You know, she’s not your typical female League champ, and I think that’s really cool. I know there’s been a lot of weird controversy over how she looks.
#Erica lindbeck how to
So that was an interesting choice, in terms of how to say the things she needs to say.
She’s inexperienced and young, but she has a wisdom not typical of girls her age. She’s definitely got her head on straight, but she doesn’t know everything. I think she’s interesting because she’s young, and she’s got that naivete, but she’s also very strong willed (and not in a naive way!) You know, I’m having trouble describing her– I actually had a lot of trouble with her at first! She was a very challenging character for me. They were just throwing all this stuff at me, and she was evolving as we were working on her, which I thought was really cool. Then a few months later I came back in, and they said “OK, so her character has changed.” You know, they go through iterations I think every champ goes through different iterations. We were still trying takes with and without accents, and they were still trying to find the character. I think it was in November, and we did a preliminary session. When I walked in and said “hi everybody,” casting liked my voice and asked me to use my natural voice for the audition.Ĭut to a few weeks later: I heard that I booked the part, and I was really excited. I don’t remember when I got the original script, but that hadn’t said that she had an accent, so I was completely unprepared. When I got to the audition, the script said that it needed an accent. I got there, and I realized it was with Riot, and I was like “OK! This is for League of Legends!” So I signed the NDA, and I got the script, and I had no idea what it was for. My agent sent me– they had me sign an NDA, and said “hey, do you want to go audition for this project?” Most of the time when I audition I just record in my house, but this one was at an actual studio. It would just consume my whole life if I tried to start playing it! I love anime, and I love videogames, and that’s kind-of how the path started.Ĭool! So how did you first encounter Taliyah? What was it like auditioning for this part? I really love videogames, but honestly I don’t play League of Legends. The thing that I’m most known for is probably that I do the voice for Barbie. I started doing anime and videogames, and now I’ve now I’ve started getting into more animation. Hi! My name is Erica Lindbeck, I do voice-over full-time, professionally. Erica gave us an inside scoop on the champion design process, and the unique challenges of being Taliyah!įor players who aren’t familiar with you or your work, who are you? We chatted with Taliyah’s voice actor Erica Lindbeck over the phone and online about Taliyah, working with Riot, and the voice-over (or “VO”) business.
