• Part 2

Raphael Sbarge (Kaidan Alenko, Mass Effect) continues his discussion with Jennifer Hale (Commander Shepard, Mass Effect). Topics include her start in voice work, and how she approaches her characters. Second in a multi-part series; check out Part 1 if you missed it!

Raphael: So I’m sure everybody wants to know, I mean people who haven’t necessarily gone and researched you, but how did you find your way, as an actress, to doing games? Was that something that you were aiming toward?

Jennifer: You know, I came out here like all the rest of us, you know, pursuing the on-camera stuff. And it was going fine, but then I went, ‘You know what? I need to actually make a full living at this — and right away.’ And I’d done a bunch of voiceover back East, before I moved here, and so I …

Raphael: Was that in New York, or was that …?

Jennifer: No, actually it was in Birmingham, Alabama, and Atlanta, Georgia.

Raphael: Wow.

Jennifer: Yeah. And I went in and made a tape, and got you know, SBV, my agents now – your agents … our agents – took me on, and within a month I booked my first cartoon series. Which was just crazy to me, ’cause I never even really watched cartoons as a kid. And then I had another one, and another one, and another one, and that ball just started rolling really fast.

And out of that first cartoon series, several years later came my first videogame, which belonged to that series, which was Where on Earth Is Carmen Sandiego? And then more and more games came along, and I don’t know. The art form just suited me. It was intense, you know. It was high drama, it was battles and butt-kicking, adventure and action, which I love.

Raphael: That’s great.

Jennifer: My hobbies are like, rock climbing and riding horses and you know, being outside and going and traveling and doing stuff, so, yeah. Yeah.

Raphael: Wow. That makes you think of personal ads, of what people like.

Jennifer: Oh, right, isn’t that funny?

Raphael: Rock climbing … long walks on the beach…

Jennifer: “Enjoys saving the universe, rock climbing, riding horses, quiet nights at home.”

Raphael: Right. “Kicking Geth butt.” Right, yeah.

Jennifer: That’s right. “Shooting multiple legions of bad guys at once.”

Raphael: Yeah. And then, do you still sort of foray into – do you have time – to foray into essentially doing on-camera stuff as well?

Jennifer: I do, actually. Actually, I’m just starting to get back there now. Last several years, all I’ve done basically has just been, like, projects for friends – small little independent stuff here and there, because it’s all I’ve had time for. But I’ve kind of had a jones … to get out there again lately. And so I started doing that – I actually just worked on The Office last week. Ironically, it ended up being a voiceover, which is hilarious. But the beauty of that is, I auditioned for one thing, and then they gave me another on set, and I ended up doing both of the parts for them. Because it was voiceover – I could. And I’ve got, you know, I’m going in to read for something today. It’s fun. It’s really fun to get back into. I did a great reading of a screenplay last week. And, yeah.

Raphael: That’s really neat. So it’s sort of … the voice acting has sort of given you a base, and now you can keep just sort of exploring sort of everywhere else, I guess?

Jennifer: Yeah, exactly. Just getting out and having a good time. Yeah.

Raphael: That’s really cool. When you get — I mean, this is more, sort of process-oriented, and I guess I’m just sort of interested in this because I think about this as well, I mean everyone has their own way in, but: When you get a character, say, you get a call and, “Hey, can you lay this down for us? Wanna hear what you sound like.” And you get, essentially, the specs, that is kind of the outline of the character, and you read it, and then you look at maybe, sometimes they have a drawing, sometimes they don’t. How do you find your way in? What’s your way into find
