Q & A With Rebecca Forstadt
Ladies and gentlemen, I have something special today. After much effort, I was able to contact Rebecca Forstadt and get some answers to some questions about the Maple Town English dub.
Rebecca Forstadt is an American voice actress best known for her role in anime and cartoons. Her best known role hands down is Lynn Minmei from Robotech as well as Mihoshi in Tenchi Muyo. In Maple Town, she voiced Patty Rabbit, the protagonist of the series.
In my attempts to solve the long standing questions around Maple Town's English dub, I wanted to reach out to Rebecca in the hope that she might have answers. I did get some answers and am very grateful for her time. So without further ado...let's get to those questions!
