'Running With Your Imagination Like You Would When You Were 6!'' - Laura Bailey | Funko's Fun Chat

[@DougieFresh_83]

Laura is one of my favorite VAs. I especially love her voice work as Jaina in WoW!

[@croteam17]

Oh yeah Dougie Fresh, she is also my fave VA too, next to Tara Strong, she is also iconic and cool (Jania Proudmoore and Black Widow are her biggest roles) ✌️👍☺️😉😎

[@GuitarJosh161]

@@croteam17 Don't forget Trunks and Abby from TLoU2

[@croteam17]

Oh yeah@@GuitarJosh161, i know that she voiced kid Trunks, but i had no idea that she was Abby in TLOU game (plus, glad that you recongnized Laura Bailey) ✌️👍😎😉❤️‍🔥🔥👑

[@anthonymarcello1265]

Didn't realize she was Jaina. Got a friend who named his daughter after Jaina!

[@croteam17]

Oh that's super awesome @@anthonymarcello1265, i had no idea that your friend names his daughter Jaina, after Laura Bailey's super popular role, that's truly way past cool (and yeah, she truly is The real Jania Proudmoore and Black Widow) 😍🤩😻👏🥰😇😉😎

[@matthijsclaessen8152]

I honestly waited for the harp sounds when her name appeared... (-:

[@Thurrak]

It's adorable when Laura gets excited about what she is talking about she gets all hand wavy :) Love her.

[@jenny_of_oldstones3523]

She looks great in those fall colors!!

[@testfire3000]

Isn't that just the cutest outfit!? Love it!

[@cayacrooks3880]

I would love more Critical Role Funko Pops!

[@ShadowmanTKK]

Jester Funko when plz

[@ThatThereWesty]

This. Have the 9 from the first wave, would LOVE M9 pops

[@evelyne1307]

I would too! I became a fan during the pandemic so I missed out on the VM funko pops and now all the ones I can find are crazy expensive 😢

[@ThatThereWesty]

​@evelyne1307 yeah I had to import my Trinket and Vex on Broom from Australia!

[@JericoV]

Shes a legend

[@croteam17]

No mistake in that JericoV, Laura Bailey is a real OG VA legend, like Tara Strong 👍✌️😎😉💫✨🙌

Fun fact: I used to work with Laura's sister Jenny at a comic book shop. She became a good friend. I never met Laura, though, and I've since lost touch with Jenny. I hope she's well!

[@croteam17]

Woah, that's truly cool of you BuraDDRun, you worked with Laura Bailey's sister, at your local comic book shop, and i am glad that you are friends with her sister (i do hope that you two are still in good contact) 😮👏✌️🙌🤩😍🙏🙌

[@ProbieKnox]

Fun fact: Proceeds to brag.

[@testfire3000]

That's awesome!

[@LeleMjHere]

that's pretty cool! from the way laura speaks of jenny she seems like a fun person

[@Jeremycook_]

​@@croteam17they literally said they lost contact with her.

[@sternelvis]

Wish she did more anime these days. It was always a treat when i would hear her voice coming out of a character in those early Funimation days, and was like " awesome, Laura Bailey is in this one"

[@katef136]

I would love a re-mastered version of Dragon Age with Laura Bailey doing a voiced version of the Hero of Ferelden.

[@Shinobido567]

i had the pleasure of meeting Laura and Travis in Brisbane during a convention in 2017,she was so sweet and Travis is just as awesome as you think they are

[@johannord4778]

Cool and great that they were as awesome and sweet as they appear since it is not mostly not the case

[@mydogeatspuke]

Meeting an actor or someone who's famous in some way during a convention or event they're paid to attend isn't really meeting them. You're meeting their work persona. Of course they come across as nice, it's called being professional and doing their job!

[@hsd287]

Totally opposite of MJ and Fisk ❤

[@VladaArt]

I'm in love with this beautiful lady, she is so fun and charismatic

[@bateshell2]

She's been doing voices since I was a teen during the PS2/Xbox days! A legend in the industry!

[@dale4039]

Laura Bailey is painfully gorgeous and funny AF, she's adorable always had a crush on her, you can't not love her

[@tanjimahsan5787]

Laura bailey's voice is just the cutest i really love her voice as tohru i really love tohru

[@logansrevenge1214]

The coolest thing about all of this is that just by being friends having fun, they gave themselves jobs😂. Thats freaking 👌

[@WolfMoon173]

Aww Mighty Nein Funkos when cause I will buy all of them :D

[@alancalvillo6756]

I love Laura Bailey

[@violetofviolence]

She'll always be Tohru to us. Fruits basket was the first anime and manga my children were allowed to read.

[@frankrobinsjr.1719]

Sorry for those who disagree, but I still think one of her best jobs was for Valkyria Chronicles as Isara Gunther. (Side note; Liam and Sam were also working on that title.)

[@ETG715]

Really cool seeing Laura Bailey here I really don't get why people would send her death threats all because of one character she voiced in the last of us

[@mydogeatspuke]

You don't? It's not about her. It's about them, and their.. problems. There are a lot of people in the world with very severe.. problems. Threats are the least of their disturbing behaviours.

[@hsd287]

It was more of shock nobody expected her character to do all that

[@mydogeatspuke]

@@hsd287 but she isn't the character....

[@VeArk]

Laura Bailey in Kodocha is my favorite work of hers.

[@deltablaze77]

A good set of questions, I really enjoyed that. Laura Bailey (Harp Music) was fantastic as always.

[@JeremyLambright]

I didn't know Laura auditioned for Jack. I'm glad Courtenay got the job though, she did an amazing job. Also, how amazing it must have been to work with Mark Hamill!

[@johannord4778]

She landed the role as Oriana

[@JeremyLambright]

@@johannord4778 Thank you, I didn't know that.

LAURA BAILEYYY

[@blakegrant6181]

Laura the best and no one can ever replace her

[@adogg281]

I liked her as kait Diaz from the gears series. As well as Abby from TLOU2.

[@xenosaga8436]

I was hoping she'd talk about working with Travis on Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood or working with Liam in Nier.

[@paulvontarsus729]

It's amazing when a woman with an amazing voice also looks so beautiful

[@Raina92]

Yay!!!

[@Carnerd101]

She's a gem.

She is a national treasure.

[@fehnnovak84]

Mighty Nein Pops pleaseee!!!

[@RogueScholarBlue]

Wait…did Laura say she wanted to be in the *original* Dragon Age Origins or DA in general cause…she plays two characters in Inquisition 😆

[@rustlepalace-inn7229]

Epic story. I’m jealous of her path! Love her!

[@tribaltalker1608]

It's strange when you first watch the Critical Role team playing DnD and think "Hey, do I recognise that voice? And that one too?", then do some research and find that you've been hearing many of the cast's voices for years already.

[@hsd287]

Ppl already know Laura for years mainly because of Telltale games

[@phoenixrising7736]

Laura Bailey is one of my most amazing super heroes. I hope one day I get to meet her. 5 minutes is all I want. lol

[@richardsuplee8137]

Hope this is good enws for new funko pops of critical role

[@TheTidobanditto]

That intro is insane..........

[@tonyc.0451]

One of Laura Bailey's funnier roles was Shin Nohara from Crayon Shin-Chan. Who knew that she'd be capable of making fart jokes?

[@artiegatsby4879]

Laura Bailey runs with her imagination the way I ran with scissors. xD CAREFUL-- someone's gonna get hurt and it's gonna be freaking hilarious.

[@christophermoore5007]

I would love to see you guys do pink panther funko POPs.

interview with the lucky person who happen to be in mercer's dnd group. nobody would have known her without him. the same thing for all the rest in the group except sam riegel who actually has talent. especially marisha ray though. no talent whatsoever.

[@lexim.7582]

Dude you know that the majority of them were successful Voice actors/directors decades BEFORE critical role ever happened. There’s thousands of people who love and respect Laura Bailey and her work and have never even heard of critical role. One of the biggest reasons critical role initially blew up was because people recognized them from their previous voice work. Besides, there’s more to talent than voice acting . Marisha is literally CR’s creative director, and that’s not just some honorary title.

[@richardsuplee8137]

Matt will be horrified at your comment. They're all seasoned pros with Ashley johnson having a lot of roles. And your comment about marisha just screams sexism

[@peridaniel8265]

laura bailey was one of the reasons i got into critical role in the first place. she's been voice acting since fuckin 1999. you'd have to live under a damn rock to be a video game enthusiast who doesn't know her name.

[@hsd287]

What ? U think she isn't talented

[@demogorgon4244]

Ah yes the woman who won a game award just for being a woman.

[@richardsuplee8137]

She won it because she's damn good at her job. She an award winning voice actress in other things and is well known for being a great performer. Look at this comment section and all the praise she's getting.

[@neruba2173]

@@richardsuplee8137 "Look at a republican rally and see how much praise Trump is getting". What kind of shitty rebbutal is that? FYI people voted Daisuke Tsuji for the japanese voice of Jin Sakai in Ghost of Tsushima that year as it always done, but the "critics" overruled them to give it to her because she played an agenda pushing character. Im not saying she is a bad actress, get over your simping, Im saying that that award was not deserved.

[@richardsuplee8137]

@neruba2173 you just said popularity doesn't matter then used the fact that another actor game won a popularity contest. Weird. She won multiple awards for that character like a freaking BAFTA.
