About Anairis Quiñones
Anairis Quinones is a Puerto Rican black actor based in Los Angeles, California. They were born and raised in central Florida. At a young age, she fell in love with stories from books, cartoons, and movies. Their favorite movie series was Harry Potter, and she developed a strong attachment to Hermione Granger. She re-enacted scenes from the films often. Their first love was writing, but the one that stuck professionally was acting.
They started voice acting through online communities when they were only 11 years old. Prior, they had some theatre experience but was held back by social anxiety and frequent relocation. Anairis has remarked that her interest in VO piqued after watching the 2003 anime Fullmetal Alchemist. They learned about Laura Bailey’s process from a commentary track, and the rest was history.
They worked with indie game devs and college animators for years as they grew up and went to school. She pursued psychology, but redirected their focus fully to VO after booking Kemono Friends and RWBY despite not being local to major hubs. They owe their love of collaboration to their earliest projects.
After receiving her Associate’s, Anairis moved to TX briefly in August 2019. Their move was short-lived after a family emergency brought her back home to FL to care for her family. Their career picked up at the start of the pandemic due to remote recording. They’ve done anime, cartoons, commercials, video games, and more ever since.
Anairis moved to Los Angeles, CA in 2022.
