Pokémon
Blaustein was one of the original voice actors on Pokémon. She initially only played characters of the day, but after EP032, she took over the role of Meowth from Nathan Price. She has commented that she tries to view the Japanese version of the series, and one of her goals is to emulate the scream that Inuko Inuyama gives Meowth.
She remained with the series up until Pokémon USA took control of the dubbing and distribution.
