Taliesin Jaffe ( ) is an American voice actor, voice director, and screenwriter. He has worked on English-dubbing roles for anime and video games. He is a cast member on Critical Role, a web series in which he plays Dungeons & Dragons with other voice actors. Jaffe has also frequently voiced the Flash in various video games.
Jaffe was a member of an AV club at school and his friends and he would create their own English dubs of anime using the club's equipment. After high school, Jaffe made a demonstration tape using his dubbing work, which led to his career in anime dubbing and voice direction.
In May 2023, Darrington Press imprint announced the upcoming Candela Obscura campaign setting co-created by Jaffe and Chris Lockey for the Illuminated Worlds tabletop role-playing game system. The Candela Obscura Quickstart Guide was released on May 25 with the Candela Obscura Core Rulebook scheduled for release later in 2023. The release of the Quickstart Guide corresponds with the release of the new monthly horror–themed actual play web series titled Candela Obscura created by Critical Role Productions; Jaffe serves as the show's Lightkeeper who provides the characters their mission each episode.
