Jen Taylor

Jen Taylor commands my respect for the strange alchemy of voice acting, giving life to characters audiences never see her embody. As Cortana in Halo, Zoey in Left 4 Dead, and once Princess Peach and Toad in the Mario games, she has lodged herself in the memory of nearly every gamer of a certain era. A Northwestern-trained performer with stage roots, she proves that you can reach millions without ever showing your face. To me that is the purest demonstration of vocal craft: an unseen lead actor quietly anchoring entire worlds from behind the screen.
