Just the other day, we had reported on the admiration Ned Luke had for Grand Theft Auto 6’s trailer, and his high hopes for one of its lead characters, Lucia. However, Ned knows about Lucia’s haters too, and he has some choice words for them.
Lae'zel's voice actor recorded her Baldur's Gate 3 dialogue faster than any other Origin character, which the directors say was "to her detriment"

Devora Wilde, the actor behind Lae'zel in Baldur's Gate 3, didn't mess around when it came to recording her lines, but perhaps she should have.
In an interview with Dan Allen Gaming, voice and casting directors Beth Park and Josh Weeden explained that out of all Baldur's Gate 3's Origin characters, they got to spend the least time with Wilde because of how quickly she got the job done. "She recorded her lines so much faster than anyone else," Park explains.
"Fastest Actor" is an accolade that I will forvever treasure @joshweedenaudio @bethparkdirector https://t.co/SyS4Uid4YaDecember 11, 2023
This was obviously great for the development team, but as Park points out, it would have benefited Wilde to slow down in order to drive up those billable hours. "[It was] to her detriment," Park says, "because if you go slower, you get booked more, and you get paid more."
The pair also point out how similar Wilde is to her character in terms of her strength and determination. "She does like to be told that she's the fastest and the best one," says Weeden. Park describes her as "a machine", explaining that she was back in the studio recording lines within weeks of giving birth. "She's a true Githyanki."
Since the launch of Baldur's Gate 3, Wilde has delighted us on many occasions with her Lae'zel-like antics. First, she brushed off the cold reception to her character like a pro, then murdered fan favourite Bing Bong during a D&D one-shot campaign and proceeded to show absolutely zero remorse. Then, of course, who could forget her truly chaotic evil Baldur's Gate 3 stream, where she attacked druids, stole idols, and even kicked a squirrel, or the time she appeared in full Githyanki face paint and almost murdered Astarion right in front of his actor. What will she do next?
Meanwhile, Baldur's Gate 3 writing director says Larian is "not saying no" to new races, but you'll likely have to wait a while .

Super Mario Bros Wonder Voice Actor Praises The “Dream Year” He’s Had
You might not realize it, but Mario had quite the year in 2023. Not only did he have multiple games released, both of which were successes in one form or another, but he also had a hit movie that was released in theaters, made over a billion dollars, and has been nominated for several awards. Then, on top of all of that, Mario’s official voice changed over the course of that year. For decades, Charles Martinet was the voice of Mario. But then, starting with Super Mario Bros Wonder, a new voice actor was put into the role after Martinet “retired” from it.
