Let's Be Heroes, Hello Kitty in Hello Kitty's Paradise, as well as voicing many anime and video game characters like Himawari Uzumaki from Boruto, Radical Edward from Cowboy Bebop, Silver Wolf in Honkai: Star Rail, Neptune from Hyperdimension Neptunia, and Rider and her various other incarnations in the Fate stay/night franchise. She starred in the Broadway performance of Wicked and various theatre projects in Los Angeles.

Early life and education

Fahn was born in Long Island, New York to Michael and Millie Fahn.[1] She is the youngest of four siblings. She performed dancing at the age of 3. Her family moved to Huntington Beach, California. Her father, a jazz drummer, encouraged her to learn singing and acting in addition to just dancing. She continued in community theater productions and toured with Young Americans. She majored in dance at California State University, Long Beach, but left after one year to devote her time to work and theater.[2]

Career

While working as a receptionist, her voice caught the attention of a casting director for a new Betty Boop featurette, which led to her first voice-over role in The Betty Boop Movie Mystery.[2] Fahn has voiced many animated characters, Edward in Cowboy Bebop, Haruka in Noein, Gaz as well as others in Invader Zim, and Rika Nonaka, Kristy Damon and Nene Amano in Digimon. She is the voice of Neptune in the Hyperdimension Neptunia series.[3]

She performed live on stage worldwide in shows such as Hal Prince's 3hree, Gilligan's Island the Musical, Singin' in the Rain, No, No, Nanette and the rock-operas of Vox Lumiere.

In 2007, Fahn released her music album Avignon which was produced by her husband, Joel Alpers. The album also involved her brother Tom on trombone and sister-in-law Mary Ann McSweeney in bass. Alpers also played drums and percussion.[4]

Wicked

Fahn was a member of the ensemble in the original Broadway cast of Stephen Schwartz's musical Wicked. In March 2004, Fahn became an understudy for the role of Glinda, replacing Melissa Bell Chait who had suffered a minor stroke. Fahn departed the show on October 31, 2004. She later became an original cast member of the Los Angeles sit-down productions, performing in the ensemble and again understudying the role of Glinda before departing on December 30, 2007.
