If the voice of the Rice Purity Test sounds familiar, it’s because it is! The voice actress behind the singing scroll is Annaleigh Ashford. Although Annaleigh is a newcomer on Big Mouth, she’s a veteran on the small screen.

Following the Season 6 premiere, series creator Nick Kroll shared his score — a scandalous 33 — with his followers on Twitter. He wrote, “The Big Mouth writers all took the Rice Purity Test while we were writing Episode 4.”
