Kylie Brown as Rachel Amber – Life is Strange: Before the Storm
Best Video Game Voice Actors of Q4 2017
Life is Strange has a whole cast of now-beloved characters, but we’ve all been waiting to get to know Rachel Amber. Before the Storm didn’t disappoint, shining a light on the complex relationship between her and Chloe. Rachel is one of the most popular girls at Blackwell Academy, choosing friends virtually however she wants. She and Chloe, however, develop a complex relationship, and we start to see the cracks beneath Rachel’s “popular girl” portrayal. She’s going through huge amounts of family trouble, having problems figuring out her place in the world and what she wants to do, and feeling angry about a lot of different things.
Kylie Brown lends her voice to the character and does a great job filling Rachel with emotion and teenage angst. It’s fascinating seeing a character we only heard rumors and reports about in the original Life is Strange develop and evolve over time. As it turns out, Rachel is much more interesting than we even thought in the first game.
