It's too close to the character I've already done

I agree that the roles are very different, but not recognising her is crazy to me. Jennifer English has one of the most distinctive voices I've ever heard, so much so that I'm wary of getting a little burned out on her just like I was on Matt Mercer. Though she is not as ubiquitous (yet).

This is not a slight on her voice acting (she is very good) she just always sounds distinctively Jennifer English.
