Biography

Born in Washington, United States, Allen moved to Japan in 1993. In 1996, she started her acting career on the TV program Tensai TV kun (天才テレビくん) on NHK. She was the singing voice of Claris in Nights into Dreams and performed on the kids' version of the title song, "Dreams Dreams". She later returned to sing a new version in the Nights: Journey of Dreams video game entitled "Dreams Dreams: Sweet Snow".

Due to a throat dystonia, Allen has semi retired from voice acting into the 2010s, while attending therapy sessions to treat her condition. Allen continues work as a manager and translator at a Japanese narration agency.[1]
