The Gamer interview with Alix Wilton Regan by Meg Pelliccio: '“We Are Currently Massively Overexposed And Massively Underprotected," Says Dragon Age's Alix Wilton Regan'

Excerpts:

"The first big game Wilton Regan remembers acting in is Dragon Age: Origins, and looking back at how the industry was then in how it approached acting, she says that, “things are changing for the better in the video game industry in the way that we look at actors and respect their artistry.” [...] “Fans and players have always understood the value of video games [and] the value of actors in video games because video games die a death without good performance. [...] Fans and players have always understood the importance of a totally f*cking brilliant Inquisitor, a totally f*cking brilliant Astarion, a totally f*cking brilliant Indiana Jones. The fans understand that value because they understand the emotional connection to the actors. It is about educating the people at the very top that actors are therefore worth investing in from a financial point of view, not just from an emotional point of view, from a collaborative point of view.” [...] “The relationship between the developers and the actors is paramount because when I feel trusted, when I feel valued, when I feel seen and heard, that is when I feel safest to give you my best work. That is when I can give you the tears of Sam Traynor at the end of [Mass Effect 3]. That is when I can give you the blood-curdling screams of Tezi in Amnesia Rebirth, because the team, to their credit, was saying more, ‘do what you want, what do you feel?’ They weren't trying to shut me down. If you build people up, if you give them honey, not vinegar, we actors will give you gold, and we make magic.” [...] “We used to be told absolutely sweet f*ck all about the storylines. Jennifer Hale [Commander Shepard in Mass Effect] has spoken to this, which is you go in and give a cold reading every day for four hours, and you've never seen the script before. Now, if you're lucky, you will get the script 48 hours in advance to look through, to prep and learn. If you're performance capturing, you'll definitely get the script in advance because you have to be completely off book, but normally you step into the booth and you give two, three, maybe four reads because you know it has to be brilliant.” She tells me she always likes to know the overall story arc to plot things in her head, especially if it’s a big game or she’s portraying a lead character. However, in terms of how much detail she knows, sometimes that comes down to her personal choice. “With Solas, I didn't want to know that he was the Dread Wolf because that would have ruined the surprise and heartbreak for me.”"

H E L L O P R I E S T

I like to sit in the "children's horror games" fandoms and headcanon stuff about little-known characters there. I've been following the game since the first chapter, but I only got really involved in story since Chapter 3. My favourite is Leith Pierre (and my design of him), Doctor, Yarnaby and Kissy Missy.

Got here only in February but already in love with this game. All characters are fucking amazing and cool. But i think my heart especially belongs to Ferryman and Minos!

MY WORLD OF WARCRAFT SIDEBLOG <-

WoW has been my obsession for several years now, and now I'm not so interested in the new expansions, but I just love the old Warcraft before SL. Alliance? Horde? WHO NEEDS THEM WHEN THERE ARE THE FORSAKEN! I love them. And basically all the undead. Of the characters, I really love Jaina and Vanessa Vancleef. And also i'm biggest Sylvanas/Nathanos apologist. My favourite fucked up couple.

I love this crazy fandom. There is no one particular mercenary that o like, they are all cool and deserve love. Favorite ships: Bloody Suite, Boots & Bombs, and Science Party. By the way, I hate speedingbullet, please don't touch me with speedingbullet. I draw a lot SniperSpy, everything can be found under tags here on the blog!! I also used to play a lot tf2 sice summer 2023. Now I main Scout and Sniper.

I LOVE MARIA SILENT HILL TWO I LIVE FOR HER I CRY OVER HER CHARACTER and I think her character is very underrated! Otherwise, I also really love Heather (I cosplayed her!), Lisa and Walter. I'm a fan of the "classics" of all 4 silent hill games. This rusty, old, tense, frightening, depressing, meaty horror is just what I've always been missing.

MY LAMBDAGENERATION PROFILE <-

It’s worth saying briefly - I adore the entire universe of half-life and the portal. These are great games, I love everything about them. They changed me and my perception of video games a lot. My favorites of the series are Adrian Shepard and Alix. I'm a fan of HEKU in general, they're funny guys. Probably the only military characters in video games that don't make me uncomfortable.

other fandoms that i was to lazy to make banner for, or they are smaller: OUTLAST, Garten of BanBan, Gloomwood, Faith:The unholy trinity.

these banners are made by me, and yeah they are fre to use(ijust pls credit me if you do)

ME Cast Reunion

We have a date 🥳💃😍

[caeric-arclight]

[roguelioness]

RoLo’s playing Mass Effect!

You heard that right. Me, the world’s greatest person at sucking at shooting games, is playing a game where the combat involves guns.

What’s more-

I love it.

Pretty much adore the characters and the story, and I’m only very sad that I can’t romance Garrus because that turian caught my eye the first moment I saw him in the Citadel. Sigh.

Here’s Reina Alix Shepard, Earthborn War Hero:

(I love her already)

[critter-of-habit]

Another!

[felassan]

if you missed the live N7 Day 2023 cast reunion panel, the rewatch link is here.

here are some notes on trivia and other bits of particular interest from the panel, under a cut due to length –

An audition D.C. Douglas did for Legion can be listened to here. he said it's quite different to what you may expect. He also mentioned an audition for Legion where he was given a eulogy to read and the voice direction from BioWare was that they were looking for something like HAL 9000 but with a little more emotion.

D.C. said on Legion's death scene[s], "it's the innocent emotion coming through" "but with the intellectual understanding of the macro".

Alix Wilton Regan originally auditioned for EDI, didn't get it and then was called back for Sam. BioWare were like "[Sam]'s really London"; AWR was like "I'm from London, I got this, I can do London". months later she was recording for Sam, saw lines for EDI coming up and wondered "who was the woman that got the role of EDI?" when she heard EDI's voice, she was like "omg, she's so hot, yeah I totally get it, I had a real life crush on her in the booth playing Sam, who had a crush on her in the game. I was like 'ohh.. now I get it, I hear it, I see what went on in casting'".

some of the earliest stuff Mark Meer did in ME was a lot of demo stuff, like figuring out how various alien species would sound. BioWare brought him in very early on, during the concept art stages. this is what he was working on for BioWare and then they 'basically upgraded him'. He did a presentation for BioWare demoing how a typical salarian could sound, how a typical krogan would sound, etc, and during this presentation BW had him do some scratch dialogue as a salarian bartender. there was a scene where the bartender was talking to Shepard, who Mark was also voicing during the scene, so he was basically talking to himself. during this process BioWare said that they would like him to audition for the role of m Shepard. "After call backs etc, the rest is history". when BW told Mark, oh btw, f Shepard is played by Jennifer Hale, Mark was super thrilled. "It was like being told the other person in the dual role was Meryl Streep or something".

when Ali Hillis got the role of Liara, at that time she was with her first voiceover agent. Liara's voice in the games is pretty similar to the voice Ali first came up with for her for the audition. they also gave Liara a bit of a mid-Atlantic accent in the first game.

Ash Sroka auditioned for the roles of Liara, Tali and one other character. for the Tali read, she was given a long monologue about Tali's Pilgrimage. she left the booth thinking that if she didn't get the part it was okay, because she'd gotten to read this beautiful monologue and really feel that character. she felt an instant alignment with Tali.

for Grunt's audition, Steve Blum pitched his voice as deep as he could. BioWare said to him that they were going to be pitching Grunt's voice down in post-processing, so he didn't have to do that, but he couldn't help himself and did it anyway. he said that Grunt is a "half-ton child" and self-described as a half-ton child, so things worked out really well. he also mentioned that "it helped me personally, because I'm emotionally under-developed and Grunt is a baby so it was some nice free paid therapy for me, and the fact that people actually responded to it was a bonus, it's kind of amazing".

William Salyers didn't realize he was being brought in to take over the role of Mordin in ME3. he'd been sent audio references and knew that this was a species found throughout the game, and thought that the character he'd be doing was going to be like an assistant or something. the first day in the booth, BW asked him "do you think you can do the match [match the ME2 voice]?" and he was like "I don't know what you're talking about but yes". William was in ME2 as 'Incidental voices' and felt rly fortunate to 'graduate' to Mordin in ME3. when recording Mordin's death-redemption scene in ME3, he & the voice director were both in tears.

for the voice direction in ME1, BW wanted it to feel like an episode of 24 - they didn't want dialogue lines being like screamed or yelled out like they were in a lot of games from around that time. it was supposed to be much more realistic and human in feel.

when developing Kaidan's voice, BW asked Raphael Sbarge to speak to a stickie note on the wall, because they wanted it to feel like there's a sort of sense of the military, that cadence that comes from really speaking to someone else in a directed way.

Shepard and ME have a very special place in Jennifer Hale's heart

a submitted question from the community asked Mark and Jennifer how their perception of Shepard evolved throughout the trilogy. Mark said that the way it was explained to him by BW was that, as they went, they had a little more leeway in Shepard in showing the toll the war was taking on them. "We also got to watch Shepard develop these relationships with the characters in the games. These were their closest friends, their true companions through all of this." this made it possible to sort of humanize Shepard more and more as the series progressed. Shep starts out very by the books regardless of paragon/renegade etc, they're very military, an officer, they're used to giving orders and used to being under pressure. and especially by the time they got to ME3, it was now like, "now you can show a little bit more vulnerability, now you can show a crack in the shell a little bit, especially after the events of ME2 where Shepard literally dies and was resurrected, what does that do to a person?" Mark mentioned that he thinks this is common to all versions of Shepard. by the time you get to ME3 there's a real sense of getting "past the armor, emotionally and spiritually". Jennifer agreed and added that the way voice acting was done in video games also developed over the years from ME1-ME3. by ME3 it was more done in the way like how you would shoot a film, that kind of acting.

Jennifer mentioned that both she and Shep are really freakin stubborn

on Next Mass Effect:

a submitted comment from the community said "Hopefully we get to see or hear you again taking part in the continuation of the Mass Effect story in any way." Jennifer replied "yes, I vote yes to all that".

Ali talked about the moment she discovered Liara was going to be in the next ME. "I have a couple of friends who are close friends and really big ME fans. Usually they're the first ones to alert me of anything ME before I ever see it in the trades, online, on socials etc". she clicked on the link to the trailer she was sent "and I was like.. wait.. what? I think I was just looking at the link and then had to play it again, and then probably like a lot of you I tried to zoom in on it and look at it, like is that...?"

here D.C. said "Um, asking as the voice of an entire species [the geth], do you, you didn't know anything?" Ali said "No, I had no idea, do we ever? I think as we all know, seeing something like that is no guarantee of anything. I was like, is that Liara? Liara's daughter? Liara's mother? is that back in time, is that forward in time? I know as much as anyone, but it was really shocking. like when you were a kid on your birthday and there's a big wrapped present from your parents and you don't know what it is. I know as much as you guys, your guess is as good as mine."

Mark: "As far as what I'm looking forward to, there are endless possibilities. Again as Ali said we, we know about as much as you know, so it could go anywhere. past, future, who can say? Are we gonna see, is this gonna be the First Contact War? is this gonna be far in the far future? where could we go? The Codex is very big as those who have spent ingame time reading it know and that's a very well thought out and fleshed out universe, so the possibilities are endless".

Jennifer: "Just to add to that, what I always tell everybody in the community is email [BioWare] and tell them what you want. they don't know if you don't tell them. telling us doesn't, we appreciate it so much but it actually won't get anything done."

Raphael: "If you feel strongly, we would encourage you to speak up [on that]".

a submitted question from the community asked the cast what they're most excited to see in the next game. AWR: "We're most excited to to see us in the next game, right [winking theatrically]". the cast were all like 'yeah' and nodding and AWR said "emails, emails, emails".

D.C: "The poster, the teaser poster that they put out for Mass Effect 5 shows what looks to be a crater and the outline of Legion and it looks like there's a little dead geth in that poster, so all I know is, and I am the voice of all geth, so."

Hey Rae do you wanna... tell me a lil bit 'bout Miss Aveline Shepherd 😳😳

Haha not cause I think she's hot or anything that would be ridiculous

Yeah!! Okay, so, Aveline was my first Shepard when I got into the series back in like, 2016?? (this was about a year before I got into Dragon Age, so the name is a coincidence, shoutout to fantasynamegenerators.com though!)

She was a spacer growing up, lived most of her life on starships and space stations. I feel like she is slightly agoraphobic because of this maybe idk, or at least being planetside always feels slightly disorienting to her and takes some getting used to. Long-term friendships are kind of an alien concept to her due to her upbringing as well

Aveline is quite skilled when it comes to working with tech, a fascination she shared with her father. Initially she joined the Alliance as a combat mechanic, tinkering with shuttles and calibrating mechs. These skills eventually allowed Aveline to branch out and train as an Infiltrator at the Interplanetary Combatives Academy, where after years of dedicated service she graduated from the N7 Program.

A short while after this, Aveline and her unit were dispatched to investigate a loss of contact with the Akuze colonization project, where nearly every soldier lost their life when in a Thresher Maw ambush. Aveline's survival was in part due to luck, but her training played a factor in it as well, as her training in long-range combat placed her furthest away from the attack, leaving her with only a few scratches while the rest of the unit was devoured and torn to shreds. Every subsequent encounter with Thresher Maws tends to bring out a really vicious side in her that not many get to see (aside from the occasional unfortunate merc, corrupt politician, or reaper construct)

After being brought back to life by Cerberus, Aveline struggles with chronic pain and often self-medicates to alleviate it, but that one damn shoulder in particular always seems to ache no matter what (possibly from enduring years of abuse due to sniper rifle recoil prior to this, on top of the fact that it is now at least partly made of metal). As well, she undergoes a bit of an identity crisis, in terms of her morals, finding herself quicker to anger than before and having far less patience when dealing with difficult situations, but she still tries her best to be kind at heart and give people the benefit of the doubt.

After the destruction of the Alpha Relay, Aveline holds a lot of guilt, because she couldn't save the Batarian colony. You might be thinking "why? batarians hate everyone and are very bigoted?" to which she would answer "because they are still people and they didn't deserve to get obliterated." She knows that there wasn't any other way it could have played out, and that her actions delayed the Reaper invasion by several months, but seeing Cannibal husks for the first time in Vancouver and realizing they had Batarian faces shook her to her core, because it meant that they had all died for nothing.

Oh and like most of my OCs she is a flirty Bi Disaster™, and had a budding romance with Kaidan Alenko before his demise on Virmire, later ending up with Liara, and then Garrus, and then Liara again, and very possibly I might commit to making the same choices and have her romance Samantha Traynor again (mostly because Alix Wilton Reagan's voice is so... so.... very good and definitely doesn't send me into gay panic at all)

[thebloodychampion]

(Am I crazy doing this? Yes I am. Definitely)

So I will make a comparision on how the character sounds like from their voice claim and how he would sound like if I used their face claim as voice claim.
