Cathy Weseluck is a voice actress in My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. Her most prominent role in the series is that of main character Spike.

Weseluck became involved with the show through a standard auditioning process[1] and was cast as Spike and Mayor Mare due to her ideal vocal range.[2] In her original audition for Spike, Weseluck affected a more high-pitched voice because she thought Spike was "a bit more of a baby."[3]

Among the main cast of voice actresses in the series, Weseluck was the only cast member to not reprise her role as Spike in My Little Pony: Pony Life. Weseluck has stated on Twitter that it was her personal choice to stop voicing Spike after the conclusion of Friendship is Magic.[4]

In previous generations of My Little Pony, Weseluck provided the voice of Rarity in My Little Pony Crystal Princess: The Runaway Rainbow. She also served as singing director for My Little Pony Tales.

Outside My Little Pony, Weseluck has provided voices for characters in numerous animated series, including Shampoo in Ranma ½, Chiaotzu, Puar, and young Trunks in Dragon Ball Z, the title character in Cybersix, Kagome Higurashi's mother in InuYasha, Misa Takatsuki in Project ARMS, Garcia in Black Lagoon, Near in Death Note, Ravess in Storm Hawks, Dennis Chan in Kid vs. Kat, Buttercream Sunday in Littlest Pet Shop, and various supporting roles in Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, RoboCop: Alpha Commando, Johnny Test, and the Barbie film series.

Among Weseluck's live-action credits are I'll Be Home for Christmas and guest roles in Stargate SG-1 and M.A.N.T.I.S..
