Are you ready to enter the realms of the FACTS convention Spring Edition? We certainly are and we have one more article for you to get you through the last hours of waiting! In our previous articles we already talked about the Padaleckis, Eric Winter, Christian Coulson and Doug Jones. Today wer are tyalking about the last two names on the guest list. They are mostly known for their work on "Baldur's Gate 3", but there is a lot more to tell you about Amelia Tyler and Dave Jones!

Amelia Tyler was born Emily Morris on February 10th, 1981 in the United Kingdom. There isn’t a lot to be found about her childhood years, except that she grew up in Warwickshire. Her mother was an actress and voice over artist before ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network), when artists had to travel to radio stations to record an ad for them. One day Amelia’s mom could not find a babysitter and her mom took her along for the ride (Amelia was 5 at the time). When they arrived at the station, it so happened that the producers at the station needed a cute little kid for an ad they had to record. This resulted in Amelia’s first voice over job at the age of 5 and she loved it. At the age of 13, things changed, when Amelia started to get cast in serious corporate commercials. They did not want the cute little kid anymore, but they expected her to read the script perfectly. Suddenly there was a lot of pressure behind it and Amelia was not familiar with that kind of pressure.

Amelia even found it quite intimidating and recalls bursting into tears. Soon she realized that this was what she wanted to do for a career, so she had to pull herself together. So every day after school, she started practicing her scripts and through that honed her skills. She also did some stage acting and drama training throughout her early teens. At age 16, Amelia was accepted into the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain (NYT). This organisation was founded in 1956 by Michael Croft and focuses on training people from 14 to 25. The NYT program is very selective and reportedly Amelia was the youngest of her year to be accepted into the program. During this time she took part in intensive acting workshops. About six months into the program, Amelia reached another milestone when she got a job at ITV (specifically CITV) as continuity announcer and presenter. A continuity announcer introduces upcoming shows, links one program to the next and speaks directly to the viewer. The job required perfect timing and the ability to sound engaging and natural.

Especially on CITV segments, Amelia appeared on screen (instead of only their voices). At just 16/17 years old, Amelia worked 5 days a week and that meant it was quite professional for a teenage girl. At about 18 years old, Amelia decided to take a little step back from performing full-time. She enrolled at the University of Bristol and studied Experimental Psychology. It gave her a chance to step away from the pressure of professional (voice) acting. It also gave her a chance to explore the human mind, reset her career direction and get an education to fall back on. After graduating from University, Amelia decided to return to the entertainment world. She was in her early 20s, signed with a London voice agency and began pursuing professional voice-over roles. In 2005, Amelia secured a stable job as a continuity announcer for Syfy Channel (UK). This job was comparable to her job at CITV, but was on a more mature and professional level.She worked for Syfy from 2005 until 2010. After Syfy, Amelia moved deeper into freelance voice acting and worked on commercials, corporate narration jobs, audio books and voice overs for TV and radio. During this year, she built a professional voice portfolio. The real turning point came when she began working in video game voice acting around the mid 2010s. Some of the games she worked on in these early days are: “Warframe” (2013, voice of Eleanor Nightingale), “Elite Dangerous: Horizons” (2015, voice of Rebecca Weston, among others), “The Turing Test” (2016, voice of Dr. Sarah Brook), “Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3” (2017, multiple voices) and more. Amelia’s first major voice acting role was in the video game “Divinity: Original Sin 2” (2017) as Malady. It was her first widely recognized role in gaming and introduced her to Larian Studios. After the success of “Divinity”, the Belgian Larian Studios wanted to make something even bigger...

They decided they wanted to build a modern RPG, which was based on “Dungeons & Dragons 5E” (2014) and got the license for Baldur’s Gate (from Wizards of the Coast). They focused on player freedom, reactivity and cinematic storytelling and started developing. In the meantime Amelia worked on games, like “Total War: Warhammer II” (2017, voice of Medusa), “Elex” (2017, voice of Sandra/Aira), “Augmented Empire” (2017, voice of Ashley Thorne), “Sea of Thieves” (2018, voice of The Siren Queen), “The Spectrum Retreat” (2018, voice of Cooper/Doctor Wright), “We Happy Few” (2018, voice of Mrs. Boyle), “Pathfinder: Kingmaker” (2018, voice of Nyrissa), “Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey” (2018, various voices), “The Occupation” (2019, as voice of Scarlet Carson), “Rico” (2019, voice of Commander Karen Redfern), “We Happy Few: Roger & James in They Came From Below”, “We Happy Few: Lightbearer” (2019, voice of Petunia Pickles) and “Devil’s Hunt” (2019, voice of Gabriel). Back to Larian Studios and their project “Baldur’s Gate 3”. In 2020, the game entered early access and this means that a part of the game is released and playable for feedback, which is basically development in public.

It was around this time (2019–2020) that Amelia stepped into the production. She already worked for Larian (on Divinity) so they knew what she could do. From 2020 until 2023, Amelia was involved in the development of the game. As the narrator of the game, she recorded lines in multiple sessions. But why did it take so long? Well, as the game’s Dungeon Master, Amelia had to record the lines in 17 different styles, based on player’s choices. Each batch of dialogue had to account for the most absurd player’s choices. Every player had to get the feeling that they had the perfect Dungeon Master. Amelia did not just join the project, but grew with it. By the time the game was released in 2023, her narration was fully integrated, reactive and dynamic. The game became a huge success and Amelia’s narration became one of the most praised aspects of the game. During the development of “Baldur’s Gate 3”, Amelia also worked on other projects, including “Amnesia: Rebirth” (2020, voice of Eva Rutter/Atharu), “Arkham Horror: Mother’s Embrace" (2021, voice Tillinghast/Narrator), "Overboard" (2021, voice Veronica Villensey) ,"Comanche" (2021, voice Baroness), "Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous" (2021, voice Wendaug) , "Verna's Planet" (2021, Verna), "Rico London" (2021, voice DI Karen Redfern) and "Metal: Hellsinger" (2022, voice The Unknown). Over the last years (following the huge success of "Baldur's Gate 1"), Amelia had a steady stream of jobs, like "Starfield" (2023, voice: Genevieve Palusi), "Hades II" (2024, voice: Hecate), "Thalassa: Edge of the Abyss" (2024, voice: Alex), "Warframe: 1999" (2024, voice: Eleanor/Nyx), "Eternal Strands" (2025, voice: The Surgeborn), "Rosewater" (2025, voice: D.W. Shaw/Faye Davies/Bridget Doran) and most recently "Forgotlings" (2026, voice: Ezra/Jux/Celeste/Lyra/Poppy and more).

Amelia Tyler will be a guest at FACTS on both days.

There is very little public information to be found about Dave’s birthdate, place and early life and career. What we can tell you is that Dave was born in England (UK). He is mostly known for his role as Halsin the Druid in the incredibly popular game “Baldur’s Gate 3.” (2023). During the casting process for the game, casting director Kirsty Gilmore asked him to do a self tape and after some alterations he landed the job that would change his life forever. Initially Halsin was supposed to be a NPC and he would be in just one act. During early access, however the character turned out to be very popular, so his role grew. About the infamous bear scene, Dave says that he wasn’t nervous about doing it. When he read the scene, he immediately thought it would be great fun. He was glad it was Neil Newbon that directed the scene and that it was done on a closed set, with the mo-cap engineer, audio engineer, voice director and movement director. Dave himself is an avid gamer and he says that when he started playing “Baldur’s Gate 3”. he spent 3½ to 4 hours in character development. He says that he loves that the choices you make aren’t just cosmetic, but affect the whole story.  

Besides his work on “Baldur’s Gate 3” Dave also worked on other projects, like:  

* “Astrologaster” (2019, voice of Simon Forman)  

* “Planet Zoo” (2019, as Dominic Myers)  

* “Alma’s Not Normal” (2021–2024, as Bill)  

* “The Excavation of Hob’s Barrow” (2022, as voice of Charles Briden/more voices)  

* “Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II” (2024, multiple voices)  

* “Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake” (2024, voice of Ortega in English Version)  

* “Loco Motive” (2024, voice of Lex Lamont/Issac/Harold)  

* “Titan Isles” (2024, voice of Sidian)
