Questions[]

Question 1[]

UnicornBS

Oh boy here we go...hey Kylie! I have been waiting for this AMA for a long time. I’m Sammi from twitter 😄

What is it like to be accepted by the LiS community immediately and be nominated an award considering that this is your first voice acting job?
Do you see yourself accepting voice acting job in the future? If yes, which kind of character you want to try out?
How do you feel about Rachel ? What do you like or dislike about her? Do you think that Rachel really moved out from her house after her feud with parents in BTS? (She had a dorm room in LiS)
This is gonna start war. I know you are AmberPrice shipper, why ? And does playing BTS changed your option on picking Bay ending in your first playthrough?
When are you returning to Tumblr? 😂

Lastly, thank you for doing this AMA. Remember that you are loved by the community. Cheers x

Officialkylieanne

Omg Hi Sammi!! Okay lets do this...

1) FREAKING AMAZING

2) Definitely, I really fell in love with voice acting and would love to do it again! I honestly would love something like Laura Croft in Tomb Raider. 3) Rachel is my baby, i did a lot of thinking about her character and i was very empathetic when it came to her faults because they stemmed from something that happened to her in her past. She's human. 4) Why am i an amberprice shipper? BECAUSE I VOICE RACHEL AMBER AND SHE IS MY BABY AND I LOVE CHLOE AND THEY ARE REALLY CUTE TOGETHER. 5) Look, i tried tumblr for a while and i just didnt entirely love it. I'm most likely going to use it like i use facebook, once every few weeks or months idk haha

Take care Sammi. xoxo

Question 2[]

Jorgisven

The scream at the end of S1 is pretty primal. How many times did you have to practice/record that?

EDIT: Iambic pentameter made me swoon.

Officialkylieanne

I actually didnt know i would be doing the scream until Phil told me to just scream and transition to crying on the spot....so i did just that! we recorded the scream maybe three or four times.

Question 3[]

jjaazz

Hi Kylie, thank you so much for this AMA and for doing such a wonderful job at bringing to life the amazing character of Rachel, now I can totally understand why Chloe was so in love with her.

Now to the question, in the first LIS when Max asks Chloe about Rachel she simply says "Rachel Amber. She was my... angel. After my dad died and you moved, I felt abandoned. Rachel saved my life."

I feel you understood and portrayed her character so well that I wanted to ask you: How do you think Rachel would describe what Chloe was to her to someone who didn't know her?

Officialkylieanne

She was my breath of fresh air, my light in a dark tunnel, my muse, my everything.

Question 4[]

WoolIsForWolves

Firstly, I want to commend you for the amazing job you did bringing Rachel's character to life. She is such an enigma, and I love her for that. You are awesome! Now onto the questions.

What was the most challenging aspect of playing this character for you?
Do you think Rachel may have suffered from a mental illness/disorder, or was her emotional instability strictly due to a perfect storm (pun...intended?) of unfortunate circumstance and teenaged hormones?
What was your favorite scene in BTS?

Thank you for taking the time to do this AMA.

Officialkylieanne

Thank you!

Figuring out why she has unexpected outbursts.
No, i think it just stems from a broken heart

Question 5[]

gigantism

You did an awesome job at bringing a character who was really more of a chimerical plot device in the first game to life!

Have you played the original game, and do you have your own theories for what happens to Rachel and Chloe in the 3 years after BtS?
Has anyone recognized you from your role out in public?
If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
Have you ever read any of the fan-fiction that's been created around the franchise?
The franchise incorporates heavy themes such as school shootings, income inequality, depression, online bullying, single parent households, drug addiction, LGBT representation, rural economic decline, etc. In Life is Strange 2, are there any themes or social issues you would like to see explored that didn't get as much visibility in the first game and prequel?

Officialkylieanne

Thank you!

AND THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER
Nope :(
Time (im always late to things)
of course i have! Most of them being on Tumblr
I think LiS does a superb job of illustrating all aspects of human life and the struggles we go through so i really have no critique, im just excited to see what they do next and what issues they deal with in it.

Question 6[]

its_me_carly

Hey there, Junkyard Queen! I wanted to first start my saying how much I love your voice acting. You honestly deserve to play so many different roles, considering your versatility. What I wanted to know is, as a voice actor, do you find it more difficult to get into a scene (especially an emotional one) without other actors or a set present? Also, on a scale from 1-10, how much like Rachel Amber are you? Also, is blue hair hot to you in real life? Because same

Officialkylieanne

Hey there! Thank you so much. i actually dont, its a completely different environment, its very intimate and you get to be alone with these emotions and let yourself feel them without judgement. I loved the experience. and i would say im a 7.

Question 7[]

skypeio

Hi Kylie!

Important question: Eggs & bacon... or Pancakes?

Officialkylieanne

EGGS AND BACON

Question 8[]

Pricefield or Amberprice?
Favorite line from the game?

Question 9[]

tlustymen

Hi Kylie, I really love your work on the BtS, it was excellent, I and my friend really got to love your character and the overall bond between Rachel and Chloe. Although I know we probably won't see much of you in newer seasons, I hope we will have the option to see you again in one way or another, like Max in the bonus episode Farewell. :) So here I and my friend have some questions for you :)

When you auditioned for the role of Rachel, did you actually know, what happened before in the 5th episode of LIS?
And were you fan of the first season, even before the BtS came out?
Aside from Chloe, Rachel and Max, what are your favorite characters of the series?
What's your most and least favorite scene you have worked on? And why?
Would you like to work on another LIS project?
a few bit more personal questions, if you don't mind
What's your favorite music genre and movie genre?
Also, what's your favorite TV show, song, and a movie?

In the end, thanks for this AMA, you are amazing! :)

Officialkylieanne

Awe thank you so much!! Hello to you and your friend!

When i auditioned for LiS:BTS everything was under code names so i didnt actually know what i was auditioning for until i booked it.
I didnt know about life is strange until i booked BTS. Thats when i played the first season and fell in love!
Drew, Mikey, and Frank 4) I've loved all of the intimate scenes with chloe but i think my favorite would have to be the lamppost scene and the hospital scene. My least favorite would have to be the play. DOING SHAKESPEARE IS SO STRESSFUL.
If i was given the chance, ABSOLUTELY!
It really depends on the day haha. I love listening to movie scores, todays top billboard songs, EDM (two feet, hippie sabotage,etc), and musicals(mostly hamilton). Favorite movie genre is action.
Game of Thrones, The Office, The Punisher. Anything by Two Feet right now. ANY MARVEL MOVIE. xoxo

Question 10[]

xtina592

Hi Kylie! First off you did a phenomenal job as Rachel and I hope you do more video game work in the future! If Rachel were still alive when Max returned, do you think they would have been friends? Or do you think Rachel would get jealous of Chloe and Max’s history and become more protective/possessive of Chloe?

Also, in your opinion do you think Rachel would have eventually found out that Chloe lied about Sera (for players who chose that ending) and that could have led to them drifting apart later on?

Officialkylieanne

Thank you! Yes i do believe Rachel and Max would be friends, however, i also think rachel would be a little jealous of their past and definitely protective because i mean, we're talking about Rachel here.

Yeah i think Rachel wouldve eventually found out either by chloe finally just telling her from feeling guilty, or her dad confessing it, or Elliot when he gets out of jail. It's bound to happen one way or another. And i think Rachels initial reaction would be hurt and angry but in the long run i feel rachel would understand why Chloe did what she did and forgive her and move on stronger than ever.

Question 11[]

Toxic_Boy86

If Chloe and Rachel had a backtalk challenge, who do you think would win?

Officialkylieanne

Oh for sure Rachel...Chloe stumbles on her words ALL THE TIME around rachel. Perfect example "Nice Rachel we're having"

Next question. ;)

Question 12[]

AleXisGTZ4

I don't have a question... I just want to say thank you for giving life to Rachel Amber! 💜

PS. AMBERPRICE Forever 😅

Officialkylieanne

Thank you!!! xoxo

Question 13[]

RachelTheLeo

Are you a true Leo? Meow!

Officialkylieanne

In the sense that im fierce af? Yes. But i'm a true Libra and very level headed.....unlike rachel.....

Question 14[]

Jimbobbillyboy

Hi Kylie, thanks for voicing Rachel! You did a really good job of bringing a voice and emotion to what used to be just the girl on the missing poster. I just wanted to ask: 1. Why do you think Rachel and Frank started a relationship? And why wouldn’t she tell Chloe? 2. Do you agree with Eliot that Rachel is “manipulating” Chloe? Or is he just ignorant to what the dynamic between Chloe and Rachel is? 3. What’s your favorite moment in Before the Storm? Favorite line? 4. You’ll probably be biased, but Pricefield or Amberprice? 5. And finally, do you pick Bay or Bae? Thanks for doing this awesome Q&A, and I hope you have a lovely day! (wow that rhymed)

Officialkylieanne

Hello! Thank you!!

Perhaps Rachel didnt want to bring chloe into her crazy life like she did in BTS when trying to find sara because she wanted to keep her safe, so she knew the only other way was to get close to frank since he's had contact with sara.
No i do not.
Lamppost scene and hospital scene
Amberprice
Both. ;)

Question 15[]

mooch360

Hi Kylie! I love Rachel Amber! She’s the best. You did a great job. Here my question: Can you tell us about any dialogue you recorded that didn’t make it into Before the Storm? I’d love to hear about any “deleted scenes”. Is there anything you were particularly sad to see cut?

Thanks!

Officialkylieanne

Hello! Thank you! I love her too. You know....i dont think anything was cut...Because there are so many options to what a character can say in a scene depending on what the player chooses, the script was huge and a lot of the dialogue was just different variations of the same thing. All of the scenes i was excited to watch were included in the game. So if there was anything cut, it was very minor.

Question 16[]

Nemeblubb

Hi Kylie, thank you for taking the time!

Looking back on your work, is there any scene you would have done differently if you could do it again today?

Officialkylieanne

Yes and no, because i was in the booth alone and recording scenes without someone to feed off of and react off of, there were some scenes that i wouldve done differently if i knew how rhianna had landed a line.

Question 17[]

tiga008

Hi Kylie, I've only got one important question. Who would you choose, Chloe or Frank?

Officialkylieanne

Chloe.

Question 18[]

tfbhay

How did you get the role of Rachel? And what about Rachel did you connect with/ how did you channel her?

Officialkylieanne

I auditioned for it....and i rocked it..

I connected to her hurt, i channeled it by unleashing all of my brokenness that i had been suppressing.

Question 19[]

Coh_

Hey Kylie! I loved what you did with Rachel Amber. If Max said "Ready for the moshpit, shaka brah", how would Rachel react to it? Do you think Max and Rachel would've gotten along?

Officialkylieanne

Rachel would've laughed and said "That was cute but let me show you how its done." and then said the same thing but in Rachel's style. I think they would've gotten along.

Question 20[]

Crofting

Hey Kylie! I'm representing Russian fan community of Dontnod Ent and first of all I’d like to thank you for your awesome work on BtS! We have collected a number of questions that people would like to ask you personally but couldn't do because of the language barrier. Hope you answer them all but it’s okay if you miss some 😉 Let’s cut to the chase:

How did you come to know about BtS?
Have you played every LiS game (season 1 and entire BtS)? Do you play other games? If so, which?
Did you get to know the whole plot from the beginning or voiceover came episode by episode? Which episode is your favorite?
What is your opinion on Rachel’s character? Anything you don’t like? Are you similar to her?
Was it hard to make Rachel sound happy and active knowing her tragic fate?
What scene was the hardest to voice?
Any relatable moment from the game?
Do you think Rachel really loved Jefferson (from your perspective)?
Did you like music Deck Nine picked up for BtS? Which track is your favorite?
Would you like to see another ‘before the storm’ game?
What character would you like to voice (generally)?
What is your opinion on LGBT community? Do you support it?

Officialkylieanne

Hello Russian community and thank you for your support and amazing questions!

I found out about this amazing series after booking the role of Rachel!
I have played every game and i love it! I also play Fortnite haha
They came episode by episode and i only really knew my lines, so i didn't get to see the full thing until all of you got to see it! Episode two has to be my favorite.
I love Rachel, shes just a broken girl figuring out life, she doesn't care what people think of her, she does what makes her happy. I am similar to her in many aspects, like emotional outbursts, her vulnerability, her humor, and her love for acting to just name a few.
Nope! Because the Rachel i was playing didn't know her fate! haha that sounds so sad doesn't it. But Rachel is a very "in the moment" kinda gal, shes very present when shes with someone and she doesn't really think about what the future holds, as we can tell by her acting before thinking about the repercussions.
ALL OF THE SHAKESPEARE LINES
The scenes where she's vulnerable with Chloe are the most relatable.
No
YES AND ALL OF THEM
Omg yes....please make another. I love Amberprice stories.

I'm not sure if i understand the question completely but if you're asking what KIND of character, then i would love to voice like a Laura Croft type character (British action hero)
Pardon my french, but FUCK YES I DO. I SUPPORT LOVE NO MATTER WHAT GENDER YOU ARE AND THIS IS SUCH AN IMPORTANT TOPIC. EVERYONE SHOULD BE FREE TO LOVE WHOEVER THE FUCK THEY WANT!

Again, thank you for all of these amazing questions. I have so much love for you guys. xoxo

Question 21[]

Escope12

Hi Kylie Brown. I wanted to say Thanks for voicing Rachel Amber. My question is what was it like voicing her and what’s your favorite quote from her?

Officialkylieanne

Hello! It was surreal and beautiful getting to connect with her and letting myself feel how broken but hopeful she is. There are so many amazing lines from Rachel and i dont know which one to pick!

Question 22[]

nareurong

Hey Kylie! Throughout recording, did the thought ever occur to you that Rachel might have a superpower like Max and her rewind? Thank you so much for your awesome work.

Officialkylieanne

I think her superpower is her dramaqueenness

Question 23[]

ThreadOfFate

Good morning Kylie! Thanks for coming by the sub. I've got a few questions for you!

What's your favorite sandwich?
Is there a moment of voicing Rachel that you're particularly proud of?
What's coming up next for you?

Officialkylieanne

Good morning! I have my coffee and i get to talk to you guys, so my morning is starting off pretty great!

Anything with turkey in it
the lamppost scene after the play and the hospital scene and the screaming scene. You know what, im proud of the whole dang thing!
What's next? uhhh im probably going to take a shower and go out to lunch with my friend...then maybe watch a movie....go on a hike....pet a dog....who knows really

Question 24[]

nicefield

Hi Kylie! What aspect of Rachel can you relate to the most? And what do you relate to the least?

Officialkylieanne

Hello!

The thing i relate the most would probably be her intense emotions and the way she gets attached to someone quickly. The thing i relate to the least is the way she shows her emotions and her outbursts. I'm very much an in my head person when it comes to emotions. And i only let them out when im with someone i trust or if im alone.

Question 25[]

Paradoxs

Hey Kylie! I loved you in Before the Storm!

My question is this: If Chloe is an Elf Barbarian named Callamastia what would Rachel and Max be?

Officialkylieanne

Oh god.....i have no clue.

Question 26[]

BanulDinTorino

Do you think you could play Rachel Amber if they make a series or a movie ?

Officialkylieanne

uhhhhhhh duh

Question 27[]

giorgiflurri

Hey! I have two questions. *SPOILER ALERT* 1.Which endings did you choose when you first played BtS and the original LiS? 2.Which do you think is the best choice for Rachel in BtS ending?

Officialkylieanne

1) Not telling rachel and bay 2) I honestly think not telling her was the best for her in that moment...she had just been stabbed, shes in the hospital, her life literally imploded. so i think not telling her was best, HOWEVER, that doesnt mean i didnt think chloe shouldnt tell her in the future. Because i do beleive rachel should know...just not right then.

Question 28[]

snow_doe

Hey Kylie! Would you actually want to live in Arcadia Bay? Xox love you and Rachel!

Officialkylieanne

Absolutely not...too much drama.

Question 29[]

baywolfx

hey there, i was wondering what you would think about a patch allowing max to save you and chloe from your horrible fates, now that the game is over and we all experienced it fully i think the devs can patch it to allow max to save you both by rewinding perhaps to a photo of rachel

Officialkylieanne I WOULD LOVE THAT! There was a fan edit of that exact scenario where the ending of the 3rd episode where Rachel is in the photo room and it pans to the phone showing the missed calls from chloe and then it pans back out to show max around the corner sneaking up and then it cuts the black and when i watched it i literally flipped out thinking it was a promo for another LiS. But it wasnt...BUT I WANT IT TO BE

Question 30[]

magicarrot

Hello Kylie. For starters I wanted to congratulate you for your performance in BtS, you really brought Rachel's character to life (no pun intended :/)

I have a question: you said that you auditioned for the role without knowing who Rachel was (and even without knowing what role you were auditioning for I think?).

Then you played LiS and discovered who she was, which made you say "oh no Rachel is gonna have a manly voice!"

I'm not sure what triggered such a thought but that's definitely not the case lol

Anyway, I'm wondering, did you (as many players surely did) picture a specific voice for Rachel when you were playing LiS, even though you knew your voice would eventually become Rachel's official voice? If so, what did "your" version of Rachel sound like?

Officialkylieanne

Thank you!

Yes i pictured her voice as a very angelic, sultry voice where youre sitting there like "woah is this chick even real? Please keep talking." AND THATS WHY I THOUGHT MY VOICE WAS GOING TO SOUND MANLY COMPARED TO THAT

Question 31[]

PolyBlank99

Been waiting soooo long for this,hope you answer 1.. how were you approached for the voice of Rachel amber,and were you familiar with the original game beforehand

2.any other games you are working on or approached to voice in

I gotta say you were the best voice actress in BTS, especially the scream in end of episode 1 and your lines during the Tempest play

Officialkylieanne

I've been waiting soooooo long to answer you!

1) I submitted myself on a casting site, then i received an audition for it, i auditioned, i got a callback, then i booked it! and no i didnt until i looked it up and fell in love with the entire series. 2) Nope :( Thank you so much for your kind words. <3

Question 32[]

Skaymore

How do you think Rachel's relationship with her family continues over the next few years if you decide to tell her?

Also, if this ending occurs, why do you think Rachel and Chloe don't go to Los Angeles?

Also what is your favorite game ever (not counting LIS)

Officialkylieanne

I think short term there would definitely be lack of trust and rage on rachels side. But long term, i think Rachel will become distant to her family and cordial when with them.

Question 33[]

Javad_

Hi Kylie !

First of all I wanted to tell you how much I love your work on LiS. Spending those hours with Rachel has been one of the most amazing experience I've ever had, and it is mostly thanks to you. So I had a few question for you: 1- Before you started working on the game, did you know how important was Rachel for the community? If yes, was it stressful? Challenging? 2- One of my favorite scene is the Tempest, from episode 2. This is such an incredible, beautiful and emotional moment. I was curious to know how recording this part was. Was it more difficult than the other scenes? Or maybe more fun? 3- I must say that I discovered you through BtS, but now I'm curious to know if you had any upcoming project(s)?

That's all for me ! Thanks for hosting this AMA, this is awesome to be able to ask you questions like that ! And thanks again for all you did on BtS. It truly means a lot to me and to the community.

Officialkylieanne

Hello! Thank you so much! 1) I did not actually until the game was released and i realized how big this franchise was AND THEN THE STRESS CAME! 2) Recording the tempest was stressful because Shakespeare is so complex with understanding his words and doing them in iambic. and i didnt want to mess it up soooo yeah that was probably the most stressed i felt in the booth. 3) I actually do! I have a movie that i filmed in Kentucky that will be released at the end of this year in select theaters! so keep your eye out

Question 34[]

GhostPlayHQ

Hey Kylie, you pretty woman. Its nice Rachel we're having, hope you are doing well.

Loved you as Rachel, well I love you in general but my question for you is if you had to choose your favourite song from the Before The Storm soundtrack, what would it be? You can include the original LiS soundtrack if you want to as well.

<3 Much love. Tom

Officialkylieanne

EVERY SINGLE SONG WAS INCREDIBLE. Whenever the scene would loop and a song would play i would sit there letting it loop for like a solid half hour just because the music was fantastic.

Question 35[]

Templarkommando

Thanks for doing the AMA! I personally think you are the best voice actor in the series thus far!

How do you feel about the theory that Rachel has some kind of supernatural abilities? Are you able to comment on that at all?

What is your favorite deception of Rachel's during BtS?

Officialkylieanne

Thank you!

I like it but i dont know if that would necessarily work for her character

Question 36[]

lifeishomosexual

Ah, hey there, Kylie!

Thank you so much for doing this, this game has been amazing and your portrayal of Rachel was just perfect!

My question is, If Rachel had still been alive when Max moved back to Arcadia, who do you think she would have been dating/been with?

I know this is a little dumb considering we only know Rachel being with Chloe, Frank and possibly Jefferson but I just thought that she could possibly have had new interests since then? Such as Samantha, or Victoria, maybe even Max herself!

Thank you again! From Jake (:

Officialkylieanne

Hi Jake!

I think she would still be with Chloe, they had been through a lot together.

Question 37[]

DarylT13

Hey Kylie, how did you handle the sudden burst of fame that BTS brought you because idk how I’d handle suddenly having hundreds of people @ mentioning me everyday and having “fans.” Also more importantly, how many upvotes do I need to get a shot at sliding in your DMs 😏

Officialkylieanne

I still feel weird saying "my fans". And i mean, doesnt this count as sliding into my dms since im reading your comment and replying? ;)

Question 38[]

Lazar-us

Hello Kylie ! First, I'm a great fan of your work for BTS as Rachel, and, mostly thanks to the voice acting she became one of my favourite character. Now, 1) which is your favorite ship in the Life is Strange Universe? 2) which ending did you prefer in BTS and why? 3) same for the original game?

Officialkylieanne

1) AMBERPRICE 2) I'm still undecided on both

Question 39[]

kristiswat

Hi Kylie :)

First of all, thank you for all the emotions given through Rachel at during BTS.

I wanted to ask: how has the character of Rachel changed your life?

Officialkylieanne

Hello! Thank you! It's changed my perspective on my emotions, allowing me to feel them more and not feel ashamed of it.

Question 40[]

Skog31

Hey rachel my name is Magnus

Officialkylieanne

Hi Magnus

Question 41[]

nikorgoroth

Hello Kylie, I wanted to ask you what thing about the personality of Rachel Amber called you more attention when interpreting the voice of this character? and Would you like to re-interpret this character if in the future there is a release in which Rachel is still alive? Greetings from Chile <3 Nicolás :)

Officialkylieanne

Hi Nicolas! i fell in love with her humanity...her brokenness and her charming wit. And YES i would absolutely love to be rachel again if i were to be given the chance.

Question 42[]

BrittishNotBritish

Hey Kylie! Hope you're doing well today!

1) What was your favorite part of being in BtS?

2) Were there any particular cast mates that you became close friends with?

3) I'm in college for game design. Can I hit you up in the future for a possible role or thoughts on my projects?

Officialkylieanne Hello!

1) everything

2) Rhianna and Katy 3) of course!

Question 43[]

Mer93 Hey Kylie,

I am Muammer from Twitter and Twitch. I hope you remember me because we played Fortnite together with Katy Bentz.

Before the start; how are you today ?

My questions;

How is the feeling hear your voice as game character ?
Did you know about Life is Strange before being voice actor of Rachel ?
What would be happen if Rachel meets Max somehow ? What is your idea ?
What if your best moment with Rhianna ?

Officialkylieanne

Hi Muammer!! How are you? It's good to hear from you again.

Weird af
No
They would become friends but rachel would still be dating chloe
Every single moment we have is the best

Question 44[]

autumnalgay

Which concert would Rachel Amber sneak into and which concert would Kylie Brown sneak into?

Officialkylieanne

Rachel: Fire Walk Kylie: Hippie Sabotage (which i actually did)

shhhh

Question 45[]

HellaShakaBrah

Couldn’t let this pass by without saying how much I love, appreciate and admire you! You did a brilliant job as Rachel, as I always say, the best Rachel we could have asked for. Btw, it’s Marina from Twitter, sorry for always blowing up your twitter notifications lol. Lots of love! 💙 -What is your favorite song from the first game? (Cuz you already said once what’s your favorite from BTS) -What music genre is the one you listen to the most? -What’s the most interesting scene of the game in your opinion? -Do you still play soccer sometimes?

Officialkylieanne Hi Marina! No worries babe i love hearing from you.

1) i love every single song 2) Depends on my mood but right now im listening to movie scores 3) The most interesting scene would have to be before the play when they switch the cups on victoria. 4)YES but i miss the competition

Question 46[]

tache17

Hello! Thank you for how you voice acted rachel and just for the brilliant work! Rachel and Chloe Price in BTS actualy impacted my real life in different ways!

In the game rachel starts the game as wanting to do new things and be more like Chloe, at the end she does change a lot, how do you feel about this change in rachel?
Last question, unless you don't know (which im guessing you do :P ) rachel ends up dying, does this make you sad or are happy that the story ended up like this?

Have a great day and thank you!

Officialkylieanne

I think the change in rachel is a change every human goes through, her bubble gets burst, she thrown into reality. Her change is she becomes less naive to the world.
of course it makes me sad! Ive thought of different ways they could bring her back if they decided they want to. i just dont want to say goodbye to her.

Question 47[]

PardonTheSuit

Hello!

Are you involved in the production of LiS Season 2? I’m just curious if the devs are moving away from the Max/Chloe story and moving on to something else, or if it will be a sequel to their story.

Officialkylieanne I'm as lost as you are. I havent heard anything...

Question 48[]

sami_E2 Hey Kylie

What scene from Before the Storm did you find the hardest to do?
Have you played the first Life is Strange, if so what did you think?
Do you have any more Fortnite strats since spamming the x button when you jump out of the bus was pretty helpful

Officialkylieanne

Hello!

The Tempest
Yes, it killed me.......literally ;)
Don't die...hiding in a shrub is always helpful.

Question 49[]

pepe184

How much can you relate to Rachel? (Or Chloe/Max) I love life is strange by the way

Officialkylieanne

I relate to her in a lot of aspects except for her crazy emotional outbursts and setting a forest on fire hahaha

Question 50[]

99c00kies

Hi kylie! Did you know how BtS was going to end before getting the part, if not what was your reaction when you found out?

Officialkylieanne

I didnt actually! We were given one script at a time. So i was on an emotional roller coaster reading an episode and having to wait for the next!

Question 51[]

cake_fucker_5000

What do you think of the more background characters like Victoria and Nathan? Great job as Rachel btw 👍👍👍

Officialkylieanne

I love them and i think they are such a vital part of LiS

Question 52[]

Hi, Kylie. Thank you for doing AMA. My questions were you given any freedom to improvise as Rachel, or did you strictly stick to the script? And did you have a favourite moment while recording Before The Storm?

Officialkylieanne

It was very scripted! I had to re-record lines just because i would say something like (as an example) "Is that even possible?" rather than the scripted "Is it even possible?"

Hello Kyle Brown,

Aside from Rachel Amber, which character(s) do you have admiration for from both instalments of Life is Strange?
As a huge fan of plaid shirts, which plaid shirt do you think looks best on Rachel Amber, the red one (also worn by Max and Chloe) or the blue one (introduced to us in the 1st episode of Bts)?
Both instalments of the franchise offered unique gaming mechanics, the first game offering time travel and the second game offering the talkback mechanic. Which one do you prefer? Is there another mechanic that you would have wanted to see in the games?
What is your favouriate game of all time?
Which instalments of the franchise did like the most? Is there any advise you would give the people working on Lis 2?

Hope to hear from you soon

Officialkylieanne Hello!

Chloe and Steph
I personally like the blue
Fortnite right now tbh

HEJPADIGMONIKAMMMM

You said in an earlier reply that figuring out why Rachel has emotional was the hardest part, why DOES Rachel have these emotional outbursts?

Officialkylieanne

She acts on what we wish we could act on. We suppress our emotions because society says that's what we need to do until we're alone, then we're allowed to feel. Rachel says screw that, if she feels an emotion shes going to let you know shes feeling it.

Hello Kylie! You were excellent as Rachel Amber! Two questions for you:

What did you think was the most emotional scene that you had to record for Life is Strange: Before the Storm and what was the process like for recording that scene?
Did you audition for any of the other characters in this game before being cast as Rachel?

Officialkylieanne

Probably the scene right before i light the forest on fire
Nope!

Question 56[]

Hello Kylie!

What did you feel when you were chose to play as Rachel Amber and do you think it would have been any different to play her through different scenes during game if you hadn't know that no matter what she does ingame, she would have a fatal destiny?

Officialkylieanne

Question 57[]

Napsteraqil

is there by any chance another life is strange game?

Officialkylieanne

I'm not sure but even if i knew i wouldn't be allowed to share

Question 58[]

xion123456xxx

Hi Kylie! Bit of a hard question for you but would you say it was difficult filling the role of Rachel as she's known by so many of the life is strange community? Also if it was difficult how did you try to make it less challenging for yourself?

Officialkylieanne I honestly didn't know how big she was and how cared for she was by fans until it released and i got a lot feedback. AND THEN I WAS STRESSED THE EF OUT BECAUSE I HOPED I DID A GOOD ENOUGH JOB FOR THE FANS

Question 59[]

Question 64[]

CorGrahvenAwake

Hello Kylie!

I loved your work in LiS:BtS ! Thank you for everything!

The question: I really want to get into the voice acting business, yet where I live currently it's nearly impossible. My vocal range do have some unique touches here and there, so I want to test myself in it!

Any advice how, where, when to start? ._.

Love ya, Daniel Tom Sattler

Officialkylieanne

Hi Daniel!

A great place to start is by registering yourself onto acting websites such as, LA Casting and Actors Access! You dont need a manager or agents for these sites and you can submit yourself to roles you see fit and its a great way to get started on your career!

Goodluck! Kylie

Question 65[]

Ghilliesuitup

No questions, just a amazing job, and thank you for doing such a stellar job! These games are so much better than most titles that release now a days. And your voice acting was on point!

Officialkylieanne

Thank you so much!

Question 66[]

kingroders

Hey Kylie, Ima keep it real with u chief, you're awesome ;). My questions:

Which superpower would you like if you could choose one?
Will we being seeing in anymore streams, have you thought about starting up your own stream? (the videos and streams you've been involved in have been really entertaining).
What music are you enjoying at the moment, does you take any interest in singing yourself? (Kylie in a musical ftw).

Officialkylieanne

Hello! Thank you!

Time (i always run late)
Probably! and no i dont have the technology to do those kinds of streams and i dont play enough video games to be worth your guys' time, so ill just stick to making appearances on other people livestreams haha.
Hamilton, Two Feet, Dirty Heads, Mackelmore and any movie score. Yes i do love to sing!

I know you’re probably long gone by now, but Rachel’s character hit me really hard and you made that possible, so thank you.

Officialkylieanne

Thank you so much!

Question 70[]

royalmaister

Just want to say that we love you Kylie and everything you did with Rachel. I hope that this wasnt the last time i heard you in games or anything. <3

Officialkylieanne

Thank you and me too!

Question 71[]

bravelittlecorg

WHY DID RACHEL BURN DOWN A FOREST??? WHAT'S WRONG WITH HER AND WHY DID SHE CHEAT ON CHLOE WITH FRANK???

Officialkylieanne

SHE'S GOING THROUGH A CRISIS, SHE'S HURT, SHE'S CONFUSED, SHE'S FIGURING OUT WHO SHE IS AS A PERSON!!

Question 72[]

FightClubSignUp

Hi Kylie !

When you were given the role of Rachel Amber were you given any direction to take it or were you given freedom to develop her how you thought she should sound ?
what's your favourite memory of doing the recording did you interact with the others much? Thanks and I hope to see/hear you in future projects ! :)

Officialkylieanne

Hello!

It was a bit of both, i was given the freedom to explore but was also given some things. It was a lot of team work!

My favorite memory was everything! The entire experience was just amazing.

Question 73[]

muttonwow

Hi, I loved your work a lot. It's a lot of pressure to try to be on par with the original and you pulled it off brilliantly. Rachel is now as iconic as any of the others.

But the character herself, I dislike her. A lot. Do you think she was manipulative and uncaring when dealing with Chloe a lot of the time?

Officialkylieanne

No i don't think so. Like ive said in past interviews, she was nothing but googly eyes towards chloe until she found out about her dad, then she was just broken. i dont see her as manipulative, i just see her as a human whos been broken down and vulnerable.

Question 74[]

timeywimeystuff1701

Do you think your decision to work during the SAG-AFTRA strike will negatively impact your future employment opportunities?

Officialkylieanne

Hopefully not because i was Non Union at the time and this game was Non Union and i was just happy to be employed

Question 75[]

ThinkinNDreamin

Hello Kylie! It’s ThinkinNDreamin from twitter! Have you ever considered streaming on twitch? Maybe playing Fortnite or LiS? I would love to see you live stream. Also, could I be one of your mods if you began live streaming? ;)

OfficialkylieanneKylie

Hey! I like doing it with Katy (it's a lot less stress for me!)
