/wiki/Cristina Valenzuelacreator

Cristina Valenzuela, also known as Cristina Vee, is an American voice actress.

She caught the attention of dubbing studio Bang Zoom! Entertainment from a voice acting panel at Anime Expo 2004, an anime convention in Southern California. Since then, Bang Zoom! has continually invited Valenzuela to do voice work in anime, foreign films, and commercials. She has appeared at conventions throughout the United States where she sometimes sings live concerts (this apparently landed her the live action role as ASOS Brigade leader in Haruhi Suzumiya season 2). Cristina's also one of the co-hosts of Anime Olympics and season 2 of Anime TV. She made up a dub of a BlazBlue webcomic, voicing... who else? Noel (the video has been made private). As you can guess, she's One of Us. Recently[when?] she has been working as the voice director of Skullgirls.

Despite her new start, she quickly racked up popularity amongst the new age of voice actors, making her a fan favorite and most of her appearances in many projects will be met with much rejoicing. Yes, that's right, in a quick moment, she is starting to rival the popularities of accomplished ones, the likes of Johnny Yong Bosch, Michelle Ruff, Stephanie Sheh, Yuri Lowenthal, etc... (although still a long way to go until she reaches the memetic status of Crispin Freeman or Steve Blum)

Not to be confused with Christine V (though if FSS ever gets another animated production, the casting choice for her in the English version is fairly obvious...).

Also has Formspring, Youtube, and Twitter accounts. Mind you that since she's really busy on her voice acting work, she may not have time to reply to any submitted questions at her Formspring account. But she does reply to them, eventually.

Notable roles include:
Cristina Valenzuela provides examples of the following tropes:
  1. ↑ Fansubs are often seen as a "political" topic within the anime community for damn good reasons.
  2. ↑ She's not a newcomer though, see her trope page for details
