Voice Behind The Character

When I read the article, by Anthony DePalma, about whom Huckleberry was inspired by. I immediately thought about voice actors. The article is, after all, called, "A Scholar Finds Huck Finn's Voice in Twain's Writing About a Black Youth" . I specifically thought of the voice actress Tara Strong, who plays various characters. She has played characters where her voice and personality helped create the entire character. There could be drawings of the character, or an animation with a storyline, but she helped complete the entire character by placing her voice, allowing the character to stand out. The , "10 year old black servant" Twain met just before starting his book, is not different to Tara Strong. Instead of placing his voice into a character on screen, his personality resounds in Huckleberry Finn. Huckleberry Finn is ,"the most artless, sociable and exhaustless talker" just like the 10 year old boy, who gave him his voice.
