Julie Basecqz is a Belgian-Canadian voice actress, animator, and artistic director, recognized for her extensive work in the French dubbing of anime series and films. Born on December 10, 1976, in Ottawa, Canada, she developed an early interest in the performing arts, studying drama at the University of Ottawa and later at the Centre d'Études Théâtrales at the Université de Louvain-la-Neuve in Belgium. She culminated her formal training by earning a First Prize in Dramatic Art from the Conservatoire Royal de Bruxelles in 2000.

Basecqz's career in voice acting began serendipitously when she observed recording sessions in Brussels studios, which led to her first dubbing roles. She quickly established herself as a versatile performer, capable of voicing a wide range of characters from young boys and teenage girls to adult women and even animals. Her anime filmography is extensive and includes several notable roles. She is the voice of Mitsuki Hayase in the drama series Rumbling Hearts, Sprocket in Viewtiful Joe, and Vogue Merry in the One Piece special Episode of Merry: Mō Hitori no Nakama no Monogatari. She has also been a prominent figure in the long-running dub of the One Piece series, providing the voices for numerous characters such as Kaya, Conis, Aisa, Perona, and Tashigi, among others. Her work in other major franchises includes roles as Lucy/Nyu in Elfen Lied, Tea Gardner and Alexia Rhodes in Yu-Gi-Oh! and Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, and Umi Ryuuzaki in Magic Knight Rayearth. In the Pokémon anime, she is known as the third voice of Nurse Joy, beginning in season 14, and has also voiced Officer Jenny, Delia Ketchum, and numerous Pokémon.

Beyond performance, Julie Basecqz is highly respected for her work as a voice director, where she has been instrumental in casting and directing French adaptations for major series. She served as a co-artistic director on the French dubs of long-running shows such as Naruto, One Piece, and Adventure Time. Her involvement with One Piece was particularly significant; from the dub's inception in 2008, she not only voiced many characters but also assisted in directing the Belgian voice cast for hundreds of episodes, helping to maintain consistency in the series' French adaptation for years. This dual role as both performer and director highlights a recurring collaboration with the Belgian dubbing community, often working alongside directors and fellow voice actors like Philippe Roullier, Emmanuel Liénart, and Mathieu Moreau on various projects.

Her achievements in the industry extend to co-founding Score Brussels, a studio dedicated to training and professional development for voice actors, and ArtonBoat, an annual gathering for film and arts professionals. While her body of work is vast, she has expressed a particular fondness for the anime and manga universe, citing the passion and engagement of its fans as a unique and rewarding aspect of her career. This connection has led her to participate in fan conventions across Europe, particularly for series like One Piece and My Little Pony, where her portrayal of Rarity garnered a dedicated following.
