Grey DeLisle to voice “The Dark Spirit” in The Legend Of Korra

The Dark Spirit
74 Comments

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

Grey

Now this may be the Spirit we saw concept art for during the Korra panel

The Dark Spirit

Could this be “The Dark Spirit” Grey DeLisle will be voicing.

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 :P

    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?

    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”

    “De-Lyle” is probably a better way at typing out the pronunciation.

    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.

    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.

    I never thought of the spirit having a girl voice. I thought of it having a deep screeching voice that made weird noises.

    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.

    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.

    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. :D
    4) my eye won’t stop twitching until Book 2 comes out.

    hope the story will be for cohesive than the last season, and please make korra learn some Humility. But yay i loved all her voice acting.
    scarry and kind. Compare her voice acting between azula and kya (katara mom not daughter), one is mean and evil and the other is so sweet and kind. She supper talented. Yay
