Has Yeardley Smith ever voiced any character besides Lisa? ---

Huh. I’m just two days older than Lisa Simpson. Cool. ---

[QUOTE=An Gadaí] According to IMDB no. [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0810379/](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0810379/) [/QUOTE] While she hasn’t done voices for any of the regular characters, or even secondary or tertiary characters other than Lisa, she has done a few one-shot characters. The one that comes most to mind is when Lisa sees a movie about the Tango De Le Muerte, or something, and the voice of the girl that dances is Yeardley Smith speaking in a bad Spanish accent. ---

It’s been so long since I saw [the episode with Lester and Eliza](http://www.snpp.com/episodes/3F16.html) that I’m perfectly prepared to be wrong, but I’m pretty sure Yeardley did the voice of Eliza. Edit: Provided, of course, that Eliza even had any lines in that episode. ---

[QUOTE=KneadToKnow] Edit: Provided, of course, that Eliza even had any lines in that episode. [/QUOTE] She didn’t. Smith sounds almost exactly like Lisa - just older. So she’s not going to be in demand for other voice work like a Tress MacNeille is. ---

That was going to be my question: Does she just not have the range of the other voice-actors, or does she just not want to do any other character? ---

[QUOTE=silenus] That was going to be my question: Does she just not have the range of the other voice-actors, or does she just not want to do any other character? [/QUOTE] I’ve heard her say that any other character she’s tried just sounds like Lisa doing a character. I’ve definitely heard her do some one-offs, especially in earlier episodes, but you always know it’s her (which can’t be a plus for a voice actor).
