Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 devs "knew within seconds" that Baldur's Gate 3's Shadowheart actress was the perfect pick for Maelle

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

Jennifer English has had quite a busy few years, with her latest role being 16-year-old Maelle in the latest GOTY contender, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. According to a recent Twitch stream featuring English and her partner, Aliona Baranova – who has her own minor role in Clair Obscur and was a performance director on Baldur's Gate 3 – English was the immediate top contender for the role.

English is far from new to the voice-acting industry, with credits in Elden Ring and Divinity: Original Sin 2, but her performance as Shadowheart in the critically-acclaimed 2023 RPG, Baldur's Gate 3, stole fans' hearts. Subsequently, the voice of Shadowheart, lovingly dubbed "God's favorite princess," became widely recognizable. However, that seemingly wasn't true for the Clair Obscur devs.
