The men and women behind
the voices of the Pokemon cast work hard to give the characters the same
sound and feel of their Japanese counterparts, so we pay tribute to them
here.

Veronica
Taylor is the actress who provides Ash's voice, as well as the voice of
Ash's mom, and perhaps her most groundbreaking role... Diglett!
Much like her fellow Pokemon
actors, Veronica also does voices for Slayers (Amelia) and Cubix (Abby). |
Rachel
Lillis does double duty as the voices of both Misty and Jessie, but she
also does voices for many different Pokemon, including Pikachu during the
first few episodes. She is also the voice for that irresistable puffball,
Jigglypuff! Rachel has had a few bit parts in movies (She's The One), but
loves the stage and auditions for plays regularly.
Her other dubbing roles
include Martina from "The Slayers: NEXT", and Tenjou Utena from "Revolutionary
Girl Utena." |

Eric Stuart

Eric
Stuart is the talent behind the voices of both Brock and James, two characters
who couldn't be more different! Eric is one busy guy, because not only
does he do voice acting, he is also the lead singer of the Eric Stuart
Band, which records and tours regularly. He and his band has toured with
and opened for Ringo Starr, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Hall and Oates, Chicago and
Peter Frampton, just to name a few. He also plays a mean guitar.
In addition to Brock and
James (and a ton of Pokemon), Eric also does voices for "Cubix" and "Yu-Gi-Oh",
and in a role almost as famous as Brock, he also voices Gourry Gabriev
in the anime series "The Slayers".
He is also a huge Batman
fan. |
Lisa
Ortiz may not have a leading role in Pokemon, but she's important to the
series nonetheless. She does the voices for countless characters, including
Misty's sisters, Gym Leader Sabrina, Lara Laramie, Lisa from Pokemon 3,
and of course, Cassidy, Jessie's rival. Lisa has always enjoyed doing voices,
and, much like her fellow dubbers, started imitating cartoon characters
at a very early age.
She is probably more famously
known as the voice of Lina Inverse, on the hit series "The Slayers". Her
other roles include Deedlit from "Record of Londross War" and Ellis from
Battle Arena Toshinden.
She is also bi-lingual in
Spanish. |
