Claire Margaret Corlett was born on July 9, 1999, in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada. Her introduction to the entertainment industry began at an early age; her father, voice actor Ian James Corlett, created her first voice-acting demo when she was five years old in 2004. Her initial roles included a preschooler in “Being Ian,” an animated series based on her father’s experiences. By 2008, Corlett gained recognition for voicing Sally Brown in the “Peanuts Motion Comics,” a series adapting Charles M. Schulz’s comic strip. She further established her presence in animation by voicing Tiny Pteranodon in “Dinosaur Train” from 2009 to 2020 and Michelle Conrad in “3-2-1 Penguins!” from 2007 to 2008. These early roles laid the groundwork for a career predominantly in voice acting, for which she would become widely recognized.

Corlett’s career progressed significantly with her role as Sweetie Belle in “My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic,” airing from 2011 to 2019, a role that gained her a dedicated fan base and a BTVA People’s Choice Voice Acting Award in 2013 for Best Female Vocal Performance by a Child. She also voiced Dizzy, the tilting drum cement mixer, in the American dub of “Bob the Builder” (2015-2018). Beyond animation, Corlett expanded into live-action, making her debut as Frank in Hallmark’s “Smart Cookies” at age thirteen in 2012. Her live-action credits include “Before I Fall” (2017) as Devil Cupid and “To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You” (2020) as a Teenage Girl. In 2024, she became an American citizen, marking a personal milestone in her life and career.

In addition to her acting roles, Corlett has engaged in other aspects of media production. She worked as an editor for the popular YouTube channels “Black Gryph0n” and the “Riggle’s Picks” podcast. She has also served as an executive producer. Her versatility extends to music, with her contributing vocals and piano, and her comedic talents are evident through her improv training at institutions like Groundlings and Upright Citizens Brigade. Corlett’s consistent involvement in both voice acting and other creative endeavors showcases a diverse and active career path.
