Description
This month's Voice Tribute goes to Erica Lindbeck, an incredible voice actress known for anime, cartoons, video games and even one hell of an amazing indie cartoon. As previously announced, the decision to move forward with this Tribute this week as opposed to next month was a last minute decision, due to the fact that Erica deleted her social media accounts following harassment for (checks notes) asking politely to take down a video that used her voice thru AI without her consent. From what I hear, Erica is strong and kind, and is not likely to let something like this keep her down, so I choose to believe she's just on a break from social media to get away from the cesspool of toxicity that supports the use of AI. Let this be a continuing lesson that AI harms artists of all forms, and I do not support the use of my drawings or voice (because I have done some voice stuff) to be used in AI in any form.
With that rant out of the way, here are her characters.

Also scattered around the illustration are nine other references to characters she's played throughout her career. Can you name them all?

NOTE: This illustration is the definitive version of the Tribute, but may be changed or updated in the future, depending on circumstances. The selection of characters is based on popular representation, but also personal gratification, either to the voice actor in question, or to myself. If any character you wanted to see represented here is not, I apologize, but this is just how I wanted to craft the picture. Please understand.
