Biography

Ballard grew up in Paris, Texas.[2][5] She was inspired to get into voice acting when she attended an anime convention and learned that Funimation was only two hours from her hometown. In college, she was a participant in the Disney College Program, after which she changed her major to theatre.[5] She completed an associate degree from Paris Junior College with an emphasis on Theatre and Art.[2][6][7] Her profile for the podcast series That Anime Show indicated that she pursued a Bachelor's degree in Theatre Arts with an emphasis on the psychological detailing of fictional characters, and a minor in Communication studies.[8]

Ballard's first voice acting gig was at Funimation where she worked with Monica Rial.[5] She played Young Asim in Dragonaut: The Resonance. She later had a larger role as Rachel Calvin in Linebarrels of Iron.[2]

Outside of voice acting, Ballard has co-created a Super Mario Bros. themed online comic called Koopasta.[9][10]
