Emmy Altava is still my favorite of her roles - it's always fun seeing Emmy in Layton games.

Too bad the character had to leave at the end of Azran Legacy... I would have loved to see more of her and Jean Descole in Curious Village, Pandora's Box, VS. Ace Attorney and Lost Future.

One particular project where Ms. Minella directed AND added her voice is a very obscure game on the Wii called "America's Next Top Model". In January 2017, a Let's Play channel called Lucahjin (along with her fiancé) dove into the world of the model protagonist who was dubbed "Smefanye" (like Stephanie, but with an "m"). Ever since the LP finished, it grew a cult following within her circle, which included myself, and each video of the playthrough was an opportunity to learn about this "Smefanye" and the star behind her character. Lucahjin also has done livestreams on Twitch featuring games with Lani Minella's voice (for a while unknowingly), and when people in the chat pointed out that Smefanye, Nancy Drew, Lucas, and other prominent characters were part of Minella's portfolio, needless to say we started to admire her work even more and henceforth started adding more to the "lore" of the elusive Smefanye.

Smefanye was a detective. She was a model. She also became a god (Lord) in "Act Raiser" and a rancher in "Monster Rancher". For many livestreams, we try to incorporate a totally made-up character with a fan-canon habit of reincarnating, we very much enjoyed the hilarity that began with America's Next Top Model and Nancy Drew.

Although we heard that Minella may not be able to feature her voice in future Nancy Drew games, we wish her the best for her career path and would love to see more of her work in film if not video games.

Sincerely, J.N.

And she's back for Soul Calibur VII! This makes me really happy since it's easily her best role. I just wish I had a PS4...

It's pretty safe to say that she's one of the most versatile VAs in the industry. Even if you don't like her roles you have to admit that. I will admit that it was wrong of me to give her so much hate for Mia. Forgive me.

Now Lani Minella has a vast range. Some of them you wouldn't even expect were actually her at all. The voices in Darksiders impressed me the most though.

The fact that she voices Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky *and* Petrie in *two* Land Before Time games is an automatic "Dang, she has range!".

@DravenRoth994 thanks for the video. I was wondering in 1:27 of the video isn't that Bill Corkery behind the recording booth?

@Mr. Kite sorry I just saw this and yes it was Bill Corkery. The news guy back at the news station was not there for the interview and the edits he made removed many of the more interesting voices I did.

I never knew she voiced Eve in ME3. Definitely her best role, I never would have guessed that was her.

She's not a bad voice actress, but I only wish she'd stop limiting her voicework to only video games.

@LordofEvil96 I agree. She's got a lot of versatility, and is a great voice actress, it would be neat to hear in more anime or western animation. However, her production company is a well-known video game recording studio, so I imagine all her effort is put toward that.

@LordofEvil96 My real love is animation but Disney and Pixar normally cast celebs for that. SO I agree, bring on the animation. Yay!
