Quote

Il faut être unique, mais entrer dans une case toute faite. Entrer dans une case mais être originale. Etre originale, mais pas marginale. Soigner son apparence, sans être objet sexuel. Séduire les hommes, en restant discrète. Ne pas castrer, ne pas se soumettre. Ne pas être salope, mais faire l'amour comme dans du porno. Nonne multiorgasmique. Etre drôle, mais pas clown. Etre maquillée, mais pas tarte. Soft mais sophistiquée. Naturelle mais sexy. Exubérante mais rasée comme un militaire. Etre mature, mais rester jeune. Rester jeune, mais pas gamine. Etre mince, mais avec des seins. Etre au fourneaux, et au régime. Bonne vivante, affamée. Avoir du caractère -ah, attention, là, c'est trop : vous êtes hystéro. Ne pas vouloir fonder une famille à tout prix, mais en fonder une quand même. Travailler quarante heures par semaine mais préparer des plats bio "maison". Etre une bonne mère, mais ne pas se perdre. Se perdre, c'est mal. Mais être une mauvaise mère, aussi. Vingt minutes par jour de yoga, mais toujours, toujours, garder le contrôle. C'est sûr, ça ne laisse pas beaucoup de place pour révolutionner le monde...

Highlights from the “Ladies of Overwatch” MomoCon panel

I don’t have any recording equipment, so I had to take notes by hand, but here are some elements that stood out to me from the panel.

The panel consisted of Jen Cohn (Pharah), Chloe Hollings (Widowmaker) and Elise Zhang (Mei).

Jen Cohn auditioned as a “Villainous Pharah” and her first official recording occurred on her birthday:

When she first auditioned to play the role that would become Pharah, Jen’s submitted voice was for a character she recalls being described as “villainous”. When she got the part, she was convinced that they’d gotten the wrong person, especially once she came in and saw what the staff (according to her, Kaplan, Chu and the casting director Andrea Toyias) had in mind for “Pharah”.

Also, her first recording session was on her birthday.

Elise Zhang originally auditioned for several characters before being cast as Mei:

Elise mentioned trying out for Mercy, Symmetra, Zarya and D.Va (all in Mandarin) before being cast as Mei.

She is also the current voice for Symmetra and Mei in Mandarin (I hadn’t realized this, though this was visible on the credits for the game in their respective languages).

Pharah was described to Jen Cohn as the “Captain America” of the game:

Not much to add here: the imagery is amusing, given where Pharah ended up lore-wise.

Chloe Hollings was originally cast when the French dubbing team for Overwatch noticed flaws in the American actress’s pronunciation of some French:

Chloe was originally contacted by the French dubbing team for the game when they thought she might be a better fit for the character than an American actress with a (admittedly very good) French accent: I’m curious if this means that the Widowmaker voice we heard during the earliest trailers was this original American actress.

Which of their character’s quotes do they use most often in real life?

Elise’s: Gõng xǐ fā cái! (Elise admitted that she doesn’t think she speaks often enough to decide easily)

Jen’s: “Play nice, play Pharah.” (When attempting to calm herself)

Chloe’s: “An annoyance.” (When confronting difficult people or situations)

How do they find their voice during recording sessions?

Jen found out how to establish Pharah’s tone easily, acquiring it in her first session: she described an anecdote where her college advisor told her that she had “too much butter, not enough bread”; she thinks that the director did a good job at “spotting the bread under the butter” and helped her get settled.

Chloe had a much more difficult time; in her own words, it was like trying to record with “No shame”, as if in a perfume commercial, and she needed to lower her voice more than she was initially comfortable with.

I wasn’t able to record Elise’s response, unfortunately.

When did they first see what their character looked like?

Jen saw Pharah’s model right as she entered her first recording session: she was most struck by the blue armor.

Chloe first saw Widowmaker’s look when she was recording the “Alive” short.

Elise only saw Mei once the game released. Whoops.

What’s their favorite quote from their character?

A common question, but the responses were somewhat unexpected.

Jen: “Aerial superiority achieved.” Or “I’ve got you on my radar.”

Chloe: “ Personne n'échappe à mon regard.” (Amusingly, what I said to her to demonstrate my French accent at her request when getting her autograph).

Elise: “Freeze! Don’t move!” (She couldn’t decide, and settled on this)

What would their character order at a Starbucks?

Jen: Double espresso

Widowmaker: A cup of ice.

Elise: Any cold drink (Originally, she thought the question was asking for her personal preference, and she chose “sandwiches”)

How long are their average recording sessions?

Jen usually records for four-hour chunks, and uses the entire allotted time.

Chloe records for three-hour chunks in the evenings (6 to 9 p.m. Paris time).

Elise has the largest workload: Recording Mei in English usually takes 3 hours (she records from Shanghai), while she needs another 3 hours to record Mandarin Symmetra. Mandarin Mei usually doesn’t take as long. For her cinematic, she needed four or five three-hour sessions.

They know as much as we do about what’s planned for their character:

They record lines for events (such as voice lines from loot boxes) ahead of time, but usually don’t have the context to realize that it’s for an upcoming event. Unless they’re recording a cinematic that’s in development, they don’t have any information on their character’s arc that we as players don’t, so any statements they make about characters arcs, relationships and other future lore plans should be judged appropriately.

Incidentally, Jen mentioned that at Blizzcon, she begged the writer for the animated shorts to give Pharah one, but he said he had “already worked on one.” Jen herself isn’t sure if this means he tried working on one and then abandoned it or if one’s in development: if she knew anything that we didn’t, she didn’t saw.

How would their character react to finding out that someone they know is going through a rough time?

Elise: “I love you.” (She hesitated for a bit before answering)

Jen: “I will protect the innocent!”

Chloe: “Get over it.” Or nothing. Or Widowmaker would shoot whatever was causing the problem.

If they could have any power that their character has, what would they choose?

Jen: (After an enormous eyebrow quirk) “Flight!” (I guess we’re counting Pharah’s suit as a power)

Elise: Freezing herself for protection.

Chloe: Having no remorse and being certain that she was taking the correct course of action.

What do they have most in common with their character?

Jen: “Mother issues.” (Quickly amended to say “Mom if you’re watching this, that’s not true.”)

Chloe: Seeking pleasure and passion from everything she does, even as she cuts herself off from her emotions.

Elise: Not liking bullies and not being slim (greeted with a chorus of “awwwws”)

What was their first acting role?

Jen: As Wendy from Peter Pan when she was about five years old, give or take: she remembers needing to improvise a prayer as she walked the plank, and realizing after the audience responded positively that she enjoyed this work.

Chloe: As the solo actor for a one-person German play about suicide, where the lead character counts down from 1000 and stops along the way to talk about the meaninglessness of life. (I wasn’t able to find out what play this is, so if anyone knows, hit me up)

Elise: I wasn’t able to catch her answer in full, but after graduating with a degree in chemical technology(!), she acquired a lead role in a film (she didn’t specify if it was voice or full-body acting) and then continued her acting career.

What’s their favorite part of voice acting their character?

Elise: It gives her a chance to “be cute” and talk more than she normally does.

Chloe: She gets the opportunity to create Widowmaker as she goes, finding out more and more about this character the more experienced she gets with playing her.

Jen: Being able to play a female hero who’s pragmatic, unapologetically powerful and who has significant integrity.

If they could cosplay as their character, how would they do so?

Chloe: “I’d need to be taller.”

Elise: As Pajamei.

Jen: She’d replicate Pharah’s outfit with leather.

What’s their favorite skin for their character?

Elise: She wasn’t able to decide: she went with Beekeeper, Pajamei, Ecopoint: Antarctica, Luna/Chang’e and Jiangshi.

Jen: Mechaqueen.

Chloe: Odile.

What would their character’s everyday fashion experience/fashion sense be (i.e. what would they wear in public)?

Jen: Wifebeaters+jeans, motorcycle or leather jacket.

Elise: Chinese scientists have no fashion sense. (the asker, an audience member, was a Chinese scientist who jokingly took offense)

Chloe: Widowmaker is already wearing what she’d, say, go to the grocery store in. (I’m assuming she means Widowmaker’s classic skin).

Which Overwatch character, besides their own, would their character most like to hang out with?

Elise: Winston! He and Mei could do calculations!

Chloe: Zarya, if for no other reason that Widowmaker would be able to hug Zarya like “Big fuzzy Siberian bear”.

Jen: Junkrat and Roadhog: they’d wreck stuff!

Which Overwatch character is their character’s best friend?

Chloe: Widowmaker or Doomfist (she mentions that the latter looks powerful with Widowmaker).

Elise: Symmetra

Jen: “Pharah has a thing for German doctors.” (Crowd went pretty wild: @pharah should have footage of this.)

All in all, an informative panel, at least when it came to the lives of the actresses themselves. I’m curious as to what we would have been able to learn if the event hadn’t started twenty minutes late.
