Karine Vanasse is a Canadian actress and voice performer known primarily for her work in film and television. While she has extensive experience in live-action roles, her contributions as a voice actor include dubbing work for animated productions, particularly for the Canadian French market. Her voice acting portfolio includes dubbing for foreign-language media, which occasionally encompasses anime-styled or animated action franchises.

One notable role is providing the Canadian French voice for Maggie Madsen in the 2007 live-action film Transformers. While this film is not an anime, it is an entry point into voice work for a major franchise with a significant animated and anime-influenced history. In this production, she voiced the character for the Canadian French dub, joining a cast of voice actors who adapted the English-language film for a Francophone Canadian audience.

Vanasse began her career as a child host on the Quebecois children's television show Les Debrouillards. She later transitioned into acting, gaining critical acclaim in her home province for dramatic roles before expanding into international projects. Her background as a bilingual performer fluent in English and French has made her a natural fit for dubbing assignments. Her voice work extends beyond a single project; she has been involved in dubbing for approximately fifteen other roles, including providing French voices for actresses such as Blake Lively and Isla Fisher. She has also performed voice work for the Quebecois version of the animated series South Park, in the role of Wendy Testaburger.

In addition to dubbing live-action and Western animation, Vanasse has voiced characters in original animated films. She provided the voice for the character Morgäa in the 2021 Canadian animated feature Felix and the Treasure of Morgäa. This role is a direct voice acting credit for an animated movie, distinct from her dubbing work for international productions. Her involvement in such projects highlights her presence in the voice acting community in Quebec and Canada.

While Vanasse has received numerous awards and nominations for her on-screen performances, including Genie and Canadian Screen Awards for her roles in Polytechnique and Cardinal, her voice work has also been recognized within the industry. In 2025, she received a Gémeaux Award nomination for Best Animation - Game or Reality Show for her hosting work on Les Traitres, demonstrating her versatility as a performer in broadcast media. Her voice acting achievements are a part of a broader career that encompasses live-action acting, production, and hosting. However, specific information about a substantial body of work strictly within Japanese anime voice acting remains limited, with her known contributions primarily situated in the realm of French-language dubbing for Western films and original Canadian animation.
