Jennifer English is no stranger to putting herself in other character's shoes, having had roles in everything from Elden Ring to Baldur's Gate 3, but she still had a tough time playing a dual role in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 because, well, it's a two-in-one type of gig.

"And even though [developer Sandfall interactive] did effects on my voice, [I had to] find a very different cadence, a different personality, essentially, while also keeping it true to that core soul," she added. "And I think I’m quite proud of that, actually, but also every scene with my amazing castmates, because they’re all iconic."
