Melissa Charles is the professional alias used by American voice actress and singer Melissa Fahn, particularly for numerous anime dubbing roles recorded in the 1990s and early 2000s. Born in New York and raised in Huntington Beach, California, she began her entertainment career in dance and community theater before transitioning to voice-over work. Her entry into the industry came when a casting director heard her voice while she was working as a receptionist, leading to her first role in a Betty Boop featurette.

Under the name Melissa Charles, she became a prolific voice for English adaptations of anime during a period of increased distribution of Japanese animation in North America. Among her well-known roles from this era is Mizuki Segawa in the series The Guyver: Bio-Booster Armor, where she is credited alongside her brothers, Tom Fahn and Jonathan Fahn, who also used aliases. She voiced the character Ferris in the science fiction feature Black Magic M-66 and Nanami Rokugou in the supernatural comedy series Phantom Quest Corp. Her other credits from this time include the role of Lei Lin in Samurai: Hunt for the Sword and Amy in Super Dimensional Fortress Macross II: The Movie.

Charles also contributed significantly to the Mobile Suit Gundam franchise. She provided the voice for Frau Bow in the English adaptation of the original Mobile Suit Gundam movie trilogy and played the character Dorothy in the acclaimed OVA series Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket. Her work often involved collaborations with a consistent group of voice actors and ADR engineers based in Los Angeles, frequently alongside her brothers, which was a hallmark of many dubs produced during that period.

Beyond her work credited as Melissa Charles, she has an extensive career under her birth name, Melissa Fahn. This includes the role of Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV in the seminal series Cowboy Bebop, Gaz Membrane in Invader Zim, and Rika Nonaka in Digimon Tamers. She has also performed on Broadway as a member of the original cast of the musical Wicked and has voiced numerous characters in video games, such as Neptune in the Hyperdimension Neptunia series and Silver Wolf in Honkai: Star Rail.
