JONELL
ELLIOTT THE VOICE OF LARA CROFT
How were you initially
coached when first recording for
The Angel Of Darkness. What tips
did you receive to portray the Lara
Croft character?
I was fortunate enough
to have the voice they were looking
for, and of course the first title
I was involved with - The Last Revelation
- featured Lara's 16 year old voice
which I was also capable of producing.
What aspect of
recording did you enjoy the most?
Interacting with all
other actors who played the other
various roles.
What aspect of
recording did you find the most
difficult?
There wasn't anything
in particular that I found difficult.
Do you have a particular
favourite Lara Croft catchphrase
or dialogue?
There are so many
great scenes and characters it's
too difficult to make a choice,
but I just love her quick wit and
sarcasm.
Where would you
like to see your Lara Croft outtakes?
They are all in a
secret vault somewhere, never to
be heard!
Do you want to
buy them back? :)
Not in my life time!!
If this was your
first voice-over project, would
you consider doing it again?
As you can see it's
not my first job, but I was delighted
to be offered the voice of Lara
Croft and wouldn't hesitate to do
it again. It has been a pleasure
working with Core Design, Eidos
and everyone else involved.
Have you recorded
for all three Tomb Raider The Angel
Of Darkness episodes or just the
Feb 2003 release? What do you think
of the "epic scale" storyline?
Well as you can imagine
I can't give too much away, needless
to say though - I don't think you've
heard the last of me yet!
Now you've finished
recording for Core Design, will
you be available for weddings, Bar
mitzvah's or premium rate telephone
work as the character of Lara Croft?
:)
That side of the business
is dealt with by my agent, but all
things are considered...
