The favorite Meryl moments of voice actress Debi Mae West
During IGN’s Up At Noon, Debi Mae West (voice actress for Meryl Sylverburgh) shared her favorite Metal Gear moments involving Meryl.
Her favorite part is the scene in Metal Gear Solid when Meryl reflects on herself, looking in the bathroom mirror.
“It’s just a really quiet moment. (…) I never was asked to do that kind of acting in a video game before. (…) Here I am, this tough, badass soldier, and I got to show some vulnerability. (…) That probably was when I realized as an actor that they were taking this to a whole other level.”
Another memorable moment for the actress was when Snake and Meryl meet up again in Metal Gear Solid 4, and she doesn’t recognize him at first.
“Just being able to meet back up with David in the studio and work together again, it was really amazing.”
Getting married at the end of Metal Gear Solid 4 was also a special moment for her.
“I watched my marriage a couple of months ago (…) Wearing my one and only wedding dress in my life. (…) So I got to get married to Beng Spies [Akiba’s voice actor]. I mean, who wouldn’t want to marry him?”
Lastly, the scene of Snake and Meryl riding off on the snowmobile at the end of MGS1 stuck with her.
“One of my favorite moments was riding off on the Bison – if I didn’t get killed. (…) I got to ride off on the Bison with Snake, and that was a funny moment in recording it.”
what does she mean by Bison? Is that the name of the snowmobile or is she misremembering? From what I can tell, Bison (besides the animal) only refers to the large snow plowing vehicle: http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://en.prinoth.com/var/ezwebin_site_clean/storage/images/prinoth/worldwide/hauptnavigation/pistenfahrzeuge/bison-bison-x/bison-x/123639-1-ger-DE/Bild_header_pos_large.jpg&imgrefurl=http://en.prinoth.com/Snow-Groomers/Bison-Bison-X&h=496&w=952&sz=108&tbnid=pQv_nwAQO4xgCM:&tbnh=90&tbnw=173&zoom=1&usg=__SKOskXdKy1VqcfdYBKOTb_r39OA=&docid=R1BdPOZjSl23UM&sa=X&ei=0WtAUr6uCoiC8gSe5oCABw&ved=0CGMQ9QEwBw&dur=701
Yeah that scene made a real big impression on her! Right up there with doing the laundry that week.
I assume she calls those snow mobiles Bisons, not sure why. I find it hard to believe she actually thinks it was an animal. 😛
Yeah, but wouldn’t that be funny 🙂 Maybe there’s a secret ending no one has found yet!
Haha, yeah, though it would make more sense if they rode off on caribou.
wait so she married the real life english voice actor of Akiba O___O
he’s Gene from God Hand!!!!!!!
She said she never married. She jokingly said that because their characters did. But i’d marry her anyday :b
No, she is just talking about the scene in MGS4.
Sorry for being off topic, but anyone know if Konami still plans to release that PAX trailer in English…?
That was the idea, but I don’t know when we can expect it.
