“It’s super fun,” she said of voice acting. “But I will say the first time I ever did a session, I did not realize how taxing it would be because you’re yelling continuously the whole time. I think the first time I ever did it, I threw up.”

Now, she’s clarifying that her story was in fact NOT from Super Mario Bros, but for another project she did.

“I never said it was Princess Peach. I said it was the first time that I ever did voice acting,” she told Entertainment Tonight. “And what happened was I went in quite blind and I did it for eight straight hours. So, eight straight hours of screaming and efforts and this and that and whatever. And I drank so much water that I puked. So, I don’t do that anymore. I break it up and it’s helpful.”

In another interview, Anya recalled to Entertainment Weekly, “I don’t know why I thought it would be really chill. I thought I was going to go in there and be like, [talking normally]. And it wasn’t. It was like, [talking loudly]. The whole time.”

She notes after the session, she called a friend and asked, “Can you come get me? I am not okay.”

Prior to Super Mario, Anya voiced characters in Playmobil: The Movie and the animated series The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance.
