Linked below is an interview with Merle Dandridge, the iconic voice actor of Alyx Vance. Her voice is a powerful role in one of the most important video game franchises, yet for some reason Valve has re-cast her voice in the upcoming game Half Life Alyx. According to Tyler (Valve News Network), he was told by insiders that she was recast as early as this week. What's even more curious is Merle wasn't even informed as to why they made this decision. I find this incredibly disappointing and frankly a bit gut wrenching. She was such a strong and important character and I honestly can't accept a different voice. You can tell by the end of the interview that Tyler and Merle are crushed, but she's very gracious about this whole thing (which just solidifies her as the proper Alyx in my mind).
