Jessica Straus

Jessica Suzanne Straus (born November 14, 1962 in Los Angeles, California) is an American actor and voice actor. She graduated from UC Santa Barbara with a degree in theater arts. Aside from voice acting, she has also performed on stage and has taken on several TV roles.

In her younger years, Straus was very imaginative as a child. She loved acting and often pretended to play super heroes outside at home. This led her to take up acting courses which paved the way for her entry in the dubbing industry. She eventually became an instructor herself and currently offers voice-over lessons for beginning and intermediate voice actor trainees. She also inspired Kira Buckland to pursue a career in voice acting as well.

For Strauss, each role is an experience that allowed her to improve in some way. She acknowledges that it takes more effort to articulate certain words and phrases clearly while adapting to her role faithfully according to an interview by Koei Warriors.

Strauss usually voices female characters who happen to be strong or willful in some way. Some of the roles she has done include but are not limited to Bianca de Sainte-Coquille in Rune Factory: Frontier, Muzét in Tales of Xillia, and Daryl Cavendish in Little Witch Academia.
