My table top character is a Gith so when the game came out I was like WOW! I made a Gith (my table tops mom) and Lae'zel has just impressed me every step of the way. I knew i would love her but not this much. She speaks the truth, damn everyone else, she just cuts to the point but is so passionate. I love her so much.
While Jen has the cutest voice ever - Amelia’s sultry voice should probably be illegal if listening while operating heavy equipment or driving! An absolutely incredibly talented cast
Isn’t there a patch 5 reunion dialogue that’s a reference to the fact that Jennifer English can’t say “little”? I think shadowheart says a tongue twister
Hers and Gales were my favorites. Lae'zel because its as natural as an alien language can be, and Gales because his lines doesn't sound like acting at all. No overexaggerates accents, no weirdness, just straight up how people talk. Which I think is one of the hardest things to do.
Is it just me or does anyone else think they intentionally made Lae'zel look like a Githyanki version of Devora? To me it's uncanny and I can't unsee it every time I see Devora.
I think it's more that the VAs also do the motion capture (like in 2:02 for example) so the character design naturally works around the body/bone structure that's already there How obvious it is varies but you can usually see the VA in their characters in games like this
They brought so much to these characters! After seeing the voice actors I am even more attached to the characters because they ARE them. Which is why it was seriously tragic when ***SPOILER*** On honour mode I just had Lae'zel turn on me because I left the room in the Creche with Vlaakith and the Inquisitor without doing anything. I had her walk out of the room and she immediately turned red and hostile. Had to kill her to get all the gear back 😭 This is a Dark Urge run too, so I told myself I would not get emotionally invested. That hit me hard though.
There's a part in act 1 in the Grove where lae'Zels voice is more Dev. Its when she says your heart will be the death of us after stopping the tiefling killing sazza in the grove, sounds bizarre 😂
When I hear some sounds from lae'zel, I'm gonna think now that she is being like "this is stupid, I hate it", and honestly, that is very in-character as well.
i honestly dont see a problem with how she says 'little' if it was never brought up i would've never assumed it was something she was self concious about
I can't help but imagine Dev and Jen in the studio doing the voices for the companion getting thrown/falling. Dev is like 😠 meanwhile Jen is having the time of her life imagining falling
I may be alone on this but I find the Lae'zel character inadvertently hilarious. All the characters are really good, but she's probably my favorite and I kept her as a regular throughout my play through. In the beginning she's a bit choncy, but I gave her a Githyanki pass, being that she's from a completely different culture and all, but she becomes seriously cool pun intended.
Maybe it's just me, but I'm seeing so much more of Devora in Lae'zel character/facial model than I do with Jennifer/Shadowheart. Which is kinda weird considering Lae'zel isn't even a human character. :D
I'm with Lae'zel on that one... I think it sounds silly as well. Especially when the characters climb up a ledge or a latter. You would think they were f__king or something. Does climbing up a latter need to be that mellow dramatic? It's not the actors fault... I'm sure that's what they were required to do, but in the future they really should tone down the grunting over relatively trivial tasks. If someone gets nailed with a fireball blast or something, then by all means, but to have all 4 characters in succession crown one out everytime they go up a latter/ledge is redic.
I know I’m in the right comment section when two people date and no one is yelling about a power imbalance. I’m so used to it now that when I read “her director” I immediately expected horrid presumptuous comments about it.
She actually met her gf cause both of them worked on BG3 lol. Her GF is a mocap director and had also auditioned for the role of Shadowheart but didnt get it.

Devora Wilde hating the emotes in voice acting is such a Laezel move
theyre like the cats of voiceover sessions
"Shadowhearts happy and shes thinking about lunch!" lmao i think maybe Jen was thinking about lunch
I seriously busted out laughing when she said that.
it was very cute@@gamergeek7482
@@belfire777 it sure was. :)
well that's all that's gonna be in my head when I run around with shadowheart in the party...
Now Im even more in love with Shadowheart, knowing her voice actress is so sweet and bubbly.
Lae’Zels voice acting is flawless, she alone makes the game so much more immersive
couldnt agree more. she's not lae'zel anymore, she's bae'zel
my spirit animal is when she bumps into a party member trying to get to the enemy and growls angrily MAKE WAAAAY
Happy to know others think the same, I love Bae’Zel so much I’m gonna romance her on every playthrough ❤
@@baxterwood6290Same. ❤❤❤❤

I thought the way Shadowheart says little was adorable lol. Also every single Lae'Zel line is gold.
Her eye-roll is iconic too.
“You are the source of my bruises.” Lae’zel is the only one who could say that line in a romantic way and not a ‘call 911’ way.
It was disturbing, tell you what XD@@Thepopcornator
"lithle"
Devorah Wilde being one of the worlds top experts in the Gith language is both awesome and hilarious
Now we need her to write a book in Gith language
For anyone who hasn't seen it, Amelia Tyler, the Narrator, has posted several videos of outtakes from her recording sessions. They're amazing!
i read that with Amelias voice in my head lol
"I've lost my authority!"
she will always be Malady to me
she will always be Malady to me
While Jen has the cutest voice ever - Amelia’s sultry voice should probably be illegal if listening while operating heavy equipment or driving! An absolutely incredibly talented cast
Lae'zel's little head twitches and mannerisms really sell the character for me.
It’s great that the acting team have such passion for the game!
"With a little bit of spittle, chew your vittles, then play skittles."
The githyanki do not flub istik...
Isn’t there a patch 5 reunion dialogue that’s a reference to the fact that Jennifer English can’t say “little”? I think shadowheart says a tongue twister
Yesss it's adorable
Devora started off struggling with githtalk, and ended up pretty much turning into a gith at the end.
Laezel's voice and acting was the best in the game
Hers and Gales were my favorites. Lae'zel because its as natural as an alien language can be, and Gales because his lines doesn't sound like acting at all. No overexaggerates accents, no weirdness, just straight up how people talk. Which I think is one of the hardest things to do.
Nah Astarion's
@@darkphoenix1836 I'm not gay enough to agree I guess
NOT KETHRIC THORN ? cmon thats unfair
@@_Caedwyn He's alright
Everything about this game, the cast and the devs just makes me happy.
Is it just me or does anyone else think they intentionally made Lae'zel look like a Githyanki version of Devora? To me it's uncanny and I can't unsee it every time I see Devora.
I think all the characters are at least roughly based on the actors' likenesses
I think it's more that the VAs also do the motion capture (like in 2:02 for example) so the character design naturally works around the body/bone structure that's already there
How obvious it is varies but you can usually see the VA in their characters in games like this
I will never be able to play this game with Shadowheart in my party without thinking that she's currently thinking about lunch...
“No, stop it your spell slots and health are fine you don’t need lunch”
They are both such queens (the actors and the characters). I am still working on the courage to reply to people with "Speak. Quickly."
They brought so much to these characters! After seeing the voice actors I am even more attached to the characters because they ARE them.
Which is why it was seriously tragic when ***SPOILER*** On honour mode I just had Lae'zel turn on me because I left the room in the Creche with Vlaakith and the Inquisitor without doing anything.

The magic of DND
I love the community finally falling in love with the spiciest space frog.
Lae'zel is sweeter than sugar compared to Vlaakith.
@@danielwesterlund1905 Spoiler! When Vlaakith just killed my party with a snap of a finger, I burst out laughing. Wonderfu (developer) power move. 😀
There's a part in act 1 in the Grove where lae'Zels voice is more Dev. Its when she says your heart will be the death of us after stopping the tiefling killing sazza in the grove, sounds bizarre 😂
I love seeing these tidbits of what went on behind the scenes. They make me love the game that much more.
Thank you, Ladies, for sharing.
When the VAs are just perfect for their characters and make you love them even more...
Sweet gods, imagine if Shadowheart had Jennifer English's personality along with her voice
well she had before Viconia kidnapped her
Shadowheart as she is is one of the nicest companions.
Funny she didn't like the emotes even though she absolutely nailed them.
When I hear some sounds from lae'zel, I'm gonna think now that she is being like "this is stupid, I hate it", and honestly, that is very in-character as well.
I love them both
Lae'zel steals the show for me when every time she speaks
i honestly dont see a problem with how she says 'little'
if it was never brought up i would've never assumed it was something she was self concious about
It’s so fun to hear their character voices within their real voices
The Jen/Shart says 'little' sounds like how we in the West Country say it. I find it adorable and familiar.
I can't help but imagine Dev and Jen in the studio doing the voices for the companion getting thrown/falling. Dev is like 😠 meanwhile Jen is having the time of her life imagining falling
oh, the VA's faces are actuallyin the game whaaat. I mean their likeness
omg they are so perfect
Okay Devora, we need you to sound like Lae'zel is happy and thinking about lunch, while running. And go...
A sticker that says "Happy and thinking about lunch"
Shadowheart had such a beatuiful, unique and expressful voice
My favourite voice lines are when all your party simultaneously let's out a sigh after a short/long rest lol. It's just so funny to me idk why.
Jennifer is like a golden retriever lmao
Wik wik
I have the same problem with RP! I get like a lateral lisp when I try to make that sound!
The smash cut to the cat took me out
Now Lae’Zel is my favorite character 😳
I may be alone on this but I find the Lae'zel character inadvertently hilarious. All the characters are really good, but she's probably my favorite and I kept her as a regular throughout my play through. In the beginning she's a bit choncy, but I gave her a Githyanki pass, being that she's from a completely different culture and all, but she becomes seriously cool pun intended.
Not me adoring the way the she says "little". I never skip her lines.
Maybe it's just me, but I'm seeing so much more of Devora in Lae'zel character/facial model than I do with Jennifer/Shadowheart. Which is kinda weird considering Lae'zel isn't even a human character. :D
They would hate me voice acting flr running 😂 its just huffing and puffing heavy breathing
1:35 and 1:41 did she use makeup to make her nose more similar to Lae'zel's in that clip? Her nose looks completely different
it was a filter, the clip is a video from her tiktok
Shadowheart simp 4ever
bae'zel best girl
who's the voice actor behind the MerMer cat Myshka?
I'm with Lae'zel on that one... I think it sounds silly as well. Especially when the characters climb up a ledge or a latter. You would think they were f__king or something. Does climbing up a latter need to be that mellow dramatic?

wow, girl that voice Shadowheart is suprisingly beautiful :)
Great, for some reason I suddenly crave a cola flavored jellies
In film these are called efforts. Grunts, I recall, are universally disliked.
This explains why they look like they are running in place
I am fury. I am death.
HISSSS! I say HH-HISSSSS!
Do you Guys See The Similarities between The actors and The Charakters they played
Jennifer is so pretty
Lost soul Jennifer 😢
Huh?
Mama Mia gith VA is pretty
😂😂😂
ShadowHeart is Wife material. 😅
I think Shadow's word little, is so heart felt cute. It makes Shadow reachable. I feel I can actually feel comfortable with her.
❤️🩹🗡️🗡️
🩸
CHK
The pick me energy is strong with this one
Malcom :( don’t talk about yourself like that
Kotaku is still around?
Who?
The website? Very much so.
chk
Huh, the voice actress for Shadowheart has a girlfriend? You learn something unexpected every day.
They met while working on this game. Aliona was her director.
@@TheBlarggleThat is adorable!
And I believe Karlach's va uses She/They pronouns!
I know I’m in the right comment section when two people date and no one is yelling about a power imbalance. I’m so used to it now that when I read “her director” I immediately expected horrid presumptuous comments about it.
Shadowheart’s gay irl huh good 2 know
She actually met her gf cause both of them worked on BG3 lol. Her GF is a mocap director and had also auditioned for the role of Shadowheart but didnt get it.
No she is not, Shadowheart isn't real. Her actor is gay yes that has nothing to do with the character.
Bet Jens Girlfriend doesn't mind her weird tongue.... okay, sorry. I see myself out.
That’s a weird thing to say about someone.
That's.... that's not-
You don't talk to your mates like that I hope 🤔
yeah please do show yourself out, wtf was that
Devora Wilde is stunning, and straight, and single. Every mans dream.
She is married and has a kid dude.
What the other guy said
Shouldn't Kotaku have declared bankruptcy by now? I wish they would.
I wish you would realise that Gamergate was seven years ago and that this one-sided beef is beyond tired at this point.
Keep dreaming losers

Honestly... i got pissed discovering Shadowheart voice actress was lesbian.........
Why lmao you wouldn't have a chance if she was straight either
Why? She was never going to know you exist anyway. Don’t be weird about it.
Why? Her sexuality has nothing to do with Shadowheart, she still likes both dudes and gals.
Wtf... Why?
You're the kind of person who tells someone not to make their sexuality their personality but then say shit like this. Sit down weirdo.
Lae'zel voice acting was phenomenal
When you realize that the people behind these great Characters are just LA-Girls after all xD Ugh
... sure weirdo
@@Einomar Good point.
Jennifer English is ... English???
The funniest part about this comment is that neither of them are American 😭 yall just say any shit
shadowhearts voice actress is like " I"M A LEXBIAN GUYS LMAO"!!!
she mentioned she has a girlfriend a grand total of once.
Because she mentioned it…once? Don’t be weird.
