Episode 324: The Jennifer Hale Interview
Added 2020-09-07 07:01:01 +0000 UTCWhether or not you know her name, you've definitely heard Jennifer Hale's voice if you played a video game in the past 25 years. Named "the most prolific video game voice actor" by The Guinness Book of World Records, Jennifer has an IMDB page that stretches on into infinity, with hundreds of roles in both video games in animation stretching all the way back to 1995. On this episode, join us as we chat with Jennifer about her long career in video games, how her roles and voice acting technology have changed in the passing decades, and how voice acting is adapting to a COVID-19 world.
And be sure to check out Jennifer's role as the narrator for the audiobook version of Christopher Paolini's To Sleep in a Sea of Stars!

2020-09-29 15:18:35 +0000 UTCLove hearing insights from professionals in what they do. Also thought that Bob was great in that he asked good journalist questions but by prefacing nearly all his questions with "I was just curious" makes him feel like he's asking the question as a fan which makes him like one of us and not a snooty journalist. May I suggest Ali Hillis for your next interview?

2020-09-29 03:45:55 +0000 UTCI love this interview. I played female Commander Shepherd throughout the entirety of the Mass Effect series and have never even heard the male voice. I usually play a male since I am male, but decided on a whim to play a female character when I started the series. Hale's Shepherd is mine, and she brought a lot to the character.
