It's too close to the character I've already done

I agree that the roles are very different, but not recognising her is crazy to me. Jennifer English has one of the most distinctive voices I've ever heard, so much so that I'm wary of getting a little burned out on her just like I was on Matt Mercer. Though she is not as ubiquitous (yet).

This is not a slight on her voice acting (she is very good) she just always sounds distinctively Jennifer English.

    This was similar to how I felt getting into the Legacy of Kain series on the first Soul Reaver, going backwards into the first Blood Omen and thinking "wow, a lot of people are Tony Jay in this universe!"

    You know, I gotta ask... how come you're replying to a random six month old thread? I'm not mad or anything, just curious how you got here, hahaha.
