About a month or so ago, the DASH 3 Devroom played host to an exclusive event in which fans voted on their favorite of three voice actresses trying out for the role of Aero. Fast forward to today, and sure enough, we've got a victor.
Your Japanese VA for Aero, coming in with a grand total of 3,000 votes is... Akemi Kanda! Hey, now, that's a name that shouldn't be all too unfamiliar: She previously provided the voice for Nana in Rockman X: Command Mission, and Ice Man in Rockman Rockman.
You can hear her winning audition tape over at The Mega Man Network -- Kanda's is Entry #1.
Can't say I'm surprised. This is the exact kind of voiced I had in mind when I first laid eyes on Aero. As for an English voice actress, well, we're still pretty far away from that point. Hopefully, we'll have a similar event on our end, eventually. I'll keep you posted!

Laura Bailey. I can hear her in Aero.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking Wendee Lee, Michelle Ruff, or even (what was her name)... Hynden Walch, but Laura Bailey's a good choice.
ReplyDeleteCristina Valenzuela for Aero.
ReplyDeleteI Can imagine that.
@Rock-X Oooooo Hyden Walch is also a good choice! I think I'd actually prefer her over Laura.
ReplyDeleteThe more I think about it, the more I like the idea of Hynden Walch.
