Nightsong Actress Helen Keeley Talks About Baldur's Gate 3 | Behind The Voice

[@m.richman3486]

"Excuse me warrior, but I have a darling to adore" was one the funnies lines for me in the game

[@BehindTheVoicePod]

hahaha I know right!

[@marcc1830]

Helen did a great job. Nightsong's anger is kind of unhinged and scary at time. For me, Dame Aylin is more intimidating than the Dead Three's chosen. For my first playthrough, my character is kind of neutral when I started and picked all the good choice later on, in my head canon, the guy was so scared of Aylin that he picked all the good choices. He would rather face down the Dead Three just so he won't go back to camp and face Nightsong's wrath 😅

[@BehindTheVoicePod]

WOW that's insane! She is pretty scary at times , like I don't wanna be on her wrong side

[@maikbaumann1250]

@@BehindTheVoicePod ye its nice too see a lawfull good charakter can be a menacing badass and not the tame goody two shoes hero we see everywhere.

[@theKonfusion]

Nightsong release scene is my favorite scene from this game. It's glorious.

[@BehindTheVoicePod]

It is so well done and I had goosebumps all over

[@AFgleek]

Dame Aylin is probably my favorite non party character in the game and I've been hoping we'd get some behind the scenes content about how she came together. Thanks to you and Helen for the interview!

[@BehindTheVoicePod]

Thank you very much for watching this!

[@deptusmechanikus7362]

My only complaint about Aelyn's content is that my Selunite Cleric Paladin still looks horrified when Dame Aelyn wrecks people in cutscenes. If anything, my Tav would be ecstatic to witness that, like "FUCK YES!!!! SMITE THEM ALL IN THE NAME OF THE MOONMAIDEN!"

[@Sully365]

i had the same reaction. my TAV would dfinitely not be recoiling from the Great Dame. Revel in it, bask in the glow...definitely not recoil

[@vervvyk]

Aylin going completely apeshit on Ketheric's head was one of the most satisfying things ever.

[@BehindTheVoicePod]

Oh yaa it was soo good. I was cheering!

[@PedalPlayhouse]

Oh yea that was amazing and how shocked Tav is by that sudden attacking of his body with such passionate unbridled rage. Which really was an Authentic reaction.

[@kooka12345]

Dame Aylin is my favorite character in BG3-every line she delivers is memorable. Helen's voice acting is phenomenal.

[@BehindTheVoicePod]

Yaa every single line of hers is amazing

[@dubuissonldv9610]

I am soo glad you interviewed Helen Keeley!! Nightsong is my absolute favourite NPC

[@BehindTheVoicePod]

Thank you so much for watching! Nightsong is def someone I enjoyed , her story was so amazing

[@BlooFinguhz]

I agree, she deserves a game on her own, fantastic character and acting!

[@davidkozin]

My favorite and most emotional cinematic scene has much to do with her acting.

[@arjunkishore4080]

Her release scene is one of my favorite scenes in gaming history, and is among the best reveals in my 10ish years playing dnd. My favorite Aylin line is when she gets freed. The music and her performance is so perfect. Also love the character because my current pc in descent into Avernus is also a child of the moon maiden Selune

[@BehindTheVoicePod]

Right! That music was soo good that it gave me goosebumps!

[@vincentkeith5259]

Far and away my favorite character in the game. Such intensity. Amazing voice acting.

[@BehindTheVoicePod]

Oh yaa she has done an excellent job

[@carlosh9476]

My favorite performance. I usually find this “over the top” dialogue in gaming silly, but man she KILLLED IT

[@Thurrak]

I loved Dame Aylin in the game! Such a great character. Well done Helen!

[@BehindTheVoicePod]

She is awesome!

[@88Atwood88]

​@@BehindTheVoicePodwill you be able to interview Mia Foo (Isobel?)❤

[@BehindTheVoicePod]

@@88Atwood88 can't really do any promises but I can def try

[@drangelice]

Inarguably my favourite character from the game and one of my favourite characters in awhile. Her energy is always 110%, Keeley's delivery is constantly infallible. The reveal of who she was and after you free her is a brilliant moment and one of the top gaming moments. Seeing the white fire and corpses on the approach to the tower, seeing her blitz across the sky, amazing. Plus, her deep true love for Isobel reminds me of classic medieval love, of knights and heros who return from their journey atop a might steed wanting to only see their love. I loved when the two of them joined my camp, they truly felt like part of the team. My favourite delivery of hers "oho, face us charlatan, we who detest you so!" Felt so cathartic. Rolan, Aylin and I standing united against just a terrible guy. Even though the quality of Act 3 is a big dip, I'll always remember that moment as a highlight.

[@BehindTheVoicePod]

@@drangelice yaa it's so cool that some of the best moments of this game is with Dame Aylin. I'll always remember that moment when you set her free. You immediately feel a connection

[@natewoods4566]

It's crazy to think about her recording the scenes with Isobel without being in the same room. Making that work might be the most impressive part tbh. I wonder if the two actors have ever even met.

[@BehindTheVoicePod]

That's the thing about BG3. Most of the time , all the actors had to record separately and either record after listening to the other actor's recorded lines or the director giving them the lines

[@natewoods4566]

Imagine having a famous romance with a person you've never met

[@ChloetheGaymer]

I love Aylin so much

[@BehindTheVoicePod]

Me too!

[@88Atwood88]

Aylin is legit so talented, there isn't a line that she did that she failed. All brilliant, the feeling is there 100% ! Helen you are fabulous ❤ At times I wish I could have snatched your character from Isobel 😂

[@RussianDeathstroke]

Her relationship with isobel was heartwarming and fun to watch… but I would’ve left whoever I was romancing at the time in a second if Dame was a romance option.

[@BehindTheVoicePod]

She really loves Isobel and it shows how different she sounds when she is around

I loved the her performance so much. You FEEL her power in how she stands and carries herself. And her voice OH MY GOD

[@BehindTheVoicePod]

Oh yaa all her moments are so powerful

[@GabbyPlaysGames02]

Freeing the Nightsong is easily the best scene in Act 2 and one of the best in the entire game. I quite literally had tears in my eyes. After such a depressing chapter in the story, seeing pure divinity was so uplifting. “Lay a hand on me in friendship, not-quite Sharran, and I will fight the battle that has been waiting for me this last century. Then-oh then, we will have much to discuss” is also one of my favorite lines in the entire game. Just how Aylin knows that Shadowheart isn’t nearly as heartless as she pretends to be, but is also fighting back the rage from a century of torment at Sharran hands…best supporting character in the entire game. Also I will always take her to Lorroakan to watch that puny pathetic wizard get his spine snapped in half like a toothpick. Really don’t know what he was expecting to happen. Helen’s voice perfectly captured the character: commanding and powerful, yet noble and kind at the same time.

[@BehindTheVoicePod]

Exactly my thoughts. That scene of Aylin being free finally is really amazing. As I said in the episode, I love dramatic moments and this one was that. Helen is so amazing and her performance for this character was brilliant

[@ll9595]

I was trying to romance Shadowheart, but when we met dame Aylin... so beautiful, powerful and amazing, I was ready to put Shadowheart down if she were to attempt to hurt that beauty despite my warnings not to do so.

[@BehindTheVoicePod]

hahah this is awesome

[@NeverUseAnApostrophe]

Interviewers and their questions for Dame Aylin: hedonistic, lexical, fun.

[@lledelwin]

Again, a great interview and a nice discovery of the person who give so much power to the resplendent and indomitable dame Aylin ! Lorroakan broken on her kneel is soooo catartic ! ...and the stomping of Ketteric skul is so fringtening ! Never at ease when I spoke to her in my camp, she could learn Tav how to flight with a single slap on the shoulder.

[@BehindTheVoicePod]

Well she is quite intimidating and if I learned anything , it's that you should not be on the other side

[@lledelwin]

@@BehindTheVoicePod oooooh yeah, I've learn that too : 1st round, misty step, she's free. 2nd round, that son of a squid of illithid controls her. Ouch. First kill : in my team.

Begone friend! I have a darling to adore!

[@davidkozin]

The physical movement as she is on the ground and breathing up and down and her body is breathing heavy and it was such great physical acting… it is a small detail but really adds so much to Nightsong before slamming into the ground. It is great to hear how she was thoughtful about these parts. So much respect for the team involved with her motion and voice capture.

[@BehindTheVoicePod]

Oh yeaa man! Absolute respect to the entire team!

I dont think a character in a video ever scared me like Dame Aylin did when she said she was going to murder me, my children and my children’s children. She had such hatred in her voice.
