One of my favorite characters to play was the title voice in the Sony Playstation game, Neopets: The Darkest Faerie.

Learning new things: whatever captures my interests at the moment. Books. Film. Acting. Animation. Mythology. World Beliefs. Travel. Culture. Cooking. Photography & Art. Fitness. Skincare (Sephora addict). Essential Oils. Fashion. Beach Trips. Rollar-skating. Swimming. I like learning about Behavior and what makes people really tick.
I could go on and on but we just don't have that kind of time right now. :-P

About me: Pictures from the WGA Strike lines, taken either by me or by on the scene photographers, at various movie studios in California. I'm in a few of them too, showing my WGA pals some SAG solidarity.
Visit United Hollywood to learn why the WGA are striking, and why SAG supports them. United Hollywood has created an online petition for you to be able to add your voice to the growing numbers who are supporting the writers. Sign the WGA petition, and spread it around to everyone you know who thinks that writers deserve fair compensation for use of their work.

I am lucky enough to be doing something I love - voices for cartoons. Watch clips of my more famous voice cartoons below.
Your Questions for Piera are answered! (More in Blog)
Q: Is your avatar a drawing of the real You?
A: Yep, my current avatar is a cartoon drawing of the real Me (only, in real life, I tend to smile a lot more and only sometimes wear skin-tight black cat-suits. Sometimes.) It was drawn by the fabulous ANTZ, aka A. Conley. Go check out his work!
This is "me", voice of Poison Ivy on "The Batman".
cast:
*Danielle Judovits - Barbara Gordon/Batgirl (voice)
*Piera Coppola - Pamela Isley/Poison Ivy (voice)

Who I'd like to meet: I apologize ahead of time if I don't respond to your messages - It's not personal. Life gets hectic and sometimes it is hard to keep up. To everyone who has sent nice emails and comments: Thank you, it is much appreciated! Right back at ya! Promise to comment back when I can.
*People who say what they mean, and mean what they say.
*People who are comfortable being in their own skin; also open-minded and tolerant.
*People who are not afraid to be silly, when silly is called for; or be serious when the time is right.
*People who can laugh at themselves, not laugh at others. (unless of course, they are wearing something totally hideous in public - then it's ok.)
*People who enjoy laughing, good conversation and sharing stories. Also old friends I've lost touch with.
*I like meeting Creative people. Interesting people. Funny people. Smart people. Kind People. People who treat others like they would like to be treated. In other words, I like meeting 'together' people. If you wonder whether or not you are 'together', then you possibly aren't. If you don't care one way or the other, then you are either 'together', or possibly deluded. Time will tell. :-P
*No nonsense, No whiners, No complainers or suck-ups. (Seriously people, get over your angst, already and move along. Go do something that's useful. We'll all be a lot happier if you do.)
"Say what you mean and mean what you say."
'It is vital to remember who you really are. Its very important. It isn't a good idea to rely on other people to do it for you, you see. They always get it wrong.'
--- Terry Pratchett, author
Piera Coppola, here's hoping you had a safe (but 'splodey) 4th of July! And if you don't obeserve that holiday, go get some firecrackers (if legal) anyhow! Magnesium and the Attack of the Memes!
It's an expression I heard one of the shuttle astronauts use once.
An image of a blue earth with swirling white clouds spinning below and a mission status check. The mission commander responds, "Roger Houston. Go at Dallas. Everything is going tickety boo."
and I thought, there's a guy who doesn't want to be anywhere else or BE anybody else right now.
Each one of us, in his timidity, has a limit beyond which he is outraged. It is inevitable that he, who by concentrated application has extended this limit for himself, should arouse the resentment of those who have accepted conventions which, since accepted by all, require no initiative of application. And this resentment generally takes the form of meaningless laughter or of criticism, if not persecution. But this apparent violation is preferable to the monstrous habits condoned by etiquette and estheticism.
