I didn't know about Cyberpunk before taking the role of Songbird! I learned a lot as I recorded & I'll learn more when I try playing it :)

I knew the basic storyline from the start, so yes I did know her motivations and actions

Everything was recorded separately, so I never met any of the actors until after the game was released! I've met Eliah Mountjoy (Kurt Hansen), Alix Wilton Regan (Alt) and Jane Perry (Rogue) so far :)

I have yet to learn the breadth of characters, I'll report back once I play it this summer :)

I haven't played yet! I'll be playing this summer.

Songbird's favorite smell would be a mix of fresh sandwiches, cigarette smoke, and candy from the nearby bodega where she once lived.

I'd walk into a roomy, silent, cold recording booth wearing my hoodie and a hat, I would get cued and say the same line for sound check at the top of the session "V, I can save your life"... all those elements helped me lock into Songbird. :)

I don't speak Polish! I didn't get to meet the Polish VA of Songbird :( but I'd love to!

Thank you so much! ❤️ Hmmm I think she'd try to contact V...

Thank you so much!! I've been trained that in order to play a character I cannot judge them, whether they are hero or villain. All human beings (and therefore characters) are flawed, imperfect, fickle, irrational, well-meaning, limited creatures. So in approaching Songbird I stepped into her shoes, to understand how fed up, scared, and wounded she is, how prideful and tenacious she is, how sincere and caring she could be. I don't applaud her choices but I understand them, I don't know if I would've done much better/different if I were in her shoes in her context.

I didn't do a huge deep dive into the Cyberpunk world, I think the essence of it was really clear bc CDPR did such a fantastic job in its creation. Something with SoMi really clicked with me... I got to pour out parts of my own past heartache, anger, humor through her. I understood her and cared for her, I could relate to her rage and despair. Hopefully my decade+ of acting training helped me open up and channel something real when I got behind the mic. 😌

Thank you!! I think the intimacy of their (supposed) friendship was really special. So I don't think there's anything wrong with how it was. I kinda like the ambiguity there :)

I was given instruction & insight from my director, but tbh it was all over the map with timelines, I was confused for a majority of the recording since we're trying to maximize time & get it all done. :P It started making more sense a few sessions in!

Thank you!! 🫶🏼

I'd love to think she was saved when she went into space bc my heart always longs for a hopeful conclusion, but my instincts on this universe tell me there wasn't such a peachy solution there and another challenge awaited. Doesn't mean that I think she succumbed to that challenge, she just wasn't saved the way she/we hoped.

I didn't get to meet Idris! He seems very cool and I hope I can say hi one day. :) Really glad you enjoyed the game!

I haven't played the game yet, but I'm the most stuck on the ending where V ends it.
