I did a series called ''WesternAnimation/DinoBabies'', that was my first one. And then after that, I did ''WesternAnimation/{{Madeline}}''. 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."'' |

8 | Andrea Eva Libman (born July 19, 1984, in UsefulNotes/{{Toronto}}, Ontario) 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 ''Series/{{Highlander}}'', ''Little Women'', and a notable appearance in an episode of ''Series/TheXFiles'', [[Recap/TheXFilesS01E22BornAgain "Born]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbL0y-dkrw4 Again"]], as a cute yet possessed killer little girl. She eventually focused on voice-over roles, starting with ''WesternAnimation/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. |

10 | Her notable Western roles include Emmy of ''WesternAnimation/DragonTales'', young [[TheDanza AndrAIa]] in ''WesternAnimation/ReBoot'', Lemon Meringue in ''WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcake'' (portraying two distinct incarnations of the character for the 2009 and [[WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcakeBerryInTheBigCity 2021 series]]), Harmony Bear in ''Franchise/CareBears: Adventures in Care-A-Lot'', Cathy in ''WesternAnimation/MonsterBusterClub'', and of course [[ActingForTwo 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 [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyG3 G3 era of My Little Pony]], which in her own words was "just sweet, sweet, sweet." Andrea also voiced Loopy in the first 10 episodes of Season 2 in ''Animation/PororoTheLittlePenguin'', before being replaced by Hannah Grace for the rest of the season. She was also the original voice of ComicBook/{{X 23}} when the character debuted in ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'', so she's got some superhero cred under her belt, too. Other roles include Cylindria in ''WesternAnimation/PacManAndTheGhostlyAdventures'' and the title character of the 2014 ''Literature/MayaTheBee'' remake. Pseudo-gamer cred and more cute! |
11 | |
12 | Like other Ocean Group actors she's done her share of anime dubs, notably Chi Chi in ''Manga/{{Dragonball}}'' and Mileina Vashti in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam00'', who is described elsewhere on Website/ThisVeryWiki as "Pinkie Pie if she ''weren't'' hyper". Still cute. |
13 | |
14 | 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'' (taking over the role from Tracey Lee-Smythe) and movie ''Lost in Paris''. After the movie she was replaced by Creator/ChantalStrand, who would ''also'' go on to voice a pink pony (Diamond Tiara) in ''Friendship is Magic''. |
15 | |
16 | 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 and duetted with famous Brony musician [=MandoPony=] on Music/JasonMraz's "Lucky" at a pony convention that same year. |

24 | !!Tropes: |
25 | * BilingualBonus: She's fluent in both English and French, though she often describes her French as being "a little rusty". |
26 | * BreakoutCharacter: Many characters voiced by her become this down the line. |
27 | * TheCutie: Need a cute actress with a cute voice for a cute character? Look no further than her. Heck, the current main image of this trope is one of her characters![[note]]Fluttershy[[/note]] |
28 | * DoIReallySoundLikeThat: Despite her lovably cute voice, [[http://youtu.be/rP61SQA-UWw she isn't very fond of listening to it herself]]. This led to an ironic meta joke in which Pinkie gushes over Fluttershy's singing voice (unlike with Pinkie, Libman does Fluttershy's vocals herself). |
29 | * HiddenDepths: Holds a bachelor's degree in civil engineering. And she's a trained classical pianist. |
30 | * OlderThanSheLooks: But still the youngest of the group voicing the [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Mane Six]] (Creator/AshleighBall was born 17 months before her). |
31 | * PlayingAgainstType: She was actually the first actress ever to play X-23, the character made famous by Creator/DafneKeen in ''Film/{{Logan}}''. |
32 | * VocalEvolution: She joked at Fushicon 2011 how this ''[[AvertedTrope hasn't]]'' happened to her, see the page quote. |
33 | ** Likewise VocalDissonance; five foot one and still squeaky. |
34 | * WomanOfAThousandVoices: As she demonstrates in the Creator/EddieMurphy-esque [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCDKguHpklM "After-Birthday Party" sequence]] in "[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Party of One.]]" |
35 | ** Sometimes results in OohMeAccentsSlipping ("Sonic Rainboom" sees her getting it in both directions). |
