We chat with feliciaday about joining MonsterHigh as Ghoulia Yelps, why she seeks alternatives to Princess culture for young girls, and what draws her to the wonderful world of fandom:
Nickelodeon's Monster High is welcoming Ghoulia Yelps to their ranks as of episode 7, “Nightmare Nightmore.” First launched by Mattel in 2010, the franchise began by introducing characters inspired by mythical creatures who all attend a special school together. The animated reboot series began in October and is helmed by Shea Fontana, who crafted the 2018 reboot of Polly Pocket.
Felicia Day: I really think it's adorable. Yes, I'm a little bit old to have been a kid excited for a Monster High. But at the same time, as a Hot Topic lover from my youth, I loved the aesthetic when it came out. And even now as a mom, before I even got this job, I was like, "This is gonna be a show that I could show my kid one day.
First off, I have to say, I was surprised that I didn't immediately recognize your voice. How did you step into that character, and what was the recording process like? I love what you said about wanting to bring those things out in your own work, and I do feel like your passionate personality always comes through in everything that you do and choose. How do you make those decisions when presented with different career options?
But when I was 15 years old, I was wearing all black lace and crushed velvet, and I adored Winona Ryder to the point of worship. That's really part of who I would be as a kid, so it's easy to channel that. Felicia Day: It wouldn't be weird for me to wear a shirt with her on it, right? Yeah, we're still gonna do it.
As you said, I've become the face of a lot of IP and been doing a lot of hosting in the last couple of years. I get offered a lot, but I take the only ones where I feel like, "I'm home here. I'm as excited about this as you will be as a fan." That's where I really activate and am excited because you have a shorthand when you're part of a fandom, and being able to know characters in and out and share that enthusiasm with other people is really a blessing.
