Early life Marisha Ray Huber was born in Mount Washington, Kentucky, the daughter of a mother who works as a dog groomer and a father who sells truck tires. She hails from an extended family of Louisville farmers, having helped her grandfather with chores around his tobacco farm as she was growing up from when she was around six years old. At the age of 12, she began acting at the Actors Theater of Louisville. In 2008, at the age of 19, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in entertainment. Her parents supported the decision and drove her there. She arrived around the time of the Writers Guild strike and so, having difficulty in finding auditions, she began canvassing for the 2008 presidential election to support herself financially.

In 2015, she began co-starring in the web series Critical Role, on which she joins fellow voice actors in playing Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition. Her character for the first campaign was Keyleth, a half-elf druid. Her character for the second campaign was Beauregard, a human monk. In the third campaign, she plays as the multiclassed warlock/sorcerer Laudna.
