DChiuch 5,773 Posted February 25, 2009 MeleeGurl from Kingdom Hearts Ultimania has conducted an interview with Zexion's English voice actor, Vincent Corazza. Although no new information has come out of this interview, it is interesting to see Corazza's opinion of the Kingdom Hearts series. You can view the interview below. Question #1: When you first started your work as a voice actor Vince, was there someone that you looked to as a mentor/inspiration? Vincent: My first real inspiration were the voices from Scooby Doo when I was a kid. It was my favorite cartoon, and I used to love imitating the voices on that show, and I actually got a chance to meet and work with 2 of my biggest influences on an episode of the New Scooby Doo a few years ago, Frank Welker who plays Scooby and Freddy, and Casey Kasem who plays Shaggy. Question #2: Looking at Zexion's character, which aspect of voicing him did you find most rewarding? Vincent: It's always hard to pinpoint one thing that I enjoy the most about any character that I work on. For me it's always a blast to become a completely different person by just using my voice. I did enjoy the fact that Zexion is always very calculating, and guarded. He's not your typical Loud, abrasive bad guy, he's more devious and always plotting. Question #3: What was your first experience in voice acting Vince and do you have any special memories of it? Vincent: My first experience was a class called Microphone Technique that I took while studying theater/acting at Ryerson University in Toronto, Canada. It was a second and third year class that really opened my eyes to the art and techniques of working in front of a microphone, and I realized that I could actually have a career in that kind of work. Question #4: If you were to change something about Zexion's personality, what would it be and why? Vincent: Nothing really. I like that he is different from the other organization members, and he seems to be more devious and calculating. Question #5: Do you have any thoughts on the Kingdom Hearts series as a whole and if so what are they? Vincent: It's been a lot of fun being a part of it. The creative team are really great people, and I enjoy working with them. They are all incredibly dedicated to making the games as enjoyable as possible for the fans, and they put a lot of time and detail into making sure we stay true to the characters. Question #6: Of all your voice acting jobs Vince, how would you compare voicing Zexion to any of your other characters? Vincent: I have enjoyed every character I've played, and it's very hard to make comparisons, since they are all a part of me and my creations, but like I've mentioned before, Zexion's a much more calculating personality and that is an interesting characteristic that I enjoy portraying. Question #7: Zexion is known to be the "Cloaked Schemer", if you were to have an Organization XIII title what would it be? Vincent: I think titles and Nick names are usually given by others, so it's kind of hard to come up with one for myself. Question #8: What is your favorite pass time when you're not voice acting/acting? Vincent: My favorite thing is to spend time with my wife Jane, and I also love to surf whenever I can.
