Jennifer English joins Behind The Voice to talk about her iconic role as FemShep in Mass Effect trilogy, Jean in X-Men 97 and much more. She also shares her feelings towards AI and tells people to use AI and participate in AI because that's the future. She also opens up on the use of AI in games and with voice actors. She also talks about how singing was her original passion and how she did her first voice over role. It was incredible to know from the iconic actress who has worked on multiple projects, both video games and animated series. I also tried to get some more details on KOTOR Remake & X-Men 97 Season 2 but wasn't successful.

Erika Ishii, the actress of Atsu in Ghost of Yotei, joins Behind The Voice Podcast to share her honest reaction on being a part of this game. When I showed her some of the scenes from the game, she was unbelievable shocked at how good it was and also a bit shy as she was looking at herself and acknowledging that its her voice and her face. She also praised all the other actors involved like Feo Chin, Judy Alice Lee & Noshir Dalal.
