Laura Faye Smith is the current voice actress for Rosalina and Baby Rosalina. She has been portraying Rosalina since Super Mario 3D World, and Baby Rosalina since her debut in Mario Kart 8. In some games, however, work from Kerri Kane, Rosalina's previous voice actress, was reused. In Mario Party 10, Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash, and Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, where Smith did the voice work for Rosalina, Kane's name was listed in the credits instead, miscredited as "Kerry Kane". She currently lives in Los Angeles, California and married on August 7, 2005.[2]
History[edit]
Smith was born in San Jose, California and moved to Oregon when she was young. As a child, she enjoyed playing Super Mario World, which got her into the Super Mario franchise. Later on, when she was doing theater work, Smith constantly played WarioWare: Touched! and Mario Kart: Super Circuit with her coworkers.[3]
Before getting into the theater industry, Smith had tried to do voiceover work but didn't find enough opportunities. She was then contacted by In Both Ears, the same agency that Rosalina's original voice actor, Mercedes Rose, is represented by, who got her the audition for Rosalina. In a 2016 interview,[3] Smith stated the audition was relaxed and fun and that Nintendo made her feel very comfortable. Rosalina's backstory particularly attracted Smith, who liked her being a powerful character and at the same time being kind and motherly towards the Lumas. Smith also recognized Rosalina's personality to be strongly shaped by her mother's death, which has made her strong and caring. She mentioned Rosalina's grounded nature as being similar to herself.
Smith has cited her voicing of Rosalina as being one of the most fun jobs she has ever had. Smith has also voiced the male Kana in Fire Emblem Fates as well as multiple other characters for Mad Head Games.
