Cissy Jones is a voice actor for videogames. While perhaps best known for her BAFTA-winning role as Delilah in Firewatch, she’s also been cast in Telltale’s The Walking Dead adaptation, the Dishonored series, and Life Is Strange, in which she voiced Chloe Price’s waitress mother, Joyce. A former Silicon Valley operative, here she tells us how she moved from the boardroom to the sound booth.
How did you get into voice acting?
I used to work in corporate in Silicon Valley for ten years – venture capital firms, startup companies – and I hated it. I just always felt like there was something else out there. Then I was listening to the radio one morning and I heard Nancy Cartwright [the voice of Bart Simpson] talking about what a great job voiceover was. She mentioned a nearby school, and I started taking classes that week. Two years later, I was able to get out of corporate!
Did you always intend to work in games specifically?

René Rother’s acrid revenge thriller – an action game with its limbs broken and forcibly rearranged into the shape of a spatial puzzler – is at once a bonafide original and an unlikely throwback. Cast your eyes right and you wouldn’t blink if we told you this was a forgotten Grasshopper Manufacture game from the early PS3 era (we won’t be at all surprised if this finds a spot on Suda51’s end-of-year list).

The road from Vernworth to Bakbattahl is scenic but arduous. Ignore the dawdling mobs of goblins, and duck beneath the chanting harpies that circle on the currents overhead, and even moving at a hurried clip it is impossible for a party of four to complete the journey by nightfall.
