The Baldur's Gate 3 cast didn't always feel as strongly for the companions they voiced as the community did - as is the case with Shadowheart's actor, at least.
Speaking in an interview with IGN, Jennifer English reveals that she wasn't initially a fan of God's favorite princess. It was only after discovering the community's positive reactions to Shadowheart that her growing love for the sassy character finally blossomed. English says that she learned that the reasons the RPG's fans adored the cleric were similar to the qualities that she likes about herself.
