VA Info

Where have I heard that voice before? They bring characters to life with just their vocal chords! You hear them before you see them. Sometimes you never see them. That's why the voice actors need a little credit where it's due. Without them we wouldn't know Nurse Joy for her uplifting and positive vibes.

Voice actors come and go, but their voices... live... on... forever...? Or something? You know what I'm trying to say!

If you've ever said, "She sounds like Nurse Joy!" ... it most likely is. It's quite a good guessing game while watching dubs or subs, and I personally relish that triumphant feeling of, "Ooh, I knew it was her!"

This page focuses on the English dub and Japanese sub!

English

Megan Hollingshead

Voice actor, stage actor, and yoga instructor? Obviously she's the coolest one (I'm totally not biased at all)! She's well-known for her sassy characters that tend to have boobs of steel... but lately she's back to voicing positive and cheerful Nurse Joy in Journeys and voicing her first Pokemon, Morpeko!

Erica Shroeder

AKA Bella Hudson, she took over Nurse Joy's role in the middle of Ash's Hoenn saga. Lately she's been back as Lyserg in a new anime adaptation of Shaman King, and continues to work in Pokemon to this day as Eevee!

Japanese

Ayako Shiraishi

Not much is known about her besides giving Joi-san her gentle and dependable personality. She retired from voice acting in 2002... prompting an Easter egg for the new Viridian Joy (voiced by Yuriko Yamaguchi in the role debut) to mention that the previous Viridian Joy retired!
