Krystal LaPorte


Krystal LaPorte is an American voice actress and lawyer, best known for her voicework on anime dubs for Sentai Filmworks and Funimation.

Early life and career

LaPorte was raised in a suburb of Chicago, where from a young age she was active in local theater; and became interested in poetry and music. She intended to take a theater program with the aim of a career as an opera singer, instead taking the path to become an attorney. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Philosophy, Political Science and Psychology from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and went on to study at the University of Houston Law Center. During her three years in law school, she pursued a voice acting career, after studying acting theory and improv in her free time during her Bachelor's program. Since passing the bar, LaPorte primarily works as a criminal defense attorney, with voice acting sessions occupying her evenings.

Personal life

LaPorte initially met Christopher Ayres through voice acting in anime, but credited their bond to a variety of common interests. LaPorte and Ayres were in a relationship for nine years, until his death in 2021.
