"One of the strangest moments was when I was in Seattle recording Ophelia and Gabriella for Blood 2. I did a series of screams and deaths until I was dripping wet with heat and lack of oxygen in the booth. I had to crawl out on my hands and knees and noticed a lot of drop-jawed expressions along with some frustration. I heard, 'Whoa! That was so impressive, now we will probably have to bring back the male talent to match your performance.' It felt good, and I do tout myself as the best expletive giver and coach around."Lani Minella
