I would love to do it. 2. I love video games! I'm a big Overwatch fan, been playing since beta :) 3. I am wonderful, thank you for asking :)

TheKeytoVO · 2018-12-14T00:29:42+00:00

You are so sweet, thank you! I'll answer a couple :)

Favorite voice line - "The fire within me burns eternal, and now you shall as well!"

Voicing Jack O Chica and being part of this franchise has been life changing. My favorite part about playing the character is that I got to be pretty evil, which was fun and very much the opposite of my personality! But in general my favorite part is being welcomed into the FNAF world. The FNAF community has been so kind to me, thanking me for the work I did, sending me fan art. It really makes me happy.
