Abby Trott is an American voice actor who performs characters in video games and animated series. Voice actors provide the speech for characters, and some also sing music used in games.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is a Nintendo fighting game that brings together characters from many games, while Castlevania is a long-running series about the Belmont family, who hunt supernatural threats. Trott’s roles connect her with both series, as well as anime such as Demon Slayer and Dandadan.
Acting work is usually secured one role at a time, through auditions, so a performer’s workload can vary. Trott has said that high-profile jobs have not removed that uncertainty for her.
