For those who don't know, Wendee Lee and Michelle Ruff are the two women credited for providing the female Avatar's voices in English. At one point Wendee Lee, who plays voice 2, was credited for also doing voice 1, but now the widespread belief is that Michelle Ruff (voice 3 and Noire) plays it. My problem with this is that I'm familiar with both VAs (especially Michelle Ruff) and neither of them have the vocal range for that voice.
If you haven't heard voice 1, you can listen to some clips here and here.
Now compare them to Michelle Ruff's and Wendee Lee's voice acting.
It could just be me, but I don't hear any similarities between either of their voices and voice 1. This bothered me, so I did some searching and found one person who thinks that Lauren Landa's the one who plays it. I found a video that lists her roles and gives a few samples, and I personally think that she sounds pretty similar to voice 1 (mostly from 2:03 onward).
Anyway, what are your thoughts? Are you hearing something in Ruff or Lee that I'm not, or do you think that whoever played voice 1—Landa or otherwise—chose not to be credited?
