She sports a ''very'' wide vocal range (four octaves, almost unlimited accents, and both male and female characters), and states that she's willing to work whatever job she's hired on for, from video games and animation to narration, to even IVR recordings. |

81 | ---- |
82 | !! Tropes applying to Lani Minella: |
83 | |
84 | * ActingForTwo: Quite a few of her voice acting credits have more than one voice attached to them. |
85 | * CrossDressingVoices: Among others, [[VideoGame/{{Diablo}} Wirt.]] |
86 | * DawsonCasting: Given her vocal range, she can play it straight, avert it, subvert it, avert it completely, and exaggerate this trope depending on the role. Listen to the demonstration close to the end of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zm1BGVfqWC0 this interview.]] |
87 | * FakeBrit: She's the official voice of Ivy Valentine and Luke Triton, both of whom are Brits. |
88 | * KindheartedCatLover: She uses some of her time outside the recording booth to adopt and care for rescue cats. |
89 | * LargeHam: She is perfectly capable of voicing a character that's [[ChewingTheScenery hungry for some backdrops.]] Bonus points if they just happen to be well-written on top of that. |
90 | * VocalDissonance: Her range makes this a given, but still, considering some of the roles she's done can provoke people to think, "That voice came out of '''her'''?" Nancy Drew fans were especially surprised. |
