Baldur's Gate 3 and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 actor hates being called a "voice actor" as it "negates" other work that goes into roles, like motion capture: "It makes me really angry"

Baldur's Gate 3 Shadowheart.

Baldur's Gate 3 and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 actor Jennifer English says she isn't a fan of being referred to as a "voice actor" – in her words, it "negates" the other work she puts into a role.

The talented voice behind characters like Shadowheart in Baldur's Gate 3 and Maelle in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 shares her thoughts during a playthrough of the latter RPG alongside her partner and fellow actor Aliona Baranova. "We would never call ourselves voice actors," explains English. "I don't know if that's – I think that's a mainly American thing," she says. The conversation comes after a broader discussion on actors' roles.
