OccupationVoice actor

David Wald is an American voice actor who voices in English dubs of Japanese anime. Some of his major roles include: Gajeel Redfox in Fairy Tail, Hannes in Attack on Titan, Bulat in Akame ga Kill!, and Master Chief in Halo Legends. He is involved in productions for Funimation and ADV Films (now Seraphim Digital and Sentai Filmworks) in Texas. He is openly gay and advocates bringing positive homosexual representation in dubbed anime.[1] He served as ADR director for Sentai Filmworks dubs of yuri and yaoi titles: Love Stage, Bloom into You, Hitorijime My Hero, and Kase-san and Morning Glories.

In October 2024, Wald accused Crunchyroll and its predecessor FUNimation of opening his private mail, throwing away letters and distributing included items to staff. A Crunchyroll spokesperson said the company was investigating.[2] Wald said the following month that he would depart his role in Fairy Tail and would not return to Crunchyroll's studio.[3]
