BronyCAN brings another first-timer to the convention scene, though this guest has been singing for the show since the very first season. It is our distinct honor to announce voice actress and singer Rebecca Shoichet as our latest guest of honor to the convention. She is elated to join our growing list of show guests to meet the fans of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic! Rebecca provides the singing voice of Twilight Sparkle through every season of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, and voices Sunset Shimmer, Twilight Sparkle’s high school rival and antagonist in Equestria Girls. She also voices Sota Higurashi in Inuyasha, Mayura Labatt in Mobile Suit Gundam Seed, and Tricia in Iron Man: Armored Adventures. http://bit.ly/14IbAOY Twitter: @RebeccaShoichet IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1690630/ In another musically-inclined development, the North Equestrian Summer Sun Album has been released for all to hear and enjoy! With ten tracks from community musicians such as Forest Rain, Starborne, HeyLasFas, Silva Hound, and Additive/Subtractive, including a royal introduction provided by MEMJ0123, this summertime soundscape is sure to delight fans across the pony fandom! The album is available for purchase as individual tracks or $5 (or more!) for the whole album, and is already making the rounds on Everfree Network, Fillydelphia Radio, and Ponyville Live. On top of that, all profits of this album benefit the travel and housing expenses of musicians performing at BronyCAN 2013, so please support your community musicians! http://bronycan.bandcamp.com/album/north-equestrian-summer-sun-album
