This makes me so happy I am giggling along with them! It's like Lara talking to herself! Jonell's laugh reminds me so much of the Lara interview outtakes, and Shelly's "No" is so iconic ♥️
Watched this a few times now. Some stream highlights: - @22:41 Shelley singing - @33:40 Jonell saying "you unsavoury little runt" - @41:52 no ... (@55:14 also Lara's no...) - @44:33 Jonell could work with thatnorskchick maybe - @58:04 is Kurtis Trent a boyf? - @1:04:44 Jonell singing
I can’t believe how much Shelley’s voice has changed. Must be all that red wine and 7-Up 😆 Jonell still sounds exactly the same. Quite surreal to hear the voice with the actual face it belongs to 😂 very warming to watch.
this friendly chat brings a warm, homely feeling. To think that there are such down to earth persons behind the huge pop phenomenon that were the original TR games just warms your heart. You don't get that with Hollywood. You don't get that any more.
You girls are friendship goals!!!😂😂 Every time Shelley says no, it sounds exactly like from the game😭😭 I love the both of you and thank you for being there for us fans!!!❤️❤️
This interview in its entirety is so wonderful. Ash continues to provide the TR fandom with some of the BEST content EVAH!! Also I’m so down to see Jonell on I’m a Celeb 😂😂😂 This whole interview is so perfect I can’t even 🥺🥺
Emily who Shelley said hello to is my baby girl. We did drive for 7 hours, Shelley remembered!! Emily thinks Shelley is the greatest person on planet earth! 😭 Thank you so much for sharing this, it was wonderful! I thoroughly loved the whole chat!! Great job!! Subscribing! Keep up the great work! ❤️❤️
Loved Shonell! This was really great to watch! Loved Jonell confirming Lara got some action with Kurtis and Shelley singing! I'm expecting a duet of simply the breast to be recorded at some point. Fantastic job Ash!
What a fantastic video 💕 You know this is the very first time that I've heard Lara's voices in the original version. Here, in France 🇫🇷, we were very lucky to have the same voice for 18 years, from the very first Tomb Raider, to the Tomb Raider and the temple of Orisis. An absolutely sublime voice that has marked my life. I therefore fully understand your emotion at this extraordinary meeting. Thank you.
I did not know this! I played Russian version and we had a variety of actresses (depending which studio decides to port). Think recently they did a republish with one actress. But i always prefered the English dub
thank You so much Ash for making this happen, You're so awesome!!! the fact that the Lara statue you've got is a gift from actual Peter fuckin Connelly blows my mind! you deserve it so much. and that we got to hear Lara sing, fantastic! omg they have both been so amazing 🏆
Hey thanks for this! It was very cool to see the perspectives from some of the older Lara voices. You can really hear the Lara voice in Jonell, its awesome!
OMG their voices are music to my ears!! I missed true British accent for Lara. :( And i do agree they still sound the same as they did back then! Please could you also arrange an interview with Mrs Gibbins Ash? I LOVE all the actresses of classic Lara but she will always be my favorite! :)
I love this interview so much. Jonell and Shelley are both such lovely ladies and the energy between you three is so positive. Thank you for sharing this with us!
What an absolute delight!! This was such a pleasure to watch, and a great resource as I am going to interview Jonell for a written feature soon and the context and info here has been so helpful! 🥰🥰
@@TombofAsh when you said that Lara pulled you from the brink of suicide, I was smiling so hard my cheeks hurt and I almost cried - this video interview was *so* uplifting and enchanting, it was such a joy to listen to
This was such a lovely interview! It's clear you all had a lot of fun and it was great to hear two Laras at once, discussing TR and other things... They really need to record a song together, don't they? I wonder if Judith is a singer so she could join too :D Though of course Natalie, yeah, she definitely could! Thank you for this interview!
Ruining Lara's face and not using Shelley's voice IS A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY!!! 32:03 No! Shelley's voice is close to the original. Even after all those years. 42:03 Priceless!
This is just amazing! So cool that you were able to have both of them for this interview, with some really interesting questions. They have such lovely personalities!
Hahaha, this is an amazing hilarious interview. Shelley's energy and jonell's calm coolness and her love to NorskChick, i can't... When they did Lara Croft's "no", it sounded pretty close.
Ash - I simply loved this. What an absolute honour for you to speak with these two wonderful and genuine ladies. TR has been a massive part of my life too- I had TR 1 bight for me way back in 1996 for my 8th birthday and was hooked! Every Xmas I’d get the new game, TR 2 and TR 3 etc. I would to love be able to talk with Shelley and Jonell like you have. It would be fantastic to get Judith’s side of the tale of Lara too. Thank you so much for this wonderful interview. Much love ❤️ 🏳️🌈 xx
Best interview ever I've always wanted to speak to these face to face and Judith but id be to star struck lol playing chronicals listening to this I complete all the tomb raiders every yeah been playing since 96
Tomb Raider 4: Last Revelation was also my first game & it is still my favorite this day. Some of the later levels were frustrating, but that game will always hold a special place in my heart. I remember playing a Sega Dreamcast Demo which prompted me to get the full game. It is the reason why I was so into Egypt as a kid. The Mummy film also came out around that time.
I played it on my PS1 soon after release but never finished it withou tcheat code. I stuck every time on The Lost City (or City Of The Death, I don'tremember).
I'm SHOCKED about these facts: 1. Why I hadn't watch this before? 2. Jonell sounds EXACTLY AS LARA (which is incredible, you'd imagine she'd module her voice like Shelley did back in her days). 3. I love how they are surprised about Lara's impact in gaming culture, and culture itself. I've always considered Lara a real icon, not from a videogame, nor a female icon, just an ICON. Lara Croft is a presence that inspires power, overcoming of though times, always pushing to do more, to get further, and as you guys mention, she has everything in the world but she doesn't want it (it really is what the original Lara made me think of herself). To close this up, and keep on watching this lovely interview, Lara Croft will FOREVER hold a special place in my heart, as she inspired me to be better, to strive in languages, to try my best at what I do and always try to learn more and more about the world. Those are the core values she gave me growing up, and I'm really thankful to still have her around, coming back and still kicking strong. Jonell's trilogy will be back again on Lara's next birthday, I can hardly wait! Thank you for this interview, Ash!
Loved this interview. Thank you so much for this one. Shelley, Jonell, thank you so much for being you. You really seem to be adorable persons, please don’t ever change. We love you. ❤️
Shelley and Jonell are my favourite Lara voices as well. Shelley's face even resembles Lara. The day you put up this interview is Lara's birthday February 14, according to her original timeline.
Lara Croft definitely played a major role in my self-discovery journey and connecting with my femininity as a trans girl, so that story about the trans woman who came to terms with her identity thanks to tomb raider really hits close to home. I love these women!!!! they are so fun and charming and their energy is just AMAZING ♥
Ash, can you imagine that for the 25th anniversary, the developers would create a special Croft Manor level (stand-alone game), where you would unlock the iconic costumes of the characters and find the voices of all the dabers. You could go on a mission with the voice of Camilla, then again with the voice of Judith, Keeley, Shelley, Jonell. It would have the visual of a classic mansion, you would pull the lever down in the pool and the mansion would change to a version from Tomb Raider 2, you would walk to the attic, press the switch and you would have a Tomb Raider 3 mansion. I really wish Tomb Raider game where I could choose to dub, Shelley or Camilla or... It would just be up to us what Lara's voice we want to hear when we playing.
Sony was on a roll during the PS1 and PS2 days, not only helping kickstart a trend of adult(ish) games, but also being open to making deals with creative companies and developers. And with PS3 they started a new trend of interactive hollywood movies with the only gameplay being cover based shooting with regenerative health, and some simply babby puzzles. Goddammit Sony :(
I do wonder if they changed anything after Shelley did her voice over session- she has similar eyes and lips to TR1 Lara. Plus there's Lara's playful side that gets expanded upon in the sequels and promotional materials- I do wonder if they built upon Shelley's personality slightly
@@TombofAsh You are one lucky SOB. I would give almost anything to talk to anyone of them...by the way, did my video help at all with getting help for TRAE?
33:55 Lara Croft was far from first female protagonist in games, Tomb Raider released 10 years after Athena and Metroid, and there were women in arcade games before that.
She was the first successful female video game character Tomb Raider is currently the only female lead video game franchise to reach 100 million units This is why most people consider Lara Croft the “OG” as Metroid was a massive flop of a series and video game industry didn’t believe they could lead games due to Samus Aran Tomb Raider took a MASSIVE risk in 1996 as even games like resident evil were on record to not wanting Jill to lead due to the risk Tomb Raider opened the door for more female lead video games where Metroid failed to do so

Jonell's voice is so engraved in my mind! I absolutely loved AoD!
My 2 fav Laras!
It’s wild how close Jonell’s Lara is to her own voice
This makes me so happy I am giggling along with them! It's like Lara talking to herself! Jonell's laugh reminds me so much of the Lara interview outtakes, and Shelly's "No" is so iconic ♥️
They're so friendly! This is so good to watch.
Made my whole life, thanks. I've ascended to the next plane of existence, rip.
my soul just departed to Valhalla!
oh my god norskchick I remember you when I was on tomb Raider forums like 10 years ago. It’s cool to see you still exist
I love them SO much!!! 😭💖
42:03 "No" - Hahahhahaha, LOVE IT! The most iconic NO I've ever heard 😍🥰🤩😊❤
Watched this a few times now. Some stream highlights:
- @22:41 Shelley singing
- @33:40 Jonell saying "you unsavoury little runt"
- @41:52 no ... (@55:14 also Lara's no...)
- @44:33 Jonell could work with thatnorskchick maybe
- @58:04 is Kurtis Trent a boyf?
- @1:04:44 Jonell singing
This was fantastic work mate! Congrats on getting the opportunity to talk to such wonderful people and thank you for sharing this with us ^_^
next we should do a joint one but with one of us playing the games too, since they never played / seen them
I can’t believe how much Shelley’s voice has changed. Must be all that red wine and 7-Up 😆 Jonell still sounds exactly the same. Quite surreal to hear the voice with the actual face it belongs to 😂 very warming to watch.
She does sound more mature but I also think her Lara voice wasn't exactly her natural voice.
@@SvobodovaEva you’re probably right. Either way, I’d love for them to bring her back with her more mature sound.
She said in another interview that she was putting on a voice when playing Lara.
42:03 TR1 Lara and TR4 Lara both saying No! at the same time. Epic
this friendly chat brings a warm, homely feeling. To think that there are such down to earth persons behind the huge pop phenomenon that were the original TR games just warms your heart. You don't get that with Hollywood. You don't get that any more.
It was like a morning talk-show! I loved it so much!
It makes me feel so happy to hear AOD Lara laughing so much. She has been through so much, and I'm happy she sounds happy. Is that weird? 😂
Same 😂
Me too! Don't know if that makes it any less weird haha
I first played Tomb Raider in 1997 when I was 10 and now I'm 34. This is amazing to see :)
That’s crazy Me too ! Tomb raider was my first PS1 game in 1997
Same! Was 10 and almost 34 😅
Hearing Jonell speak gives me a lot of nostalgic feelings!!!
Jonell AND Shelly together. OMG, that's an eargasm. I think I just . . . well, I shouldn't type that here.
57:52 Shelley's reaction just killed me! Also Jonell saying it was her first love interest. She knows what's up. Love them both so much!
Straight up!
You girls are friendship goals!!!😂😂 Every time Shelley says no, it sounds exactly like from the game😭😭 I love the both of you and thank you for being there for us fans!!!❤️❤️
This interview in its entirety is so wonderful. Ash continues to provide the TR fandom with some of the BEST content EVAH!! Also I’m so down to see Jonell on I’m a Celeb 😂😂😂 This whole interview is so perfect I can’t even 🥺🥺
Aya winters will be starting a petition soon

Shelley and Jonell are just such a funny duo and I love them so much.
41:52
(Excellent work btw Ash, so so so great hearing these two legends together, an entertaining and highly memorable listen)
thank You so much Ash for making this happen, You're so awesome!!! the fact that the Lara statue you've got is a gift from actual Peter fuckin Connelly blows my mind! you deserve it so much. and that we got to hear Lara sing, fantastic! omg they have both been so amazing 🏆
It's surreal to watch and hear them bounce off each other for 70 mins! 😭😭❤️❤️❤️
This was the best ever, thank youuuuuuuu
Hey thanks for this! It was very cool to see the perspectives from some of the older Lara voices. You can really hear the Lara voice in Jonell, its awesome!
Great Interview, thanks Ash!
What a fun and happy interview. Loved it!
So much fun❤️ such a great interview. Thank you for making it happen ❤️🥺😍🎁🍰🎂🎉🎈
Epic.. Many underrated videos on this channel. I am glad that the members of Core Design are so kind and nice.
OMG their voices are music to my ears!! I missed true British accent for Lara. :( And i do agree they still sound the same as they did back then!
Please could you also arrange an interview with Mrs Gibbins Ash? I LOVE all the actresses of classic Lara but she will always be my favorite! :)
Mrs Gibbins is my religion
@@SvobodovaEva
Miss Judith Gibbins is also my favourite Lara Croft of all time... , I’m not sure if Ash can get a hold of her 🤔
Omg thank you Ash, Shelley and Jonell for this wonderful get together 🥰 and happy birthday to Lara! it was lovely to see
Thanks you much for this Ash. This was fabulous
I love these casual and conversational interviews. This is brilliant. Great job!

This made my day! so many feels ❤️My dream is to see all Lara voices reunion
This is SPECTACULAR 😭😭😭 God Ash hearing your story was so emotional your so lovely mate 💗
Great inteview. I love original Tomb Raider games (especially 3 because it was my first) by Core Design and the voice of Lara as well. Good times.
This really was an absolute joy to watch, many thanks Ash for bringing us all this interview, such beautiful people.
Also ash! What is this unseen cut scene about Lara being resurrected???? 😲😲😲 I didn't know! What?!?!!!!

Thank you ash I like this video ❤ I'm love tomb raider games
I love this year, thank you :-)
It only began!
omg i love City of Lost Children, didn't know Jonell was the voice of the kid
Wow her voice i just hear Lara🤩
I don't know if this could happen but I would LOVE it if Shelley and Jonell got to play roles in the Tomb Raider Netflix series
YES!
OMG! I am fangirling at my highest peek right now!
Awesome interview!
Thank you!
The best Lara's voices ♥

Watched this about a million times lol
My fav Lara's voices are 1,2,3 eras and 4-aod era
Jonell is the epitome of Lara croft, Square enix must hired her,we need the old Lara back
How did you manage to get contact with these two ? This interview is so cool 😭😭
I love this game so much. I’d say AOD and Legend are the best. I haven’t played anything previous to AOD fully thru at least.

Jonell Elliott: Hello, darling!

Shelly Blonde: Jon, Jon!
At 0:10,
Jonell Elliott: Hi, sweetheart!
And, at 0:11,
Shelly Blonde: HI!!!!!
42:03 LARA'S "NO"
Forget Angelina! These ladies are the real Lara Croft 👑💕💕
this is such a fan service.
I think we should all chip in any buy them both a PS2 and all the games so they can play finally play them.
42:03 No!
Shelley’s was spot on! Sounds exactly like the game! Jonell’s was a little lower than the game.
The first and the last of the original Lara.
I do wonder if they changed anything after Shelley did her voice over session- she has similar eyes and lips to TR1 Lara. Plus there's Lara's playful side that gets expanded upon in the sequels and promotional materials- I do wonder if they built upon Shelley's personality slightly
Dude, how did you manage to get this?! I've always wanted to meet them
That was entirely Shelley's idea and execution 😂
@@TombofAsh You are one lucky SOB. I would give almost anything to talk to anyone of them...by the way, did my video help at all with getting help for TRAE?
@@ContraWolf I am! Just not with loto 🤣 and yes! We got one extra programmer so that's a good help!
CAN YOU INTERVIEW KEELEY HAWES?!???
is original Lara modeled off of Shelley's likeness?
Where’s Judith gibbins ?!
42:03 Double Lara's No 😂😂😂
33:55 Lara Croft was far from first female protagonist in games, Tomb Raider released 10 years after Athena and Metroid, and there were women in arcade games before that.
She was the first successful female video game character
Tomb Raider is currently the only female lead video game franchise to reach 100 million units

Tomb Raider took a MASSIVE risk in 1996 as even games like resident evil were on record to not wanting Jill to lead due to the risk
Tomb Raider opened the door for more female lead video games where Metroid failed to do so
Does Shelley have an Instagram account?
Nope, she's only on twitter :)
