!!Veronica Taylor and her works provide examples of:
* IAmNotSpock: She didn't like the fact she lost her role as Ash once 4Kids lost the rights to dub the anime and for quite a few years, tried her very best not to do voice impressions outside of the anime because she simply got too many requests about it.
