Does anyone know why Tana's VA changed?

I dont mind it, but Im just curious why Summer Tana has a different VA than vanilla Tana. I checked other seasonal units but I didn't really see any changes in VA's. The only other one I noticed was between BLyn and VLyn but they sounded the same and BLyn sounded pretty much the same as far as I could tell and there was only a blank line for hers. The Tana's also sound the same to me but it changed from Melissa Fahn(Vanilla) to Joie Marlowe(Summer).

"Joie Marlowe" is actually Melissa Fahn's alias, so Tana's voice actress remains unchanged. I have proof:

Oh ok that kinda makes sense, I just didn't realize that VAs use aliases sometimes. I'm guessing that's what was going on with Lyn too. I know writers sometimes do this and people online but VAs doing this is foreign to me. Anyways thanks for the help!

I think Olwen's VA also changed with WT!Olwen.

Because of Erin Fitzgerald, Olwen's original voice actress, is now in full union, she is unable to reprise the role of WT Olwen. Her role was replaced by Tara Sands. Such a shame, because I'm a fan of Erin Fitzgerald.

Ah okay. Unfortunately I only had WT!Olwen so I couldn't as easily check normal's Olwen's VA but yeah if it was Erin Fitzgerald then it makes since why it changed.

Don't quote me on this, but I read that the second name is just an alias and not another voice actress. (Hopefully, someone can confirm this.)

Other than that, characters have had their voice actors changed in the past, so it's not that uncommon. For example, Lucina was originally voiced by Laura Bailey until she was switched out for Alexis Tipton because of some VA union strike going on (I think?).
