Veronica Taylor Talks Ash Ketchum and Voice Acting with Kotaku
If you’ve ever watched Pokémon episodes from the US made in the late 90s/early aughts (or Sailor Moon, One Piece, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or Grave Of The Fireflies) you’re familiar Veronica Taylor’s work. Tom Regan spoke to Veronica Taylor for Kotaku:
“I just really liked the colour and the energy,” recalls Taylor, with an infectious smile. “We watched a tiny Japanese snippet and then had to get our voice as close as we could to that character. There was no practising ahead of time, no reading the script – you just came in, watched for about three minutes on a loop and took your shot.”
Playing both a concerned mother and a determined child, the pregnant Taylor found herself channelling a weirdly existential energy in the booth—and it paid off. The last-minute audition she’d just nailed? Pokémon.
