I'm a big fan of English dubbing which I think is to this day entirely underrated so this shall be my account where I shamelessly post praises for dubs.
Her work was life-changing for me, she introduced me to Kyoto Animations' patented & most coveted weird girls genre and as a weird girl myself who can relate so hard to Nagato's arc of becoming understood, she made that character mean more to me than any other so Thank you so much Michelle Ruff! 6/6

And screw the haters her work in Yuki-chan is so good too. The work set to show another side of Nagato one she keeps secret and can only show in that version of her world and she played both girls for three episodes! I'm upset she never got to do the OVA but her work in it is stunning as well! 5/6

And let's not forget her performance in the movie as both versions of Yuki Nagato, playing an emotional shy girl who keeps her feelings close and still managing to play with such coldness and self-loathing her prime version when the time came. The subtle emotions throughout the work are so hard! 4/6

She made one of the most divisive arcs in the all anime work so hard for her character! To pull at the exhaustion and the concealment in her character in ways you have to applaud. Her acting for this section was make or break and she made it so very often in ways that make me just wanna cry! 3/6

Her character in the original is beyond restricted in so many qualities, honestly trying to pull the deep emotional core out is such a difficult task for any character let alone one so purposefully unexpressive and Michelle Ruff had to have played her heart out for the role! Every scene is dense 2/6

In case you can't place the name (though you should! Get to learn your dub VAs they go entirely underappreciated for all the work they put in) she's also Kobeni Higashiyama in Chainsaw Man and one half of the Attack on Titan doomed Yuri: Krista Lenz as well as Nagisa Kashiwagi in Kaguya-sama too!

Also can I mention her killer versions of the Live Alive tracks still haven't been officially released? Her discography! We still haven't heard her full cover of Lost My Music. The Japanese versions of them were put on streaming recently I hope; if she wants, that her versions are released soon!
