Allegra Clark is a Los Angeles-based trilingual actor and voiceover artist originally from New York City. After spending a childhood doing commercials and school plays in both French and English, Allegra studied theatre and Italian literature at Northwestern University, where she realized her knack for voice and accent work.

Allegra is most known for her roles in video games as Bloodhound (Apex Legends); Acheron (Honkai Star Rail); Beidou (Genshin Impact); Mitsuru (Persona 3 Reload); Dorothea and Shamir (Fire Emblem Three Houses); Josephine Montilyet (Dragon Age: Inquisition); Cynthia (Pokémon Masters); Ifalna (Final Fantasy VII); Boss (AI: The Somnium Files); Spider-Gwen (Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3); Marisa (Street Fighter 6); and Wedding Cake Cookie (Cookie Run Kingdom). She has also lent her voice to franchises like Marvel’s Spider-Man, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Arknights, Granblue Fantasy, Rune Factory, Shin Megami Tensei, and Trails.

In anime, she is known as Maki and Miwa (Jujutsu Kaisen); Mother Spider Demon and Young Tanjiro (Demon Slayer); Pitohui (Gun Gale Online); Kodachi Kuno (Ranma 1/2); Queen Sensei and Hana (Dandadan); Sonia (Pokémon Twilight Wings); Derieri and Matrona (Seven Deadly Sins); Princess Kakyuu (Sailor Moon); Gin Akutagawa (Bungo Stray Dogs); Noel (Burn the Witch); and Semiramis, Atalante, Reika Rikudou, and Reines (Fate franchise). Don’t ask her to pick her favorite role—she cannot pick her favorite child.

In addition to screaming into microphones in small padded rooms, Allegra also enjoys making excellent use of her fifteen-plus years of vocal training by serenading her cat. Sadly, Milo is scared of high notes and runs away, but it’s the thought that counts.

Founded by powerhouse vocalist/bassist Kazuha Oda (Kazha) and guitarist Hideki Matsushige, the band Kazha blends raw rock energy with stunning vocals and international flair. They’ve toured across 40+ U.S. states, electrified anime and comic conventions worldwide, and shared the stage with icons like Y&T, and King’s X.

The band, from Japan but now based in Memphis, tours nationally in the USA. As an official ambassador of Music Export Memphis, Kazha continues to deliver unforgettable performances filled with passion, power, and authenticity.
