Talk:Karen Neill

I think that Neill's role in the anime was the computer voice of Area 99 (Episode 2), and not Tikal. Honig has a lisp. That's all there is to it. HubStyle (talk) 17:02, November 28, 2013 (UTC)
 * The computer system has Neill's smooth line delivery (and to a reasonable extent, her inflection pattern)
 * The cast list in the credits was made for the first production period (episodes 1-26). Tikal first appears after that period.
 * There is a role in Pokemon that sounds just like Tikal (and Helen's mother and Maria from Shadow the Hedgehog): Claire from the episode "Going for a Spinda!"  Same somber tone and lisp
 * This and other episodes in the season it came from (season 7) utilize episode-specific credits, and Neill is not credited for the episode, whereas Honig is. The same holds true for Honig's other appearances in this season and season 8.
 * Neill has not demonstrated having a lisp in any of her other roles (as demonstrated in Yu-Gi-Oh, One Piece, Pokemon, etc.)
 * Honig, however, has. Though she successfully hides it in her Cream voice due to its squeakyness and the Chao never pronounce it, her Vanilla (especially in episode 59) can't hide it for long, and her Maria (Sonic X), despite the difference in portrayal from Shadow the Hedgehog, also pops up at times.
