The "No" wasn't actually Shelley Blond. It was recorded by a member of the Core staff before Blond was hired.

Shelley Blond is beautful and she has a such a lovely voice. She is my favorite Lara.

something interesting about shelley and lara is that back in 1996 in her debut game Lara was 26, the same age of shelley at the time!

[@ComicConNews]

Thank you for the interesting information , do you have more? I am editing the new interview that I did with Shelley Blond early this year, Thanks

Peep show ❤

[@galaxymaster]

this woman is my childhood and my hero. I loved the games so much and her voice made Lara truly special

[@FakeGilderGames]

The T Rex in 1 scared us loads as kids, I remember the instant pause and hiding behind the couch with my sister, like genuine fear, it was so good! Best voices of the Tomb Raiders in my opinion, thank you and the team for these classics!

[@redbaron9029]

I almost fell from my chair when I first heard the doberman pinscher while playing TR2 at 2am in the morning.!

[@Xiox321]

Yea that Trex was terrifying, my brother and I would literally just play it up to that point and then restart the game from the beginning.

[@FakeGilderGames]

@@Xiox321 we always wanted to progress, the T-Rex made us move more slow throughout the game, I know loads have said already, but the low poly and the older sounds are more creepy and iconic I feel. The team knew what they where doing

[@FakeGilderGames]

@@redbaron9029 We where more cautious due to their bites taking like 1/4 of your HP, almost bite like a T-Rex.

[@Hunter-ib9ks]

@@redbaron9029 ok but did you get to the yeti part.... omg

[@InjusticeJosh]

5 hours and she’s probably my fav voice from the classic games. (Jonell Elliott did a solid job capturing her charm as well). Also she was only in the first game but her scream carried over to the others lol.

[@ShadowBanned-o_O]

"Pierre.. (tisk). You litterbug."

[@tomspence8506]

LOL! That was when she found the empty baked beans tin outside of St Francis Folly. That cutscene was SOOOO OK funny however Keeley Hawes who voiced Lara in TR Legend, TR Anniversary and TR Underworld repeated the same line slightly differently in a more sarcastic tone saying "oh Pierre you litter bug" without the tisk in Tomb Raider Anniversary, only because the line was delivered in a different tone to Shelly's delivery on the line, and the fact that the baked bean tin was replaced by some fizzy drinks cans actually made the scene less funny in my opinion!

[@buckchoppers2480]

Definitely my favourite of Lara's many voices over the years.

[@d1jal]

Via a jpeg...oh god she’s adorable.

[@Dustie1984]

@Brian Winter lmao no she probably confused it with mpeg3/mp3 for audio. back in the 90s you only had analog tape recorders available, at least for the average consumer

[@bodrum3605]

@@Dustie1984 thanks, it makes sense now, you solved the mystery, i was thinking how she mixed wav or mp3 with jpeg but as you said probably it was mpeg3.

[@astrius4125]

@@Dustie1984 I don't think she confused anything, it was probably a joke

[@gutz1981]

I can see now why she has not made another voice over job for another Tomb Raider since. "I have been sending jpgs to everyone for voice over work and getting no callbacks. Why do they not call me?" Ummmmm....

[@BavarianM]

@@Dustie1984 bullshit Digital had been around for a few years back then They could record to DAT (Digital Audio Tape) or Minidisc

[@TheInterplayer]

I started playing TR2 right after I finished the first one. I was disappointed when I realized they had changed Lara's voice actress. I mean, I like Judith Gibbins' voice, she did a great job. But the voice of the first Lara will forever remain in my heart

[@princeoffriendship]

I wanted to hear some of her vocal reactions like when she pushes that big cube or hitting herself onto a wall, getting bitten or the "aha" when she picks up something! Those are the iconic lines!

[@LJComposer]

I think the "aha" came from Judith.

[@osamus1796]

Yes aha was done by Judith

[@federicao4609]

Instant joy when i hear her voice. I love Lara 👍💗

Best Lara Croft in Tomb Raider games

[@matthewwattsart]

Since they are making the new game to take place after the classics, they should bring her back to voice Lara.

[@apryoutube]

Hey mam your voice is really an important part of tomb raider series i feel like it was you who was destined to be that voice, Thanks and look forward in future lara games

[@skycloud4802]

I'm guessing that's what happens when you look after your body. A lot of people I know that look great into their 50s tend to lead very healthy lifestyles, ie don't smoke, drink, eat clean, watch their weight, exercise etc.

[@KP-48-007]

damn, still would

[@1977TA]

Besides living a healthy lifestyle some people are blessed with genetics that allow them to look younger than their age. Actors Ralph Macchio (Karate Kid) and William Shatner (Star Trek) are some of the best examples of people born with the genetic fountain of youth.

[@darkestfugue]

I played the first game the most and hearing this voice again gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside, i remember my disappointment booting up tomb raider 2 the day i got it going into the trainihg level and it wasnt her voice, it was a good sequel but i really missed that voice

[@AaronH9111]

I loved her voice as the original Lara and always wanted to know why didn't she voice Lara in any of the other Tomb Raider games ??

[@crazyrazor664]

she was working on a different project, i heard they offered the job to her first, but she could not accept

[@darthkahn45]

Unpopular opinion. Her natural speaking voice would make a 100x better Lara. Its perfect.

[@skycloud4802]

I don't know if it would be a better Lara tone, but I do think it makes for a much better warm conversationalist. I could chat to her for hours, but Lara not so much.

[@thegirlstrikesback]

I just wish Legend and Anniversary got way more love by the company and community alike. The soundtrack to Legend was phenomenal! It was like pink lemonade in a desert. It was a nice balance of classic and streamlined. A perfect place for beginners.

[@Ameersuhail]

Tomb Raider Legend is the best written and composed game in the series in my opinion. The script is very sharp and witty and the voice acting is simply phenomenal (though it's done by a different actress, Keeley Hawes)

Guy meets girl in 1996: "So how does a man get you to fancy him?" Girl: "It's hard to say exactly but you seem to be doing fine." And then it goes on from there as both turned out to be fans.

[@mopbrothers]

Wow this woman did the voice for only one Tomb Raider game. I wonder why they went with a different voice actress in Tomb Raider 2?

[@ComicConNews]

in a 2016 retrospective interview Shelley said that she was asked to reprise her role but had to decline due to other commitments. She gave permission for her effort voice work to be reused while the character's dialogue would be voiced by Judith Gibbins.
