Hi! I'm a mixed MENA/SWANA voice over artist with a broadcast quality home studio who specializes in voicing youthful, bright, and energetic characters. You can find my other demos here: . I have worked in ADR, animation, games, and more! Let's create! :D
Well, this doesn’t feel real but I just got the ok to share.
I am the English voice of Collei in
#GenshinImpact
!
I adored Collei’s story in the manga, & getting to bring her to life has been an honor. Can’t wait for you all to hear her (& hopefully play as her!) 💕💕🥰
Going to be a little cheesy but… being a disabled voice actor who is apart of something as big/ amazing as Genshin has been…. Overwhelming in a good way. I truly hope I’m able to show others it’s worth going for their dreams. Remote recording has made so much possible for me -
It’s been almost a year since Collei changed my life. I love this little nugget so much and I am so grateful for remote recording for making this dream come true. Love you all!!

I don't have the strength to say much more, but my heart is with you all. I'm sorry, I wish I had the words to say. Please be kind to yourselves. I'm trying my best to be kind to me too, the best I can.
I am hurt, and angry, and trying my best.
Love you all.
A very gentle and friendly reminder that voice actors aren’t their characters. It’s also completely okay for you to not prefer our work/ have your own opinions on what you do prefer!! BUT we are real people with feelings. (& honestly? I’m a little sensitive haha) thanks. :)
Selena Gomez thankfully won’t see your terrible comments but your friends who are chronically ill & take medications that fluctuate their appearance will.
I sure have.
This makes me so happy to read honestly. This event was really really special to me, getting to see Collei open up, making friends, showing that the past may hurt but it doesn’t define your future etc. it was an honor being Collei’s Eng VA for this, truly.
// genshin spoilers
I'm speechless, tbh.
how delicately this quest treats collei's struggles, how insightful it is to her and sucrose's character; how tender is friendship that develops here, how focus is shifted from travele. god I love this game sometimes.
I am so grateful to be the EN voice of Collei. Her backstory and current journey are both so special to me. I never imagined I’d be able to a part of something so special, with Genshin Impact.
Happy birthday, sweet nugget!!! 🍃⭐️✨🎉
Happy Birthday, Collei!
Thank you so much for being willing to listen to all my troubles, and you even gave me so many great suggestions! I wrote them all down!

Gonna be cheesy for a second: really grateful to have gotten to join the Genshin Impact English cast this year as Collei. As a disabled voice actor, I truly never imagined the industry would open up to me in any capacity. It still feels like a shock honestly.
So beyond honored and excited to be the English voice of Collei!
Collei’s very special to me: when I put two and two together I was SO excited.
I adored her story in the manga. It was powerful & her struggles meant a lot to me. I truly hope you enjoy her in game, too 💕🍃

Normal people count backwards for surgery, i said Collei lines for the intern my surgeon was training because that’s what was asked of me. I cannot believe this happened 😭😂
I’m sick of sharing my anger.
I’m really sick of being angry but that’s not gonna change.
So instead I’m changing my most recent tweet to this: you are all amazing, kind, and strong.
I am incredibly grateful for the kindness. All the love to you.
Hi friends: gentle reminder I do not have any control about in game stuff for Collei. If you’re finding a part of her kit frustrating or want to see something in the game/ have any issues with ANY characters you’re playing as, I suggest giving in game feedback. :) thanks 🍃💕
Because Collei is so close to my natural voice, sometimes her idle lines will go off and poor Brian will be in the other room like “Tina…. Are you okay?” 🤣🫠
My mentions are filled with a lot of kind people checking on me this morning, thank you, truly.
I guess, to group answer: I'm doing my best. I'm pretty burnt out, but I've got a few obligations left for this week. Pushing through, then crashing for the weekend. Thank you
This is hard for me to post, because frankly the idea that someone is going to be upset with me for it really gives me anxiety and makes me sad but:
I really x100 am uncomfortable with my voice being used for AI. I do not consent, at all: it makes me genuinely uncomfortable.
It is really unreal to me that 13 years ago I was told I was going to die from my lung disease being too much for my body/ them not knowing how to help me.
And now I’m … just living my life? Working my absolute dream job? It doesn’t really make sense to me.
I was waiting in the office at my physical therapy appointment and in the distance I heard Collei lines and my physical therapist saying “yeah!!! That’s what she does for work!!! That’s her!!!”
I love you means nothing when it’s being used to manipulate and cause harm.
“Kindness” means nothing when it’s being used to manipulate and cause harm.
When I first booked Collei I left my DMs open (oops) and received a message about how I, specifically, was ruining gacha games somehow by being Lebanese(?)I vowed to get cast in every possible gacha since & I feel like I’ve been doing a good job lately 😅😂
Making a neater resources thread: ❤️🍉 these are mostly donations/ sources I’ve personally used. Will be adding to this slowly but keeping it as up to date as I can.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the kindness. So many people have checked on me. Offered kind words. I cannot fathom how I got so lucky to be so cared about, so truly thank you.
Even when we are all hurt, we are kind to each other and I find that amazing.
Well, this doesn’t feel real but I just got the ok to share.

Genshin Impact genuinely changed my life. I am so grateful to provide the ENG voice of Collei. I’ve met so many kind people because of this experience and I don’t think I can properly put any of it into words. Happy
#GenshinImpact3Years
Some thoughts. I’m truly grateful for everything. ❤️ Thank you to everyone who has taken a chance on me, and to every friend who has been in my corner. I am so darn happy I am alive despite all the health issues I’ve faced ( despite being told I wouldn’t be).
I cried/ teared up like. Multiple times today. Truly, knowing that Collei has helped so many people, and hearing how me being disabled voicing Collei means so much to people…. I’m so incredibly grateful. I love you all, thank you.
Typos ruining my points ha ha.
Voicing a character who has experienced trauma and continues to live every day despite it, has meant a lot to me.
I don’t talk about it often, but I was diagnosed with ptsd from medial trauma/ trauma in my life. This has been a healing role.

Given recent events,
@Its_Tina_timeVO
's thoughts resonate: Collei carries her trauma, but she courageously moves forward.
It may be a part of her, but she will not let it define her.
I hope you find solace and hope in Collei & Christina. Stay strong. And heal.❤️🙏
I’ve spent the last few days viewing my kindness as a flaw and telling myself I need to change it desperately.
I now see it’s not a flaw, it’s my strength. Even if I’ve been burned because of it, it’s still my strength.
I am with you all. My heart is with you all.
I made a typo of course.
ACTORS ARE NOT THEIR CHARACTERS.
We truly are just doing a job and following directions that have been given to us. We do want we are told, and try our best to bring these characters to life. But we have no control over these characters. At all.
We started off okay since I announced Dori but unfortunately that didn’t last long. DMs are closed, you guys. For folks who’ve been kind throughout, I appreciate you. Actors are not their characters, at the end of the day.
I’m proud of who I am, a kind person who tries incredibly hard to be a good person. I will always continue to be kind and good, even if I’m hurt right now.
For those of you playing Windblume, I hope you’re enjoying Collei’s awkwardness so far. 😅💕 I had a lot of fun with this one, really excited to play it myself. (I’ll be streaming it before the event ends :) )
I just got a notification from this tweet so I went back and looked at the original announcement and wow. Collei truly changed my life. I really really feel so lucky and grateful to voice her.

I am so grateful to Sumeru and Genshin. They completely changed my life by really opening up this career to me. So grateful to the friends I’ve made and the fans I’ve met!! 😭💕 all the love.
With Fontaine around the corner, it's time to say goodbye to the Sumeru crew... For now at least!
For the occasion, I commissioned
@ErinMWinn
to do a group shot of the current playable characters in Sumeru!
Thank you guys for the incredible year, and onward to Fontaine🙏💜💚
To my disabled friends: KEEP ADVOCATING FOR YOURSELVES! I KNEW something was wrong. There is no cure for endometriosis(yes, hysterectomy included sadly) and I knew in my gut things were bad. They went in to fix my hernia and check things out. I had adhesions EVERYWHERE.
Part 13 of drawing genshin VAs as their characters : happy bday to our fav boy tighnari and lots of love for

aswell!! 💕ft.

HAHAHA I love this so much. I love that Collei has made so many friends/ people who care about her. It’s such a nice change of pace from her life in the webtoon and makes my heart SO full. The nugget deserves love and compassion!!
I mean you no disrespect at all, but that’s a very privileged take. When you’re PGM, Lgbtqa+, disabled, etc your very own existence is seen as political by some people. We speak about these issues because they affect our lives.
I cannot believe I’m typing this, but I voice Sivan in Starfield! Getting to voice a Middle Eastern character in a huge game like this was such an honor, truly. Sivan’s story is a sweet one, and I hope you enjoy meeting them. ✨ thank you
@BethesdaStudios
for having me!!
Good morning!! I made an announcement post but also I didn’t post THIS and she’s so cute so here is this too: I voice Mozzarella Cookie and she’s so cute/ such a gremlin!!!!
Thanks again to

I am honored to say I voice Sophia in the ENG dub of PGR. I got to use the accent I grew up hearing from my great aunt, and it was very emotional for me.
I’ve been weirdly nervous to share because it was so special for me to get to voice a SWANA/MENA role using her accent.
A gentle reminder: everyone’s journey is different. It’s ok if you’re at a different place than someone else. Be kind to yourselves and remember that comparison is the thief of joy. (And please know, I’ve been there before. I so get it.). You’ve got this, friends 💕
Hi friends! You may have noticed the name change on here, or not!
But, I’m trying this out to honor my sitto and mother’s heritage by using my mom’s maiden name. I’ve wanted to do this for a long time, but was always was a little hesitant for personal reasons.
Dear Travelers, the event wishes "Auric Blaze," "Twilight Arbiter," and "Epitome Invocation" will be available on March 1!

this Collei scene was special for me & very hard.
I have medical trauma PTSD, it’s something I’m still actively working through.
I was poked, prodded, & had more surgeries than I can honestly count. When I was told I was dying, it changed me.
