I love this actress for so many reasons! The first reason i think she is talented is because she can change her vioce and match the charecter shes playing and im not good at changing my voice im one of those people who only has on voice. The next reason why i like her is because she plays alot of my favorites show! Like she plays Frida from El tigre i love how she made her voice nice and sweet. Also she plays on my favorite show The mighty b as portia,a snobby wanna be who is pretty much the villan of the show.Anyway i think shes really talented person!

Delisle just blew me away when I realized how much voice acting she did--especially in one show. I could never tell that she had been playing several of the characters in one show because of how talented she is with changing the sound of her voice. From voicing Chad from Fairly Oddparents; to the emotionless Mandy (Billy and Mandy); to Azula, the calculating princess who suffers a mental breakdown in the end (Avatar: the Last Airbender) is just mind boggling. The way she can play all these roles is just amazing. On Avatar, she did splendidly playing Azula's manipulative nature, her short-lived soft (and neglected) side, and lastly her losing her mind and breaking down in tears. That role alone, shows how talented Grey Delisle is.

Meh! She's not the best if you ask me. ...Continue »
Grey DiLisle is known as a voice actress, she voices lot's of female protagonists or mostly recurring roles. I've read all of the reviews of her. And mostly all of them mentioned the female antagonist in Avtar - Azula. I admit. I did like the way she made Azula sound, evil and mysterious as she was made for. And her voice matched perfectly with her personality. But just because she joined a famous show that everyone is in love with, doesn't mean she's a great VA.

I also like the way she voiced Riley, from The Replacement. She made her sound like an average 13 year old teenager. She didn't made her voice too high or too low. Just right.

But there are also some character that she voiced that I wasn't very fond of. Let's take a certain blue haired rocker. That's right - Frida from El Tigre. She made her sound like she was in helium for weeks. And anytime when she talks, I feel like pressing the mute button.

Don't get me wrong. I like Frida. it's just he voice that irriates me.

Another character I want to mention, is Wubbzy from the Nick Jr show Wow Wow Wubbzy! Grey didn't put any effort into his voice and made him sound just like Frida. That's why some people refer Wubbzy as a "she".

I think Ms. DeLisle is only great at deep voices for more mature ladies but when it comes to younger characters. She's just doesn't sound great.

Grey DeLisle is one of my favorite voice actresses for cartoons. She has played the voice of characters in shows like Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, and other upcoming shows. She usually has this gothic atmosphere to most of her acting, but it is still talented. She does a wonderful job playing characters that are usually dark, gothic, and eerie. It's really entertaining when she does these voice characters, and I have enjoyed every show that has her acting in it that I have watched so far. I do not know much about her personal life, but I think she is a very good voice actress, and I would like to see more shows with her in them.

A bubbly, yet a very very very very creepy person... ...Continue »
Although Grey is most of the time just a co-star(except for in Billy and Mandy in which she plays Mandy), she is very talented. I read in the all-Avatar magazine, that she said that even though she always ends up playing all of the evil characters on shows, she is actually a very bubbly person. Just try to picture any character she plays being bubbly, it just isn't right. This is how I would picture Azula(Avatar) as bubbly: "HEY Zuzu! I missed you today! How have you been, my adorable and sweet older brother! My day was fine! Actually, dad and I went shopping today and we both got new high heels!!" This is why I think she is so talented. Instead of making Azula a bubbly person, which resembles Grey's personality, she changes her tone to dark and evil.
She has mad skillz.
