- From Aloy in “Horizon Zero Dawn” to Tiny Tina in “Borderlands 2” to Parvati Holcomb from “The Outer Worlds,” Ashly Burch voices characters in some of today’s most popular video games. It’s a dream job for the lifelong gamer. Burch was only 12 when she decided she wanted to do video game voice work. A few years later, she and her brother Anthony created and starred in the web series “Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin’?” Burch tells us how she broke into the industry as a voice-over artist and shows off her skills on the mic.

![Behind the Scenes - Horizon Forbidden West [Making of]](/img/tr.png)
Man having tiny Tina and aloy on your resume is pretty epic.
The raaaange.
That's a strong resume
And Ms.Pauling
And Cassie Cage in MKX
AND chloe price
She also did a UA-cam series called hey ash whatcha playin
Finally ashley burch gets the recognition she deserves.
@humandxp did you just blow in from stupid town?
humandxp I can’t believe you just disrespected her she may be a her but she’s part of the boys
@@EwgenijBelzmann indeed. The performance was one reason why I like Aloy as much as I do as a protagonist.
I wish I enjoyed Horizon as much as others did :(
I think she is pretty
Her voice acting is literally one of the reasons Horizon is one of my FAVORITE games, I loved Aloy so much.
Why? I like Aloy but she just seems to stiff, stale and bland.
@@crimsonjedi Don't know what to tell you. I disagree entirely.
@@aprilroseberry7691 Yeah aloy is a great character
@@aprilroseberry7691 just beat part 2, she's cool but her character is bland, she dosen't make herself interesting at all
@@radicalkonrad765 because the focus isint about her at all in forbidden west. Her origins were in Zero Dawn which where most of her character is developed more throughout...
Aloy is 1000% the most sincere compassionate character I have ever seen so, A++ job there.
I wonder who wrote the story and dialogue?
@@freespeechmatters583 Delivery and speech patterns are equally as important as the words themselves. You can say the same lines in a condescending tone, and it turns Aloy into an incredibly unlikeable character.
Her first character was Tiny Tina,
And she just made her one of the MOST ICONIC CHARACTERS of the game.
I salute this woman!
Pretty sure Handsome jack is a little more iconic, but ye i get your point
@@ostsmulor different icons for different people.
Armin Eghtesadi sorry I accidentally wrote most ,I wanted to say “ONE OF THE MOST”
Handsome Jack is sth special my man !
She had other roles before tho, like Miss Pauling in TF2 for example.
Mambofaya i didnt know that
Ty for letting me know frend
Every time I hear Ashly's voice in a game I have Tiny Tina shouting "make it rain" in my head. She's fantastic!
HAHAHAH BURN ALL THE BABIES!
FischOderAal I hear something similar, but with Aloy.
@@EraVulgaris- This right here.
JC Denton ,came here to say that lmao
Shawty got legs for daaaaaaayyyysssssss!
Love her work with Chloe Price. It is so easy to feel when the character is being badass, angry, sad, afraid, just hearing her voice. So well done.
I remember getting chills when playing HZD and hearing Aloy scream “I am not your anointed! I don’t belong to you!” Brilliant BRILLIANT acting and scripting. Ashly is a big reason why Aloy came to life as one of my favorite game protagonists.
Same!! 😁
I'm only seeing this now but that line is also one of my favorite from the game. What a great voiceover actress
I remember having a mild freak-out when I realised that Chloe, Tiny Tina and Aloy were all the same voice actor. Ashly is brilliant!
I only JUST found out now!
Same! Flipped out in a good way when I found out
Sounds like me, I had a minor freak out when I realised The Hound from Game of Thrones and the "Yarp", guy from Hot Fuzz were the same actor.
Sasha wants a potato!
I just found out five minutes ago 9/5/20, 1230a 😄😄 marking this wonderful discovery
How does she fit all of the characters she voice acts.
Ruff Prophet her voice
It's called acting
She’s just that awesome 😁
Tbf Tiny Tina is actually based on her as a kid
I'm not sure how you can't tell it's the same person each time. TBH I don't like her voice. When Horizon promos came out it was "damn not her again." She just a terrible actor IMO.
Can't believe Ash just FINALLY got her big recognition. Been her fan for years and years since her web series. She deserves it
I first heard her as Chloe from Life is Strange
"This isn't a goddess, it's a door."
That sounds so funny out of context lol
Aloy is having NONE of that shit
Had to re-read this quote like 5 times to remember the context because yes Carlos Noriega, it really does sound funny out of context.
Great line. Lol
"it's not a boulder, it's a rock."
I love her as aloy. Such a strong and complex female character
Fajar Ramadhan Aloy is just an incredible and well written character. The fact that she’s female is completely irrelevant
The 1 Ghrol exactly tired of people relying on gender to show how good they are.
@@COOLPEAK The reason people bring up gender is because it's rare to have such a complex and believable and universally relatable female character in video games.
@@alexcadavona8727 Samus Aran and Lara Croft send their regards
@@heltoncwb Lara isn't relatable and that's the point... Well classic Lara anyway, new Lara is just... That's a whole other discussion xD
Bruh I just finished horizon zero dawn and holy shit that was a lot of voice lines 👁🕳👁
10 playthroughs, and im still hearing a new smartass remark about the rain or sliding down the hill ive never heard her say before
jesse demers Fr
I just bought that game last night because I wanted to see what the hype was about. I had no idea she was even a voice for the game. 😭
Curtis Sylvester Jr. lmao we all learn something new every day. Also how are you enjoying the game so far?
@@piratetv1 right? I have immense respect for Ashly and everyone else for the unreal amount of work in HZD. Also you played it 10 times? holy shit man I just finished my second!
I was today years old when I learned Ashley aka Keg is also Tiny Tina AND Aloy. Mind blown but she is still and always will be Keg in my eyes.
I am also "today" years old. 42 to be exact lol.
"My brother Anthony and I HAD a web series..."
Me: :'(
I used to watch it back before GT went away and sorta morphed into Easy Allies. The sketches were really good.
I know right! Still subscribed... new content would be amazing. I mean, how else will I know how Papa Birch is doing? He's the man!
I think I link their video on Bob Kotick on any video game related news.
"It's pronounced Kotick!!"
"That's what I said!"
"I lied!"
Boom!
Thank god I’m not Anthony Burch
Same😭
Damn, used to love the Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin? series.
When you accidentally start your siblings career
Anthony: your welcome gamers
What did happen to Anthony?
@@730Flare I was also confused and still am about it, but I think I have a understanding of it. Anthony landed himself some trouble through Twitter. Apparently, he flaunted his success, didn't take criticism too well, his was also labeled a cuck, wife left him and took his WiiU, and came out as bisexual.
Also from what I can gather is that Anthony is also jealous of Ash's successful career... despite you know, he put her over with Borderlands 2 and he sent himself into a downward spiral with his Twitter fiasco stuff.
As of now, Anthony is working in the Anime industry and I do think he forgave his sister, but that's all I know.
@@AceRevero he wrote bl3. Or at least that's what Wikipedia says
@@miguelhacependejadas850 He only wrote bl2 and bl tps
So made this comment yesterday and now I’m figuring out what happened to Anthony whom I’ve never a given 2nd thought
Imagine Ashly playing the adult Tiny Tina in a Borderlands animated movie. She could do motion capture and voice over for the character, now that would be cool to see.
so you want...regular Tina.
@@Wolvenworks I want both
I feel in love with Ashly's work the second I heard her as Chloe in LiS. Then I realized I heard her prior as Cassie Cage in MKX. Loved Horizon as well. Just all around amazing.
I seriously loved her in Life is Strange, purely one of a kind
Horizon Zero Dawn is my favorite game of all time, and Aloy is my favorite protagonist! Well done, Ashley Burch!
Same!
I didnt even need to read the comment to understand that. Your profile pic says it all. I am a big fan too!
Agreed
I've never played it but I love Hey, Ash Whatcha Playin? and didn't know she was Aloy so I'll have to pick it up.
Looking forward to trying it out on PC. Hear only good things.
I had huge crush on her after watching "Hey Ash, watcha playing?" series in 2010s
I understand you, i also have a big crush on her
I kinda wished Aloy's face and other character's face in horizon moves more realisticly cause the voice actors did so well but it just doesn't fit the character's face movements. This is the only thing i hate about the game. It's gameplay, story and world is amazing.
yeah i agreed, zero dawn had amazing graphic especialy you play on pc in ultra setting, but when you see aloy talking to npc, its kinda wierd, she has almost no expression on her face
Most if not all of RPG are like that. Because of the large scale of the world and quests/dialogues available, to be more efficient, the game uses automatic way to animate characters face & body in correlation to their voice & supposed body movement. That's why the result is not as good as a motion capture, which you can see in cut scenes.
@@ctangkau that makes sense, but if you see other RPGs like The Witcher 3, the characters there even the random NPC that you meet always has a certain personality to them. Some NPCs make jokes and Geralt and the other characters actually has really good face animations. But i don't really know why Horizon Zero Dawn's face animations looks a bit odd, maybe the characters's eyes rarely moves or blinks which is why it look robotic. But i definitely understand your point, it's not easy writing and acting every single side quest
@Tracy Lynn Same here. I watched the NoClip interview of the the making of HZD, they seem to be a self aware studio - Wouldn't be surprised if they are hard at work on it right now or maybe even completed it.
@@jasonalv7436huh I don't know if I remember the witcher correctly but Geralt face impression talking with npc wasn't that great either. The only thing that gave the witcher the edge is Gwent lol
I’d love to see her on Critical Role again, but I also really like Caduceus...
MisterDaviso w o w
how dare you put that thought in my mind
Oof that hurts, it wasn't entirely Ashley's fault..... In all seriousness I do hope she doesn't get to bombarded by folks who took that incident way too seriously :(
Do you know the podcast „Dungeons&Daddies“? Her brother is the DM, it’s by far my favorite podcast
ooooff that was BRUTAL
Ashly Burch is amazing. It's been a fun ride for me and my friends watching her grow as an actor since watching the first episode of "Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin'?"
That's where I first know her from as well. Way before her brother got her into VA work. (If you watched HAWP, her brother Anthony is one of the main writers for Borderlands 2, Borderlands the Pre-sequel, and Tales from the Borderlands)
The Bioshock and left 4 dead episodes were my favorite, such a long time ago
@@nicktheanticlause1313 he nailed it with Borderlands 2. As much as I tried to finish it, the Pre-Sequel bored me to no end. It just didn't have the same kind of humor and the side quests felt different for some reason as well. Never played Tales but I heard good things of it. Too bad Borderlands 3 wasn't as good as 2, story and humor-wise (which to me is Borderlands' strong point)
@@jjgarcia156 As much as I liked Borderlands 2, I actually enjoyed The Pre-Sequel a bit more. The story was really well-written, the floating physics were great and the humor was more up my alley - different tastes and sh*t. :) Just saying that this game, maybe for being somewhat different from the main series, doesn't seem to get the love it deserves.
@@lanarkorras4411 I got the handsome collection cause I loved both games on my PS3 what I loved about the pre sequel was that the characters you get to pick dlc as well had unique voice dialogue when reacting to certain parts in the story or on missions
I got chills when I heard her voice in the Horizon sequel reveal
I first heard Ashly in Life is Strange!! She's so amazing 😭😭😭😭
"HAD?"
THEY HAD A WEBSERIES?
NO MORE HAWP EVERY OTHER YEAR???
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!?!
*sad face*
😔
Don’t quote me on this, but I think Ashly has said the reason HAWP production slowed down so much was because Anthony just hasn’t really written anymore of them.
He's too busy writing Dungeons and Daddies.
She is one of my favorite voices of all the game industry, she's so versatile and actually fits every roll she had.
I hope she gets even more recognizion
Whoda thunk, an actor fits the role they get cast as
Yea,she definitely will since the new Horizon game is being made
I love the outer worlds, and I had no idea she was Parvati! She's so amazing 🤩
I loved Parvati! She made the character very endearing
bleachdragon88 Sadly she can’t be romance. Suck but whatever.
@@someguyonyt2831 Are you 12?
@@diablotry5154 Yes, i'm 12 older than you :D
@@someguyonyt2831 Classic comeback that only a kid would make
I totally hadn't realised it was Ash from "Hey Ash whatcha playin?" who was the voice of Tiny Tina till right now, how odd :)
“Hey Ash whatcha playin’” has now become “Hey Ash who’re you playin” and I love it.
She`s great on critical role too
Yeah, at least... when she's not getting player characters killed.😂
Haha, i kid. But yeah, she's fantastic!
@@jacobyullman5005 This will never get old RIP Molly
Aloy, Chloe, Tiny Tina, Critical Role. I love her.
Mel from Last of Us 2 xD
@@Bruuman how sad considering the fact that tlou2 was one of the worst disasters of 2020....
She's is incredible
Heeeeey, I recognize her from Mythic Quest! That's pretty cool, that they cast someone in a TV show about a video game company that had a ton of industry experience.
Life is Strange really had consumed me, I can't hear anything else other than Chloe Price
Other than Tiny Tina, the voices don't sound very different
Lol same.
Really? I actually like the game is some ways, but did not like playing the character Chloe Price. I thought she was a raging b$tch that gave her mom so much trouble. It was difficult playing a character in a game that you actually didn't like.
Exactly this. IMO her best performance put of all VAs she did was Chloe. Amazing as fuck game!
What about "ready for the mosh pit Shaka brah"
...oof...
Also an anime dub VA and an "actor" actor + writer for RocketJump
And in the Rob McElheny show he made for Ape TV+. Not advertising the service at all but she DOES share a scene with Oscar-winning actor F Murray Abraham soooo there’s that. Im really excited to see what she does ne t and also if she doesnt get on IASIP Imma slap Rob. 😈
*Apple. Stupid lack of edit on mobile
@@gateauxq4604 There is edit on mobile, click the 3 dots on the right
She VA’d Sasha on Attack on Titan
Aaawww, I wanted her to talk about Chloe. :(
I loved Aloy. She was just there and awesome and confident without having to show confidence and I'm not sure how else to explain it. She just did what had to he done no questions asked... and got it done.
Funny how she also plays the role of a tester at a gaming company in Mythic Quest..
And she does a damn good job at it too!
And that’s what got me to stop watching it from the first second she popped up! It’s so annoying seeing this chick pop up everywhere. It’s a good thing she didn’t work in Glitch Techs too much.
she's also a writer for the show!
The best of both worlds, a video game tester and actor
I didn't even know that Aloy, Chloe and Tine share the same voice. What an amazing actress
Man, I'm so late to the party, was looking for information on the voice actress behind Aloy... just to get another wow-moment out of Horizon Forbidden West! You're the voice behind Chloe and Tiny Tina too?! Freaking awesome. As impressive as your career plan as a kid :P Incredible work!
I love the character Aloy; and her soft yet firm voice was a major reason..
Bruh I'm late as hell to the Horizon party, just grabbed the ps4 bundle with that game, god of war and last of us remastered. I'm playing Horizon and I swear for the first couple hours all I could think was "Man, Aloy kinda sounds like Tiny Tina." Lol, lo and behold
Damn that's some bundle... Since I got the platinum on GoW, was kinda hard to play Horizon for a bit hahaha, got so easily confused with the buttons and stuff.
But yeah, her acting here is good
slink bradshaw those of three of the best PS4 games in my opinion
FYI the developers at Guerilla are planning on making Horizon Zero Dawn a full-on trilogy. Stay tuned if you liked that game!
I never even made the connection when playing Horizon Zero Dawn, I'm gonna replay it now with more appreciation lol
Psht. Troy Baker is the voice God of all video games. Troy voiced over so many characters, it's ridiculous lol.
I love Horizon Zero Dawn !
Same! Greatest game ever! What's your favorite weapon?
Yes ! It's absolutely amazing. The environment and combat are beyond god sent. It really coulve been a bigger hit if breath of the wild didn't release in the same year
@@aubreysummers1729my favorit weapon is Banuk powershot bow.
DetryX takes FOREVER to reload
Frençh tøåst & çøfféé but if you really loved it your comment would also include ‘can’t wait for horizon zero dawn 2’ ;)
Normally I have this weird disassociation when I see the real voice behind so many characters. But surprisingly, Ashly Burch's voice actually REALLY fits her in real life. I know that sounds like a bizarre thing to say, but there it is. Her voice fits the "character" that she is in real life. I don't know how else to describe it.
Funny how UA-cam recommended this video. I just finished Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep in Borderlands 2, and is now playing The Outer Worlds with Parvati as my most frequent companion. Ashly Burch did an amazing job on both roles!
I was looking for Molly Mauk comments. None was posted. Good. Gooood.
I think you mean keg
I'm confused whats Molly mauk?
Crowley and his 'Friend' it’s something from Critical Role
One could say it was Keg's fault about Molly
@@derongeng1172 oh thank you so much.
"I first knew that I wanted to be an actor my second playthrough of Metal Gear Solid."
Never have I ever fallen in love with another person more quickly.
Ashly has been my favorite voice actress for years, im always excited when i hear her voice on games, i started playing outer worlds recently (awesome game is already my favorite) and i instantly knew Parvatis voice
i love ashly burch so much, i’m so glad she’s getting the attention she deserves
She was pure aces in Horizon Zero Dawn.
You should put "Tiny Tina" instead of "Borderlands 2" in the title, you will get more views that way.
mata-pombos yeah
Yep.
@deshxn how about Borderlands 2 Tiny Tina?
No, you wouldn't, unless you've played Borderlands you wouldn't know that.
wait her brother write and design the characters if he desing other characters is it him who made handsome jack he is a geunis
Holy hell I love her I can't wait to see what else she's in. Wow going from a little character(but the best one) in borderlands to being Aloy, like wow. Good job Ash I can't wait to see what else you do.
🥺❤️❤️SO amazing when I found out these three were voiced by Ashly. I freakin love tiny Tina and Chloe. I love Aloy too but Chloe has a special place in my heart and Tina forcefully lives in a special place in my heart❤️
This is awesome! She's had such a great career so far, love her work!
Also voiced and writes for TF2's Ms. Pauling
I love her as Aloy and Tiny Tina, her voice is so memorable!
I didn't even know she did this voice too!
THIS BITXCH IS A KEEPER 🤗
The range on this magnificent woman is amazing.
They're all basically the same
@@lukea3262Dude. Are you being dumb on purpose?
Is this irony?
@@TheBreakingBread this is not irony, if either of you can specify why I'm wrong then I'll take the L
Even so, to say her range is 'magnificent' is absolutely exaggerating for like baiting
Never played Horizon Zero Dawn but Tiny Tina and Chloe are some of my favourite characters. This is incredible
Play Horizon Zero Dawn, the game is a master piece and she has THE perfect voice for the character, and every line is delivered perfectly!
I was worried it was gonna be the tyrene, but heck yeah! Tina's voice, especially in bl2 is absolutely perfect and she's a treat to be around as well!
Bro, Horizon: Zero Dawn is such a good game. I re-played it almost 16 times now and I have a platinum for it, trust me when I say this, it’s a really good game.
I'd love to play Horizon zero dawn, but my ancient pc can't handle it :(
Dang, gotta upgrade ...
If you can, try out Horizon. It's downright amazing.
Love this so much. It’s such a shame that there isn’t enough about her when her performances are so great.
Omg i remember hey ash what are playing like a decade ago. Damn
The characters of todays games are quite based on the real appearance of the voice actors or creators and i love it ❤
Unfortunately Aloy’s face was based on someone else. Maybe for 2 they can do more mocap with her tho, she’s definitely boosted her acting resume!
Lol
In Fortnite Save the World. She plays a woman named Desiree, and the Robot based of her. I believe the design for Desiree was based on her real life appearance
@@ethanator8265 cool! Wow! No way!
Aloy's model was someone else
She did an amazing job on Horizon!
"Scrambling a bit"
I love how much depth Ashly can give a character. She's brilliant and wonderful. ❤️
And yet will be forever known as the one who killed Mollymawk
too soon
Didnt have to scroll far to find this.
I came here to write the same thing.
Molly killed himself, let's give him his due as a gambler. Keg was just an idiot that followed desperate people into a bad situation.
@@eb4305 lies
Horizon is such a beautiful game. Love it. Still playing it.
I agree
I miss HAWP, I’m but glad they’ve moved on to bigger things. Even when Ashley talks normally, her annunciation and voice clarity are great.
HAWP?
Onat Akosha The Third Ashly and Anthony Burch’s channel. They have super funny skits, based around video games. Just search HAWPOfficial lol
@@theblackphantom7314 man i still watch the civilization sketch when i want a good laugh
I watched several hours of hey ash watcha playin. Cracks me up.
Oh my good I used to love Hey Ash Watcha Playing!! So cool to see she’s the one to have gone on to voice so many iconic characters!!
Chloe Price's voice will be stuck in my head forever
Ashly absolutely killed it voicing Aloy. Some of the best voice acting, period
She really is a perfect fit for Aloy
100% was watching Hey Ash Whatcha Playin' back in the day. Love seeing what came of it.
she’s IMMENSELY talented
Love Ashley, she's incredibly talented. Her portrayal of Aloy made HZD game of the year for me that year.
thats not how you spell decade! :D
My wife connected with Aloy and loved the game so much. Thanks for lending your voice to that game. It's a favorite in our household!
She carries such beautiful emotion in her voice, it really makes her one of the most fulfilling voices to hear in games.
I love Aloy and her voice. She’s such a cool artist💕💘💗 Maybe I wanna be a voice actor just like her🥰🥰
I know her from mythic quest
Same
+1
Holy moly, I cliced on this vid solely because I saw Aloy....And wow, you did a FANTASTIC job voicing her.......!!!
She's one of my most beloved characters from game series!
You are amazing at your job voicing great video game characters
She's so gorgeous and Tiny Tina is the best gaming character ever! ♥
My questions about the different dialogues has been answered ❤
Started playing Horizon Zero Dawn about a week ago. Her (Aloy’s) voice is so nice. 🥰
Horizon zero dawn is one of if not my most favourite game of all time & her amazing voice acting is a huge part of that. Aloy just feels so real, complex, just such an enjoyable character to experience & explore & uncover with
If you saw her on HAWP on gametrailers.con, you know you're old school
i remember her around the year 2007-2009, rip gametrailers...
@@jimrustler was a sad day for us all when they shut down. Can't believe it's already been 4 years. Good news is that most of them are still together at Easy Allies tho
Dude that ain't old school, they were on UA-cam and Destructiod before that. Now THAT is old school.
That death battle and game theory
Chinese Sparrows i miss that site and the old screwattack.
“Hey Scout, it’s Pauling. This isn’t a social call I got work”
Finally someone
thanks for voice acting Aloy in Horizon Zero Dawn, It really feels cool and the banter between each character is just really cool
holy cow this is mind blowing. I remember watching "Hey Ash Watch'yah doing" back in the day, and now seeint that she's the voice for one of the greatest games out there is just wow
Heyyy, she actually plays one of the main roles in the “Mythic Quest” TV series. And not just a voice!
Mayuri from Steins: Gate too, my favourite character she has played!!
woah. mind blown because shes in 3 games that i played through multiple times that i really LOVED!!! might as well pick any games she voice casts in, shes like a lucky charm because all those games were great!
so great to see her journey!
I would NEVER have guessed that Tiny Tina and Alloy were voiced by the same person! Wow.
Anthony making a character that fits his sister to get her into the voice acting scene is a keikaku doori moment
i love this Actress. She is actually quite inspiring
shes so good 🥺
