My Take
I have a soft spot for voice actors, and Debi Derryberry is a perfect example of why. Giving life to Jimmy Neutron means living inside a child's voice for years, never seen yet permanently lodged in millions of childhood memories. That is a stranger, deeper kind of fame than any on-camera star enjoys. The fact that she is also a singer-songwriter fits the profile: someone who has spent a lifetime making her voice do almost anything. I admire performers who build whole careers out of a single, instantly recognizable instrument, and she clearly has.
