Alison Lohman
Description
Alison Lohman is an American actress primarily known for her work in live-action film and television, but she has one notable credit as an anime voice actor. She provided the English dub voice for the title character in the 2005 Disney-distributed English-language version of Hayao Miyazaki's 1984 film Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. This performance marks her sole role in anime voice acting.
Lohman was selected for the role of Nausicaä, a compassionate princess and warrior, beating out actress Natalie Portman for the part. The English dub of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, in which she starred alongside voice actors such as Uma Thurman, Patrick Stewart, and Edward James Olmos, was released in 2005 and was well-received by critics and audiences. Special features on home video releases of the film include a behind-the-scenes segment titled Behind the Microphone, featuring Lohman along with other members of the voice cast.
Apart from this single project, Lohman does not have a broader career as an anime voice actor, and there are no records of recurring collaborations with specific directors, studios, or fellow voice actors within the anime industry. While she earned recognition and awards for her live-action film performances in the early 2000s, including a Hollywood Film Award for her role in Matchstick Men, her voice work for Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind remains her only contribution to the field of anime.
