Gaming host John sits down with Sophia Eleni, the voice of Aava in the highly anticipated narrative climbing video game Cairn. In this heartfelt and informative interview, we dig into Sophia’s process, the emotional weight of her performance, and what it takes to bring such a grounded, intimate video game to life. We cover: Where Sophia pulled inspiration from for her performance The surprising (and hilarious) challenges of recording grunts, gasps, and falls in a video game How she connected personally with Cairn’s themes of perseverance And yes… we finally settle how to actually pronounce “Cairn” It’s an episode filled with laughs, insight, and community-submitted questions.
