Anna is commonly seen typing responses to the chat, or bringing up noteworthy chat comments to Chris Perkins's attention during the livestream. "The most important thing.when you're playing Dungeons and Dragons while live streaming is think about the people who are sitting in the room with you.because as people get attached to your characters and to the story line, they want to help, they want to give you suggestions, they want to laugh along with you or cry along with you". Given her history in broadcasting, and her initial experience with D&D being limited to live-streams, Anna is particularly aware of the audience in her performances. She already had some experience playing D&D on the Misscliks channel (although mostly 2E/homebrew hybrid games). Role in Dice, Camera, Action! Īnna was recommended by Greg Bilsland to be a player on WotC's "Dice Camera Action" live streaming 5E D&D show, though she had never met any of the cast before. She was also in a local choir in Oregon, and has sung in some of her videos. She also joined Holly Conrad's first live-stream attempt at DM'ing in her series, "Trapped in the Birdcage", where she plays the kleptomaniac thief Wilhelmina.Īnna won the "Miss Oregon USA" beauty pageant in 2011, where she was proud to describe herself as a "part-time nerd" and a "chic geek". She has since begun her first DM'ing experience, running the Missclicks group through the Lost Mines of Phandelver adventure. They also showcased multiple D&D campaigns, many of which Anna has participated in since making her first character in 2013, a half-elvan female assassin named "December".

Īnna is also one of four women active in eSports or professional gaming who co-founded Misscliks, a Twitch community that encouraged inclusiveness in gaming and making it a safe environment for everyone, highlighting minority role models. In February 2019, she moved jobs from Lead Producer of Twitch Studios to Managing Producer on a new Creator Development team. Anna has mentioned that a perk of working for Twitch is that her bosses "understand why I need to take half the day off on Tuesday" to play DCA on D&D's official Twitch channel (her workplace can be seen in the background when she streams).
In addition to hosting and broadcasting live content for Twitch (a change from her previous work, which usually involved some post-production editing), she continues to broadcast her own material and do freelance hosting for Blizzard (initially for StarCraft, but now mostly for their Heroes of the Storm game).
Despite feeling like she had contributed a lot to the growth of the company and being proud to have been a part of it, after it was bought by Twitch and began moving in new directions, she felt she no longer had a place there. Others at Twitch showed interest in her work, and in late 2015 Anna joined their Programming department to continue "building the narrative of what gaming is turning into". Once there, she continued to find herself filling odd jobs with no specific role, and many times a project that she started would get turned over to someone else before she had a chance to see it succeed and move her own career forward. It wasn't until she began making videos on her own time that EG realized the demand for what she created, and hired others to improve the production value, and eventually moved them to the company headquarters in San Francisco, California. However, after moving to Phoenix Arizona to share a house with Geoff and his teammates, she realized that EG only wanted her to be the team/facilities manager rather than help create media. I was very well trained on camera and in communication.so I just followed the team around and made a montage video." After she continued to do interviews and pointed out to EG that fans didn't just want to see these people play, but were also interested in learning about them, Anna was hired. "I got really into eSports, started going to events with Geoff and his team. Geoff (also known as InControl, with a short-lived guest role on DCA) was a semi-professional StarCraft: Brood War (and eventually StarCraft 2) player, and while Anna didn't feel she was good enough to enter competitions, she wanted to contribute in her own way. Anna met her future late husband Geoff Robinson in college, before graduating magna cum laude with dual degrees in International Studies and Speech Communication, with a minor in Spanish.
Anna considers herself a "lifetime gamer" and advocates gaming as "a way to connect with other people" over a common passion. Her character in DCA is Evelyn Marthain, a human paladin.īorn in Portland, Oregon, Anna's father was a computer enthusiast and exposed the family to video games early on (her grandmother still plays on consoles to this day). Anna Christine Prosser (born February 15, 1985) is an eSports media personality, managing producer at Twitch, and co-founder of Misscliks.
