She is also the founder and owner of the voice-acting agency AudioGodz.<ref name="AudioGodz">{{cite web|last=Gnatek|first=Tim|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2004/11/04/technology/circuits/04voic.html?pagewanted=2|title=Giving Voice to Video Games|work=[[The New York Times]]|date=November 4, 2004|accessdate=May 23, 2013}}</ref>

==Career==
After college, Minella started on Morning Drive radio for an alternative station in the late 1980s. After hearing her celebrity impersonations, [[GTE Interactive Media]] contacted her and asked her to imitate voices from the film ''[[FernGully: The Last Rainforest]]'', which was being pitched for a [[LaserDisc]] presentation to [[Magnavox]] and [[Philips]].<ref name="SuperNerdLand">{{cite web|last=Sweeney|first=John|url=https://supernerdland.com/performance-matters-interview-with-veteran-voice-actress-lani-minella/#|title=Performance Matters: Interview with Veteran Voice Actress Lani Minella|publisher=SuperNerdLand|date=November 2, 2015|accessdate=October 23, 2018}}</ref> She was then referred by the company to their [[CD-Roms|CD-ROM]] division, where she worked on more voices and assisted script writing on games for children.<ref name="Sonic Retro">{{cite web|last=AKA Knuckles Echidna|first=Josh|url=http://info.sonicretro.org/Lani_Minella_interview_by_Josh_AKA_Knuckles_Echidna_(April_21,_2001)|title=Lani Minella interview|publisher=Sonic Retro|date=April 2, 2001|accessdate=October 23, 2018}}</ref> Minella asked the company if there were others doing similar work, and they suggested that she should go to trade shows, which led her to attend showcases like [[Consumer Electronics Show]] in Las Vegas, [[Game Developers Conference]] in San Jose, and [[Electronic Entertainment Expo]] in Los Angeles, where she gave out business cards but failed to get any offers. This led her to start her AudioGodz, a production company specializing in all aspects of voiceovers from talent to casting, directing, writing and production, in 1992.<ref name="Immortal Darkness">{{cite news|last=Shirgley|first=Chris|url=http://immortaldarkness.com/immortal-darkness-interview-lani-minella-voice-actor/|title=Immortal Darkness Interview: Lani Minella, Voice Actor|newspaper=Immortal Darkness|date=July 30, 2015|accessdate=October 23, 2018}}</ref>

In 1996, Minella worked on a major [[first-person shooter]] video game, ''[[Duke Nukem 3D]]'', as voice director and actress, voicing most of the female characters in the series. She helped cast the voice actor of [[Duke Nukem]], [[Jon St. John]]. She met Jon when she was cast as the voice for a commercial he was producing in San Diego. After being impressed by her voices, Jon imitated the voices back at Minella and she asked if he had ever done voice acting for video games. She shortly got him a telephone interview with the game's creator, [[George Broussard]], and eventually got him the part of Duke.<ref name="The Sydney Morning Herald">{{cite web|last=Dominguez|first=James|url=https://www.smh.com.au/technology/duke-nukem-speaks-how-a-radio-station-director-became-one-of-gamings-most-iconic-voices-20140827-108ubk.html|title=Duke Nukem speaks: how a radio station director became one of gaming's most iconic voices|work=The Sydney Morning Herald|date=August 27, 2014|accessdate=October 24, 2018}}</ref>

Minella's first major voice role in a video game was for [[Her Interactive]]'s adventure-mystery series [[List of Nancy Drew video games|''Nancy Drew'']], starring as the titular character [[Nancy Drew]], debuting with 1998's ''[[Nancy Drew: Secrets Can Kill|Secrets Can Kill]]''. Minella reprised her role as Nancy Drew in 31 other video games, with her last being ''[[Nancy Drew: Sea of Darkness|Sea of Darkness]]'' in 2015. [[HeR Interactive]]'s CEO then decided to find a voice actress local to the Seattle area (Minella resides in San Diego).<ref>{{cite web| url=http://community.herinteractive.com/showthread.php?1312399-Interview-with-Lani-Minella|title=Interview with Lani Minella|work=Phoenix Star|date= January 23, 2015|accessdate= October 24, 2018}}</ref>

Lani Minella (born July 28, 1950)[1] is an American voice actress, voice director, and producer mostly working in the games industry. She is also the founder and owner of the voice-acting agency AudioGodz.[2]

Career

[edit]

After college, Minella started on Morning Drive radio for an alternative station in the late 1980s. After hearing her celebrity impersonations, GTE Interactive Media contacted her and asked her to imitate voices from the film FernGully: The Last Rainforest, which was being pitched for a LaserDisc presentation to Magnavox and Philips.[3] She was then referred by the company to their CD-ROM division, where she worked on more voices and assisted script writing on games for children.[4] Minella asked the company if there were others doing similar work, and they suggested that she should go to trade shows, which led her to attend showcases like Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Game Developers Conference in San Jose, and Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles, where she gave out business cards but failed to get any offers. This led her to start her AudioGodz, a production company specializing in all aspects of voiceovers from talent to casting, directing, writing and production, in 1992.[5]

In 1996, Minella worked on a major first-person shooter video game, Duke Nukem 3D, as voice director and actress, voicing most of the female characters in the series. She helped cast the voice actor of Duke Nukem, Jon St. John. She met Jon when she was cast as the voice for a commercial he was producing in San Diego. After being impressed by her voices, Jon imitated the voices back at Minella and she asked if he had ever done voice acting for video games. She shortly got him a telephone interview with the game's creator, George Broussard, and eventually got him the part of Duke.[6]

Minella's first major voice role in a video game was for Her Interactive's adventure-mystery series Nancy Drew, starring as the titular character Nancy Drew, debuting with 1998's Secrets Can Kill. Minella reprised her role as Nancy Drew in 31 other video games, with her last being Sea of Darkness in 2015. HeR Interactive's CEO then decided to find a voice actress local to the Seattle area (Minella resides in San Diego).[7]

Since starting her career and becoming well known for her unique four-octave vocal range,[8] Minella has provided voices for many voices for other characters in a variety of video games, including Rouge the Bat in the Sonic the Hedgehog series, Ivy Valentine in the Soulcalibur series, and Lucas in the Super Smash Bros. series.

Personal life

[edit]

Minella is half-Italian from her father's side.[9] In her spare time, she does vocal coaching, gardening, and caring for her rescue pets.[10]
