I think this part is my favourite. Now
because it had the most epic answers (I think p2 has them), but because
it was "intense". Lots of questions, lots of answers. My only wish is
Mark Meeer and Jennifer Hale to be more talkative. They must have at
least as much to say as Fred Tatasciore. (who is a really mannered guy,
as I see:o)

Two minor mistakes:
1. In your question to Vanessa Marshall you made a typo: aAsari
2. You didn't seperate Steve Blum from your question. [in your last question to him, at the end]

Much appreciated and fixed.

This is really great, fantastic interview, but I just wish you would have interviewed Yvonne Strahovski.

Thanks and yeah, I would have loved to have interviewed her.

Edit - just finished reading Parts 2 and 3.  It's getting more and more interesting.

I
just realised how absolutely mission-critical Ginny McSwain the
director is. She's like the Phantom of the Opera in that, although she
uses someone else's voice, it's her that we hear.

The actors came
from 2 extremes (both equally good IMHO). On one, which includes like
Saren (edit - I have more and more respect for this character, his VA
portrayed him more as a hero rather than a villain, that was
fascinating), they really seem to develop their own ideas on the
characters in advance. On the other, such as Grunt, they deliberately
come in as a blank slate. In all cases though, they praise Ginny.

I'm
not sure if it's normal for actors to praise directors as a
professional courtesy, but it's fascinating to read. I also think the
editorial decision to have each Part of this series focused on
individual topics rather than individual actors really help highlight
insights like this. Thanks Retroplayer.

Thanks for the kind words. And yeah, that was my reasoning of not posting them as standalone interviews. I think it works better this way.

This
is a very impressive project. Great questions, good answers. Looking
forward to part 4. And yes, "Saren" is more awesome than ever.

Thank you and thanks for everyone who has been reading them. i'm glad they're being enjoyed.

[Badpie]

Very well done, Retro! I'm really enjoying this. Can't wait for the next bit!

[Uszi]

This is awesome.

Good work!



I could really eat up every piece of behind the scenes info from these games.

[TGLRetroplayer]

You're all very welcome. Thanks!



I wonder if some Bioware devs are reading these... Hey guys!

[Dionkey]

I really liked Saren's VO Fred Tatasciore. He really gets into the character on so many levels. I guess thats why Sarens voice was so spellbinding in ME1. Great job Retroplayer!

[Volband]

Retroplayer, did you give up on the other VAs by now? I know you don't want to spam them with "INTERVIEW PLOX!!4444444!!" messages, but maybe some of them had changed his\\her mind, or maybe some of them just missed your request, or didn't think you are serious.



I mean come on, every time I think of Garrus's voice actor, I'm like "this guy would write novels for each answer, for sure!". He's commenting on fan creations on facebook, I mean COME ON, that is something.

[LPPrince]

This is why I want to do some voice acting. I feel like rather than voicing the character, you have to BECOME the character.



Fred gets it. I get it. Hopefully one day I can hear people saying the same things they say about him to me.

Well after this is all done there are a few that I will contact. I meam, I promise I'll at least try and get all the rest of the 'main' cast from both games. As far as Garrus goes I could only contact him by posting in the discussion section of his Facebook. He didn't reply but who knows, if enough fans reply and ask for him to be interviewed...

Thanks for the feedback. Knowing you guys are enjoying it makes it worthwhile.

[Volband]

What about PM-ing him?O.o

Edit: oh, and how did you contact with Talis' VA? I'm sure not on facebook, because she didn't use it since (last) january.:D (btw, some pretty "scary" pics she has:D)

Ah, I remember Talis' VA was pretty much the only- and I mean only- VA I couldn't find any contact info. Nope. No updated facebook, twitter, email or even agent. You see, I went through a good few agents to contact people. It's a real shame she seems to be so cut off from the fans.

[Volband]

Maybe you should ask a kind interviewee to contact her for you (and of course, for us). Though it sounds kinda rude.:D



"Thanks for the interview X Y!! But one more thing If I may: pls ask Liz Sroka if she's willing to give us an interview. kthxbye." =)

Hmm, I wonder why... (lest she be mobbed by the Talimancers).

[DiggingistDog]

This is the coolest, most interesting thing I've read all year. Thank you for your work. You are a really good interviewer and ask really good questions.

Thank you very much indeed!

Also, I'm kind of dissapointed Bioware didn't even tweet these interviews. I know they're under no obligation to but I guess I would have hoped for some kind of indication from them that they know these interviews actualy exsist. Oh well.

[Fredvdp]

If you get an interview with Keith David, I will name my firstborn TGLRetroplayer.

[hawat333]

Thanks for the interviews, Retroplayer, they didn't only make a good read but also added some interesting shades to the characters (to their voices at least )

[xiiz]

Thanks for making this and putting it up, great read!

Hah! Reading Freds' answers I just want to replay ME1 as Saren. 

[TGLRetroplayer]

Here we go folks...

Awesomeness! Thanks, Retro!

[Commander AC]

Great work again, the 4 parts were interesting reads, was it just me or did anyone else really try hard to look into some of there answers for clues about DLC or ME3 lol, also any news on the keith david interview yet?

Also fred tatasciore wow he really got into saren and understood the concept of the tragic hero

I haven't contacted Keiths PR just yet. I'll do so around mid-January. Thanks!

[Sandtigress]

Great interviews, thanks for the work and for posting them for us!

[Fredvdp]

I love how no one can comment about what they're currently working on and then Mark Meer flat out says he will do ME3 soon because we all know it's gonna happen anyway.

[Burdokva]

Yes, it's out... no, that's the end!



Still reading through it, but this:

Kimberly Brooks (Ashley)- Quite a bit, actually. Fans seem to either love Ashley or hate her. . . there seem to be more of the latter. This is why it especially fortunate for me that I am merely the ACTOR that voices Ashley and I don’t take it personally when die hard fans are passionate in expressing their feelings about Ashley and the choices she makes.

had me very surprised. Yes, I know many people don't like Ashley's character, especially since she's an atypical female character, but complaining to the VA? Eh! Ash's one of my favorite characters and Kimberly Brooks did a very good job with her.



I don't know if I'd be able to watch the movie at all without the VA's. Seeing how many "favorite celebrity for character x" threads there are on the forum, let alone the Hollywood exec's mindset, I'm worried that the producers will just pick up high-profile names and go live-action. For the first time I'd prefer a wholly CGI movie, honestly.



By the way, the first question for DC Douglas - it seems you forgot to put the question in (I suspects it's about the movie based on the answer)?
