Welcome to the third and final part of my interview with the award-winning voice actress Sissy Jones.

You may be familiar with her voice acting work on games like The Walking Dead, Life is Strange,

where the water tastes like wine, and Firewatch, where she won a BAFTA Award for her performance

as Delilah. Sissy also works extensively in commercials and trailers.

In the previous episode, we discussed what inspired Sissy to become a voice actress in the first

place. While she had always loved cartoons, she also found herself fascinated by every aspect of

voiceover, and she fell in love with the voiceover world.

That passion inspired her to study as much as she could in order to improve her skills.

Sissy and I also talked about what it was like for her to work on the game Firewatch,

and what she learned from her co-star, Madman actor Rich Summer.

As we draw our conversation to a close, I ask Sissy what advice she has for aspiring voice actors.

I think you'll find that what she has to say is very grounded and practical.

She also speaks about how winning a BAFTA Award affected her career.

You may be surprised by her answer.
