I found this video of Lani Minella -- the voice of Nancy Drew -- doing voice acting.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zm1BGVfqWC0

I had no idea she could do so many voices. I was particularly impressed by the part starting around 1:32 into it where she changes her voice every few seconds.

I was curious so I looked for a list of Guild Wars 1 voice actors, her name wasn't on it. Naturally there isn't a list for Guild Wars 2 yet.

That looks like hundreds of games!

I wonder which part she played in Frogger: The Great Quest.

Great video. Great suggestion. She is very funny. Not at all what I had expected for someone who is the voice of Nancy Drew.

Did she voice the maid in Final Cut: Death on the Silver Screen? The character sounds like Nancy Drew to me, course its been a long time since I've played a Nancy Drew game.

In my opinion, she sounds a lot like the Nancy Drew in the 1970's TV series played by Pamela Sue Martin. The character had such a soft sweet voice as does "Our" Nancy Drew.

That is so neat to watch because I think we all get an idea of what a character looks like in RL and so it's fun to see her. I have to admit I imagined her as being really young because of how well she does that "young" sounding voice for Nancy Drew, but looks like she can do anything and make it sound great---her age doesn't even enter into it. Neat. And btw, what a fun job to have! lol

If anyone's making a game and needs a voice actor, I'd be more than happy to give it a try---thia has gotten me excited about voice acting!

I just finished Final Cut, and according to the ending credits she did in fact voice the maid.

You must have missed my post earlier. I did confirm that she was in the game. Hope you enjoyed the game.
