Among her animated series voice acting roles are Malani the Ewok in the animated television program *Star Wars: Ewoks*, and Lydia Deetz (originally played by Winona Ryder) in the animated adaptation of the 1988 film *Beetlejuice*. She voiced Terri Cloth on *The Garbage Pail Kids* animated series of 1987–1988.

In video games, she provided the voice of Claire Redfield in *Resident Evil 2,* *Resident Evil – Code: Veronica*, *Resident Evil: Degeneration*, *Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles*, and *Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City*. Court did not reprise her role as Claire in *Resident Evil: Revelations 2* or the 2019 remake of *Resident Evil 2*, as the third-party localization team overseeing voice acting and motion capture chose to go with non-union voice actors. In addition she directed the voice-over and motion-capture portions of the spin-off title *Resident Evil Outbreak*, which did not feature Claire. In addition to voice acting, Court was also involved in the localization process of several Capcom games in North America. Among the most worthy were *Mega Man X5* in 2001, in which she was directly responsible for the decision to rename the initial eight Maverick bosses to reference Guns N' Roses members, meant as a tribute for her then husband's love for the band. In 1998, Court reprised her role as Jubilee in *Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes*. Court also provided the voice of Arkayna Goodfey / Mysticon Dragon Mage in the Nickelodeon/YTV series *Mysticons*.
