Mercedes Rose

Mercedes Rose (born March 22, 1972) was the original voice actress for Rosalina. She voiced her in Super Mario Galaxy, Mario Kart Wii and Super Mario Galaxy 2 before being replaced by Kerri Kane.

Mercedes Rose was born in the United States, in Salem, Oregon. She eventually took up acting, and does work in commercials and advertising. Her introduction to voice-acting came in 2001 when her agent called her down to an audition without telling her it was a voiceover role until she arrived. Always working on expanding her skills, Mercedes went along with it and has been doing professional voiceovers ever since. While she still does live-action spots, she favors voice-work, and has even created a school dedicated to sharing the skills of a voiceover career, Voiceover Driving School. Mercedes Rose also has her own in-home studio which includes state-of-the-art equipment and software.
