"I feel like my music is just an extension of my acting. I treat the songs like scenes that tell a story... it's very similar. My favorite thing is when cartoon fans show up to my live gigs! They are always the most kick-butt audience members 'cause they're not trying to act all cool like a lot of the music fans do! It's refreshing!!"
About this Quote
The cartoon-fan shout-out does even more work. It’s funny, a little mischievous, and pointedly anti-cool. Animation fandom has long been coded as niche, childish, or "cringe" by mainstream taste-makers. DeLisle flips that stigma into an asset: these fans show up unguarded, ready to participate, not perform status. When she says they’re "not trying to act all cool", she’s not just praising enthusiasm; she’s critiquing a concert culture where audiences posture, record for proof, and treat enjoyment as a brand risk.
There’s also context baked into her career. DeLisle is a voice-acting powerhouse; many listeners know her before they know her songs. She’s describing a pipeline where fandom travels across mediums - a reminder that today’s cultural loyalties are less genre-based than relationship-based. The refreshing part isn’t just the crowd; it’s the permission to be earnest, loudly, in public.
