Grey DeLisle to voice “The Dark Spirit” in The Legend Of Korra
Yes, SDCC 2012 has just ended and already we have more news.
Grey DeLisle, who you many know as the voice of Azula, Mai’s mother, Kya (Katara’s mom), Ta Min (Roku’s wife), Actress Katara and the servant who Azula banished for leaving a pip in,
Has announced on Twitter that she will be returning to Avatar to voice a character in The Legend Of Korra.
Here is the Tweet, https://twitter.com/GreyDeLisle/status/225033218586456065
Now this may be the Spirit we saw concept art for during the Korra panel
What are your thoughts on another ATLA voice actor returning for Korra ?
Thanks to Sarah on the forums for finding this info

Woah! I never knew that she did that many voices.
How weird it must have been to banish yourself from your own nation. I’m referring to Azula banishing the servant here

That probably did feel weird and a little awkward.

Hahaha yeah that would be kinda weird

Hmm…very interesting. I wonder what the voice would be like based on the appearance of that spirit…

I keep thinking it’s going to be raspy or maybe echoy (due to the spirit world effect?). I can’t imagine Azula’s high-pitched voice on that spirit XD

I imagine it will be delay effect, but most fun if there will be NO effects XD only voice. so it wil be ingeniously

How do you pronounce DeLisle?
I always say it as “deh-LEES-le”.
And also, how would you pronounce Joaquim?

Airspeed Prime Reply:July 17th, 2012 at 5:05 am
It is either as you put it there or
“De-lile” with a silent s, I am not sure myself.
Joaquim is pronounced like “Wah-keem”

Airspeed Prime Reply:July 17th, 2012 at 5:07 am
“De-Lyle” is probably a better way at typing out the pronunciation.

Ricardo Reply:July 17th, 2012 at 5:16 am
Alright! Thanks

Joaquim can be pronounced as “Who-Ah-’Keem”… that would sound more Portuguese.

I love that they are bringing back old voice characters it really makes more connection that A:TLA and TLOK are the same show only a different storyline, but it´s also good that the main characters have different voice actors cos it would just be weird to hear.

I agree, it’s great to still have a connection with ATLA!

hannah Reply:July 31st, 2012 at 1:19 pm
same here I’m really happy that she is coming back because she is an amazing voice actress
Reply
Luca Reply:August 4th, 2012 at 2:13 am
It is good also as Generel Iroh on TLOK is Zuko’s vocie actor in ATLA Which is awsome ( I think )
Reply
I must say that that Spirit looks OUTSTANDING!!! It looks like something from a video game or an Anime. I love the design!

Lauren Reply:July 17th, 2012 at 3:23 pm
That’s the first thing I thought too! I love video games, and it looks like something straight out of one; my first urge is to start battling it haha!

Meelo Reply:July 22nd, 2012 at 11:10 am
I agree, watched a few videos on youtube and saw animation they showed of Korra battling it, it moves REALLY awesomeley! Cant wait!

Trojan People Reply:August 2nd, 2012 at 3:18 pm
Really, to me it looks like a spongebob sea monster. The animation as far as backgrounds and caracters also looks simular. A lot of LoK is Spongebob-esqeu with the life long friendships. Korra-esque has meaning though.
Reply
can’t wait for the new LoK season! can’t believe how talented she is! voiced all those great characters. surely now the grey spirit will be great too
Reply
this will have to be interesting.
Reply
i never knew she voiced for all those people during the series
Reply
I never thought of the spirit having a girl voice. I thought of it having a deep screeching voice that made weird noises.
Reply
Ricardo Reply:July 17th, 2012 at 3:44 pm
I’m sure Grey is very talented and can make “deep screeching voices” as well
Reply
Meelo Reply:July 22nd, 2012 at 11:13 am
Thats true, and I TOTALLY agree with you Avatar Amanda, I thought of it as what you described or a deep mans voice thats been distorted…. Hmmm though, it will be interesting and I cannot contain myself!

have some flashbacks of aang and katara raising their 3 kids. that would be fun to see. and i would like to see zuko’ s daughter, the current fire lord and mother of general Iroh. (: i have so many expectations for korra, and what i hope they show.

Wow I had no clue she did all of those voices. If the Spirit sounds anything like Azula’s laugh, it will be one scary thing.

That’s awesome for her!
Who do I gotta talk too to get a voice roll on Korra???? I want to be one soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo BAD!!!

Not gonna lie… I’d even be satisfied with a Grunt! lol

I don’t think that’s the Dark Spirit. The image doesn’t seem to show the same character in different poses; rather, it seems like a kind of spirit, because each one has a different build, and the barbs on the back are different.
In the animation at the SDCC, that’s the same spirit that attacked Korra. I don’t think the Dark Spirit — whatever it is (but it sounds important) — would be Korra’s first spirit adversary.

cant wait to see it! it will be so awesome,to hear that voice again. wishthey could more voices from ATLA, like Kya’s voice would be Mae Whitman’s. who knows?
Reply
YES!!! Grey is incredible! SHE IS MY CHILDHOOD <3

YESSSS LOL

So is the dark spirit goin to be a villain? Cuz i saw the concept teaser from comic con

I think it’s awesome they’re bringing Grey back. She’s so talented, and I know she’ll do an amazing job voicing “The Dark Spirit!” Makes me look forward to Book 2 even more.

Cant wait book 2 sounds really interesting……..I am very glad that there bring back Grey i love her vocie and hoping she doesn’t have Azulas laugh though that would be scary!!!
Reply

Grey is as alot of you guys know by far my favorite voice in the Avatar Universe so this makes me super happy
Reply
This is amazing! Grey’s voice should be perfect, her voice always gives me chills, but as a spirit, ooooh snap!

Im so excited
I love the legend of korra i wish they would bring back avatar the last airbender with aang being older.
Reply
1)i did not know that she voiced so many characters. wow.
2)I don’t think that’s the dark spirit, but it may resemble it. You never know.
3) Azula’s voice with an evil spirit? i KNEW that LOK would get even better.
4) my eye won’t stop twitching until Book 2 comes out.
