Sailor Moon[]
In 1995, Tracey Moore was the first actress to play Serena Tsukino during the first season of DiC Entertainment's English localization of Toei Animation's Sailor Moon. Moore created the blueprint for the role that was followed by two other actresses; as well as serving as voice director and assistant casting director to the series. Moore voiced the title character of the series in the first eleven episodes and voiced Serena in the fifteenth and twenty-first episodes, she voiced a total thirteen episodes and directed the first season.[2]
As the voiee director of Sailor Moon, Moore coached the cast in "Rythmaband" technique; utilized by Optimum productions primarily to dub English film into other languages quickly. Operating as a French language dubbing company, Optimum had never done an English first run animation for television, and the cast was unfamiliar with the method. .Contrary to the book by Roland Parliament, the reality is that during the first recording, Moore was recommended by DiC to replace the director, who was normally employed for French dubbing, and was not suited for a first run series Nicole Therault acted as producer for Optimum and was a subcontractor to DiC Ent. She was never a voice director Moore was contracted first as the voice, and then as the director with the understanding that her standing professional commitments would be honored and accommodated for three weeks,( Moore had a commitment to play Eliza in My Fair Lady prior to landing Sailor Moon.) Optimum did not meet their contractual obligation to get a director to cover, so Moore volunteered to train a cast member , Roland Parliament , who had never directed before, to fill in her absence, and Moore would review recordings. However, when Moore was away, Optimum broke the contract and they continued with the much less expensive Parliament, whom Moore had trained. Moore was not paid her contract fees and the matter went to litigation. Moore was offered to stay in the production as Serena, but the betrayal posed too big an obstacle, and Moore resigned. DiC had worked prior with both Moore and Terri Hawkes and the actresses had switched roles in previous productions. Hawkes was approached and stepped in. Moore had "set the show" and the English speaking character of Serena. She was instrumental in helping the new multidimensional content of Japanese Anime make sense in the production and to the western actors and audiences.
