The One True Voice of Spider-Girl?!

I've missed the ol' blog, so I've decided to run my mouth (via the keyboard) until I feel better. All aboard the magic school bus, friends!

I've dedicated way to much of my free time (and the expensive kind of time, as well) to playing the heck out of Spider-Man Unlimited. Let's not dance around it, I'm a Spider-Girl fan through and through. I started playing this mobile game as soon as I heard Spider-Girl was going to be added to the roster of available Spider-Men as the first Spider-Female available to play. Laura Bailey does a brilliant job as the voice May 'Mayday' Parker. She sounds like the character has always sounded in my head. I've been digging around and I'm certain the talented Mrs Bailey is the very first person to voice the character. 

For some reason my phone makes Spider-Girl appear 'shiny'.

Well....if you want to get nit-picky (and I know many comic fans are want to do just that) Tasia Valenza voiced the original Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew) in the Marvel: Ultimate Alliance (2006) game which featured an alternate costume of Spider-Girl. But she was still flying and shooting her blasts, it was just a different character 'skin'. 

Can you spot the Spider-Girl?

Also, Tara Strong voiced an unidentified 'Spider-Girl' character (a member of the 'Spider-Friends' team) in the Marvel Super Hero Squad Online (2011) who wore a different mask exposing some of her face as well as her hair.  But again, not exactly THE Spider-Girl. So there you go, Laura Bailey is the first person to voice May 'Mayday' Parker.

Thoughts?

 The Super Hero Squad version is probably related to this 'Spider-Girl' from the Spider-Man and Friends toy line. This incarnation was included not only in the toy line but also has a self-titled song on the 'Spider-Man and Friends CD' Album (2004) which ties-in to the line. Check out Track 4, 'Spider-Girl' . 'She's smart and strong and lots of fun and she gets along with everyone!' Sounds about right.

I believe she's Spider-Man's 'cousin'. Because Kids.

Until I hear Joshua Keaton is providing the voice of Spider-Girl for the Marvel Heroes 2015 update, I remain

Gameplay of Spider-Girl

Someone out there has been kind enough to post a video of Spider-Girl in action in the mobile game Spider-Man Unlimited by Gameloft. The talented Laura Bailey provides the voice for our favorite web-stunner, May 'Mayday' Parker aka The One True Spider-Girl. I think she's done a great job giving life to the character. What does everyone else think?

As for my progress with the Spider-Man Unlimited game....I'm having issues with my phone. The main issue being I suck and so does my phone. However, I have noticed the recent update (the same update which gives us Spider-Girl and various other Spider-Women) has a few problems with slowing or freezing mid-game. Nevertheless, I am enjoying the game and I'm desperately hopingthey release Mayday for purchase in one of the Portals because there is simply no way I am going to win her in any of the events. I'm just not that good!

Until we find out Laura Bailey is also voicing Spider-Girl in the Marvel Heroes game by Gazillion, I remain

Spider-Girl Voiced by Laura Bailey!

After it was announced May 'Mayday' Parker aka Spider-Girl would be added to the roster for the Spider-Man Unlimited video game for mobile devices, I got curious about who would voice the character. So, I sent the fine folks at Gameloft a message asking who this would be and they've kindly replied to my request:  Laura Bailey is the voice of Spider-Girl!

Actor Laura Bailey has appeared in live action films and television series, provided voice-overs in both western animation and English-versions of anime in addition to her prolific work with video game voice acting. Just a few examples of her vocal talents include: Kid Trunks from the Dragon Ball franchise, Tohru Honda from Fruit Basket, Maka from Soul Eater, Rayne from the BloodRayne games, Serah from the Final Fantasy franchise and Akali from League of Legends.

I look forward to hearing her voice my favorite character in comics and wish her  all the best.

Until I luck into another piece of news only a select few will appreciate, I remain
