Which actress voiced Luisa in Encanto?

Jessica Darrow voiced Luisa Madrigal in Encanto's original English-language version.

Luisa is Mirabel's older sister and the second daughter of Julieta and Agustín. Her magical gift is superhuman strength, which makes her the family's dependable problem-solver: she carries donkeys, moves heavy objects, and helps keep the surrounding community running.

Although Luisa appears confident, the song “Surface Pressure” reveals that she feels overwhelmed by constant expectations. Her story is not simply about being strong; it explores the pressure of being the person everyone relies on and the fear that love may depend on usefulness. Jessica Darrow's performance gives the character both comic force and emotional vulnerability.

A frequent mix-up is Stephanie Beatriz, who voiced Mirabel, Luisa's younger sister. Adassa voiced Dolores, while Diane Guerrero voiced Isabela, Luisa's older sister. As with many animated films, dubbed releases use different performers, so Jessica Darrow specifically identifies the original English cast.
