In the same year, she voiced Blood Leopard in Accel World, who was similar to Kyoko's stoic disposition. Video game reviewers thought the voice acting was okay. She described Kyoko as the most calm among the wacky characters and always on top of things. In 2014, Harlacher voiced Kyoko Kirigiri in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. Ayesha seems about as upset over her missing sister as I might be over a glass of spilled milk, making it really hard to care about the outcome of her quest.' She also voiced Sadira, a spider-themed woman and new character to the Killer Instinct series. Vince Ingenito of IGN wrote that 'both the writing and voice acting fail to lend any weight to her plight. Video game reviewer Sean Madson of Diehardgamefan found the dub to be of decent quality, but said Ayesha 'sounded a bit too obnoxious with her airheadedness.' Matt Sainsbury of Digitally Downloaded thought the dub was reasonable but disliked their American accents as not suiting the Japanese personality of the game. She described Ayesha as a bit airheaded and ditsy but relatable and resembles her personality at times. She later dropped it as she was encouraged by Oliver to pursue acting and to finish school, eventually landing the lead role as Ayesha in the video game Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dusk.

At one point in college, she had some health issues that led her to take an absence from school and acting, so she pursued production work, which her parents thought would make for a more practical career. However, video game reviewers panned the game because none of the movie's actors reprised their roles in the game, and faulted the game's limited acting, which was relegated to mostly radio chatter and mission updates.

Her first big voice-over role was for the Battleship video game, based on the 2012 movie of the same name, where she got to voice the main character, Grace Harland, among many veteran voice actors. Her first voice acting project was on K-On!, where she voiced Keiko Ida, among some other incidental characters. She also did a production internship at Bang Zoom! Entertainment where she got to sit in on some of the recording sessions. On Oliver's suggestion that she was pretty good at it, she changed her major to theatre, and continued to take voice acting lessons and workshops while studying at school. During her freshman year, she looked up some online forums regarding voice-over and attended Anime Expo, where she learned about and attended an Adventures in Voice Acting workshop conducted by Tony Oliver. Īfter graduating high school in 2008, she attended California State Polytechnic University, Pomona where she intended to major in graphic design. She also competed on the school's diving team.

At La Reina High School, she was active in the Speech and Mock Trial team, which was noted statewide and even attended a national event. Her first exposure to anime was through Dragon Ball Z and Pokémon, which she considered more like cartoons, and that she really got into manga and anime in school when Fruits Basket was being published in English. Erika's mother responded that it was not a real job, and suggested Erika pursue acting only as a hobby. When she was around 9–10 years old, she was inspired by an interview by Christy Carlson Romano, who voiced the title character from Kim Possible, in which Romano said that with voice acting, you could go to work in your pajamas. Harlacher grew up in Camarillo, California, and started acting in school plays.
