Katie Leigh

Katie Leigh belongs to a profession I deeply respect but rarely get to name: the voice actor whose work shapes childhoods while the face stays hidden. Born in Carmel-by-the-Sea and trained at UC Santa Cruz, she has breathed life into countless characters across television, film, and games, and even moved into directing. There is something quietly heroic about an artist content to live behind the curtain. So many beloved animated friends owe their warmth to performers like her, and I think that invisible craftsmanship deserves far more recognition than it usually gets.
