Kelly Ray was born and raised in Gastonia, a small city outside of Charlotte, North Caolina. She got the acting bug in third grade and with much begging and pleading, was able to attend school in New York City. For two years she studied at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy and graduated in 1999 from the studio program. She moved back home shortly after graduation to star in many community theater productions. Finally realizing that she had the talent, Ms. Ray made her way back to New York and has been a working actress ever since. She has starred in a number of horror flicks and loves to do voice work. You can hear her talents in a number of different anime cartoons including, Alien Nine, Hammerboy, and The Mask of Zeguy. She is currently working on Naru Taru, a 15 episode anime which should be set to finish summer of 2005.
