* EnforcedMethodActing: One of the examples of those suffering this before it was prohibited in anime. For a voice-practice of a sad voice, she's told to imagine the saddest moment in her life. Imagining how her grandma died, Megumi was left in tears even after the practice ended, surprising her instructor, Creator/ShigeruChiba. This scene is drawn in Megumi-Toon.

She authored (but didn't draw) a biographic manga about her experiences as a voice actress, titled [[http://nnanime.com/megumi-toon/ Megumi-Toon]].

!!Tropes relating to her work:

A [[JapanesePopMusic pop/rock performer]] of substantial fame and talent with an international following, nurse wannabe, Megumi Hayashibara (born March 30, 1967 in Tokyo, Japan) is probably best known in the United States for the hundreds of anime and video gaming roles she's portrayed; reading her resume is like reading a history of the best in Japanese animation.

Hayashibara was part of the wave of voice actors, particularly actresses, such as Creator/HekiruShiina and Creator/MarikoKouda, that were marketed to celebrity status during TheNineties due to the large amounts of money provided by recording companies, and the more multi-media approach to stardom developed at that time.

** Her original career plan was to [[HospitalHottie save human lives]], and that alone requires a good sum of compassion and [[{{Determinator}} determination]] to pursue.
