Her name is Jessica Calvello, and I have personally met her--she lives not too far from me. She was very nice to me, and an absolute professional regarding her work.
It's true, she lost her voice about 2/3 of the way through recording for the show, and had to be replaced. She had to leave voiceover for years because of it.
However, she has since returned to voiceover, and is still as overly enthusiastic in her delivery as ever, including voicing Zoe Hange in Attack On Titan. That's just her style, and it's worked for her for decades.
But not every role is like this. If you want to hear her more subdued and sinister, check out a show called Call of the Night--she plays the main antagonist.
You actually can destroy your vocal cords if you're not careful. Fun fact Hitler was trained by a professional vocalist because he almost destroyed his vocal cords screaming all the time.
actually yes, voice work can be dangerous. if you are a professional voice actor, then your money making asset is your voice. if you damage your voice, you lose your ability to make money.
People who voice act for a living do a lot of training to make sure they don't hurt themselves, but if a particularly pushy client asks for hundreds of takes of screaming, raspy tones, monster sounds etc, they can damage their voice.
of course, it's on them to contract protections for this. if they don't, that's on them.
You know, they might be cancelled years later when the list of prohibited words changes and they were found to have used such word in a previous project.
"protections for dangerous voice and stunt work" Dangerous voice work?
An overly dramatic way of saying "don't make me scream for eight hours straight."
Oh, like the guy who voiced All Might in Japan and passed the fuck out because he got that hyped when recording a scene for a season finale?
Like the actress that played Excel in Excel Saga's English dub. That role did serious damage to her voice.
