Joanna Ruiz

Joanna Ruiz is a British voice actress and singer. She has mainly done voice acting for children's television shows.

Career In 1993, she moved to Cardiff, Wales and attended the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama, where she sang in a band and performed jingles for radio and television commercials. Ruiz' breakthrough came when she was asked to audition for the role of Casper the Friendly Ghost for a re-dub of the 1995 film, and got the role after practising from the film's soundtrack. She discovered her skills at imitating young children, and shifted from acting to focus more on voice acting, although she decided to stay and finish her course. She also did voices for audiobooks by David Walliams and David Baddiel.
