A peek at Margaret and Igor’s New Voice Actress/Actor – Posted on Youtube by Valwin Mediaz
While I suppose this doesn’t rule her out from any future games outside the upcoming set of games (Persona 4 Arena Ultimax / Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth), should her character appear again, but Michelle Ann Dunphy has confirmed that she will not be appearing in the upcoming Persona game releases as Margaret and provided a reason.
As posted on her official Facebook wall earlier today, this was due to a scheduling conflict that occurred and was unable to make it back to LA where the lines were being recorded. It therefore doesn’t seem like her decision not to voice Margaret has anything to do with the mysterious lines at the end of Persona 4 Golden where a couple of lines were recorded using Karen Strassman.
That being said, it is really sad to not see her voice the Velvet Room attendant in what would be her first playable role as a DLC Character in Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, and as a NAVI in Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth. As mentioned in my review of Persona 4 the Animation, she was one of my favourite VA’s from the Persona 4 media franchise and complemented her character almost too perfectly.
Her role will be taken over by Marisha Ray, which according to Behind the Voice Actors, will be her first voice acting role.
