My Take
For anyone who grew up on anime and games, Laura Bailey is royalty. From a young Trunks in Dragon Ball Z to Lust in Fullmetal Alchemist, Maka in Soul Eater, and Tohru in Fruits Basket, she is a one-woman ensemble. What impresses me most is her range: she can voice a seductive villain and a tender, fragile girl with equal conviction. Her recent wins at The Game Awards and the BAFTAs confirm she has mastered performance capture too. A voice actor from Biloxi who contains multitudes, she leaves me genuinely marveling at how many people seem to live inside her.
