This week, Laura Bailey talks about how she got into voice acting. We’ve had the pleasure of working with her many times on both games and animated projects.
Laura Bailey has performed lead roles in popular anime titles including Shin Chan, Fruits Basket, and Fullmetal Alchemist. Gamers may recognize her as the voice of Chun Li in Street Fighter IV and Marvel vs Capcom 3, as well as Jaina Proudmoore in World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King.
Transcript: I first got into voice acting, let’s see, I was in college, and I was doing a play in regional theatre, and one of the guys that was in the show with me actually did voice over for an anime that was popular at the time called Dragonball Z, and they had, like, a whole bunch of female characters coming up and the company that was doing the show was very new, so he asked if I would come in and audition for some roles they had coming up, and so I did, and I ended up getting a part on that, and voice over just kind of took off from there, you know, I started doing more shows with Funimation, and that led to more video game and interactive work and it just kept building on itself.
