#Megamind
(Feels good to be good this time~ !(Seriously that song is a bop))
Not only am I excited to watch Megamind vs The Doom Syndicate, but also the series Megamind Rules which you can stream right after! So many great episodes I can't wait to see how it all turned out!
You may (or may not) have noticed that there is a cool new Tower of God game coming out!
And you may (or may not) have noticed that the cast (full of totally awesome people who have our blessing) is different from the anime!
Would you like to know why? Well, STORY TIME: (1/?)
I woke up to the announcement and I cannot express in words how excited I am to be playing Kasumi in Persona 5 The Royal. I literally cried when I found out I booked the part, and I have figuratively been going crazy having to keep quiet! Please enjoy!
Excited to share with you that I voice Yelan in Genshin Impact! Big thanks to
@ChrisFaiella
and the team at Mihoyo for this opportunity. I had a blast recording her, and I hope you all have just as much fun learning about her!
Hiya Papaya! Over the moon to share with you that I voice Yunaka in Fire Emblem Engage, out today! She is genuinely one of my favorite characters I've ever voiced. Huge thank you to
@Cupofteaprod
and
@NintendoAmerica
for the privilege of voicing her!
Zappy~!
I learned from a childhood of bullying was to not let people know when you don't like something, because they do it more.
This is why I've been pretty quiet on the AI front so far.
Using Plagiarism software to mimic someone's voice is wrong. Period.
My husband just taught me that you can "pet" Morgana by rubbing the TouchPad on the PS4 controller when in the car in Mementos and my mind is blown.
#P5R
Yes, there is a Yelan print in my Streamily Store, thanks to the incredible
@datcravat
1 more print still on the way, but probably not until later this week.

Personally, I will not be working with Crunchyroll on *any* future projects without the protection of a union contract. I strongly encourage other actors thinking about working with Crunchyroll in the future to consider that as well. (11/11)
A little late in posting this, but am so very happy to have been brought back to voice Ahri for her big ASU. It's truly an honor to have been able to go on this journey with Ahri over the past decade+ of my (and her) life. Big thanks to Riot for the privilege of voicing her. <3
Happy to announce I will be voicing this lovely cookie, Sea Fairy Cookie, in Cookie Run: Kingdom.
What does she sound like? You'll have to wait and *sea.*
No I will not Apologize.

A spider doesn't need to be in the center of the web to feel the slightest vibration from each thread.

#Yelan
One of my favorite things about voicing Yunaka was all her different impersonations. I was so delighted they had me do actual impressions as opposed to just having the other actors do the lines in the character voices.
Such a treat!
#FEEngage
Yesterday, I was asked if I knew Brad Venable. I said "You know when you're at a party and you're not sure you're gonna know anyone and you're anxious and awkward and then you see that one person across the room and go "Thank God, they're here!" That was Brad."
Moral of the story? We already knew CR was not actor friendly, but in my opinion this was a whole new level. They obviously have no problem going to potential future clients *without your knowledge* and robbing you as an actor of the opportunity to even audition for work. (10/11)
I've seen a few people ask, reasonably: Why would CR do this?
And I realize I didn't make it clear. The game is union.
And well, we all know how CR feels about the union. (12/11)
Very excited to share I voice Yuko in

A big thank you to
@Atlus_West
and
@WritingMadness
for letting me be a part of this iconic game
Get your hands on the Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne HD Remaster on May 25th!
(Featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry Series ha ha)
Special Heroes who are racking their brains over a winter-festival assignment will be featured in an upcoming new summoning event: Holiday Lessons! Also, 5★ Hero Claude: Yuletide Schemer will appear as a Score Reward in the next Tempest Trials+ event!

CR was completely out of line, not just ethically (like come on, your actors need to pay rent) but also legally. They have no ground to stand on to prohibit us from playing different or new characters. (And any ground they have to prevent us from reprising is weak at best.) (8/?)
The English production team? Studio? Director? Also great!
So then, you may wonder, who is responsible for this situation?
Well friends, they go by the name of Crunchyroll. (3/?)
*shocked Pikachu*
What CR said is completely, 100%, untrue. Not only did I personally review my contracts to be sure that there was no such clause (some jobs do actually have clauses where you can't perform a character outside of "official capacity" - it's why I don't do voice requests) (6/?)
Nvidia's RTX Voice tech looks AMAZING. I can finally use a desk mic again with my mechanical keyboard!
@Barnacules
's test with the fan and hammer is so impressive
Yes. You see, when the client making the game approached a studio to begin recording the English localization, CR went directly to the client and told them they "owned the voice prints" of the original cast (they do not.) (4/?)
They went on to say that the videogame client could legally not use ANY of the cast in the game in *any* capacity. Not even as new characters or different characters than we originally played. We could not even *audition* for new or different characters. We were blacklisted.(5/?)
FIRST THINGS FIRST:
As you may have noticed in the first post, ALL THE ACTORS INVOLVED ARE GREAT PEOPLE. So many people reached out to the original cast when the auditions went out, and every single one has the original cast's blessing. Support them. Cheer them on! (2/?)
But the damage was done. The client was too scared to get involved in an overseas legal battle, so they would not entertain the idea of including any original cast members in their game. They thankfully decided to do their own thing, and not try to voice match us. (9/?)
What if we 😳 reached rank 10 😳 of our Confidant 👉👈 outside of Big Bang Burger ‼️
Come watch our NEW interview with
@LauraPostVoice
as she shares her reaction to landing the role of Kasumi, her thoughts on FE3H taking place in Chicago, and more! 🤸♀️❤️
In addition, I also had MULTIPLE LAWYERS look over the contract, and they agreed. There is nothing in there to stop us from being part of the project, at the very least as new or different characters. (7/?)
To anyone following me that might be vaccine hesitant: I get you, I really do. Science is never "stable" and getting something new is scary. But, I ask you to consider this: We know more about the long term effects of the vaccines, than we do the long term effects of Covid.
For those curious about who I voice in
#AstralChain
... I don't actually remember them all, but I know I DO voice all the Vending Machines, and that's really all that matters, right?
"Oh but it's just for a joke."
Then do an impression. SNL isn't out there using Deep Fakes to tell jokes about celebrities. There are people who specialize in impressions. Can't hire one of them? Then is it really worth violating someone's personal property for "just a joke?"
Don't forget I'm streaming Tomorrow at 1:00 PM Pacific on Twitch! There's still time to buy a print for the
#Persona
event, like this lovely
#Kasumi

@HellyonWhy

for just my prints, or to see the full Persona selection!
It is with a heavy heart that I share that Shiro crossed the rainbow bridge this morning, just one day after turning 15.
He passed peacefully at home, with my husband and I both at his side petting him and letting him know he was a very very good boy. The best boy.
Thrilled to announce I provide the English voice of Sophia in Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin. Very honored to be a part of this project. <3
So excited to announce I voice Miku in The Way of the Househusband dub out on Netflix today!
I *love* this series so much (my husband and I own the entire manga run,) and Miku might be the character most similar to me that I've ever voiced.
#gokushufudou

Happy Birthday to my girl Kasumi!
In celebration, and in honor of the launch of Persona 5 Royal, I'm going to be streaming at 8 pm Pacific time on 3/30 and 3/31! I'll go as late as I can manage. ;)
Thank you
@Atlus_West
for making this possible!
So honored to have directed the dub for Pokemon: Twilight Wings, whose first episode dropped today on YouTube! The cast did a fantastic job, so check it out if you haven't already!
Didn't get a chance to announce these day of for multiple reasons, but happy to return to play Catherine in Fire Emblem Warriors: 3 Hopes, and to play Tokiko in Ai Somnium Files NirvanA Initiative. Two very different characters and very different games, but both a blast!
And yes, our voices are our personal property. I really can't describe in words how unsettling it is to hear *your own voice* say words you never said.
There's a reason voice actors *do not* consent to their voices being used for these programs and it isn't $$.
To those feeling bad about not making the cut in any sort of competition: I once attempted to compete in a voice over competition & didn't make it past the 1st round. These are for fun, they are not career breaking. If you have the passion and you put in the work, you can do it.
I am SO excited to be voicing Roxanne Ritchi in the new movie Megamind vs The Doom Syndicate and Series Megamind Rules!
#Megamind
is one of my favorites, so getting the opportunity to work with such a great cast and crew has been a dream come true!!
Please Tune in March 1!
I've seen a few people ask, reasonably: Why would CR do this?
And I realize I didn't make it clear. The game is union.
And well, we all know how CR feels about the union.

And so Pokemon: Twilight Wings comes to a close. Again, I am so honored to have gotten to direct this beautiful series. It feels like we started a lifetime ago, but here we are. Thank you to Deluxe and The Pokemon Company for letting me be a part of this.
So excited to be voicing Queen Nehalennia in Sailor Moon Super S for
@VIZMedia
! She is such a cool character, I can already tell she's going to be one of my favorites <3
Happy to announce I voice Witch Regret in
#EdensZero
out today on Netflix!
This is one of those shows I loved getting to hear the rest of the English cast of when recording, so I'm looking forward to giving it a watch myself!
At Galaxy's Edge, on my phone.
Storm Trooper: What were you doing on that data pad?
Me: Nothing?
Storm Trooper: That does sound important.
My life right there.
Absolutely gutted to find out that Kevin Conroy, my Batman, THE Batman, is no longer with us. He was an absolute treasure and the world is less without him. RIP.

since my old headshots were, well... old. ^_^ This was by far my favorite, but you'll probably see a few more popping up over the next week. <3
I said it as a reply but whatever I'll say it here to:
F**k Highschool theater.
Auditioned for over 20 plays and only got cast once, as background with no lines because I had waist-length hair.
I'm the only one (I know of) from my graduating class that works as an actor now.
Just so you know,
I was never first pick for the lead in my high school plays. And I didn’t usually get the solo in choir.
Those things aren’t prerequisites for having a career as an actor.
Anyway, relax your forehead, shoulders, and jaw. You’re gonna be ok.
NieR Re:[In]carnation launched Stateside yesterday, and I'm happy to announce I provide the English voice for this totally badass Assassin: Akeha!
Love her design, and her story. Also right now they are doing a crossover event with NieR Automata!
You can hear me as this classy-but-crude lady, Brunhilde, in the English Dub of Record of Ragnarok, out today on Netflix!
Had such a great time working on this Rollercoaster Ride of a show!
Excited to announce that I provided voices for God of War Ragnarok. Absolutely honored to be part of such an incredible game, and such a phenomenal cast!
I am so tired of trying to fight my way to give SOMEONE money for a PS5. Can't I just put my name on a list somewhere and they'll send me one when they are available in like 6 months? It's infuriating. I almost don't even want one anymore >.<
Very excited to announce I play Yuki Takamiya in 13 Sentinels Aegis Rim! I had such an incredibly fun time voicing her, in no small part due to the talents of
@WritingMadness
and everyone at
@Atlus_West
!
Can't wait to play it when it comes out September 22nd!
Had an absolutely incredible time at the
#P5R
Event last night. Thanks to everyone who came, and to atlus_west for organizing the event!
When I first booked Kasumi I joked with
@ErikaHarlacher
that it was…
Like so many of my friends and colleagues, I'm happy to announce that I provided additional voices for
#FF7Rebirth
I can't remember everyone I voiced, but I do remember her:
For the third and final new piece in my Streamily store, this beautiful "Glasses Kasumi" ;) by the one and only

I'd been wanting to get one for a while, and figured beating the game on stream was the perfect reason to celebrate!

Happy Birthday to me! Since AVOX was postponed and I will not be at AX, I decided to open up my Streamily Shop! 1st signing will be the evening of July 3rd, but I'll be leaving it open all July!
I also have 3 new prints! (1 is up, 2 on the way.)
Happy to announce I voice Kodama in Scarlet Nexus! She was a real blast to bring to life. <3 Thank you
@Cupofteaprod
and
@Seitz_Unseen
for letting me play!
Don't forget to check out Sailor Moon Eternal today on Netflix! You can hear me reprise my role as the villainous Nehalennia. Much love to the entire cast and crew. Still honored to be part of this franchise.
"I've been waiting for you."
And I've been waiting for this since I first booked Azshara nearly a decade ago. <3
So much love to
@AndreaToyias
and
@Blizzard_Ent
for allowing me to play such an amazing character in such an incredible world. Thank you!
Didn't realize this was today of all days, obviously I've had my mind in other places, but if you're watching the dub of Jujutsu Kaisen, I play Mai and Takada in the episode that came out today.
Do I ship myself with myself? ... yes. Yes I do.
Man with all these remasters.... I would *really* love a Legend of Dragoon re-release.
*Sends it into the universe in hopes it comes true like it did for FF8*
Saw Frozen 2. Loved Frozen 2 (as if anyone is surprised) and Josh Gad actually showed up in person to introduce the movie to us! Which was unbelievable!!
You ever get an audition for something and go "Man I hope (person that is not me) gets it! They deserve it more than anyone else I know!!!"
I really hope that person that is not me gets it.
Laura: "I know I've met you like 5 times before but I forgot your name again I'm so sorry."
Also Laura: "Last week you took 26 psychic damage in that attack, it is completely irrelevant to my character but that was the exact number."
What a pleasant surprise ~! Streamily is doing a
#Persona
event!
Go to to see awesome prints from the Phantom Thieves (including 2 from yours truly) and other Persona Voice Actors! We start next week, so just in time to do some Christmas Shopping!
Very excited to announce I voice Red She Hulk in Lego
Marvel's Avengers: Code Red, out today on Disney Plus! Everyone sounds so good! Absolutely honored to be a part of this incredible cast and awesome project!
It's so true to his personality. He was warm and welcoming and could make anyone feel like they belonged anywhere. He was a beacon. He did so much to help others. He was always there to cheer you on. My heart breaks for the vo community, and for Brad's family. I'll miss you Brad.
