Yay! I made this thread to talk about one of the most famous va's in the business! Kari Wahlgren!

Who did she play as?

OMGOMGOMG.

I don't usually use internet-speak and such, but you win so many internets, you are incredible for making this thread.

I absolutely love Kari Wahlgren. She's beats even Cam Clarke as my favorite voice actor of all time ever (and I love him so much it's not funny).

God, she just seems to make every character she's ever voiced seem so alive and full of emotion. Even characters that I wouldn't otherwise like - Karin from SH2, for example - I couldn't help but love.

My favorite roles? Well, she did a truly excellent job as Shelke in DoC (favorite DoC character by a long shot) and Ashe in FFXII (I was so glad that Ashe got so much screentime :D), but Raine from Tales of Symphonia wins it by a mile for me.

I'll try not to bore you too much with my insane Raine fangirling, but she's honestly my favorite character from any game ever and I think a large part of that was how brilliantly she was VA'd. Even with a pretty much all-star cast like ToS had, she just shone out from the rest by playing such a complicated, multi-dimensional character so incredibly well.
My favorite scene of the whole game was in Exire, where Raine finally meets her mother. I'm a sap and it's certianly not unheard of for me to cry during games, but that exchange reduced me to a blubbering mass. It was wonderful.

If PW is ever voiced, be it on a Wii game, anime series, OAV, whatever, I think Kari Wahlgren needs to do the voice work for Mia. She's already proven that she can do the whole mentor-sister-motherly-thing flawlessly and, frankly, anything would be better than the "Ob-jeck-shun!" she currently has. >.<

Also; Growing Wings, that song from Drakengard? Is amazing. She should do much more song work.

Okay. I'm done. [/fangirling]

Although she is a pretty good VA in my book, does she really warrant a whole topic?

Hell yes.

Cam Clarke had one waaay back, and, to be fair, she's voiced loads of main characters in loads of games. We've had weirder topics.

I wouldn't know for sure.
