Template:VoiceVeronica Taylor is a voice actress for the 4Kids dubbing company. She first started out in school plays and acting. Veronica was later recruited for the 4Kids company. She was then cast in Pokémon as the main character, Ash Ketchum. Veronica is famous for being the original voice of Ash. She continued voicing him until 2006. She also provided the voice of May from 2003 to 2006. That was the time when 4Kids lost rights to the show, and Pokémon USA decided to replace Veronica Taylor and the other members of the original cast. She was replaced by Sarah Natochenny who took over the role of Ash Ketchum and Delia Ketchum, and Michele Knotz who took over the role of May. During this time, Veronica was emotional because she lost not only a role - but a character who was very dear to her heart. Veronica's other notable roles include Amelia Wil Tesla Seyruune from Slayers, Narue Nanase from World of Narue, Clawdia from Fighting Foodons, Nico Robin from the 4kids adaptation of One Piece, Carly Carmine in Yugioh 5d's and most recently Tori from Tai Chi Chasers.
