Were you aware of Trigun or a fan of the series before becoming involved? Did you ever meet its creators or your Japanese counterparts? You had been doing voice work for anime dubs for several years prior to playing Meryl. If you’re the first one to record your role in the scene, you and the director set the tone for all the other actors in that scene to play off of. If you’re lucky, the actor who’s character is in the scene with you has already recorded, so you have their performance to act with. It’s so lonely! :)~ You get used to it though. When you dub anime into English, it’s just you alone in the booth, with a mic, a script and the Japanese version on the monitor, and you can see the director and engineer through a glass window, and hear the director and the “three beeps” in your headphones. It was, and is, the same as 99% of all recording for anime: the actors don’t record all together in a big room on multiple mics like in original animation. But I do think she ended up with a deep affection and respect for him.Ĭan you describe the recording process for Trigun? Was it in any way different from other roles you’d had up to that point? I also enjoyed how her attitude towards Vash changed throughout the series - I don’t think she was ever actually “in love” with him, even when it was clear she was trying to sort out her feelings.
However, she can also be a teensy bit ditsy now and then, which is something that she’s not proud of - and out of embarrassment can react even slightly wackier! And I love this about her - she kind of wears her emotions on her sleeve, but deep down, wishes she was better able to control that. How do you feel about Meryl these days?ĭorothy Elias-Fahn: Well, first off - I love Meryl! She’s very good at her job and takes pride in a job well done. At the same time, some fans see Meryl as a you-love-her-or-you-hate-her character. The Dot and Line: Your role as Meryl Stryfe is one of your most well-known among many in your career. Check out our retrospective essay on the show and read our interview with Vash the Stampede’s voice actor Johnny Yong Bosch after you digest this conversation with Dorothy Elias-Fahn, who played Meryl Stryfe.
