Zelina Vega wants to take her love of anime and video games one step further.
During her appearance on IGN FanFest, Zelina Vega spoke about her desire to do voice acting in the future, calling it a dream of hers.
“So I actually really want to get into voice acting. Yes, I love it, and I’m a huge fan of Naruto and Demon Slayer, and I’m just like, man, it would be amazing to have this full circle of voicing a character and then cosplaying them in the ring. So if that is for Street Fighter in the future, maybe? Whether that’s for Naruto Ninja Storm or for maybe a Demon Slayer game or something like that. But I would love to voice a character and then cosplay them. That’s like my ultimate dream.”
Vega also spoke about her love for the UpUpDownDown brand.
“It’s amazing, honestly, and it’s so cool because it’s run by somebody who has such an amazing soul. Everybody loves [Xavier] Woods. Everybody loves him, and I feel like having someone like him in charge of something like that it makes you just want to go in there and show out. Whether that’s showing out in the way of really trying harder in the video games because you want to win or just doing it for the fans to see an extra side of you that they don’t get to see all the time, and it gives us an outlet to just be ourselves, and he makes it comfortable and okay to just be silly and nerdy and however we want to be that day. So it’s really cool to just –especially like people who come up to me and are like, ‘Wow, I didn’t know that you were actually good at Street Fighter. Interesting.’ Or I’ll get random challenges on my Instagram in my DMs often like, ‘Yeah, sure you beat Kofi [Kingston], but can you beat me?’ and I’m like, oh, you poor soul. So stuff like that.”
Zelina Vega appeared in the 2023 Women’s Royal Rumble dressed as Juri from Street Fighter 6. It was also announced that she will be an in-game commentator for the highly anticipated game.
