Jad Saxton

Jad is one of the VA's whose characterizations always catch my ear, and make her character my favorite. From the deadpan delivery of Koneko, or Kanna, to the frenetic emoting of Haruna, or Miss Komoe (perhaps my favorite), she nails it and drives it home. Big fan over here.

The Miss Kobyashi dub wasn't that great ( my opinion ), but I honestly loved your role as Kanna.

You know, the thing I'll say I like the most is just her acting style. I think she's really skilled in general but also really has a good feel for what good anime voice acting should be. And she has a good range too. So certainly one of the best female Funimation VAs, in my opinion.

That's an interesting new picture. If anything I'm getting major Marilyn Monroe scarlet vibes.

Jad's really good at adorable girls. Or any type of girl that needs a higher pitched voice. And let's not forget about quieter girls too, cuz she nails those perfectly, as well. Always glad to see her name in a cast list, and I'm looking forward to more in the future.

Aside from her roles that I took a fancy to as mentioned last year, I thought she did a good job capturing Kotone Fujisaki's characterization also.

Once again, HBD Jad Saxton!

Happy Birthday to Jad Saxton. Among my favourite actresses for her skill in acting and one of the few who I can describe as someone with a pretty and clear sounding voice. First heard of her as Masako Hara from Ghost Hunt, I had a feeling that she's someone I should take notice of.

One of my favourite of roles of Saxton's is Akatsuki from Log Horizon. I saw it as an interesting choice from the powers above in casting Jad, but it turned out to be an excellent one.

I do hope she can land more video game roles. Whether its locally made or even L.A based.

Happy Birthday, Jad Saxton! The voice I usually tend to hear from her is not only adorable, there's also something potent behind it. My favorite Saxton performances at the moment include Sio Ogura, Nona, Koneko Tojo, Sena Kashiwazaki, Jacqueline O. Lantern Dupre, Adelie, and Eve Genoard.

Did you know her name's pronounced "Jade"?, according to Wikipedia it's a blend of her parents' names (Jimmy- mom, David- dad). I know the regulars here know this, but i don't think every layfolk does.

Happy (Belated) Birthday Jad Saxton!

Oh man does she not only sound cute but look it too. If I had to pick a favourite role of hers it'd be Sena from Haganai. She was an absolute blast in that role and the voice she did reminded me of Cherami Leigh. Koneko Tojo from High School DXD would be a pretty close second.

I also loved her performances as Yuki, Faris Nyannyan, Haruna, Jacqueline O. Lantern Dupre, Komoe Tsukuyomi, Onikiri, Eve Genoard, Komissa, Adelie and despite me not being too fond of this character, Carla too. I most likely her voice as it reminds me of Tabitha St. Germain's Rarity.

@VGAfanatic That is probably a joke of some sort. Her talent agency lists her age range as 20s-30s as well as including "licensed driver" on her resume, and her LinkedIn says she graduated from university in 2005.

2013 so far has been pretty impressive for Jad in the number of roles. Now she's attending conventions things are looking good.

IAMTHEVASTUNIVERSE
said at 1:31 PM on Wed Dec 5 2012

She was able to grab 15 roles in the year 2012 that's unheard of unless you're Monica Rial or Brina Palencia but for someone who still fairly new to voiceover its a rare feat in itself. I can't say I'm a huge fan of Jad but I do find her to be a decent actress.

@IAMTHEVASTUNIVERSE

In my opinion it's not that shocking. If a VA at Funimation works on at least 1 new show new month that's 12 new roles in a year. Even for VAs who do only additional voices it seems like a pretty standard number.

It's when you start hitting 20 different titles per year that's when it starts to be pretty impressive; especially when they're either main or recurring roles.

e.g. Jamie Marchi and Luci Christian (though Luci also has the benefit of working on projects @ Seraphim Digital to boost her number)

Anyways good for Jad for moving up the ladder!

I really liked her work in Is This a Zombie?, Strike Witches and B Gata H Kei.

@Jackson_H I recently watched the first half of Steins Gate and Jad was quite solid as Faris Nyannyan its the best work I've heard from her to date.
