Milly's work in BG3 is beyond compare. The skill needed to deliver the Narrator is something people greatly underestimate.
Larger than life characters give you a lot to work with but being natural and subtle for 200hrs... a masterclass in performance.
Could not be prouder.

I just got offered £180 for 4hrs work in London to help train an

I've long failed to understand the cult like devotion to a family that's a relic of the past, who's history is built on blood, violence and theft. It's nice to see it getting questioned more in public.

Milly up for the first of what should be many awards for her role as the Narrator (if there's any justice in the world).
17 different narration styles, requiring subtlety, deftness and a mastery of voice and acting craft.
Go give her your vote!
OH.

I never expected my role in Baldur's Gate 3 to get an awards nod and I'm up against some big names so if you'd be willing to drop me a vote that'd blow my tiny mind. 💜

Questions the amateur VO's that go for this should be asking:
$2 a line - how long's a line, multiple takes?
Re-takes - Paid?
Session - Self-record / directed?
Usage - Online, pitch, internal only?
Rights - If this gets sold to Netflix, what do the VAs get?
Protect yourselves!
