Description
Lindsay Jones is an American voice actor known for their extensive work with the production company Rooster Teeth. Born on September 6, 1989, in Dallas, Texas, they attended the University of Texas at Austin, where they initially performed under the stage name Lindsay Kavlin. Jones began their career at Rooster Teeth in a behind-the-scenes role as an audio editor before becoming a prominent on-screen personality in the company's gaming division, Achievement Hunter, and taking on various voice acting roles.
Jones's most significant and defining voice role is that of Ruby Rose in the animated series RWBY. The role was offered to them by the series' creator, Monty Oum, who felt Jones shared some of the character's social awkwardness. Jones has stated they focused on channeling Ruby's innocence in their performance. They have voiced Ruby Rose consistently since the series began in 2013, appearing in the main web series, the chibi-style spin-off RWBY Chibi, and various video game adaptations like RWBY: Grimm Eclipse and BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle. This long-standing role continued with the 2022 anime adaptation, RWBY: Ice Queendom, for which the original English cast, including Jones, reprised their characters for the English language dub.
Beyond their signature role, Jones's voice acting career is closely tied to Rooster Teeth productions, demonstrating frequent collaborations with the company's in-house talent and creators. A notable recurring collaboration is with their spouse, Michael Jones, with whom they have voiced characters in the same projects, such as the anime series Overlord. In Overlord, Lindsay Jones provided the voice for Imina in the English dub. Other prominent voice roles within the Rooster Teeth umbrella include Kimball in the long-running series Red vs. Blue and Space Kid in the animated series Camp Camp. They also contributed as a director and writer for the cartoon series X-Ray and Vav, in addition to voicing the character Hilda.
A significant achievement in Jones's career is the sustained recognition and cultural impact of their role as Ruby Rose. RWBY has amassed a large global following, and Jones has been the definitive voice of its main character for over a decade.
