Carly McKillip
Description
Carly McKillip is a Canadian actress and musician recognized for providing the English dub voice of Sakura Avalon, the title character in the anime television series Cardcaptors and its accompanying film Cardcaptors: The Movie. This Nelvana-produced English adaptation introduced the character of Sakura to North American audiences in the early 2000s, and McKillip's performance as the enthusiastic card-capturing heroine remains her most prominent role in the anime genre.
McKillip began her career as a child actress, with her early work including appearances in live-action television series such as The X-Files and The Marshal. Her transition into voice acting saw her take on several other roles in animated projects. Beyond Cardcaptors, her anime and animation voice credits include the role of Portia in Sabrina: Friends Forever, Anna in Bratz Girlz Really Rock, and Gina in Barbie as the Island Princess. She also provided a voice for the character Otome Kurogane in the English dub of the anime series Tsuyokiss and performed additional voices for episodes of the educational animated series Cyberchase. In non-anime animation, she voiced the character Sincerity Travers in the series What About Mimi?
In addition to her voice work, McKillip is also a musician and singer. She was a former lead vocalist for the Vancouver-based band Borderline and later formed the country music duo One More Girl with her sister, releasing an album titled Big Sky in 2009. Her musical background includes playing piano and keyboard, and she was nominated for a British Columbia Country Music Association Award for Best Keyboard Player. Her career reflects a blend of live-action acting, voice-over work for animation, and a parallel path in the music industry.
