Rebecca Shoichet is a Canadian voice actress, primarily active since the early 2000s. In 2000, she moved from Victoria to Vancouver. She was hired by the Vancouver-based voice acting company Ocean Productions to voice various roles in the English dubs of Japanese anime. Her earliest prominent role was voicing Sota Higurashi in the fantasy adventure series "Inuyasha" (2000-2004), the younger brother of the female co-protagonist Kagome co-protagonist. She served as a replacement for Sota's previous voice actress Saffron Henderson. Shoichet has since voiced roles in both original English-language series and dubs.

Shoichet has served as a singer in the Vancouver-based music bands "Mimosa", "Side One", and "Soulstream". She has had theatrical roles in productions of the Vancouver Playhouse. She has also worked as an instructor in the voice-over training school "On The Mic Training ".

Shoichet voiced Marvel Comics' super-heroines She-Hulk/Jennifer Walters and Squirrel Girl/Doreen Green in an episode of "Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Heroes" (2006-2010). She voiced the recurring super-villainess Sedusa/Sakurako Kintoki in "Powerpuff Girls Z" (2006-2007). The character was a seductive version of the mythological monster Medusa, with tentacles for hair. Shoichet also voiced the intelligence agent Abigail Brand in the motion comic "Astonishing X-Men" (2012).

Shoichet gained a prominent role as the singing voice of co-protagonist Princess Twilight Sparkle in the long-running fantasy series "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic" (2010-2019). She was reportedly cast after recording a demo for the series' theme song. Her voice sounded similar to that of Tara Strong, who provided Twilight's speaking voice. In the same series, Shoichet voiced the recurring characters Night Glider sand Sugar Belle. Sugar Belle served as the love interest and eventual wife for the supporting character Big McIntosh, and consequently the new sister-in-law of the prominent characters Applejack and Apple Bloom.

In the spin-off film series "Equestria Girls" (2013-2016), Shoichet was cast as the voice of Sunset Shimmer. Sunset was the main villainess of the original film, but she was developed as the protagonist of the sequel films and of a number of subsequent television specials. Shoichet continued voicing the character until the release of the final television special in 2019.

Shoichet voiced the Marvel Comics super-heroine Captain Marvel/Carol Danvers in the animated film "Lego Marvel Avengers: Climate Conundrum" (2020) and the web series "Marvel Battleworld: Mystery of the Thanostones" (2020) and "Marvel Battleworld: Treachery at Twilight" (2021). She also voiced the heroine Gamora in "Mystery of the Thanostones", which depicted the character as a Valkyrie.

By 2024, Shoichet was 49-years-old. Though she has not had any major recurring roles in the 2020s, she has not retired yet. Several of her past roles are still popular, and Shoichet is a well-known figure to animation fans.
