I don't know if I'm breaking some sort of forum rule here (I don't think I am, but I might be... I didn't read the fine print), but I thought I'd make a fan thread for Mina Taylor. Seeing as hers is one of the best, most convincing, voices I've EVER heard, in ANY game. A character I fell in love with immediately. So yeah, post all your comments (preferably positive ones) about Taylor here!
Disclaimer: I haven't played WiH (and I don't think I will until the VA is out for it), so I don't know if she's in it, but I do hope we get to see/hear her again!
-
Definitely not breaking any rules.
I'll point her at the thread.
-
Her "Hello Commander" is so dreamy :D

OMG, would you actually do that? Coz that would be awesome.

Agreeance to the extreme.
-
Who is this and who did she voice?
-
Mina Taylor is the name of the character, not the voice actress. She was Alpha 3 in Blue Planet: AoA. She was voiced by Kathleen Conahan.
-
Clearly I need to go back and play AoA...
-
I loved her moment as The Woobie during the first Earth mission. (Of course, I like Woobies in general so... >.>)
The voice actors (and dialogue writers) did an excellent job with both Corey and Taylor. Felt like I was actually flying in a wing with some people I'd really like to hang out with. Kudos. :)
-
I think I understand your general meaning, but what's a Woobie? Rofl.
And can someone tell me whether she's in WiH/ whether she's planned to be in other BP campaigns?
-
The Woobie (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheWoobie) is a character who elicits sympathy from the audience by suffering. The TVTropes page explains in more detail.

Kathleen here, I just got linked to this thread and now I'm blushing like a freakin schoolgirl. I'd never done any voice acting before AoA, so all this praise is kind of overwhelming... Thank you, seriously, I'm glad you think I added something good to the project. I had a lot of fun voicing Mina, especially the in-mission blurbs because I got to make those up :D Playing the game is pretty weird though, especially when I accidentally shoot Mina and she yells at me...
Thanks again, this means a lot to me.

I can tell you had a lot of fun voicing Mina. It seems you really managed to get into the character her to make her very convincing with your own interpretation.
-
I too loved the VA from both Corey and Taylor. I also figured out that because they are integral to the story, they are immortal. Always love immortal teammates in games :D
-
Corey's voice actor sounds just like Dominic Keating (Malcolm Reed, Star Trek: Enterprise).

:jaw: YOU'RE RIGHT! I knew I recognized the voice from somewhere. That makes x3 more awesome.

No, it is we who should be thanking you! As I mentioned somewhere in another thread, I wouldn't have liked the campaign half as much if it wasn't for the voice acting (yours particularly). So yeah, once again, brilliant job!
And yes, it would feel weird to have yourself shouting at you... lol!
Oh, and since that was your first post here:
:welcome:
-

Wait, so you came up with "Me and this Shivan need to start seeing other people"? That line has made me lol during more losing battles than I can count.
/me bows down to your awesomeness
-
Did you keep any out-takes?
I live for out-takes.
-
Outtakes rock :D
I thought, your VO was great, too :nod:
-
I kept alternates to a couple things, but most of the time when I didn't submit a recording it's because it SUCKED. I had more than a few "THIS is what I sound like when I'm agitated?! Why didn't anyone tell me?"
-
Taylor's voice acting was definitely one of the best parts of the campaign. Thank you so much! :D
-
Kathleen, are there any plans for Mina to reappear in future BP campaigns? Please say yes. :D
-
She's not a member of the team. As such, her knowledge of such things is limited.
-
Corey's voice actor sounds just like Dominic Keating (Malcolm Reed, Star Trek: Enterprise).
Thank you! I knew Corey sounded like someone I had heard before, I just couldn't quite place it. No wonder I always liked Corey's acting, I always liked Malcolm.
-

Just asking if she'd heard of anything. In that case, can I redirect that question to a member of the team? Or is that classified? :D
-
Classified!
And yes, "Me and this shivan need to start seeing other people" is possibly the most epic line in a computer game, ever.
-
Sadface. But yes, I agree about the line.
-
I would love to do more voice acting, but like The E said, I'm not involved in that way. If the opportunity to voice something in WiH arises, I will jump on it, make no mistake. I will jump on it so hard it'll leave a crater.
That was probably my favorite line too :D
-
Well, there are a few major roles that we can send your way. Once we've finished the script for them, that is.
-
I gather from that that Mina isn't scheduled to appear anytime soon, otherwise you'd be saving Kathleen's voice for her. But oh well. All good things must end someday. But it would be good to hear your voice again, in any role, Kathleen. You've got talent. Keep it up! :yes: :D
-
We're not saying Taylor, or Corey, or any of the others, won't make another appearance.
However, as you know, those characters didn't make an appearance in R1, as such, they don't have any lines.

If Taylor reappears there's no question; we'd have Kathleen voice her.

I shall live in hope. :)
Damn it, now I want to go and play BP instead of FREDding my missions.
