Cristina Vee

Anime fans channel their interest in various ways. Some just blog about it, like me. Some buy a 200-ringgit wig just to cosplay, like m'egu. Some buy a huge range of anime dvds and figurines, like Zaido.

And some do fandubbing. And as far as fandubs go, they can get VERY ugly.

But not much so in the case of Cristina Vee. Not only is she a talented singer, she also mixes her songs well to match the original opening theme. Though the lyrics are written by someone else, she insists that they should closely match the original.

Considering that she's doing it for fun, she does have a few loose ends here and there, but all in all it's really the most professional english anisong I've heard in a while (my ears were bleeding before I saw her vids).

It's because of these vids that she was hired to do some english voice acting for Samurai Champloo, Hare and Guu, and Rozen Maiden. Congrats to her! May she make the anime dubbing world less of a pain for the ears.

Here are three of her best amateur works, imo.

Ouran High School Host Club - Sakura Kiss

She really sounds like Haruhi, doesn't she? O_O
