Is that Tara Strong doing Twilight? I didn't recognize her.

oh wait I think they said she works in a different city, maybe this person does placeholders.

That's Tabitha St.Germain, voice of Rarity, Nightmare Moon/Princess Luna, Granny Smith, Pony Hooves, Mrs. Cake and half the rest of the additional characters on FiM.  Since Tara Strong lives in LA, Tabitha records her lines with the rest of the cast in Vancouver for timing reasons, then Strong copies the original recording when she records alone in LA.  You actually hear a lot of Tabitha's timing in Twilight Sparkle, and they've even left Tabitha's voice in a couple of times for basic laughs/sound effects.  It's pretty annoying to my voice acting ear.  I wish they'd kept with the solely Canadian based cast of Pony Tales and G3 (or US based cast if that's the way they wanted to go) - it always sounds nicer when the entire cast record together in my experience.  Personally I'd have liked to have heard Tabitha as Twilight Sparkle on the final recording.  But since Tara Strong and Lauren Faust are good friends in real life, I guess she was always destined to get the lead role in FiM...

I think hasbro has always used one or two people to fill like 10 voice rolls in my little pony, even in the older cartoons, they are very talented to be able to do that i think.

Oh yeah, they have!  I guess it's cheaper to hire one person for several characters than to pay a different person for each and every pony.  But when you have someone like Tabitha St.Germain working on the show, you don't really notice.  I've known her to voice ALL female characters in other shows and didn't even realise until I saw the credits!

Wow!  that's really interesting! thanks for sharing.  Now I need to start listening more closely.

So who do you think plays "Bon Bon" the extra?  I've been debating whether it's Tara Strong or Tabitha St. Germain.
