The Voice of Kalecgos: We Chat with Voice Actor Andrew Russell
12.11.2023 - 04:53 / wowhead.com
All of the fans were out at BlizzCon, including some fans who worked on the games we love. One of those is Andrew Russell, a voice actor who you may know best as Kalecgos. Andrew is a huge World of Warcraft fan as well as being pretty much the nicest person on the planet.
As one might expect from Kalec. We had the chance to sit down with him and chat informally about Voice acting, Kalec, and his love for World of Warcraft.

We start by asking Andrew about his career:
Andrew:
I actually started in theater, musical theater. I toured with a musical called Jersey Boys, the Broadway version.
I toured for a year and a half with them, and then I got into voice acting after that. I have since left that world and moved into the voice acting world.
Wowhead:
Wait, musical theater? Does this mean that we could have Kalec sing?
Andrew:
So the dream is that Jaina and Kalecgos could sing a duet or something.
I'd love to see it.
Wowhead:
You and Jaina were once an item...
Andrew:
I know! We need to make it happen!
Wowhead:
What got you into working on games?
Andrew:
So when I was in middle school I was playing some video games at the time, I believe I was playing Guild Wars and World of Warcraft. I was playing Guild Wars more because it was free (laughs). I was playing one day and it dawned on me one day that the characters talking were actually people.
It clicked in my brain and I thought oh my gosh, someone is actually getting paid to do this.
And from that moment forward whenever I played games I approached it in the mindset of how cool would it be to do that. I started learning voices, I started learning impressions, and that's why I started in the theater — to kind of push into learning how to act. I have always had a passion for gaming I've played World of Warcraft since about 2005, off and on, of course, like everybody does.
Oh my gosh I love it. I've made so many alts, it's embarrassing.
Wowhead:
Do you even have a main?
Andrew:
I do have a main, a warrior was my main. A human warrior.
Wowhead:
Well, that's the wrong side!
Andrew:
I know, I know, (laughs) I apologize but I do both.
I like the Blood Elves, I love my Taurens, and I also love my Gnomes and I love my Humans and my Dwarves… I do have one of everything… you know the only one I don't have is a Troll.
Wowhead:
So how did you get the Kalec job? Is that something that came up or did you go after it?
Andrew:
It's very much a targeted, long history of of lots of work leading up to it. Working for Blizzard has always been a dream goal of mine, in any capacity. So whatever I could do to get into a game I would do.
