'''Amanda Winn-Lee''' is an American voice actress, writer and ADR director who works mainly on anime dubs. She was the voice of Mimiru in ''[[.hack|.hack//SIGN]]'', Rally Vincent in ''[[Gunsmith Cats]]'', Yohko Mano in ''[[Devil Hunter Yohko]]'', Momiji Kushinada in ''[[Blue Seed]]'', and was featured most notably as Rei Ayanami of ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' fame. Aside from voice work she has quite often handled production, ADR direction, and the scripting of various projects for her dubbing company Gaijin Productions, LLC. She has also been credited as Amanda Winn, before she was married.

Said commentary has gained a reputation for being somewhat controversial among fans, and to this day (nearly a ''decadedecades later'') she gets hate mail about it. Is it a crime against art, or a rollicking good time? Check out a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrUvol0Hr7U a few excerpts here] and decide for yourself.

It was suggested by [[Spike Spencer]] (her friend as well as fellow voice actor) at Nan Desu Kan 2007 that she was interested in reprising her role(s) in the then-upcoming ''Rebuild of Evangelion'' films. However, in May 2009, North American anime distributor [[FUNimationFunimation]] announced that the role of Rei for the first film ''Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone'' [[The Other Darrin|would be voiced by]] [[Brina Palencia]].

While she hasn't worked on anime in several years so that she could take care of her son's leukemia and subsequent health problems resulting from treatment, you can still hear her in video games, especially [[Atlus]] titles, such as the [[Play StationPlayStation 2]] version of ''[[Disgaea]]'', ''[[Luminous Arc]]'', ''[[Digital Devil Saga]]'', ''[[Persona 4]]'', and ''[[Trauma Team]]''.

Winn-Lee is also famous/infamous in some fan circles [https://www.cjas.org/~leng/con3.txt for antics] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYFLmKgM5RQ at various cons] in the late 90's, most of them involving alcohol. Despite being best known for voicing Rei, it's amusing to note that she has [[Hard-Drinking Party Girl|a lot more]] [[Genki Girl|in common]] [[Ms. Fanservice|with]] [[Cool Big Sis|Misato]] [[Mama Bear|Katsuragi]].
