I found out Ashly was Aloy's voice and my jaw DROPPED. I could believe it for Chloe Price, but her voice sounds so much deeper and stronger in Horizon, I was like "who dat, that's such a fantastic voice"
This is one of the most comfortable interviews I think I've ever seen. Just started Horizon Zero Dawn and loving it so far. Great job Ashly and Janina! I'm looking forward to watching altFound grow!
I just had to say that Aloy is an absolutely amazing character. She is so damn badass, and she commands respect, and exudes power but doesn't do so by being mean or hateful and I think that's where many people make mistakes with characters. Aloy is just as powerful whether she's sparing your life, or attacking you with her spear. I think Ashly did an amazing job voicing Aloy, and just her character overall is great. Even her interactions with NPC's like Avad (trying not to be spoilery), but she had really important NPC's impressed with her power. I just think shes an awesome victory overall for female characters in games.
Alan Torres I agree completely, it was so refreshing to play a game with a leading lady, and without any gender or race politics. Awesome! (The politics come afterwards, grrrr...) 😊
@@kelvottomatpelaajat3797 Is that even common? I feel like you're the kind of person that would be irked if someone's, as an example, Gay or Trans, or a PoC in video game
@@toastynachoos I think that's more the issue with movies today. Games aren't really that hard into gender politics, thank god. There women are mostly actual people! Man that last sentence felt wrong to write.
Really liked this laidback interview style, it's different from the usual "sit in chair and talk". The only criticism that I could give is the low mic volume, but nothing besides that. Nice interview!
The vocal performance for Aloy was excellent. There are often multiple emotions going on at once and the complexity is conveyed through the voice. Like the heart option for how you deal with Helis: "Turn your face to the sun". That line gave me chills.
This is amazing. I love that SO many important things were discussed in this video. I learned so many things just by listening to Ashly's experiences. Can't wait to see her on more games in the future. She is Such a talented and amazing person.
This was a great interview!! I loved the laid-back feel to it! Ashly was amazing, as usual, and Janina, you were awesome!! Would very much love to see more interview's like this in the future, maybe with people like Troy Baker or Sam Witwer! This was awesome! :)
Thank you for posting this, I often find I have a lot of the same questions and or stresses about voice acting as you expressed, so it was nice to learn that someone else has this, and learn a bit more about the industry as a whole.
Holy shit is this a dream come true?? Janina Gavankar AND Ashly Burch in the SAME ROOM? I'm in love... seriously how the fuck can two women be that pretty omg
This is a really great interview. I find discussions with voice actors really compelling, and the casual nature of this interview is really engaging. Some of the "inside baseball" talk here reminds me a bit of "I know that Voice". Actually, know what a similar documentary with some modern voice actors for games and animation - the crew that Ashley talks about, the CR folks - would be wonderful to watch. Got on a tangent there, but yeah as the other posts say, low volume, but great interview style and rapport. I've subbed for more! Also, I've already platinumed the Horizon. Fantastic game .
Was just looking up some Ashly Burch interviews and was quite surprised seeing Janina Gavankar interviewing, since i knew her only as tv actress. Now gotta find a similar talk about her gaming background prior to working on SWBF2.
Great interview! Loved the casual approach. As a male writer who seeks to create good, believable female characters, it's always great to hear women (especially such talented ones) talk about what they think constitutes good characterization.
"I actually ended up auditioning for Chloe, Max, Victoria, Kate, and maybe one other character." No matter how hard I try, I can't imagine Ashly playing Max. I heard Hannah Telle speak in interviews and she just fits Max's characterization so perfectly. Meanwhile, Ashly just seem to fit Chloe's personality so much better. I can probably see her playing Victoria or Kate, but at this point, I'm too used to hearing her voice from Chloe.
Wow I like these kind of interview. If you could come up with more like this - about voice actors and maybe game devs and game personalities, then I'm in it for the long haul
I only recently found out she's from my city, hell yeah! But god, she's right. There's nothing to do here no matter whether you're stuck at home or on a night out in the town 😥
Really good interview. I have to say I am in awe of her work on Horizon Zero Dawn. I don't think I have had as much emotional investment in a video game Character since Cloud in FF VII and that was a shit of a long time ago and pre Voice casting. Roll on the sequel.
I like how you two are having an in depth conversation when someone outside goes from once side of the camera view i don't know, i found that a little bit funny but i like this type of interview you guys posted!
Well Snake (technically) is the medic in MGS V and you don't really play as The Big Boss so it's sensible that the new Snake gets a new voice. Too bad Hayter didn't voice the real Big Boss in the game though...
Ashly is one of the most soulful people I don't have the easure of knowing. Fantastic Interview, my only criticism would be, that next time you should consider her haircut, and change places on the sofa
HZD is the most important video game of the generation. Full stop. Criminally underrated and big corporations don't want this game to be big. It's on us to blow this game up. Support it. Talk about it. Great video. I'd watch these ladies talk about...literally anything. Please link the Twitch-Marathon-Play through! I'm happy to donate.
If I just watched the interview a bit longer to know that Ashly was working on Life Is Strange it would've been confirmed before the developers released the video.
I was 10mins in watching Janina having the same smiles, facial animations as the actress who played in TheLWord&TruBlood,same gestures same overall impression._."must b her lil sis or something.."(Janina do looks younger here too,maybe bcause her roles r often more the older sister type&darker themed, seeing her being herself here made me feel a bit like i did watching lucyLiu pulling off(and gracefully,at that) a sunny MegRyan type of role in LuckyNumberSlevin, while i know her from ten yrs of cold hearted or somber roles) makes me laugh that i didnt recognise her/still wasnt sure after five more mins. I hope this continues on,was nicely intimate.JenniferHale somewhen,plz #hope. Claugdia Black too! & there s the clementine actress, the ellie one..I know it's not xmas but.. I had a good time.
Excellent video! Totally subscribing. One suggestion (aside from the audio), is please don't cover the faces with the suggested videos boxes, aside from that, it's great, congrats!
This seems like a really good, enjoyable interview, and I like the casual, real-people feel. (I love how they're sitting!) But small logistics suggestion: Someone should have had Ashly sit on the _right_ side of the couch. Half the interview, I'm barely catching glimpses of her nose and mouth.
OMG I love Janina! I remember I first seen her acting in Stargate SG1. Then I seen her in the Arrow tv show as a Cop. But yea, Stargate SG1 was so damn long ago, and she looks the same. lol. Janina is so damn beautiful! I never knew she had this job, or a voice acting career. That's awesome. I want to get to know her personally. lol
I love Ashly, I had to find out who was the woman behind the character. Loved the interview, very chill. :D & Horizon is amazing game! Loved the story.
I didn't know she was going to do the motion capture thing too. First time I heard about how she couldn't do it and Hannah got it in the end. Actually, I prefer it like this, Hannah-face, Ashly-voice. It turned out amazing. So, no complaints here! :DDDD
Tbh. Chloe was the only one I cared in Life is Strange. Thank you very much Ashly Burch for giving a voice to a girl who will always be a rolemodel for me.
I found out Ashly was Aloy's voice and my jaw DROPPED. I could believe it for Chloe Price, but her voice sounds so much deeper and stronger in Horizon, I was like "who dat, that's such a fantastic voice"

SO glad you enjoyed it! I hope to be able to roll out more content soon! :D
~janina
Looking forward to it!
Ashly did a real good job on Horizon. great work

Awesome!
(The politics come afterwards, grrrr...)
😊
I like how Aloy can be kind of sassy, shes got some fire in her. Shes such a badass character!

This interview was awesome. I could listen to you guys all day! You two have great chemistry and really should do a project together.
Vlaka Throw Jessica Nigri in there
Apparently Janina did the voice of a side-quest NPC in the Frozen Wilds DLC for Horizon Zero Dawn, so they kinda did? :'D
Loved this relaxed interview, with great questions also, excellent work guys. Subscribed cheers
That was great and Ashly seems pretty cool. I can't wait to play Horizon.
Really liked this laidback interview style, it's different from the usual "sit in chair and talk".
The only criticism that I could give is the low mic volume, but nothing besides that. Nice interview!
Alpha Jones
Yeah next interview should be pool side in bikinis....it's November perfect.
The vocal performance for Aloy was excellent. There are often multiple emotions going on at once and the complexity is conveyed through the voice. Like the heart option for how you deal with Helis: "Turn your face to the sun". That line gave me chills.
So cool! Thank you Janina, I enjoyed listening to this chat. Look forward to more on your channel
Do I love her characters, her youtube channel and herself? Yes, yes I do.
Shire Crawler same
Every now and then I hear Tiny Tina creep through! Can't wait to play Horizon
This is amazing. I love that SO many important things were discussed in this video. I learned so many things just by listening to Ashly's experiences. Can't wait to see her on more games in the future. She is Such a talented and amazing person.
Chloe!!!
Thank you for providing this wonderfully candid and in-depth interview.
Ashley Burch has to be the most charismatic (voice-)actress I've seen in long time that isn't above the age of 50.
This was a great interview!! I loved the laid-back feel to it! Ashly was amazing, as usual, and Janina, you were awesome!! Would very much love to see more interview's like this in the future, maybe with people like Troy Baker or Sam Witwer! This was awesome! :)
Great interview, I am big fan of Ashly and Janina did a great job with the interview. Looking forward to see what you guys do next.

This is a beautiful interview... And also extremely smooth... Dope shit
love ashly!! the minute i found out she was the voice of aloy, i knew there had to be an interview out there. lo and behold, here it is!
Tiny Tina her first voice.... And she created her fans basically creating.tinas sound first go is beyond impressive.
Aloy was an amazing character, one of the best game characters i've played with.
Ashly is awesome! Well done on a stella job.
I had to turn my amp to high gain and going full blast to listen to the interview.
I am such a fan of the both of you, and I loved this interview SO MUCH! It was fun, but also very insightful. 💖

This was such an amazing interview!!! Please do more!!!
Ashly is amazing, i love this woman
What an amazing interview with these lovely women, I really loved the laidback setting and learned a lot from this interview, awesome!
What an amazing interview!
You guys are awesome, the both of you killing it. Love the chill interview, great way of doing it, thanks for sharing, cheers !
Aloy's and Nil's interactions are some of the best parts of the game. The chemistry between the characters was pitch perfect!

I can probably see her playing Victoria or Kate, but at this point, I'm too used to hearing her voice from Chloe.
And that's why there are casting directors.

Great interview. Subscribed. Fingers crossed for the success of the channel!
"Who the fuck is David Hayter?!" Ashly I love you so much LOL Ashly's hair looks so unique :D
only the guy who doubt solid snake
I do like Kiefer Sutherland more than Hayter. After all I'm a huge fan of 24 series so you can't blame me :D
Marko Stevanovic
Yes, yes I can. In fact I do blame you!
Well Snake (technically) is the medic in MGS V and you don't really play as The Big Boss so it's sensible that the new Snake gets a new voice. Too bad Hayter didn't voice the real Big Boss in the game though...
Sorry bitch, freedom of speech :)
Ashly is one of the most soulful people I don't have the easure of knowing. Fantastic Interview, my only criticism would be, that next time you should consider her haircut, and change places on the sofa
get Troy Baker and Laura Bailey on and do this exact same thing. The popular voice actors are pretty cool and I wanna know more about them
We need more!!!
All I have to do is look away and listen and I hear the voice of baeloy 😭😍😭😍😭😍😭😍
Chloe and Aloy..
Fucking awesome.

When I saw Ashly's name as Aloy after beating the game, I was like Tiny Tina!?
If I just watched the interview a bit longer to know that Ashly was working on Life Is Strange it would've been confirmed before the developers released the video.
OMG SO CHLOE IS IN LIFE IS STRANGE SEASON 2 WOOOOOO
I was 10mins in watching Janina having the same smiles, facial animations as the actress who played in TheLWord&TruBlood,same gestures same overall impression._."must b her lil sis or something.."(Janina do looks younger here too,maybe bcause her roles r often more the older sister type&darker themed, seeing her being herself here made me feel a bit like i did watching lucyLiu pulling off(and gracefully,at that) a sunny MegRyan type of role in LuckyNumberSlevin, while i know her from ten yrs of cold hearted or somber roles) makes me laugh that i didnt recognise her/still wasnt sure after five more mins.

How has no one mentioned that Ash is getting interviewed by Papi from "The L Word"?!
Excellent video! Totally subscribing. One suggestion (aside from the audio), is please don't cover the faces with the suggested videos boxes, aside from that, it's great, congrats!
I'm listening to Nadia in Rise of the Tomb Raider and I'm like 'where the hell have I heard that voice?" Oh my gawd it's Aloy! I love you!!
pretty cool interview :)
This seems like a really good, enjoyable interview, and I like the casual, real-people feel. (I love how they're sitting!) But small logistics suggestion: Someone should have had Ashly sit on the _right_ side of the couch. Half the interview, I'm barely catching glimpses of her nose and mouth.
Just hearing her sweet voice makes me sad. Poor Chloe...
Sees first 10 seconds and i like where this is going.
Audio is reeeeeally low.
Turn up ur speakers bruh
I agree. I have really good speakers and the recorded volume is really low.
Yeah, they have an on camera mic, rookie mistake. They should have lavs on the talent...sigh...
I had to turn up my computer volume and RUclips's volume at their max to listen to this.
Hey boo I'm really digging your style keep making more vids;)
It's weird when I close my eyes and imagining Aloy being interviewed.
OMG I love Janina! I remember I first seen her acting in Stargate SG1. Then I seen her in the Arrow tv show as a Cop. But yea, Stargate SG1 was so damn long ago, and she looks the same. lol. Janina is so damn beautiful! I never knew she had this job, or a voice acting career. That's awesome. I want to get to know her personally. lol
Janina :'You' r so good at everything you do!'
Me:"Even at squashing you father's sandcastle ^^"
Janina! I remember you from true blood, great vid would definitely listen to the podcast.
Your Video logo looks like "salt found". thanks for having Ashly on your channel she is awesome.
Ashly Burch is the best video game actor everrryyyy
This was great! But where's that promised livestream?
I love Ashly, I had to find out who was the woman behind the character. Loved the interview, very chill. :D & Horizon is amazing game! Loved the story.
I didn't know she was going to do the motion capture thing too. First time I heard about how she couldn't do it and Hannah got it in the end. Actually, I prefer it like this, Hannah-face, Ashly-voice. It turned out amazing. So, no complaints here! :DDDD
I wish I could meet Ashly, too bad I live on the other side of the world.
Great video! Keep it up! :)
HELL YEAH SHE'S FROM PHOENIX
Chloe!
I also like Ashly's channel!
It sounds so weird. Y'know. everytime i hear her voice i picture Aloy's face in my head. lol so weird man
Yeah man me ttooooooo.......yay i am not alone after all
Ashly is god.
No shes a Goddess!
Aloy Price no shes anointed
Vikram Singh shhh she doesn't like calling her that 😂
She is actually an evil bitch
Mar B Explain
Tbh. Chloe was the only one I cared in Life is Strange.
Thank you very much Ashly Burch for giving a voice to a girl who will always be a rolemodel for me.
Oxenfree is an indie game that's a good recommend in line with Telltale, KRZ, and Life is Strange.
Did you ever do a twitch stream for charity together for Horizon Zero Dawn cuz I would want to see that
now, this... this, is a fireside chat.
SHIVA KAMINI SOMA KANDARKRAM!!!!
Ashly is awesome!
I know my hearing isn't the best but my god
Both both gorgeous and talented
Close your eyes and it sounds like Aloy talking with the old ones
She is Life is Strange Chloe Price's voice!!!
Close your Eyes and listen to Chloe
Now that I think about it I haven't heard Aloy laugh in the game... Thanks I think I heard it.
Great interview. I'm actually a fan of both women so I'm very much bias.
24:40 is when they start talking about life s strange. no problem
The game is amazing by the way 👍
Let’s be honest, this video should have just been an hour of Ashly Burch and this gal showing off their feet in their socks.
This was a great interview, and I expect RUclips will compensate you appropriately. Please use some of the proceeds to buy a better mic. :)
HAHA!
Will do. Thanks for watching!
I got my eyes on Janina, I got my ears on Ashly. This can't get any better.
Hi,
No subtitles, so useful for understanding a video for non-English speakers.
Maybe one day? Thanks
Ok so at 17:21 Janina hits the couch. the camera shakes. WHY? that camera isn't on the couch... this perplexes me...
even if there was some sort of rebar connecting the couch and the camera stand it still wouldnt shake that much
I think there is some video editing foul play taking place
ok so I'm thinking maybe the sound wave did it? but how loudly did she hit that sofa??? maybe thats why this video is so quiet.
