JONELL ELLIOT 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...
