American actor and voice artist who voiced the computer of the USS Shenzhou in the premiere of Star Trek: Discovery, three decades after playing the Vulcan candidate T'Shanik in The Next Generation.
Tasia Valenza is an American actor who moved from on-camera roles in the 1980s into a busy career as a voice performer in animation, video games and narration.
Her first Star Trek part was T'Shanik, the Vulcan applicant who sits the Starfleet Academy entrance tests on Relva VII alongside Wesley Crusher in the first-season Next Generation episode Coming of Age.
She returned to the franchise in 2017 as the voice of the USS Shenzhou's computer in The Vulcan Hello and Battle at the Binary Stars. Her most notable moment comes when Michael Burnham, trapped in the damaged brig, argues the computer into accepting on ethical grounds that it must let her out.
