Let me tell you, the last few years have been an absolute whirlwind for me! It's 2026, and honestly, the ride since Baldur's Gate 3 has been nothing short of bonkers. I went from being that voice in your head as Shadowheart to, well, a bunch of other voices in your head—and I wouldn't have it any other way. Fans have been absolutely gobsmacked by the journey, and now, with Tides of Annihilation on the horizon, the hype is real. But between you and me? My heart is currently doing backflips for a project that feels like it was plucked straight from my wildest fantasies.

From Cultist to Empress: My Journey Through Gaming's Elite

Look, I've been incredibly blessed—or maybe just really, really good at picking scripts (wink). My career trajectory has been a series of certified bangers. Sure, I've had my share of projects that were... let's call them 'learning experiences.' But starring in Baldur's Gate 3 and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 back-to-back? That's the kind of one-two punch that changes everything. People still message me saying they hear Shadowheart yelling "Parry it!" when they play Expedition 33. It's hilarious and heartwarming, but I always strive to make each character uniquely their own person.

My resume is pretty lit:

  • Shadowheart (Baldur's Gate 3): The conflicted, secretive cleric who stole everyone's hearts. \u2764\ufe0f

  • Maelle (Clair Obscur: Expedition 33): A reality-bending painter—talk about a creative leap!

  • Upcoming Role (Tides of Annihilation): Shhh, it's a secret, but trust me, it's epic.

  • ALORA (Soulframe): My current obsession and dream role (more on that in a sec!).

"Oh, My God, It's My Dream Part!" – Becoming Alora in Soulframe

Alright, let's cut to the chase. The project I'm most hyped about right now is Soulframe, the upcoming MMO from the legends at Digital Extremes (the Warframe folks, hello!). I remember talking to GamesRadar+ at The Golden Joystick Awards and just gushing. I couldn't help it! I play Alora, the Empress of Eldveil.

Let me break down why this is the role of a lifetime for me:

  1. She's a Fairy Empress. Come on. How cool is that? Her power and morals are intrinsically tied to nature itself. It's a deeply resonant and powerful concept.

  2. The Voice. I get to use a little Welsh accent, and I am absolutely thrilled about it. It adds such a unique, melodic quality to her.

  3. The Poetry. Alora speaks in poetic triads. Everything comes in threes. It's challenging, beautiful, and so distinct. It immediately sets her apart in this vast, online world.

Given that Soulframe is an MMO, Alora is poised to be a central figure in the narrative. Think major quest-giver, lore-keeper, and potentially a pivotal force in the game's universe. With the platform this genre provides, I can't wait for players to meet her and explore her story. It's a next-level experience compared to a single-player narrative, and the potential for connection with the community is huge.

Beyond the Games: My Ultimate Dream Project

While voicing Alora is a literal dream come true, I've got other creative itches to scratch. Recently, I chatted about what my ultimate passion project would be. And let's be real, it's not another video game (shocker, I know!).

If I had the keys to the kingdom, I'd dive headfirst into creating a queer genre film. I'm talking full-on, no-holds-barred cinematic adventure. The vibe? I'd want to assemble The Avengers of shes, theys, gays, and allies. Imagine a cast and crew that's wildly inclusive, telling a story that's both badass and something we've genuinely never seen before. The gaming world has given me so much, but the silver screen calls for a different kind of magic—one where we can break molds and create new legends.

The Legacy and The Future

It's 2026, and the industry is moving at light speed. Being recognized as a 'voice'—literally and figuratively—in this space is an honor I don't take lightly. From Shadowheart's whispered secrets to Maelle's painterly commands, and now to Alora's poetic proclamations, each role has been a chapter.

Character Game/Project Core Trait Why It Rocked
Shadowheart Baldur's Gate 3 Secretive Devotion Complex, emotional, fan-favorite \u2728
Maelle Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Reality-Bending Artist Creative & action-packed!
Alora Soulframe (Upcoming) Nature-Aligned Fairy Empress MY DREAM ROLE, hello! \u2728
??? Tides of Annihilation (Upcoming) Classified! All I can say is... stay tuned.

The connection with fans is everything. Knowing that my work resonates, that people carry these characters with them, is the real reward. So, as I gear up to bring Alora to life in the expansive world of Soulframe and whatever else the future holds (queer Avengers film, anyone?), I just want to say: thank you for being on this crazy, wonderful journey with me. Buckle up, because the best is yet to come. \ud83d\ude80
