Marisa Duran is an American voice actor, known for their work on English dubs of anime.

Career

Duran began their career in 2015 as background walla voices for anime dubs at Funimation.[1] They cite the performances of Brittney Karbowski as Black Star in Soul Eater and Grey DeLisle as Azula in Avatar: The Last Airbender as inspiring their pursuit of voice acting. Karbowski's portrayal of a male character as a female voice actor, and DeLisle's deeper voice with a female role, helped Duran feel there's a place for them in acting.[2]

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Duran invested in home recording equipment and began more aggressively pursuing auditions. This resulted in their first lead role, Hori in Horimiya in 2021. Voice director Caitlin Glass, who cast Duran as Hori, described them as "one of the more talented new voice actors I've come across in recent years."[1]

Duran was nominated for the 2024 Crunchyroll Anime Award for Best Voice Artist Performance (English) (as Sagiri in Hell's Paradise).[3]

Personal life

Duran attended Texas Christian University.[4] They are on the asexuality spectrum, non-binary, and use she/they pronouns.[5]
