Maelle Actor Explains How Expedition 33 Changed Her Life

Charlotte Hoepffner, the performance capture actor of Maelle in Expedition 33, joins Behind The Voice Podcast and talks about her experience working on the game. This was her first video game role ever and she's genuinely surprised that video game acting can be so intense.

She describes what it was like working with Estelle & Maxence, which was overwhelming at first, but she became friends and now she's very comfortable working with them. She dives deep into the making of certain scenes and what each scene means to her.

Charlotte is truly brilliant and she lived her role as Maelle in the game. She has a plan of finally sitting down and playing the game and saying goodbye to the character.
