Big break
Laura Bailey was spotted by voice actor Kent Williams at one of her college plays, and he invited her to audition for Funimation while it was working on Dragon Ball Z.
A first
Laura Bailey provided the voice of Marlene Angel, the lead character in Blue Gender. That anime was the first project Funimation took on that was not part of the Dragon Ball world.
Behind the camera
After roughly four years at Funimation, Bailey moved into ADR directing. Her early credits included Blue Gender: The Warrior and episodes of Case Closed, and Gunslinger Girl became her first major project as a director.
A change of course
Bailey acted in school plays and had a passing interest in acting, but planned to become a biologist. Watching a Dawson's Creek behind-the-scenes special, which included an interview with Katie Holmes, showed her acting could be a career.
First role
Bailey's first major part was Kid Trunks on Dragon Ball Z, voiced raspily. She first tried to do the role while in college, but on her lecturer's advice she quit attending to focus on voice acting.
