Idk why but my favorite line of GLaDOS is when when goes "Oooooooh boy" in chamber 19 when she tells Chell "one day we will think of this, and laugh, and laugh, and laugh"
I never heard glados, just the TF2 admin "Protect the briefcase" Actually, maybe even more the HL2 overwatch command. "Attention please: All citizens in local residential block, assume your inspection positions"
I think Ellen nailed GLaDOS' change when you incinerate the morality core. She stops with the mechanical voice, chuckles and with a silky, evil voice, starts with "good news"
It's remarkable to me that "a voice actress knows all about the game in which they played the starring role" is remarkable to anyone, but then it can happen that voice actors don't get ANYTHING but the minimum of context required to do a good job. Like here, she basically got "sound like this robot" and they didn't even tell her they would make her sound like a robot, so I guess it is kinda remarkable XD
It does sound weird to say "said va who played as the main role of this game doesnt know anything about said game" but it's not that rare. Ellen Mclain also did the voice for the administrator in TF2 and the guys at Valve just said "say these lines" before actually showing art of her and how she looked (badass old lady like that hates everyone) @@Twisted_Code
the fact that Ellen McLain knows about Narbacular Drop just makes me happy! that's proper nerd cred. heck, Ellen McLain just makes me happy. thank you both for this.
The turret opera caused me to tear up, but it was instant and kinda involuntary. I don't know if it was because of how unexpected it was, or how suddenly that wonderful voice kicks in, but wow. It's definitely one of my favorite moments of all time. How I was joking around one moment, and the next it basically forced a strong emotion into me. Caught me off guard. Thanks Ellen McLain for such a legendary piece.
One thing i love is how much she knows about not just about her role as GLaDOS, but the entire development of the Portal franchise with things like Narbacular Drop and such. Really cool to see how passionate she still is about the games she helped create
Ellen is just such a... _Human._ She is, in the best way possible, both so interesting and abnormal and unique, and at the same time, so very normal and ranty and sane. She's like grandma with super powers, she's just a kindly old mother who makes great soup except boom! Also a kick-ass savior!
Much love to Ellen. Such a gem of a human being. I fell in love with her character as a 5th grader in 2012, and only grow to love and appreciate all her roles. Thank you for all you do Ellen :)
Love seeing Ellen appreciate and almost fangirl over the other actors. GLaDOS is one of my favourite video game villains of all time! I think it’s a shame they have never met one another though. @valve need to work on this!
Imagine they had just used the computer generated voice instead of hiring a VA. Her performance was so incredible, even alongside talents like Stephen Merchant and J.K. Simmons, she absolutely shined.
To see someone that loves their work so much is rare, and makes me wonder about the difference between us. I once heard something about how some people believe motivation is infinite, and never get tired of working. I wonder whether the former causes the latter or vice versa. Do such people believe motivation is infinite because they've never felt demotivated? Or is it their mutable mindset (in contrast to the fixed mindset) that ALLOWS them to avoid being demotivated? Whatever the case, I really want to have this love of doing things she has. I seem to get bogged down quickly when I try to do anything complex.
She's so wholesome and kind and dear, I want to be just like her in 30 years (TwT) So much of what she says resonated with me, in terms of acting in general and voice acting in specific, it's just such a brilliant way to spend one's life and one really can never get bored when your job is playing pretend and bringing stories to life
40:30 We all want a Portal 3. I don’t know how likely that really is, given Valve track record with “trilogies”. We’re still waiting on Half-Life 3, which has become an internet joke at this point. Always possible, but don’t hold your breath.
They did alyx. Maybe a portal prequel would be more interesting from a story standpoint. Things would get complicated if you find a pretext to get Chell back into the facility. (Or you could design an outside world where she somehow needs to do something on her own will). Well you have to deal with one of 2 problems: - either the outside world design after her escape, that point is really sensitive because we have never been exposed to it as an audience and fans might have different expectations and it's hard to maintain coherence. The other option is justifying a return to the facility without it being deus ex machina (which would be empty from a story standpoint).
@@peepo19 Honestly, the Half Life joke still works in a way. They didn't call it Half Life 3. I agree though, it would be tricky to get Chell back into tthe Enrichhment Center. Having not played any of the HL games I can't speak for the world at the end of those games, but I don't know that it would be particularly good gameplay either way since portal has always been about the puzzles and the crazy science lab environment. Though in terms of a prequel, maybe it doesn't have to be Chell for that, either, or at least as a main character. You could run into "little Chelley" (in a "let's confirm the fan theory about her being a bring your daughter to work-turned-test subject" way, probably. I mean they didn't tease that for nothing right?) in some pre-GlaDOS, or at least pre-neurotoxin, Enrichment Center, perhaps?
@@Twisted_Code yeah absolutely, I think a prequel would be super interesting and also funny (we get a glimpse of the old times in portal 2 I believe, and the CEO is super funny - the context too, no regard for safety or well being of the scientists/ test subjects). I can imagine it would be really funny and rich as a story.
@@peepo19 "Science isn't about *why* - it's about *why not.* *Why* is so much of our science dangerous? Why not *marry* safe science if you love it so much? In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because *you are fired!* Not you, test subject. You're doing fine. [to someone else] Yes, *you*. Box. Your stuff. Out the front door. Parking lot. Car. Goodbye."
This was interesting to hear. I liked that the three books she named were nonfiction. I read about 80-85 percent nonfiction and feel not seen when all the must read lists are all novels. Also, I liked that you asked if a certain performance stood out, rather than what was her favorite.
1:26 I wonder if she mixed it up with Half life 2's overwatch voices? Because the dev commentary that was added a few days ago talks about how they didn't have the license to use the tts voice for the overwatch so they hired her to do it instead, but that was half life 2
I wish we had more Ellens on this planet. Wonderful voice, really engaged in what she does and a hunger for general understanding of history. If you don't learn from history you're doomed to repeat it. Incredible human being. This was a real pleasure to listen to. :) I also remember a lot of kinda useless stuff like who played in which movie, I also remember tons and tons of lyrics to many songs. I'm 40 now and I hope I have such a great memory in 30 years...

It's so sweet, and reminds me of my own late grandmother somehow. I could listen to Ellen talk about basically anything for hours and hours haha, she's so wonderful ❤
Love the part where she recounts her confusion about GlaDOS lying to the player. Actors would do well to remember that, at any given point before or after the climax, only the writer has a complete picture of the story to be told. Sometimes, it's best to just roll with the lines one is given and don't think too much about "truth" or how a scene will play out. Perhaps this goes for life as well. In terms of individual "stories" iif not for a grander scheme. To quote Matt Smith, "we are all stories in the end, just make it a good one".
From 9:34 to 9:40 : "Lots of laughing.." was totally her and GLaDOS, i heared this directly and i'm currently not fully listen to it, because i have it playing in the background

She definitely has, when I was playing the developer's commentary version of Portal 1, Ellen was talking about how she's never been interested in computer games before but now that she's in the game, she wanted to play it. I love her!
Love that she doesn't remember the name of Cyberpunk 2077 lol. I was actually interested in more about how that process work - if CDPR had to get permission from Valve before reaching out to Ellen or if a computerized version of Ellen's voice isn't something they really control. Great interview! She has such a long career, I feel like it could be 3x longer and there'd still be plenty to talk about lol.
Hey Reece, glad you’re doing better! I’m still listening through this but I just wanted to pause to tell you I’m loving it (and all your other content too!)
This is such an amazing podcast , its kinda hard to me understand cuz i dont speak english but the bit I got Its amazing, I love her!!! U made my childhood.
This kind of got off the rails man. Haha. So many missed opportunities. When she said “the story changed from what it was” about Portal 2! Aghhh! Just needed a simple “What changed about it?” That’s a 2 hour conversation. I would love to hear opinions on the lore.
52:00 oh you poor thing, any gamer that's noot completely out of the loop could probably tell Ellen is talking about Cyberpunk 2077... Well, despite being GlaDOS, I guess she's not omniscient, and it was cute to see hher try to think of it.
Happy Birthday Ellen McLain. U look amazing. Also. I love Cyberpunk 2077. Wow. My older brother played Cyberpunk 2077. Oh yeah, he's also totally awesome and badass. We had history. 2 brothers. Younger. My brother played that game. And theirs even "Cyberpunk Edgerunners," love that anime, it's fuckin' awesome and badass. It has 10 episodes. It's pretty kool. I saw it on Netflix.

"Protect the briefcase"
Actually, maybe even more the HL2 overwatch command. "Attention please: All citizens in local residential block, assume your inspection positions"
"Where Carolyn lives in my brain."
true
I may be tripping but i hear these little robotic cuts in her voice😂
Shes one of those celebrities that i would pay ANYTHING to get to talk to, she seems like the sweetest lady.
the way she plays the complete opposite characters is so funny
"I'm not shy, it's a waste of time"
Bless her, for being an incredible voice actress and most importantly human being.

When you hear her say "pronunciation" at 4:10 you can really hear GLaDOS
And "song" at 25:37
50:17 "I hadn't done GLaDOS..."

Imagine how much valve could troll us all by making a portal 3 and on release they call it portal: rattman
Or Portal: Aperture, or Portal: F-Stop
I think it's dope, no way chell could come back her story is done and it's perfect.
Rattman on the other hand though
Portal 2 Chapter 2
A psychological thriller game with rattman and portals would actually be sick

From 9:34 to 9:40 : "Lots of laughing.." was totally her and GLaDOS, i heared this directly and i'm currently not fully listen to it, because i have it playing in the background
At 34:04 when Ellen says “recordings” you can really hear GLaDOS in her voice!
Just throwing this out there, OverWatch, hands down some of the most chilling dialogue in any medium.. I just recently got back into Half-Life 2 working on a mod project and I'd never paid attention to the minutiae of the dialogue, or at least I didn't remember it.. but I was reading 1984 right around the time Half-Life 2 came out and there's this near pitch Black chill that that I get, especially the opening sequences.. I don't think I've ever seen it in another game and as far as movies, only a handful and none of them really took it quite as far and just the strength of the medium being interactive.. I recently found out compilation of all the OverWatch dialogue and played it for my wife and there's this visceral reaction.. I know you're known for the characters that you're actually able to character LOL but that is always going to be burned into my brain as this dark ominous utilitarian malice that as far as I can tell it's unmatched..
I don't know if it had the same impact on everybody like it had on me.. seems like everybody was into half like two for different reasons, and given the episode 2 direction they took and how people reminisce on the game, maybe that wasn't universal but.. just wanted to throw that out there, that roll was genuinely something so so perfect for what it was, I'm kind of floundering on the words here but.. mad props I guess?
I was waiting for the question,"Have you ever played Portal?" I think I'll ask her on Twitter!!
Has she?
Did ya get an answer?
Did you?
She definitely has, when I was playing the developer's commentary version of Portal 1, Ellen was talking about how she's never been interested in computer games before but now that she's in the game, she wanted to play it. I love her!

Omg the way she talks reminds me so much of my grandmother; the words she uses❤❤
She reminds me of my grandmother as well, the willingness to learn and the sense of humor is totally that incredibly sweet grandmother energy 😅

52:00 oh you poor thing, any gamer that's noot completely out of the loop could probably tell Ellen is talking about Cyberpunk 2077... Well, despite being GlaDOS, I guess she's not omniscient, and it was cute to see hher try to think of it.
she seems so sweet

0:44 or she could have said "test subject name here"
We need to hire more older people for these great characters
That didn't work for the Borderlands movie...

hearing her adressing russian story was so surprising. btw she pronounced all last names correctly!!!!!
Yeah, when I first saw it on timeline, I was half-expecting something typical like "why don't they simply make a revolution?" thingy, pleasantly surprised I was wrong.
@@lmnk I mean, the revolution is what you were supposed to do, instead of hiding. But it not really possible, considering the fact that most of ruzzians supporting this madness, so..
I seriously cannot believe this woman is the infamous GldDOS
Why?
Ellen McLain
Game
1. Rogue Deleman - Cyberpunk 2077 2020
she has such a lovely voice
its so funny that she forgot the name cyberpunk 2077. she mustve just done the role and forgot about it right after
I think I hear some vocal flips on her natural speaking voice that kind of sounds like GLaDOS robotic voice, or is it just me?
the living legend!
3:44
47:47 I'm different
What a pleasant person. It's clear Valve hired her for much more than her voice.
I wish she revoiced some lines!
This was a triumph.
She is awesome ❤
i flipped my shit when i heard glados in Pacific Rim
I hear the Overwatch from HL2 😂
♥
what a brilliant human being. she's such a light.
Great old woman!
Lovely lady!
SELF DEFENSE DREAMS
She's just such a sweet old lady.
What’s the system that makes your voice sound like glados
I would suggest changing the thumbnail. This will get tons of views instantaneously
To what? Any suggestions?
@@KIWITALKZ Maybe to you two talking. You on one side she on the other. And maybe like some text "this is glados". If people know this is a new present interview they will watch it. Check out thumbnail on this video by chalkeaters she mentioned: ua-cam.com/video/eDB_MXm3cEA/v-deo.html
she's like a charming version of Hillary Clinton

All i can hear is the "No, no, noooooooooo!'
When she talks about Russia, she starts to resemble Hillary Clinton
What's that supposed to mean?
@goansichishig just observation
Uh, no?
@@polskabalaclava the face is pretty similar
@ ah, yeah I can see that actually, but she’s definitely a lot better than Clinton
