Marisha Ray (born May 11th 1989) is an incredibly talented, performer, host, and actor in Los Angeles, CA. Originally from Kentucky, she has since moved to LA and is carving her way into the hearts (and debates) of folk all over the world. Generally hearts of the geeky variety. Well known for starring in the weekly live roleplay series by Geek and Sundry called Critical Role as Keyleth. She is an actress who has provided her voice for numerous video games such as Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Star Wars: Battlefront and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Margaret from the Persona series and Laura S. Arseid from The Legend of Heroes series. She also writes and produces a Geek and Sundry show called Signal Boost. She starred in and wrote some episodes of a horror web series called 8.13 which was awarded Best Writing in a Horror Series by the LA Webfest Awards. Marisha relatively new to the voice-over industry, but she's shown a lot of potential talent in the recent years. Ray's work in Fire Emblem is great and showcases a lot of her range, and Marisha has improved with every gig she's appeared in over the past few years in her career.
