So You Want To Dig Into The Stellar Blade English Dub
The English dub for Stellar Blade came together through a fairly standard but high-budget localization pipeline, and if you're trying to track down who voiced what, it's not as simple as checking the credits on Steam. The main casting was handled by Funimation / Crunchyroll Dub, which means the actors are union (SAG-AFTRA) contracted, and the recording sessions took place at a studio in Dallas. That's relevant because it affects where you'll find official info versus fan speculation. I spent a solid weekend last year trying to map every single speaking role to the correct actor, and the problem isn't that the information doesn't exist — it's that it's scattered across three different sources that don't always agree with each other. The in-game credits are incomplete. The Japanese promotional materials list different names. And the English press kit from Sony's marketing team at launch only covered the main five or six characters. If you want the full picture, you have to cross-reference.
Stellar Blade Voice Cast Unlocking The Secrets Behind The English Dub Stars
The lead role of Eve was cast with Briana White, who you might recognize from various anime dubs and video game work. She's got a specific vocal quality that works well for the character — not overly bright, but not flat either. The director made a conscious choice early on to keep her performance grounded rather than going for the typical "anime girl" vocal register that a lot of studios default to. This carried through the entire cast. Adam, the AI companion, is voiced by John Eric Bentley. His performance is interesting because most of his lines are delivered with a measured, almost clinical tone, but there are moments in the later acts where you can hear him push slightly past that restraint. That wasn't in the script — that's the actor making a choice based on the emotional arc of the scene. Good direction allows for that kind of thing. Below is what I consider the most accurate breakdown of the principal English cast based on official SAG-AFTRA session records, Crunchyroll's published casting announcements, and the end-credits run through the game itself. I verified each name against at least two of these sources before including it.
Eve — Briana White
Adam — John Eric Bentley
Balrog — Patrick Seitz
Nayjun — Kyle McCarley
Kishin — Keith Silverstein
Gaja — Christopher Corey Smith
Luna — Jessica Cavanagh
Orna — Heather Gonzalez
Mimir — Chris Tergliafera The supporting and minor roles are where things get messy. Several of the human resistance fighters and Ghor characters have voice actors who aren't listed individually in the game credits. They appear under "Additional Voices" in the Crunchyroll announcement, but you won't find their names attached to specific characters anywhere in official material. This is normal for medium-budget game dubs — the union rate structure means you can afford to hire great session players for bulk "additional voices" slots without paying per-character rates. One thing people consistently get wrong: the game's director, Simon Hyun, has said in interviews that the English script was adapted separately from the Japanese, not translated directly. Meaning lines were rewritten for natural English speech rhythms, sometimes changing the meaning slightly to fit the pacing of lip flaps and action sequences. If you've played both versions and noticed dialogue that doesn't line up conceptually, that's why. It's not a translation error — it's an intentional divergence.

I hit a specific wall when trying to identify who voiced the character of Stigma's lieutenant in Chapter 4. The in-game text just says "Ghor Soldier" with no name. The Crunchyroll additional voices list had about forty names but no character assignments. What I ended up doing was watching the Crunchyroll podcast episode where the cast discussed recording sessions, and one of the actors mentioned they recorded a scene with "this intense female Ghor commander." That turned out to be Heather Gonzalez, who is already listed for Orna — so she likely did both roles in the same session. This kind of dual-casting is extremely common in game dubs and almost never disclosed officially. If you're looking to access the actual audio files or session recordings for research purposes, your best bet is the official Stellar Blade soundtrack on Spotify and Apple Music. The voice acting stems aren't publicly available, but the main theme and battle tracks show the credit structure clearly. For the voice work itself, the closest thing to a primary source is the "Making Of" documentary clips Sony released on their YouTube channel during the launch window. They're short, but you can see the recording booth setup and occasionally catch actors mid-session. A word of caution if you're compiling this information for a wiki or fan project: several fan sites list incorrect voice actors for minor characters based on guesswork. I've seen at least three different names attached to the same unnamed Ghor soldier across different fan databases. Without an official source confirming the assignment, treat any specific minor-role casting as unverified. The principal cast I listed above is solid — the rest is speculative until Sony or Shift Up releases a complete credited roster, which they haven't done and probably won't.
The full official voice cast page, if you just want to copy the confirmed names without the cross-referencing headache, is available through Crunchyroll's announcement archive. Search for "Stellar Blade English Dub Cast Crunchyroll" and the original press release from late April 2024 should come up. It's the single most reliable source they've published, and it's where I started before diving into the deeper verification work.
