There are guests who fill a radio hour, and then there are guests who light it up. Erica Muse, actress and beloved anime voice artist, brought both presence and personality when she sat down with host Pete Trabucco on Live on Tape, airing on WWDB AM 860 Talk Radio out of Philadelphia.
Pete Trabucco is not only one of the best radio hosts around but also a pilot, actor, sales executive, and author — a multifaceted personality whose interviews are enlightening, vibrant, informative, and often exciting. He makes his guests feel comfortable and confident, and his questions are on point with a warm, laid-back, non-confrontational vibe. It’s that quality that makes Live on Tape the kind of show where guests open up — and Erica Muse was no exception.
Born Erica Long in Dallas, Texas and raised throughout the suburbs, Muse started acting at just five years old in Christmas musicals and worked on her first professional set at fifteen. From those early beginnings, she has built a career that spans film, television, commercials, print, and the world of voice acting — a world where she has carved out a particularly passionate and loyal following.
Muse is known to anime fans for voicing Kannazuki in The Fruit of Evolution, Ivy in Aphmau, Gwyn in Selaco, and Cinnamon in One Piece — and her work can be heard across anime, video games, podcasts, and web series, while her on-screen presence has appeared in films, shows, music videos, and commercials. The breadth of that resume speaks to an artist who has never stopped working, never stopped growing, and never stopped saying yes to the next creative challenge.
On Live on Tape, Muse walked Trabucco and his audience through the arc of that career — from a little girl enchanted by performance to a working professional who has made her mark in some of the most beloved animated and live action properties in the industry. She has described storytelling as what gets her through the darkest times, providing an outlet to laugh, learn, and cry with others — and her drive to help provide those stories to audiences is what keeps her going.
That sense of purpose came through clearly in her conversation with Trabucco. This is not an artist chasing fame for its own sake. This is someone who understands what stories do for people — how they console, inspire, and connect — and who has dedicated her professional life to being part of that process.
For fans of anime, for lovers of voice performance, and for anyone who appreciates an artist with genuine depth and range, Erica Muse is a name to know. Her appearance on Live on Tape with Pete Trabucco was a reminder of why this show remains one of Philadelphia radio’s most compelling platforms — and why its guests keep raising the bar.
Live on Tape with Pete Trabucco airs every Saturday at 2:00 PM on WWDB AM 860 Talk Radio and is available anytime at wwdbam.com.
