Career
After graduating from UCLA, she took a job as a producer to pay the bills while she pursued her acting career. She learned everything from creating licensing agreements and budgets to write ADR and subtitled scripts. When the opportunity arose to change her focus on acting, she jumped at it. As she rose, she always considered herself as an actor rather than an actress. As well as voice actor rather than voice actress. Only to find it neutral to all genders to consider themselves as actors or voice actors in her opinion.
Stephanie has recorded radio spots for United States Cellular Corporation and was thrilled to record an episode of Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated, which she voiced Mai Le. Even though she got her star in doing voice-over for anime, she can still be heard in many video games like Bioshock 2, Aion: The Tower of Eternity, True Crime: New York City, Devil May Cry 4, and Resident Evil 5 as the current voice of Rebecca Chambers on the Resident Evil franchise. Beyond using her voice, Stephanie was flown by plane to Japan to voice and motion capture the role of Cereza in Sega's video game Bayonetta. Not only that, she also voice and motion captured the role of Canna in Ninja Gaiden 3. She has also worked as a voice-over director for video games such as Resident Evil 5, Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition, Resident Evil 6, Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles, Resident Evil: Chronicles HD Collection, Resident Evil: Revelations, and Castlevania Judgement.
Sheh also has quite a few skills behind the scenes. She has also worked as a recording engineer and voice director. Her first passion however, remains acting. In college, she was the Film&TV editor for the Daily Bruin, where she reviewed movies and interviewed celebrities. She dabbled as a freelance entertainment journalist before transitioning to producing. She kept up with her writing chops by adapting graphic novels and ADR scripts, such as Transformers: Cybertron, Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn, Mia and the Migoo, Paradise Kiss and various others.
She got her training and studying on acting, voice acting, and improvisation in Second City Training Center, East West Players and Susan Blu Voiceover Workshop and UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television. She takes acting lessons once a week.
She is even a wedding photographer that works with her dearest friend, Minh Nguyen at Life Magical.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“I restore myself when I’m alone. A career is born in public—talent in privacy.”
—Marilyn Monroe (1926–1962)
“What exacerbates the strain in the working class is the absence of money to pay for services they need, economic insecurity, poor daycare, and lack of dignity and boredom in each partner’s job. What exacerbates it in upper-middle class is the instability of paid help and the enormous demands of the career system in which both partners become willing believers. But the tug between traditional and egalitarian models of marriage runs from top to bottom of the class ladder.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
“I seemed intent on making it as difficult for myself as possible to pursue my “male” career goal. I not only procrastinated endlessly, submitting my medical school application at the very last minute, but continued to crave a conventional female role even as I moved ahead with my “male” pursuits.”
—Margaret S. Mahler (1897–1985)
