Alphabet roles! H - Hat Kid from A Hat in Time. There aren't enough characters for me to properly list all the things I love about Hat Kid and all the joy I got from voicing her, so I'm just gonna shout HAT for a bit and hopefully that gets the point across. HAT! HAT! HAT! HAT! HAT! HA #VOStuff

Alphabet roles! G - Gezi from Robotics;Notes. I didn't feel confident about my cuter girl voices back then, so I was really surprised when @okayjoelokay.bsky.social had me audition for her. When I got the part, I also learned an important lesson: Joel is probably right about things. #VOStuff

Alphabet roles time! F - Furude Rika from Higurashi GOU. I've been a fan of Higurashi since the beginning, and Rika's storyline has one of the my favorite reveals ever. Also, I pull out her quote "It's always a surprise how poorly those tragic dice can land," basically every TTRPG night. #VOStuff

Alphabet roles meme, let's go! Genuinely unsure if I can do the entire alphabet, but I guess we'll find out together! A - Akane Mizuno from #tsukigakirei. If you like your high school romance full of longing glances, understated drama, and quiet pastel vibes, this is the show for you. #VOStuff
