'''Madeleine Joan Blaustein''', most commonly credited as '''Maddie Blaustein''', was a voice actress who provides the voices of many characters in the English dub of the [[Pokémon anime]]. Her most famous role is that of {{MTR}}. She was also credited as '''Adam Blaustein''' and '''Addie Blaustein'''.

==Biography==
Maddie Blaustein was born on October 9, 1960 in Long Island, New York, USA, as '''Adam John Blaustein'''. She was a male-to-female {{wp|transexualism|transexual}}.

In addition to being a voice actress, Blaustein was also an artist and writer. She had written and edited for {{wp|Marvel Comics}} and, at the time of her death, was the senior digital artist at {{wp|DC Comics}}. She created the character of Rubber-Band Man from the cartoon {{wp|Static Shock}}. Blaustein was an artist in [http://www.trannyroadshow.org Tranny Road Show], a performing group composed of {{wp|transgender}}ed artists and performers. She had also collaborated with Gina Kamentsky on the cartoon ''Platform 6''. She also coached [[Kayzie Rogers]] for anime voice acting.

It was reported on December 16, 2008 that Blaustein had passed away in her sleep on the previous Thursday after a short illness.

==Pokémon==
Blaustein was one of the original voice actors on Pokémon. She initially only played [[character of the day|characters of the day]], but after [[EP032]], she took over [[Nathan Price]]'s role as {{MTR}}. She had commented that she tried to view the Japanese version of the series, and one of her goals was 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. Most of her roles on Pokémon were taken over by [[Bill Rogers]] and [[Billy Beach]].

She returned in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]] [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness|special]] and provided the voice of {{p|Chatot}}.
