Kara Edwards facts for kids

Kara Edwards (born February 17, 1977) is an American voice actress. She is famous for lending her voice to English versions of Japanese anime shows. She was also a well-known radio host in the Charlotte, North Carolina area.

Career

Kara Edwards started her career in broadcasting at Radio Disney in Dallas, Texas. This was right after she finished high school. She worked there for eight months, learning a lot. After that, she got jobs as a writer, producer, voice actress, and even a director for children's voices.

In July 1997, she became a co-host for the Squeege and Kara Show on Radio Disney. She worked with her friend and fellow voice actor Kyle Hebert.

She also did voice-over work for commercials. Some of the companies she worked with include Blockbuster, Levi Strauss & Co., and Clinique. While working at Radio Disney, Kara also started voicing characters in Japanese anime series for Funimation. Her most famous voice roles are the child version of Goten and Videl in Dragon Ball Z.

In March 2002, Kara became a producer and sometimes a "sidekick" for the Sander Walker in the Morning radio show. This show was on WSSS 104.7 FM in Charlotte, North Carolina. She worked there until October 2003.

Soon after, in February 2004, she became a co-host for the Jeff Roper Morning Show. This show was on WSOC 103.7 FM, also in Charlotte.

In January 2005, Jeff Roper left WSOC. Kara then started co-hosting with Rob Tanner as part of the new Tanner in the Morning show. This show became very popular in the Charlotte area for its country music and funny parodies. Kara continued to co-host for almost two years.

Even though Kara enjoyed her radio work, she felt a strong pull towards voice acting. In August 2006, she went to a big comics convention in Chicago, Illinois. Many Dragon Ball fans waited for hours to get her autograph. This made Kara seriously think about becoming a full-time voice actress.

A few weeks later, she told WSOC management that she wanted to leave her radio job to focus on voice acting. WSOC and the show staff understood her decision. They handled her departure in a friendly way.

Since then, Kara has lived in Dallas. She does voice-over work for commercials and documentaries. She also sometimes returns to Funimation to voice her Dragon Ball characters and other anime roles.

Personal life

Kara Edwards met Chris Suchan, a meteorologist for WBTV in Charlotte. They got married in April 2006 but later divorced. She had a child in August 2015.

In November 2020, Kara Edwards married voice actor Zach Bolton.
