Jessica Cavanagh is a voice actor, theatre artist, and writer composed of many different geekdoms smooshed into one lady-body. A voice actor with Funimation Entertainment (now Crunchyroll!!) for the past decade, Jess can be heard in over 100 titles but is most known for her roles in fan favorites My Hero Academia (as Deku’s sweet mama, Inko Midoriya!).
In addition to being a Voice Over Actress, she is also an ADR writer, and accomplished playwright! Her semi-autobiographical play, Self-Injurious Behavior, based loosely on her experience as the parent of her autistic son and favorite human, Elijah, was presented off-Broadway in NYC in spring of 2019, followed by a production in LA later that year, produced by Joe Mantegna.
Jessica is particularly passionate about telling women’s stories now that she’s actually tried it, she’s determined to spend the rest of her life doing as much of that as possible!
We are so thrilled to have Jessica back to Nan Desu Kan, and cannot wait to see her offerings in the Art Academy! For Jessica’s entire credit list and bio, head over to our Guest of Honor page! Once finalized, her classes for Art Academy will be shared as well. Stay tuned for more!
