Laura Bailey was just a local theater student in a Texas college when she auditioned for some voice acting roles at Funimation, landing her first role as Kid Trunks in the popular Dragonball Z series. Since then she has become one of the top female voice actors in the country. Her most popular roles include the sweet and optimistic Tohru Honda in Fruits Basket, the sci-fi girl Marlene in Blue Gender, the sultry homunculi Lust in Full Metal Alchemist, the wildly hyper tween actress Sana Kurata in Kodocha, and the Bart Simpson-like wisecracking fiveMore year old Shin-Chan in Shin-Chan.

Laura has not only voiced a diverse set of characters, but also done voice directing in the series Gunslinger Girl and Kodocha (of which she also plays the lead characters), as well as several episodes of Case Closed. She has also served as the Line Producer for the Funimation adaptation of Shin-Chan. Outside of cartoons and anime, Laura has acted on-screen on various film productions as Four Sheets to the Wind, Mr. Brooks, The Ruffian, and the Lifetime TV movie The Staircase Murders. In the video game world, Laura voices title characters Rayne in BloodRayne and Alex D in Deus Ex: the Invisible War.


Laura resides in Southern California as she continues to further her on-screen acting career, but has continued to be involved in voice acting in LA, playing Anko and Toki in Naruto, and Mashiro and Halibel in Bleach. Laura makes regular visits to the Dallas / Ft. Worth area, and attends several anime conventions every year to meet her adoring fans.

    Laura is such a talented person. She is able to change her voice very well. it took me a while to know that she was sana in Kodocha. she can go from acting all inocient to completly wild. And for those who havn't noticed she also play's Shi Chan from Shi chan. So far in her carreer she has played at least 24 anime people. She is also a actress. you may have seen her in Roberta - Walker, Texas Ranger. Okay so thats kind of old. and even though playing these roles are hard she keeps on going no matter what.

    You go girl! (updated 8-15-06) hide show

    Laura's one of the few actors I've actually seen in person, thanks to a recent visit to the Anime Expo. I missed the FMA premiere to see her, and in retrospect, it was worth it. She has a nice charm and rapport with her fans.

    I first heard Laura in Fruits Basket, well, actually before that in Dragonball Z and GT but didn’t pay much attention until she charmed me in Fruits Basket as an innocent teenager girl Tohru Honda, speaking nervously trying to calm down the crazy Sohma family.

    Then I was pleasantly surprised when I found out she voiced Lust in Fullmetal Alchemist, and was amazed at the depth she provided that character. A lot of voice actors can’t break their typical typecast sound, but she did.

    Then she surprised me once again by playing the hyper girl Sana Kurata in the Kodocha series. In there she speaks at 100mph and raps crazy songs and speeches; this is a can't miss.

    Probably her closest to normal voice would be Ryoko in the mystery anime Spiral, or when she gives some commentaries.

    Laura's got lots of potential, and with many future roles in Funimation, should have a good career there. If you can, see and say hello to her before she becomes too popular ;).

    She does a great job playing Thoru in Fruits Basket, so innocent and pure! and I love her role as Lust in Fullmetal Alchemist, so clever and cold! I loved it! she did a great job on those characters! I didn't even reconize her voice when my friend told me that Laura Bailey who plays Thoru was playing Lust in Fullmetal I was just so surprised, it didn't even sound the same....lol! so yes! Laura Bailey! does a great job!
