The brainy idol of all '90s misfits was voiced by Tracy Grandstaff. After the show, Grandstaff worked at Comedy Central for almost a decade, and is now creative director and vice president of original production and marketing at NBC.

Grandstaff became the voice of Daria during the first season of Beavis and Butthead, when the show had a small budget and its writers were thrown into the booth to do voices.

Grandstaff said that Daria's voice came from "a little Janeane Garofalo, I have to give her credit; it was sort of a poor man's Janeane Garofalo that MTV couldn't afford at the time, and Sarah Gilbert from Roseanne, and then definitely my own experience."
