Winner: Claudia Black – Chloe Frazer
The Best Voice Actor of 2017
The Uncharted series features some of the most recognizable characters in PlayStation history, with pairings such as Nathan Drake and Nolan North being being among the most famous in gaming. One of the series’ most popular characters, Chloe Frazer, returned this year for The Lost Legacy and was the star of the show.
We do see a slightly different Chloe in the game, with her being the leader and therefore having to show more perseverance. However, it is her relationship with Laura Bailey’s Nadine that makes the performance stand out. The two characters play off each other excellently, joking at times, but being serious when they need to be. Black perfectly conveys the humor needed to develop the protagonists’ relationship, whilst making it clear that Chloe is more interested in the artifacts and their connection to her family. She is strong throughout, taking on everything that is thrown at her, yet is sensitive when necessary. One of the best things about The Lost Legacy is being able to spend more time with Chloe than we did in Uncharted 2, and that is made possible thanks to the excellent performance from Claudia Black.
