(Coincidentally, that’s one of the reasons I love RPGs so much as well) So Fetch was also one of the most challenging… She had some really dark moments, especially those during First Light, that were painful to explore.Įscapist: You do the voice of Jaina Proudmoore in World of Warcraft, a pretty important character in Blizzard’s universe. The ability to forget yourself and experience things in a way that you never would normally. One of the aspects I love most about acting is the escape. LB: It’s funny, because often my favorite roles ARE the most challenging. Kind of ridiculous really.Įscapist: On the other side, what has been your most challenging role? I got to work with my husband and my best friend everyday on set. Plus the entire shooting process was a dream. It’s pretty rare to get the opportunity to get to portray someone as bold and passionate as she is. Today… Today I’ll say Fetch from Infamous Second Son. So depending on my mood, I feel more connected to certain ones. Every character I’ve voiced lives on forever just kind of bumping into everything else inside my brain. LB: Honestly, that answer changes daily for me.
What has been your favorite role and why? So once the details have been decided, there’s more room to play.Įscapist: You have a huge library of voice work in games. With anime you’re confined to the perimeters set by the original recording, but in most video games you get to build it from the ground up. Video games feel kind of like western animation in that there is far more freedom in the performance.
Was the preparation any different from doing anime? What type of research did you do? Everyone at the studio was like family.Įscapist: Your first game was BloodRayne in 2002, where you played the main character. I would show up in my pajamas and record for 8 hours at a time. I started at Funimation directly after high school, so the time I spent there was sort of like my college experience. I knew I wanted to be an actor but the decision for voice acting specifically didn’t come until years later. Did you specifically set out to do voicework and how was the initial experience? I think you got started with Dragon Ball Z in 1999. The Escapist: You have an incredible portfolio of games and anime that you have done voices for. We got a chance to talk to her about her 15+-year career and what it’s like to put a voice to some of the most interesting characters in games.
She has more than 200 games, anime shows and films to her credit, and Laura Bailey just keeps on going. She has been Jaina Proudmoore in World of Warcraft, and done voice work for Diablo 3, Dragon Age, Dragon Ball Z and Halo. You may not know her name, but you will know her voice.
