Mary Elizabeth McGlynn

Mary Elizabeth McGlynn earns my real admiration as a behind-the-scenes force. Born in Los Angeles in 1966, she's a singer, voice actor, screenwriter, and ADR director rolled into one. Her English-language voicing of Motoko Kusanagi in the Ghost in the Shell series helped carry Japanese animation to global audiences, and her haunting vocals on the Silent Hill soundtracks are inseparable from that eerie world. I love that her finest work lives in the margins, in dubbing booths and recording sessions rather than red carpets. People like her are the unsung craftspeople I most want to applaud.
