Caroline Lawson
Description
Caroline Lawson is the professional name used by the American voice actress Carrie Keranen, particularly for roles recorded in the early to mid-2000s. This name is associated with a significant body of work in anime dubbing, primarily produced by New York-based studios like 4Kids Entertainment and NYAV Post. As just one example of her work from this period, she provided the voice for the character Seiko Rikiishi in the English language adaptation of the anime series Shrine of the Morning Mist, a production by NYAV Post for Media Blasters.
Keranen's career in voice acting began after she moved to New York City, where her first major role was as Mokuba Kaiba in the fifth season of the popular series Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters, a part for which she was credited as Caroline Lawson. This period marked her entry into the industry, during which she also voiced characters in other well-known titles such as various roles in the Pokémon series, Kumiko Yamaguchi in Gokusen, and Mimi in Mew Mew Power under the same pseudonym. Her work during this time extended beyond anime to include video game voice work, such as providing voices for Annie Stoakes in Red Dead Revolver.
Throughout her career, Keranen has maintained recurring collaborations with several key studios and directors. A significant and long-standing partnership has been with NYAV Post, the studio behind the English dub of Shrine of the Morning Mist. In addition to voice acting, her collaboration with this studio has expanded to include production and direction roles. She has served as a production manager on series like Ah! My Goddess and as an ADR (Automated Dialogue Replacement) Director for major projects, including the Netflix re-dub of the iconic series Neon Genesis Evangelion and its associated films. Her work has also frequently placed her alongside other prominent voice actors in the New York and Los Angeles talent pools.
Among her notable achievements are several widely recognized roles. She is known for voicing the determined and powerful Satsuki Kiryuin in the critically acclaimed series Kill la Kill. She also took on the role of Casca in the English dubs for the various Berserk anime adaptations. In the realm of animated series, she is the English voice of Alya Césaire, the best friend of the titular hero in the internationally popular show Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir. Her extensive voice work in video games is also a significant part of her legacy, with prominent roles including Lux in League of Legends, Mami Tomoe in Puella Magi Madoka Magica, and several characters in the long-running Hyperdimension Neptunia series.
