Alexandra Schenke
Description
Alexandra Schenke is a German voice actor and academic, known for her work in dubbing anime series and films. Beyond her voice work, she has a parallel career in academia, focusing on American cultural history and film studies.
Her professional background is rooted in both performance and translation. Before her university studies, Schenke trained at the New York Film Academy and the Matthew Corozine Studios in New York City. She gained practical experience working on international film and theater productions before entering the field of German dubbing, where she has worked as a translator, dialogue writer, and voice actor.
In the realm of anime, Schenke is primarily recognized for her role as Kaede Azusagawa, the younger sister of the protagonist in the franchise Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai. She provided the German voice for the character in the 2018 anime television series and reprised the role for the 2019 film, Rascal Does Not Dream of a Dreaming Girl. Her other notable credits include voicing Chisato Yonamine in the 2019 series Magical Girl Spec-Ops Asuka and Capella in the 2020 web series Queen Zaza: Die letzten Drachenfänger, which is based on the Drifting Dragons manga.
Her work in dubbing has involved collaborations with studios releasing anime in Germany, such as peppermint anime, which handled the Rascal Does Not Dream... titles. In her voice roles, she has frequently dubbed the performances of Japanese voice actors Yurika Kubo, who originally played Kaede Azusagawa, and Rie Kugimiya, the original voice of Capella. Her time as an active voice actor in anime appears to have been focused in a period around 2018 to 2020, as she was not involved in the later 2023 Rascal Does Not Dream... films and was reported to have left the voice acting industry.
