Katherine Elaine Soucie (pronounced Sue-see; born February 20, 1967, in New York City, New York) is an American voice actress. She is sometimes credited as Kath Soucie or Kath Eleanor Soucie.

Notable roles

During her career in show business, Soucie has had the honour of working with some of the legendary actors and voice actors, including Jean Vander Pyl, Don Messick, Henry Corden, Jane Wyman, Brock Peters, Paul Winchell, Dorothy McGuire, Hamilton Camp, Ed Gilbert and many others. She was the voice of the twins Phil and Lil DeVille and their mother Betty in the popular animated series Rugrats (and its subsequent spinoff All Grown Up!), Princess Sally Acorn in Sonic the Hedgehog, her voicing of Kanga in the Walt Disney series of Winnie The Pooh projects, Cadpig in Disney's 101 Dalmatians: The Series, Goof Troop as Debby in "Leader of the Pack," Kat Harvey in The Spooktacular New Adventures of Casper, Bubbles in the What-a-Cartoon! episodes of The Powerpuff Girls, Jetta in PBS Kids' Clifford the Big Red Dog and Daffodil in PBS Kids' Clifford's Puppy Days, and her recurring role as Cubert Farnsworth and Albert and Nina the orphans in Futurama (she also voiced Fry ex-girlfriend Michelle in the pilot, but she was replaced by Sarah Silverman in Michelle's next two appearances). She also voiced Paramedic, the Newcaster and Serena in The Trumpet of the Swan, the Enchantress from Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas, Jenny's sister, XJ-5, in the cartoon My Life as a Teenage Robot, Kiki's Mother in the film Kiki's Delivery Service, and Kanta's Mother in My Neighbor Totoro as well as the voice of Dusty the hand saw on the Disney Channel's Playhouse Disney series Handy Manny.

Recurring roles

She was also a regularly recurring voice in the Disney animated Gargoyles series, portraying Princess Katherine, Ophelia, The Weird Sisters and Maggie Reed. As is evidenced by her choice of roles, her range sometimes enables her to voice young male characters as well as females. She also voiced one of the Bimbettes in Disney's Beauty and the Beast and Attina in The Little Mermaid.

She voiced the reindeer Chet in The Santa Clause 2, the cow Annabelle in Annabelle's Wish and Collette and Danielle in Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure.

Work in video games

Soucie also has experience voicing many computer game characters, such as Lola Bunny in the Space Jam (video game) again as Lola Bunny in Looney Tunes Racing and again as Lola Bunny in Looney Tunes: Space Race, Taro in Final Fantasy X-2, Elena in Dark Cloud 2, Tavion in Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy, Choco in Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits, Cooke in Lost Odyssey, and both Queen Ellesime and Aerie in Bioware's Baldur's Gate II. Most recently, she has contributed additional voices to Dragon Age: Origins, held to be the spiritual successor to the Baldur's Gate series.

She has also worked with Tim Schafer twice, playing Maureen in the LucasArts adventure game Full Throttle (and the LucasArts game "Grim Fandango"), and again when she played Lita Halford in Brütal Legend (contrary to popular misconception, Lita Ford did not voice this character).

She voices the character Jenny in Gun who carries a deadly rifle and an attitude to match.

She is also heard voicing Priscilla the Pig in 102 Dalmatians: Puppies to the Rescue, Sally and Shock from The Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie's Revenge and Sora's Mother in the Kingdom Hearts series. Another of her video game roles was that of Amanda Evert in the 2006 game Tomb Raider: Legend; a role which she reprised in the 2008 sequel Tomb Raider: Underworld. Soucie also voiced Laura and The Master's "female" voice in Fallout. She voices Cooke in the RPG Lost Odyssey, using the same voice as the orphan from Futurama. Soucie also enacts the "voices" of the undead females in Blizzard Entertainment's MMORPG, World of Warcraft, as well as the mercenary Mira Han in Starcraft II. She also plays the voice of Angela Cross in Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando.

Soucie voiced several women in Thrillville and Thrillville: Off the Rails.

Appearances of Soucie's natural voice

As well as manipulating her voice to achieve a variety of effects (for example, she would use a slightly "stretched" version of her Lil voice from Rugrats to play Haide in Lola & Virginia, Tish the "nerdy" girl, in The Weekenders and the Pony Puff Princess Leader from the Dexter's Laboratory episode "Dee Dee's Tail"), Soucie has used her natural voice in several roles, including Lola Bunny in Space Jam, Morgana Macawber from Darkwing Duck, and the Sonic the Hedgehog character Princess Sally. In the same series, she also voiced Sally's handheld computer, "NICOLE". Kath also plays Duchess from The Aristocats in House of Mouse, replacing to the deceased Eva Gabor. She also uses a British voice in order to play Agent Honeydew on the now Boomerang-viewed show Dexter's Laboratory.

Talent for voicing boys

Her talent for voicing boys has been heard on series such as As Told By Ginger (as Courtney Gripling's younger brother Blake), The Life and Times of Juniper Lee (as Juniper's younger brother, Ray Ray), in Baby Blues, on which the Bitterman kids Rodney and Megan sounded reminiscent of the DeVille twins, and she voiced Tommy Tinkerton, the main character in the 2004 movie The Legend of Frosty the Snowman. She also supplied her voice to Butch in Disney's Recess.
