A cute voice to go with an absolutely cute character? Look no further than Andrea Libman!

Andrea Libman is a Canadian voice actress working with Creator/TheOceanGroup, who has a knack for voicing [[TheCutie cute girls]]. Andrea started off as a child actress in UsefulNotes/{{Vancouver}} based shows and movies, such as ''Highlander'', ''Little Women'', and a notable appearance in an episode of ''Series/TheXFiles'', [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbL0y-dkrw4 "Born Again"]], as a cute yet possessed killer little girl. She eventually focused on voice over roles, starting with ''Dinobabies'' and ''{{Literature/Madeline}}'', mostly because she got braces for a while so live action people didn't want her but also because she's a tad camera shy.

She's also an accomplished singer, and her vocals can be heard on the songs "When Sunny Gets Blue," "The Girl From Ipanema" and "I'll Be There" on the late 2014 multi-artist CD ''At Home'' (which also features fellow MLP VA Creator/MichelleCreber). Earlier on, Libman also sang on Creber's parody video "Tweet It" from late 2013.

* DoIReallySoundLikeThat: Despite her lovably cute voice, [[http://youtu.be/rP61SQA-UWw she isn't very fond of listening to it herself]].

Her notable Western roles include Emmy of ''WesternAnimation/DragonTales'', young [[TheDanza AndrAIa]] in ''WesternAnimation/ReBoot'', Lemon Meringue in ''WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcake'', Harmony Bear in ''Franchise/CareBears: Adventures in Care-A-Lot'', Cathy in ''WesternAnimation/MonsterBusterClub'', and of course [[TalkingToHerself Pinkie Pie & Fluttershy]] in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', characters that couldn't be any more different beyond the fact that they're cute and high-pitched. Andrea also voiced Zipzee and Sweetie Belle in the [[MyLittlePonyG3 G3 era of My Little Pony]], which in her own words was "just [[TastesLikeDiabetes sweet, sweet, sweet]]." She was also the original voice of {{X-23}} when the character debuted in ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'', so she's got some super hero cred under her belt, too. Upcoming roles include Cylindria in the upcoming ''WesternAnimation/PacMan'' cartoon and the title character of the ''Literature/MayaTheBee'' remake. Pseudo-gamer cred and more cute!

** X-23. The crew of ''WesternAnimation/{{X-Men Evolution}}'' introduce this really badass character, who is essentially a female version of Wolverine, and they cast the girl best known at the time as ''Madeline'' to play her?

->''"Well I’ve been doing it for about twenty years, I did films when I was a little kid, when I was about six or seven, I was in films and I had this really high voice, I did a series called Dinobabies, that was my first one. And then after that I did ''{{Literature/Madeline}}'', yeah so it just kind of happened and then never went away. Then everyone said your [[VocalEvolution voice is going to change]] and you’ll be out... No, no, still on helium."''\\

Andrea Libman is a Canadian voice actress working with TheOceanGroup, who has a knack for voicing [[TheCutie cute girls]]. Andrea started off as a child actress in [[StargateCity Vancouver]] based shows and movies, such as ''Highlander'', ''Little Women'', and a notable appearance in an episode of ''Series/TheXFiles'', [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbL0y-dkrw4 "Born Again"]], as a cute yet possessed killer little girl.

Before the [[MemeticMutation memetic popularity]] of [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic ponies]], her most famous role would probably be that of cute classic children's book character {{Literature/Madeline}}, whom she played in the 1990s series ''The New Adventures of Madeline'' and movie ''Lost in Paris''. After the movie she was replaced by Creator/ChantalStrand, who would ''also'' go on to voice a pink pony in ''Friendship is Magic''.

* FunnyCharacterBoringActor: Despite voicing the hyperactive [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Pinkie Pie]], she doesn't fancy herself as being all that funny. Compare her [[http://twitter.com/#!/AndreaLibman Twitter feed]] to pony-co-star Creator/TaraStrong's [[http://twitter.com/#!/tarastrong Twitter feed]]. That said she can be a little snarky during interviews and voice actor panels at cons, but she's not [[CloudCuckoolander Pinkie]] in human form, that honor would go to her fellow My Little Pony castmate Creator/ClaireCorlett.

* FriendToAllChildren: Considering she works on so many kids' shows, this is a given. She's also frequently seen interacting with younger fans in various My Little Pony conventions.
