Interview with Actress Hannah Cabell

I caught up with one of my favorite actresses, Hannah Cabell.  Those of you who recently played the game 'Homefront' will recognize her as the empowering voice of Rianna.  Here is what Hannah had to say about being a voice over actress in the video game industry.

How did you get your first SAG/AFTRA voice acting job for video games?

Hannah: I have actually only worked under AFTRA contracts for video games - I don't know if it's a recent change, but in my experience AFTRA handles more of the interactive media side of the business. My first job was for 'Grand Theft Auto - The Ballad of Gay Tony'. I got that from an audition; Rock Star had me in for both vo and motion capture, but ended up hiring me just for the vo part of it.

Review: Fable 3

The Fable franchise consistent increased focus on strong writing has given voiceover actors scripts filled with nuance, and Fable 3 is no different. With next-gen graphics that enabled developers at Lionhead Studios to tap into the subtle communication of body language the Fable franchise pioneered game characters that emoted in a way was without equal.

In Fable 3, you play as one of the two children by the hero from Fable 2.  All the good and prosperity your father achieved in Fable 2, has turned into an evil dystopia in Fable 3.  In this sequel, it is your job to restore order  and reunite the kingdom of Albion under the forces of good.
