It's heartwarming when voice actors actually care for the work they made and the characters they played.
Thank you so much to interviewed and the interviewer!
_He is the living ellis. I admire him a lot!_
YES. Agree!! ❤
Thank you for interviewing Eric Ladin. His normal speaking voice sounds a lot like Ellis. Must've been amazing to talk to him. Eric is very talented.
I ever tell you that one time my buddy Ellis was in a podcast?
No, I haven’t heard that one.
Not now ellis, tell us that later
Nows not the best time.
Keith, sweetie, can this wait?
You can definitely hear the Ellis in his voice.
18:49 for the ones just came to hear Ellis Gaming
I just thought of another question damnit
“Once you finished all your lines for L4d2, did Valve ever say that they might need you sometime in the future?”
:(( you should have opened up creative mode when you were supposed to lol 😂
Eric's just a funny man, he has an really authentic personality and Voice. Hope i see him in some sort of Game or Movie again! Also enjoyed it that he had such funny answers to some questions, especially the Keith Story's, just hilarious. IM HYPED FOR MORE!
Kind words, thank you so much.
Pretty sure he has a buddy called keith
That man is the pride of georgia.
38:45 Welp time get to animating.
HOLY CRAP ELLIS THANKS FOR SAYING MY REQUEST!
LETS GOOOOO
i wish he can tell us more of ellis stories
I wish these type of podcast with every voice actor were a thing right after l4d2 game was released and the voices would be fresh exactly like how they were in game
But it is what it is, thanks for uploading this podcast even after 12 years :D
Hope you will get contact with coach and nick voice actors
10:21 T E X A S G A M I N G
I’d love to see the voice actor of rochelle interviewed :D
Unfortunately, she refused our offer to interview her.
@ :(
@ Awww noooo that makes me sad
@ was she upset because fans hated her character in general or?...
@try sonja kinski.
Bro, this interview is gonna go down in history. Thank you so much for doing this!
Eric Ladin is a cool person! I'm thankful that, just a few months ago, I started to play L4D2 in englsih to improve in english, and got familiarized with everybodies voices, so this is an amazing time to hear him and share with him that we love the work he did for VO with Ellis :)
Thanks for the podcast!
Nice job, Voc podcast, You guys really did a amazing job finding great voice actors
Interview taymour ghazi
Ellis Gaming
Great interview! Awesome seeing Eric answer all these questions!
Ellis? Is now the best time?
this was a pretty good interview. he seems super down to earth and loves his characters very much. it kinda sucks we didnt get to hear too much about infamous tho
I closed my eyes, and I heard Ellis
this is what Ellis sound like in real life
Ellis Gaming
we need to get nick's and zoey's to do an interview and maybe rochelle too
Nick and zoey would have enough demand to get an interview. Rochelle. No. She declined
Cole MacGrath and Ellis!
I wanna high five this man so bad!!
Thanks for considering my question. It's satisfying to have an answer to the burning questions we've had for years. Plus the humor is there and everything, those were the fastest 47 minutes I've spent. Very entertaining.
It'd be cool if you could get an interview with Rochelle Aytes, who voices... well Rochelle... in Left 4 Dead 2.
@Adrian Maulana sad
@Adrian Maulana That’s too bad
Yessss!!! Can’t wait to see this!!!
Fricking keith
That is why Ellis is my favorite character in L4D2
*4:20** at times in 2000s it was. now is gone man. real gone... that soul i miss that so muchs!*
Eric sounds like he's a great person to be around, really positive and funny, hope he's doing great
"One time me and my buddy Keith...." "Not NOW Ellis!"
These questions are amazing
Wow no sabía que el mismo actor de doblaje de ellis estuvo en este canal
Saludos bro desde México 🇲🇽
Ellis ELLIS! we don't have time for this right now!
Man, I really wish I could've asked this question earlier, but only now I wanted to know if Eric was aware of when Left 4 Dead 2 was boycotted when it was released or announced and if he had any thoughts on it
@troll-man Yes, I think it was because Left 4 Dead 2 was released a year after Left 4 Dead. There was a boycott group on Steam for Left 4 Dead 2 that died out.
@troll-man Yeah, it really sucks. I think they're focusing on VR. Heard they're currently working on another game but it's most likely a lie. I really hope they do come back.
@troll-man I'm looking forward to a new Left 4 Dead game and Half-Life game. Both games I've completed. Apparentaly Valve was working on Left 4 Dead 3, had everything set but couldn't decide what engine should be used for the game, it was then canceled. What game are you looking forward to?
@troll-man No, I'm not trolling. Sucks that happened over an engine. I think you should try Half-Life 2, at first I thought the game would be boring but I gave it a shot and now it's one of my favorites.
@troll-man Oh, my bad. I guess I wasn't reading properly.
Good work here.
I would love to see an interview with the francis voice actor
Here you are! We already did one!
czcams.com/video/HbaxEtBOKCM/video.html
He also played Kashima in COD Infinite Warfare
19:30
[shaking self awake]
Eric Ladin's famous words
"Ellis gaming"
Was waiting on this video and CZcams only decided to tell me about it now?? Damn
It's still the most fresh interview with Eric though!
Just finished watching and that was amazing! Hope you get more of the other l4d VAs! Was so happy to see my request get in the video too, hearing Eric say "Kiddie Land!" made my night 🤣
@@makonevernow We also interviewed Earl Alexander AKA Louis and Vince Valenzuela AKA Francis!
That's AMAZING
hope he stay awesome, my dear storyteller voice actor :3
i love malls right i do once i was in this mall up in atlanta And these guys were dancing for like money and stuff and my friend dave and i was all like jimmy gibbs jr is amazing
E l l i s G a m i n g
Eric also played in Generation Kill
I swear that at some point, every single voice actor that worked with valve will say "(insert character) Gaming"
zoey's is too big to ever do a interview with them
This reminds me of Keith
damn bro L4D is so nostalgic
*Mann I Love This Podcast. :-')
"did i ever tell you about that time"
Oh man, I miss him maybe he could start a CZcams channel
Theres a video of him playing l4d2 and hes hilarious. Everytime ellis screams ingame, the voice actor would do the same exact scream and earrape the mic
Ellis gaming incoming ⚠️
plot twist: Eric is secretly Keith
Ellis gaming.
Yooo, I never knew that Eric Ladin was in Generation Kill. How did I miss that?
ellis gaming
he is Elis
Ellis is the best! =)
Can You get an Interview with Hugh Dillon as you Know the voice actor of Nick.
Think i just seen man's in "the rookie feds."
19:32 Ellis gaming
Ellis gaming
Nice
I know this channel is mainly Valve focused but I really wish you spent a little more time talking about inFamous 2. It is one of my top favorite games of all time and a lot higher on my list than Left 4 Dead... I wish Eric could know how much it means to me...
get all the l4d gang to do this
8:08 Oh man... You know what ? i miss 2000s so muchs man... Really. Now these days old community its so far gone man... world did forgot about Us.
This man's sheer existance puts a big smile on my face. This guy is a total legend
It's spreading
"Hey everyone. Welcome to my special podcast. I have a very epic guest with us today. Go ahead an introduce yourself?"
"Hey, my name is Ellis, but you can call me 'Ell'. But I prefer if you don't, as 'Ell' sounds kind of like a Girls name." 😊
4:09 Yeah Valve Software At Times Really Know about AAA Games at times. Make Masterpiece-Timeless Games At Times. What A Legendary. And then Med-2010s start wrongs.
hey i know this guy he was the journalist in bosch
Shit, I knew he was in Generation Kill.
19:32 *Ellis Gaming*
19:28
Super video, bolo ťažké sa spojiť s ním?
Best Cole Macgrath voice
As a pre teen I looked at Cole as my actual hero and wanted to believe he was real.
I'm more partial to his OG voice actor. Sequel let me down in so many ways 😢
My favorite part :19:28
:1928
19:28
I will now Say it
.
*Ellisineer Gaming*
HORSE!
BRUHHH
Tf2 gaming is done
L4d gamin is unfinished
Wish you could have told him to say Ellis Gaming
Perhaps watch the full interview.
Sorry I was trying to find the time stamp and found it but I hope you get Coach, Rochelle, Nick, Louis, Zoey and Francis Gaming
(Also Francis: I hate Gaming)
@@syahareensharani6869 i hate interviews
Valve has literally become a ghost like that new zombie game that was supposed to remind us of Left 4 dead it sucks it's a garbage game and it should never have been released tell Val get off their ass and give us a Left 4 dead 3 already like honestly it's pathetic every fan has been asking for like 10 plus years in the longer we wait the more hungry we will get make a Left 4 dead 3 and stop being so quiet your game company do something or get lost
Because they already have so much money from steam they don't need to produce games anymore. Their interests are in their PC game tablet and VR
you know they have no plans for a 3rd game right
Maybe when doing the next interview with Hugh Dillion, have a good talker asking the questions if possible
