Born and raised in the Philippines,
Vanille Velasquez has dreamed of being in animation and video games since the young age of 10.

 

At 17 years old, she became a part of local Philippine TV anime channel Hero TV's Dubbing Academy, a dubbing workshop and contest packaged into a TV show. She emerged the first runner-up and from there began her career in the local dubbing industry, one of her biggest roles being Lana and Lisa in the Tagalog version of The Loud House.

 

Around this same time, Vanille has also began building her career online by working on indie games and student animated films.

 

But it would not be until the last 2 years when her career would really take off. In 2020, she was cast in her first original animation role in the Singaporean animated TV series, Lil Wild. A year later, she would play the titular character, Jelly in Jelly, Ben & Pogo on PBS Kids in the United States. And in just a few months, she would not only be cast as Zeri in Riot Games' League of Legends but also as Neon in Valorant.

 

Vanille believes her career is really only getting started.
