The Hardest Part About Playing GlaDOS Was Pretending To Be A Potato

Ellen McLain the voice of GlaDOS has just done an Ask Me Anything on Reddit, and it was actually pretty entertaining! She went over a number of topics including how her performance affected the writing of the second game, if she would be willing to be an announcer for DOTA 2! She also named her favourite line she delivered as GlaDOS!

Which was…

“Eating tofu and giving you good advice aren’t mutually exclusive.”

Brilliant.

On her performance affecting the writing of Portal 2…

I think that my work on Portal affected the writing for Portal 2. Erik and Jay and Chet realized what a bitch I am and they just played along.

The most difficult part about playing GlaDOS…

It was when I was a potato battery. They kept telling me I sounded too strong, I needed to sound weaker.

If you have a second jump across to Reddit and check it out. Ellen McClain is awesome.
