Female V Actor Cherami Leigh on Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty & Emotional Scenes

Shes been doing voice-overs in Anime for a long time. This lady is an absolute legend.

her voice is what really brought Cyberpunk alive and why I mostly play as a female V. just for her voice. she's one of the best out there. I may take some hate for this lol but I'm putting her above Jennifer Hale.

Gavin Drea next?

I heard her first in fire emblem and persona 5. Now, I have played cyberpunk. She's so talented and has a lot of range because all the characters just have tiny bit of her but they sound different at the same time. Makoto sounds as a teenage girl, V as a more older raspy character, and Rhea with a soothing yet can turn scary/angry voice. Kudos to her! Hope to listen to more of her work. All of her characters also don't sound like her real self haha so that's talent!!

Preem job, V. I knew you could talk the shit out of this gonk. Also, admire your "Cherami Leigh" disguise. Contract closed.

Her performance in both maingame and expansion was absolutely phenomenal, and while it makes sense to finish V's story off i kiiinda want her to come back for the sequel anyway :D.

I still need to play phantom liberty

She did an AMAZING job!

It's great you got Cherami back for another interview. I played another playthrough as a Corpo to experience the 2.1 patch. I made Female V to look like Emma Roberts. I've been role-playing as Emma Roberts throughout the campaign. Funny Story Emma Roberts played a character named Vee from a sci-fi film called Nerve. I hope to get to meet Cherami at a con someday.

I got Alan Wake 2 and GOW for Christmas and what have I been playing? CYBERPUNK PHANTOM LIBERTY! I love Cherami Leigh as V what a Choom.

Maybe I'm just dumb or deaf, maybe even both, but I cannot hear fem V in her normal speaking voice. She's a great VA!

Playing throught the game again, this time with Femme V and I am repeatedly blown away by Cherami's performance. As good as all the voice actors in this game are, for the most part they sound like actors playing a role. Nothing wrong with that...larger-than-life characters in a story should sound that way. But Femme V sounds so natural, so unaffected and straightforward it's a surprise to discover it was an actor's performance...just a brilliant one.

I'm playing with Female V on my 1st playthrough as a street kid and I love her work she nailed the voice

I love Cherami so much, she's such a cool person. The first time I was captivated by her was as Makoto Niijima in Persona 5 - already loved here there (heard her more in other games since), and then hearing her as V is just amaizing, she did such a great job. But I also love Gavin's work as male V - you can really hear what Cherami is talking about how both of them were given room to act as they want instead of having to copy each other. Makes replaying both V's a bit different and great fun.

♥️

Love playing Valerie, Cherami does one of the best voice acting for that character.

“V, just V, only people who know me real well can use my real name” when she said that line in that tone it just hit different cause not even Jackie Vs closest choom didn’t call V Valerie

I just completed 2077 over break, waited for 2.0/2.1 and PL to come out to do a first playthriugh. What a game and yes I played female V and I did the same for Shepard. Loved it still playing to see the endings and other sidequests. Amazing job all around, please CDPR when 2 comes around just wait till its done we cant have what happened at launch happen again. Thx for the amazing work, fantastic game and world.

Such a fantastic performer. Great interview!

Lightning Flash Asuna!

it's just brilliant to me how Gavin and Cherami with the very same lines and the same gameplay have captured two different experiences of the same "life" so flawlessly. they dont sound like the same person and they deliver a very unique performance on their own. I'm surprised how different Cherami's normal voice and character is compared to V and yet she does it impeccably! her hard work and talent always shines through and amazes me every time! V has made me cry more times than i like to admit and Phantom Liberty was just next level. I cant remember the last time I was THAT touched by a video game character.

This is perfect timing. Just started playing Cyberpunk for the first time and am doing a female V playthrough. Extremely impressed with her voice acting and loving the game.

Cherami has done a brilliant job in Cyberpunk and Phantom Liberty, also in audiobook "No Coincidence".

Currently playing Cyberpunk and for first time I play it as female V, corpo life for starter. Have played it three times as male V for all the stories, been enjoying still learning cool stuff. Preem!❤❤

Wait, she was only your 9th?! But the interview was so good!

OMG! Only just found out she also does Gaige, which is my favorite Borderland character together with Tiny Tina <3

If anybody at CDPR is reading this - Pawel, I know you are there. Please include V again in the sequel, I know it's possible. I'd love it if V is the main character again, but even if it won't be like that, please find a way to include V as a character. If V can be a mentor to the new protagonist that will be friggin' awesome.

When it comes to a game's replayability, it usually boils down to gameplay and story. But with Cyberpunk 2077, the voice acting is one of the reasons why I keep on playing the game even after sinking 2,000+ hours in it. I love female V's voice so much that when I play another game for prolonged periods of time, I keep missing hearing my V talk and miss playing the game, so I fire it up. So I'm really thankful to Cherami for such a wonderful performance and I really love what she said near the end there that the experiences that she heard from the fans is how she knows that what she did really mattered. It truly did.

I gotta say though that Gavin also did an amazing job as male V. I hope you get to interview him again because your first interview with him doesn't have good audio.

She is so beatiful!

She is so bubbly and nice. Great voice too.

Oh wow, Minji yesterday and now Cherami, that's amazing. Yesterday when you said that you'll be talking to Cherami during the Minji interview, I didn't expect that it would be so soon lol.

I’m happy for Cherami on becoming a mom!

I loved female V so much, Cherami Leigh really conveys the character's emotions perfectly. I can't play a male character because of her. Love specially when she's clowning with other characters.

Thumbnail Sandra Bullock. Video, Cherami Leigh.

I just started another playthrough and to me, even though both V’s are canon, I’ll always have a bigger affinity toward fem!V. That said, I love knowing that the different delivery of the lines between male!V and fem!V was intentional. Even though I never played as him, I hope we’ll get another interview with Gavin

It’s so cool she was in Pokémon 🥰🥰🥰🥰

The gem of being an actor is jumping around and being like “oh lol I was in that 😅”

i luv her voice

Only playing BG3/CP77 for quite a while now, taking a few hours per week to progress in these games is such a delight, and it's mostly because of these talented voice actors. It was great that you had her for another interview, but sad that it was only 35 minutes... Also, please let her be V as the main character in CP2 again... pretty please.. :p

Cherami Leigh has made V my favourite protagonist in any video game. She brings so much ferocity yet quiet vulnerability as V, and any interactions she has with the likes of Carla Tassara as Judy and Keanu Reeves as Johnny are just superb. Absolutely phenomenal performance by her.

I really hope CDPR casts her and the other voice actors in the sequel

I'm really upset Male V ain't getting the praise he deserves..

For me female V will always be canon. As much as the male V performance is great, Cherami's portrayal of V is just out of this world. How much emotion she managed to put into even the smallest lines blows me away everytime i play the game, that alone made fem V become my favorite character in the game (alongside Johnny and Judy, all beautiful and heartfelt performances).
Thanks for the interview, dude! And big congrats to Cherami for all her amazing work!! ❤

I’m lowkey inlove wit this woman lollll

She adds soo much depth to the character with just her voice, it is incredible.
I know it makes little sense that Project Orion will feature V as a protagonist, but she is the main reason I would want it so bad to be able to continue the journey with V.

Nice. Hope we get a Gavin interview again now too

Cherami is an absolute pro. Her performance in CP2077 was so good, it brought out all sorts of emotions in me, and made me connect to V. Especially weak/afraid/vurneable V voiced by Cherami is super impactful and believable. There's a scene where V said "I promise, I promise" to Johnny and man, that truly ripped my heart out.
