Melodee Spevack

Melodee Spevack voiced Agent Mai in the Harmony Gold English dub of Dragon Ball, the early localization that introduced the series to American viewers. She reprised the role in the film Dragon Ball: Mystical Adventure. Agent Mai, the cool and composed member of the Red Ribbon Army, required a strong, confident vocal performance, which Spevack delivered. The Harmony Gold dub, while not the most widely remembered localization, represented one of the first efforts to bring Dragon Ball to English-speaking audiences and shaped early impressions of the franchise for some viewers.

Spevack has built a prolific voice acting career across numerous anime dubs, from Digimon to Cowboy Bebop and Fushigi Yugi. As vice president of Voxworks, a Nevada-based voice production company, she has held positions both in front of the microphone and in the executive suite, contributing to the infrastructure of English anime dubbing. Her work spans multiple decades and hundreds of character roles across varied genres.
