STEPHANIE SOUTHERLAND
Voice Actor Guest
From the high-stakes battlefield to the most whimsical of worlds, Stephanie
Southerland brings dynamic characters to life. She takes charge as Tess Bailey in Call of
Duty: Black Ops 6, commanding attention with her powerful performance. She also
joins the Fortnite universe as Haylee Skye, a spirited cheerleader who transforms into
the ferocious Storm Beast, showcasing her ability to shift from bubbly to beastly in a
heartbeat.
But her versatility doesn’t stop there. Stephanie embodies fierce leaders like Jean
Gunnhildr in Genshin Impact, Freyja in Fire Emblem Heroes, Coldshot in Arknights, and
Salandria in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight. On the lighter side, she delivers charm and
humor as Mama Bear and Queen Bee in Bugs Bunny Builders, the adventurous Polly
Pocket in Polly Pocket Adventure Studio, and the delightfully ditzy Natasha in Rainbow
High. And while being a bully isn’t her true nature, she relishes voicing the sassy and
sharp-tongued Glitch, also in Rainbow High.
Stephanie's talents extend beyond human characters—she thrives in voicing creatures,
from the haunting Nøkken in God of War: Ragnarök to a monkey, a chicken, and more in
LEGO Fortnite.
A trained singer, dancer, and actor with a bachelor’s degree in Music Dance Theater,
Stephanie is a triple threat. She brings both warmth and vocal power to roles like
Madame Blueberry and Callie Flower in The VeggieTales Show, as well as Fisher-Price’s
irresistibly bouncy Boppin’ Beaver. She’s skilled in classical, pop/mix, belt, folk, country,
jazz, and even a little rap, lol. With a background in improv, she’s currently sharpening
her comedic chops in the Groundlings Core Track. When she’s not behind the mic,
Stephanie is an animal rescue advocate, dedicating her time to the local animal shelter
and doing her part to make a "paw-sitive" impact on furry friends in need.

BLACK ROS3
Performing Guest: Anime Cover band
The band explain where Black Ros3 comes from, they really embody the anime love that unites us all.
"BLACKROS3 means a lot of things to us. This ranges from card games, to memorable songs, to some general coolness. A major connection is our love of the Yu-Gi-Oh card game. This interest of ours stems back to our childhoods where Michael competed competitively and Vanessa focused her plant deck around the Black Rose Dragon card. In a more musical connection, Rose by Anna Tsuchiya (from the anime Nana) was a staple song in both of our previous band’s set, and became something we quickly identified to. Lastly, domain names are just hard to find. The 3 in our name doesn’t have much hidden meaning, but we like to think that our special guest performers or our audience can be that special 3rd member that makes each event special.
BLACKROS3 Band
The premier Anime, J-Rock, and Video Game cover band in Las Vegas.
