My guest today is a is a Canadian American actor for video games, television and film. Born in Labrador in Canada, she soon moved to Alabama in the United States, where, as a teenager, she began working as a commercial voice over artist for radio.After graduating from Alabama School of Fine Arts, she took on voice roles to fund her dream of becoming a musician. Soon, however, the acting took over. After securing some roles in regional TV series, she moved to Los Angeles. There, a part in the cartoon ‘Where on Earth Is Carmen Sandiego?’ brought her into the world of video games, where she quickly became one of the world’s most sought-after performers. In 2011 the New Yorker described her as “a kind of Meryl Streep of the form.”Her roles, which number more than a hundred, include that of Samus Aran in the Metroid Prime Trilogy, Naomi Hunter in Metal Gear Solid, Commander Shepard in the Mass Effect games, and the character Ashe in Overwatch.Play the console:Metal Gear SolidStar Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Mass EffectThe Long DarkRatchet and Clank: Rift ApartThank you for listening to My Perfect Console.
