I like how voice actors became more visible individuals, first TF2's, and then ULTRAKILL gets to have Gabriel's actual voice actor handle the voice for memes of all things
I met Ellen while dressed as Mrs Pauling and she asked me if we could get a picture and told me "I was the skinny old bitch," and the picture is of me dying of laughter while she's doing a perfect side eye. It was a moment that I will never forget
@AnonymousX idk, I feel like forcing people to stick strictly to already made scripts and concepts is how movies and games feel bland and lacking a certain charm. For example, in my opinion, one of the biggest reasons for the star wars prequels doing so poorly is because of George Lucas forcing everyone to do it his way and not allowing any kind of improv, or different ways to act out a scene.
@masonbruner1239 The problem with Valve currently, or at least not so long ago, is that writers and developers not only have freedom on a specific project, but can work on whatever they want, so bigger projects stop once it turns hard
@@anonymousx6651 Keep in mind that since Half-Life 2, Valve makes their money from Steam, not games. As such every game they make is an intense passion project from every employee involved. I think most people would agree they would rather just see TF2 become "open source" if you will, with community developers making content that could be officially endorsed, than to have developers who aren't passionate about the project and do a lackluster job.
Can’t help but feel Valve did the TF2 gang dirty. They’re all so passionate and love the community so much. TF2 deserves a major update and it’s long overdue. Also RIP Rick May he would’ve loved this.
They are getting an update sized update later this year. It was announced in February. And the majority of the voice actors were at Pax East this year.
I love her, I remember when my friends and I saw her at MAGFest, she was so happy to see we had an administrator cosplayer that her eyes watered up. When I went to PAX this year she remembered my friends and me too!! She is such a sweetheart.
@@bboops23 gee golly, I think you’d remember me if you were there. I was the Medic with the big sign that said “Mercs On Strike”. My friend Andrew wasn’t in cosplay but he was our Union Rep.
Ellen is so iconic, whether it be GLaDOS’s dry wit, the announcer’s evil nature or the dread of hearing “ongoing sector sweep, biotics, confirmed.” In the quiet white forest
i'll never forget meeting ellen, she was such a wonder to talk to, i briefly talked her ear off about portal at PAX west, waited over half an hour before the meet just to be upfrount, was not expecting to talk to her face to face! i balled my eyes out as she sang still alive with the crowd, truley one of the dearest women
Last I heard Makani was just a freelancer whose fanart of the Admin was bought by Valve and hired as a freelancer to draw the TF2 comics. Good to know she’s an official employee still there.
I had the pleasure of meeting Ellen earlier this year and she was the absolute sweetest lady. I was cosplaying Miss Pauling and one of my friends was the Administrator. We actually had a full group TF2 cosplay and she and her husband took pictures with us. But my favorite moment was her letting me know that she was the Skinny Old B!tch, then we pointed out our Administrator and she was ecstatic to be remembered.
I’ll be honest, I got into TF2 late. I didn’t know she was the announcer, which is a shame because I love Ellen (mainly because of GLaDOS, the turrets, and such)
Nintendo : either you get rid of it or we get rid of you Valve : 100$ and you can sale fan game from our franchise using our asset running on our engine on our platform
Honestly, all the tf2 VAs are amazing people and I love it. They go around, have fun, do the voices for silly little skits, and enjoy engaging with the community. And its nice to see they care about the other people involved in the game
hey shork I saw you at pax but at the time I didn’t realize it was you so I didn’t say hi The line to get my shirt signed by sniper so I could draw a cuisinart toaster was so goddamn long lol
I absolutely love how valve treats it's fanbase. Whenever they see someone in the community doing something impressive with their games, they usually hire them or at the very least celebrate it.
I met this wonderful lady at a con in Sweden many years ago, I was just a random dude and a cosplayer but we had a wonderful conversation until she had to go cuz of employees escorting her away. Such a great soul.
2007 seems like it was just yesterday. Thank you Valve and all the cast of TF2 for the phenomenal memories and lifelong friends I've made over this incredible 16 year journey
I just want to say thank you to all of the voice actors because during the bot problem I didn’t play at all, but the videos of actors having fun and acting as their characters made me keep loving tf2, thank you for caring
It's always sweet when you see famous folks get excited and want to meet the people they're fans of themselves. Reminds you that we're all human, nobody is some mystical figure.
TF2 is so fun. Weather its hanging with your friends, going on killstreaks, trying to get achievements, trading, or just messing around with your friends its truly one of the only timeless games I can think of.

The best part of The Administrator is that if you just see her images you can imagin her voice perfectly maching mrs Ellen
ellen and heather are some of my favorite people that worked on tf2.
Ellen is such an icon she's my favorite voice actor and her interactions with her husband are so sweet :)
I am genuinely shocked that the person behind the administrator looks this friendly.

i think that kinda inspiration and fancreation linking together from a performance is a beautiful thing
Weird, i've run into you on TH-cam a couple times now.
Ellen McLain will always be Glad0s to me
I swear, old people’s experience with speaking makes the ways they say things so perfectly perfect.

Who doesn't love Ellen McLain!
Dude making artwork from just a voice, that’s fucking awesome!
I really want this voice actor to say I dropped my beans in the booth uh but mission begins in 10 seconds
Ellen is the best va we had for female character. With a great humor at that. Example, glados.
Imagine being an artist for valve and THE Ellen McLain wants to meet you.
who would have known that a man fascinated with piss jars would be interviewing and playing with the tf2 cast
"the skinny old b#tch" really got me
Also The Original Video Is Beatiful
She wants to... meet the artist... how on brand lmaoo.
I love Ellen McLain
I’ll be honest, I got into TF2 late. I didn’t know she was the announcer, which is a shame because I love Ellen (mainly because of GLaDOS, the turrets, and such)
For some reason, hearing "skinny old bitch" from a lady who sounds like such a sweet grandma, just gets me everytime!!😂😂😂
Honestly it's so cool to see the voice actors of this game!! 😃
God, the Tf2 voice actors are such legends
These people are the pilars of the community
One of the most iconic female voices to date loved my first time in tf2 hearing the lines being immersed into the game
God the tf2 va’s truly are gods
This sweet old lady has neen an icon for so many, we must protect this bean at all costs
She is also GLaDOS
Ellen McLain was my childhood. Portal was my favorite game and of course she was the main voice actress in that game.

The fact that some artwork could inspire her to voice the administartor is amazing
If there’s anything shork can do, it’s arrange that meeting
It's some much a pleasure to see TF2 getting that much recognition for the incredable work we enjoy over the years.
She is a gem.
This woman’s voice commands so much power. It surprises me how she looks so kind but she can sound like the administrator
She did so many valve voices that its crazy how many I could recognize just from this bit
i don't really play the game much anymore, but the voice actors and the comics will forever hold a special place in my heart
Ellen: i want to meet her
Her is in the team
So Ellen wants to Meet the Team
So cool that they've never once played the game until recently, yet they perfectly understand the vibe and feel of the game and its characters.
I'm honestly so glad the administrators va is as sweet as I thought she'd be
She's so soft-spoken, I couldn't imagine that the old raspy administrator's voice actor would be her 😭💞
