Guest Annoucement; Terri Hawkes!
Posted by Ai Kon on July 10, 2022As an actor, TERRI HAWKES has over twenty-five years of professional experience across
Canada and the U.S. In the worlds of anime, animation and radio drama, Ms. Hawkes has been
entrusted with voicing a number of iconic characters, including the title voices in Sailor Moon
and Princess Sissi. Other leads include Baby Hugs and Shreeky in Care Bears, Franny in Quads,
Lily in Flying Rhino Jr. High, Bianca in Beverly Hills Teens, and her current role as Toast in Bee
and Puppycat. In Radio Drama (think of it as vintage podcasts), her lead roles include Mabel
Bell as Alexander Graham Bell’s hearing impaired daughter, and Ms. Hawkes’ award nominated
turn as Vivian in the acclaimed CBC series: Vivian. Test Drive, another CBC Radio Drama, was
recorded with Gordon Pinsent Sept. 11, 2001, and will always remain etched in her memory as
a testament to the power of culture as a healing salve. Ms. Hawkes’ on-camera acting has
garnered her nods for the Gemini Award, ACTRA Award, and American Soap Opera Award.
Lately she has been having great fun as the decidedly unwoke headmistress Mrs. Hein in the
fun new comedy Lady Ada’s Secret Society (or L.A.S.S.) – a web series providing comedic role
models to girls interested in STEM – currently playing on marbleKids YouTube channel.
