OH MY GOSH!!! She's here! And she's beautifulllllll!!! Here's Yuko Nishiwaki cheering you on from the field!
I commissioned this gorgeous piece from
@avedral
and she absolutely knocked it out of the park! I'm so happy 😍
Crazy how a good casting can elevate a minor character people didn’t really think much about into a huge fan favorite. Shelby Young’s performance made me love this character so much.
YUKO NATION WYA?! 🗣
you guys 😭 literally this whole thread is making me emotional! i'm so happy my performance as yuko is resonating with you all! i attribute a lot of what i was able to do with this character to the wonderful direction i was given by valerie @
@pcbproductions
❤️
WHATS THIS?! Another Yuko Nishiwaki print commissioned from the wildly talented
@avedral
?! And in plenty of time for my Streamily signing on March 30th?! YUP!!!
I ❤️ how cute & awkward Yuko can get when talking feelings &Nancy captured that perfectly! xx
First print signing event was a BLAST!!! Y’all made my day, so many of you had so many sweet things to say and my heart is so full 🥹 From the bottom of my heart thank you to the Persona community for being so warm & welcoming 💙💙
"Approved by affected members of the union’s voiceover performer community..." Uhhh, where and when
@sagaftra
???
Wasn't aware of this until *just* now and I'm the exact type of member you're talking about.
One fun note about LEGO Star Wars that I forgot to mention: if you have voice acting on, the voice actress for Leia in the original trilogy starts A New Hope with a British accent and drops it by the time you leave the Death Star.
That’s some attention to detail I appreciate.
working on the bad batch, and getting to pop around as such vastly different characters over the years, has truly been a dream!
thank you to the cast & crew for making each record a blast and CONGRATS to team bad batch on creating such a beloved piece of star wars history ❤️
@MewKario
i filmed the pilot and helped get the show picked up! then it went non-u so we sadly had to turn the show down, but i think everything worked out exactly how it should have— the other steph’s were amazing! but that’s lil ol’ me on set 😄
Welcome aboard, I’m Yuko Nishiwaki ✨

This May the 4th I'm excited to share that I voice Nadura in Star Wars: Tales of the Empire!
Working with the wonderful

& the
@lucasfilm
animation team.
I hope you all enjoy! xx
So, something really bad happened today. My retina detached. Seemingly out of nowhere. I had a procedure done that will hopefully fix it but if not, I’ll have to have surgery. Could really use some good vibes right now 🙏🏻
Did you know? In LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, during A New Hope,
@shelby_young
voiced Leia with an English accent, but then shifts to an American accent by the time she escapes the Death Star. This was done in order to honor Carrie Fisher’s alternating accents in the movie
Voicing my own mother (and/or my own child?) is a first! You can hear me as Ailish, baby Bayrn 🥹 and Nanny Droid in episode 10 of Star Wars: The Bad Batch!
I love my
@TheBadBatch
fam so much and am beyond grateful to join in on season three!

From starting on the mocap stages, to the facial scans, to being taught how to operate a pcap rig at home during lockdown, this was one of the most wild journey’s of my career! So proud of everyone involved!

Um. So. Some news 👀
I am geeking out and beyond thrilled to announce I’ll be joining the cast of God of War Ragnarök as Skuld!

This is scary. Recording NPC’s is how many voice actors cut their teeth in this industry. This will make it even harder for new talent to break into video games (which tbh can already be pretty difficult to begin with).
I’m worried for game devs and writers as well :/
So, umm, I’ve been keeping a secret from you guys that I got the okay to share - I provided additional voices on this season of

THE BIOPSY CAME BACK CLEAR!!! ITS NOT CANCER! 😭❤️❤️❤️ Simba and I say thank you again for keeping her in your thoughts and for all the good fur-baby vibes!
The baby is home!!! She did so well! We still have to wait on the biopsy result, but the vet is feeling confident it’s benign. It will also be a couple months of meds due to a bad ear infection, but hopefully that’s the worst of it. Thank you all for your sweet messages! 🐾❤️
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Thank you Eric & the
@SonySantaMonica
team for such a beautiful gift! ALSO THIS CHARACTER ART?! Gorgeous!
As for the mystery box… think this calls for an unboxing vid 👀

Thanks everyone for your well wishes! Doctor says it looks like my retina is attached again! Had a crazy laser procedure done this morning. Not out of the woods yet but feeling super hopeful 🤞🏻
THAT WAS SO MUCH FUN! Did not anticipate running out of prints !!! So glad I had my own extra stash. Will be shipping back to the folks at Streamily asap, I hope you all enjoyed the live and especially hope you enjoy your prints! xx
Dear Mr.

When people rush out before eating a full breakfast that their mom/dad/spouse prepared. Like, if imma spend the time whipping up some waffles, an omelete, coffee, the works, you better sit your ass down and EAT IT ALL.
Putting this together blew my mind. Here are all the projects I’ve worked on that released in 2021 🤯 Beyond grateful to get to do what I love for a living!
A-List Actor: We need better residual systems so the working actor can afford to live.
The internet: ur a greedy millionaire, shut up!
Working actor: We need better residual systems so I can afford to live.
