Looking at Felicia Day, you’d never guess that this petite redhead from Huntsville, Alabama, represents the single biggest threat to the global television industry. At just 29, this actress turned screenwriter and producer has created a gaming-oriented web series that has been watched more than a quarter of a billion times.
Her series, called The Guild, was made on the most shoestring of budgets. Speaking at the South by South West Interactive festival last month, Day chuckled as she recalled pilfering food from another set on which she was working at the time. Shot in her house, using borrowed equipment and her friends as cast members, the show epitomises the DIY spirit of a new generation of independent producers.
In 2007 Day was already a successful actress, with parts in shows such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and House, when she decided to use the spare time between acting gigs to write and produce her own series. Working from the age-old premise of “write what you know”, Day decided to create a series about online gamers.
A character's voice is a crucial part of their personality. Here are the best voice-acting performances in video games.
Christopher Judge as Kratos, Kevin Conroy as Batman, Sam Witwer Deacon St John, Jennifer Hale as female Commander Shepard, George Newbern as Sephiroth, John DiMaggio as Marcus Fenix,
Lots of good options. Batman and Joker are both great in the Arkham Games, Geralt if fantastic in the Witcher 3, so is Ciri, Fem-Shep in Mass Effect Trilogy, Nathan Drake.
That website is ass with its ads. At least don't take up the entire screen so I can read what you've wrote dip shits.
Forbes writes: "Forbes games contributor Todd Kenreck speaks with Felicia Day about why she believes diversity in movies, games and comic books is just a more honest take on reality. This is the second of seven videos featuring the geek made good. Stay tuned for a fresh video on Thursday when Day discusses how games helped Day find her people."

Felicia Day is a serial overachiever, the kind of person you might resent if she didn’t have such a disarmingly likeable manner. The 32-year-old actor, writer and producer created her own successful original web series The Guild (inspired by her obsession with World Of Warcraft), contributed voice acting to Fallout: New Vegas, and worked with BioWare to create a dramatic extension of the Dragon Age universe. Most recently, she's established herself as an author.
