You’ve seen the abstract horrors. You've heard the frantic breathing of a jester who just realized she’s stuck in a candy-colored purgatory forever. But if you’re like me, you spent half of The Amazing Digital Circus squinting at your screen and thinking, "Wait, I know that voice."
Honestly, the cast of this show is basically a "Who's Who" of the indie animation and anime dubbing world. It’s not just some random group of people Glitch Productions found in a basement. These are heavy hitters.
Pomni is a Huge Anime Star (Literally)
Let’s talk about Lizzie Freeman. She voices Pomni, our resident spiraling protagonist. If Pomni sounds familiar, it’s probably because you’ve heard her in some of the biggest anime of the last decade.
Lizzie is everywhere. She’s Trish Una in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. She’s Chizuru in Rent-A-Girlfriend. She even voiced Yanfei in Genshin Impact. Basically, if there’s a character who is either incredibly sweet or completely losing their mind, there’s a 50% chance it's Lizzie.
The range she brings to Pomni is wild. She has to go from "deadpan confusion" to "existential scream" in about three seconds. It’s a workout for the vocal cords, for sure.

Caine and the "Showman" Energy
Then you have Caine. The teeth. The eyes. The absolute lack of boundaries.
Alex Rochon is the man behind the ringmaster, and his performance is... well, it’s unhinged in the best way possible. Alex didn’t come from the traditional big-studio pipeline. He built a massive following doing fan dubs, most notably for Spamton in Deltarune.
If you listen closely to Caine, you can hear that "glitchy salesman" DNA. It’s fast-paced, high-energy, and sounds like a man who is exactly one cup of coffee away from a total meltdown. It’s perfect for an AI that doesn’t quite understand human suffering.
Jax: The Voice You Love to Hate
Michael Kovach voices Jax, the purple rabbit who is objectively a jerk. Michael is a legend in the indie scene. He was the original voice of Angel Dust in the Hazbin Hotel pilot. He’s also N in Murder Drones.

Kovach has this specific "smug" tone that makes you want to shove Jax into a locker, which is exactly the point. Fun fact: he and Ashley Nichols (who voices Zooble) actually used to date, which makes the constant bickering between their characters in the show even funnier when you think about it.
The Rest of the Circus Troupe
The supporting cast is just as stacked.
- Sean Chiplock (Kinger): This guy is a veteran. He’s Revali in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Diluc in Genshin Impact. Going from a stoic warrior to a paranoid chess piece with a bug collection is a hell of a flex.
- Amanda Hufford (Ragatha): She brings that "tired mom trying to keep it together" energy that Ragatha needs. She’s worked on everything from Genshin Impact to Goddess of Victory: Nikke.
- Marissa Lenti (Gangle): She handles the tragic/happy mask dynamic perfectly. Marissa is a prolific voice director and actress who you might recognize from One Piece or Dragon Ball Super.
The Amazing Digital Circus Voice Actors: More Than Just Internet Stars
People sometimes assume that because a show is on YouTube, the talent isn't "professional." That’s a massive misconception. Most of the actors in this show have decades of combined experience in the Los Angeles and international dubbing circuits.
They record in professional booths. They have agents. They do the whole nine yards.

What makes The Amazing Digital Circus different is the freedom. In a big corporate dub, you’re often constrained by the original Japanese timing or a strict script. Here, they get to play. You can hear the improvisation in the way the characters overlap or stumble over their words. It feels human, which is ironic considering they’re all trapped in a digital void.
Why This Cast Matters for Indie Animation
The success of this cast is a huge signal to the rest of the industry. It proves that you don't need a Hollywood A-lister to get a billion views. You just need people who actually understand the characters.
The chemistry between Lizzie Freeman and Alex Rochon, for instance, is what makes the pilot work. If Caine didn't sound so genuinely oblivious to Pomni's trauma, the horror wouldn't land as well.
What to Watch Next
If you’ve finished the available episodes and you’re craving more from these specific actors, here is where you can find them:
- Check out Murder Drones: Also by Glitch Productions. Michael Kovach (Jax) plays the lead, and his character N is basically the polar opposite of Jax. It’s a great way to see his range.
- Look up "HuniCast": This was a series of streams hosted by Ashley Nichols (Zooble) featuring Michael Kovach and often other members of the indie VA community. It’s chaotic, hilarious, and very NSFW compared to the circus.
- Follow their socials: Most of these actors are extremely active on X (Twitter) and TikTok. They often post "behind the mic" clips or join fan-made projects.
- Explore the anime dubs: Go watch Lycoris Recoil for Lizzie Freeman or Re:Zero for Sean Chiplock. It’s fun to hear the "Digital Circus" voices in completely different settings.
The indie animation boom isn't slowing down. With the cast they've assembled, it's pretty clear that the talent is moving toward where the creative freedom is.
