83s | Hello, how are you? |
---|---|
84s | My name is Andre, and I'm the actress |
87s | behind the voice of Illari, the last daughter of the sun. |
95s | The sun rises! |
99s | I recorded Illari's voice in English and in Spanish and Quechua. |
104s | Right now, we're in the house of criollo culture, a museum house, |
109s | and I really like this place, because it represents |
113s | the culture in which I was born, |
116s | I was born and raised here in Lima, Peru, in the capital. |
119s | Blizzard was looking for an actress |
122s | that could voice her in both languages. |
125s | I speak fluent English, and also |
128s | well, Castilian Spanish, my mother language, |
132s | so I had the opportunity to be chosen for the role of Illari |
137s | because I had the flexibility of speaking both languages |
141s | and of course, to speak Quechua as well |
145s | to contribute to the character and give the Peruvian representation |
150s | to the world of Overwatch 2. |
151s | To me, it's important to give visibility to the Quechua language, |
154s | because in Peru there are different Quechuas, |
157s | there are more than 14 types of Quechua around the country. |
161s | So it was really cool to find small details of Peruvian culture |
166s | not only in the voice, but in the outfits. |
169s | I could recognize the shape of the Tumi in Illari's weapon, |
173s | which is a ceremonial knife used in Inca culture. |
280s | For a videogame with such a huge reach |
283s | and as popular as Overwatch |
285s | to have the representation of being able to use Quechua |
288s | for a hero, and to be received so beautifully, |
294s | it means a lot, at least to me as a Peruvian, it means a huge deal. |
297s | It's part of my identity, |
299s | and now I can see it reflected in a superhero as Illari. |
303s | A message in Quechua: |
306s | Hello dear friends, my name is Andre, |
308s | I'm a Peruvian singer and I'm the voice actress for Illari, |
311s | the support hero for the game Overwatch 2, by Blizzard. |
