Kimberly Brooks

reference Kimberly Brooks grew up in sunny Southern California, and honestly, you can kinda hear that energy in her voice work. She’s been a fixture in the voiceover world since she was a kid—started doing stage stuff at eight, then just kept going. By the time college rolled around, she’d gone full theater major, and all that practice paid off big time. Her first big animation gig? The cult hit “Rugrats.” After that, doors just kept opening. You’ve probably heard her voice even if you didn’t realize it. She’s done promos for NBC, FOX, SoapNet, Investigation Discovery, and she’s basically the official voice of E! South Africa. In cartoons, she’s everywhere. Remember Luna from the Hex Girls in “Scooby-Doo!”? That’s her. On “Doc McStuffins,” she’s not just Mom, she’s also the surfer girl—talk about range. “Voltron” fans know her as Princess Allura, and she’s the villainous Stormy in “Winx Club.” Oh, and if you’ve watched “Steven Universe,” that rough-and-tumble Jasper? Yep, Kimberly. Even “South Park” brought her in for Classi, adding some questionable ethics to the mix. She’s no stranger to gaming either—Ashley Williams in “Mass Effect,” Oracle in the “Batman: Arkham” games, Daisy Fitzroy in “Bioshock Infinite,” and Bad Juju in “Skylanders: Imaginators.” Throw in some narration work for shows like “Killer Couples,” and you’ve got a voice that’s basically everywhere. Brooks isn’t just a voiceover artist—she’s a straight-up powerhouse in the industry.
