Have you ever been playing a game when you hear a new character speaking and it clicks. “I know t🦂hat voice!”, you say. Claudia Black is the epitome of instantly-recognisable voice acting talent in the gaming sphere.
Playing multiple characters across a huge r💃ange of TV shows and movies, Claudia moved her deep, resonant voice acting talent over to 🍌video games. Her first voice acting appearance came in Farscape: The Game in 2002 (reprising her acting role as Aeryn Sun in the original TV show).
Over the next two decades, Claudia Black has appeared in multiple blockbuster AAA titles. From voicing characters alongside the likes of John Goodman and Nolan North in Rage, to playing a 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:certain well-known mage in the Dragon🐼 Age series…
10 Tess Everis - Destiny Series 💦
In Destiny and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Destiny 2, you’ll find Claudia Black&rsꩲquo;s voice through the character of Tess Everis, an Awoken merchant who runs the Eververse Trading Company. Added in as an update to the o💧nline-only Destiny game on October 13, 2015, Tess is an NPC who sells emotes in exchange for the in-game currency Silver.
While this is another relatively small part, Claudia Black voices Tess alongside other notable voice actors, including John DiMaggio (who voices Banshee-44) and Peter Dinklage (who originally voiced the NPC Ghost bef﷽ore being replaced by Nolan North).
9 Helena - Crysis ♈
In Crysis, a 2007 FPS game based in the fictional Lingshan Islands off the coast of the Philippines, players don nanosuits built by the US Military to take down a race of evil organisms known as the Ceph. Helena Rosenthal, voiced by Claudia Black, is the doctor’s daughter who raises the alarm that the islands are being seemingly invaded by North Koreans.
The rest of the game follows Helena and your characters’ attempts to ꧒thwart the Ceph and endure the alien onslaught. They eventually escape from the islands after launching a nuclear missile attack to take the Ceph down.
8 Marwen - Middle-Earth: Shadow Of Mor🅠dor
Queen Marwen was a relatively minor part in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Middle-Earth: Shadow Of Mordor, released in 2014, but Claudia Black’s voice acting talents made the role all the more impactful. Leader of the Tribesmen of Núrn, a kingdom of sea raiders south of Mordor, players meet the Queen looking worse-for-wear in 🗹a very weakened state.
It later transpires that Marwen has been possessed by Saruman and forced to do his bidding. It's implied that Marwen and her daughter Lithariel met a grisly end after an attack from the Black Hand of Sauron later in the game.
7 💖 Cydaea - Diablo 3
In this 2012 hack-and-slash action RPG, Claudia Black lends her seductive voice to Cydaea, taking the form of a giant mutant spider. Cydaea is best known for her boss battle in the Tower of the Cursed during the third act of Diablo 3, taunting players while dangling from a spider web above them.
Originally called the ‘Mistreꩲss of Pain’, the character was actually removed during the game’s development, but re-added to the game after positive reviews from the fanbase. And to think we almost missed out on this amazing performance!
6 Whitney Chang - The Amazing Spider-🐼Man༒
Claudia Black entered into the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Marvel Universe in 2012 with her role as Whitney Chang, a New York investigative reporter who enlists Spiderman’s help to take down Oscorp. Together, they work to investigate Oscorp’s unusual and suspicious activities in the city, and save the day in true Marvel form.
From discovering the controversial scientific experiments undertaken in the Oscorp compound, to casually flirting with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Spiderman every step of the way, we love Claudia Black’s personal twist on the usual ‘journalist’ trope꧑ found in many other stories in the genre.
5 Audrey “Mac🐽” MaCallum - Call Of Duty: Infinite Warfare
Anyone who’s ever played 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Infinite Warfare will be able to recognise Claudia Black’s voice in a heartbeat. She voices the part of Mac in this 2016 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Activision FPS game, an ally and Chief Engineer of the Retribution central hub spaceship.
Set in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:outer space w🌊ith zero-g♐ravity gameplay mechanics, players join the Retribution crew to survive against the odds against the story’s main antagonist, Rear Admiral Salen Kotch (voiced by 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Game of Thrones sta🌌r Kit Harington). Mac sacrifices herself in a robot ambush to 𝄹save the rest of the surviving crew members.
4 🌳 Admiral Daro’Xen Vas Moreh - Mass Effect Series
Having originally voiced Morrigan for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon Age: Origins a year earlier, Claudia Black was no stranger to Bioware when she lended her voice to Admiral Daro&rsq𓃲uo;Xen for Mass Effect 2 in 2010. As a cold, calculating and seemingly emotionless member of the quarian Admiralty Board, players will encounter her in both Mass Effect 2 a🍷nd 3.
As if one character wasn’t enough, Claudia Black also voices two other characters in the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Mass Effect franchise: Matriarch Aethyta, the Eternity lounge bartender on Illium, as well as an unn🔯amed envoy of Queen Rachni.
3 Sam♓antha Byrne - Gears Of War Series ༺
Appearing as Samantha “Sam” Bryne, Claudia Black features in both 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Gears of War 3 in 2011 and Gears of War 4 in 2016. During her brash and forceful voice performance, Claudia turns Sam’s Australian accent up to the max, and packs a punch with cursing and general smack-talking that fans love to this day.
Sam Byrne forms one of the Delta Squad in Gears of War 3, who usually join players in 4-player cooperative missions to fight against the Lambent to save humanity. She returns in the fourth installment of the series (in a full-bl🗹own rela🥃tionship with comrade Damon Baird) to assist in a raid against the Swarm.

Chloe Frazer plays a badass romantic interest for Nathan Drake, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Uncharted’s main protagonist voiced by Nolan North, and in Uncharted 2 and 3 (an💧d briefly referred to in Uncharted 4 from events preceding the game’s main story). She is also the main protagonist in Uncharted: The Lost Legacy.
Hailed by fans for her wit, independence, and devious nature, Chloe Frazer acts as a foil to Nathan and to romantic rival Elena Fisher. She is also lauded by fans for her for📖ward flirtatious behavior, ൩and impulsive sexuality.
1 🦹 ❀ Morrigan - Dragon Age Series
As huge 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon Age fans, we had to save our favorite until last. Morrigan is a staple and much-loved character in the Dragon Age series, first appe♈aring in 2009’s Dragon Age Origins as a mysterious mage in the Korcari Wilds and daughter of the ‘Witch of the Wilds’ Flemeth, and returning in 2014’s Dragon Age Inquisition.
According to Activision’s lead writer David Gaider during Dragon Age Origins’ development, Morrigan was originally intended to have a Persian accent, but after a few disastrous auditions, the idea was scrapped. Players and fans alike are quietly relieved that wasn’t the case (168澳洲幸运5开奖网:with plenty of memes to prove it), or we would 🍃have missed out on a fantastic character in Morrꦜigan and voice performance from Claudia Black.
