Ellen McLain, voice of GLaDOS, and John Lowrie sing "Want You Gone" from Portal 2 at the 2017 Game On Expo Check out my pictures from the event! prizem.gallery...
This woman made GLaDOS as memorable of a character as she is. The writing in Portal and Portal 2 was obviously some of the strongest I’ve ever seen in a video game (or any other kind of media for that matter) but Ellen McLain gave GLaDOS all the personality that made her my favorite video game villain of all time. Love you, Ellen.
They were going to use a Computer generated voice for GLaDOS, but after they recorded some lines with it, they found out it would cost more money than they had to use the voice, because to use the voice in a movie, or game, they'd have to pay money to the people who made the voice, so they eventually hired Ellen to do GLaDOS.
it's just a simple song in a classical singing style, not a whole role lol. any trained opera singer, or any singer in general, should be able to do this
@@Jenna_Miles sure, i've been doing it for years at choir lol we sit down during rehearsals. why is this your only response tho? have you nothing intelligent to say?
I remember when I first heard this song at the end of portal 2, I cried my eyes out and I still do. It's one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard in my life. Her voice is so wonderful and moving.
bruh what a legend she is she voiced a memory of all aka glados she is around 70 and still lives strong ( i hope ) she can sing amazing opera 💖 this is actually bringing me to tears thinking about how much fun portal has brought me and that she is amazing
Dear beautiful, dear my beautiful! Cara bella, cara mia bella! My little girl, O Chell! Mia bambina, o Chell! I respect you ... Ché la stimo... What I respect. Ché la stimo. O my dear, goodbye! O cara mia, addio! My dear little girl, La mia bambina cara, Why don't you pass away? Perché non passi lontana? Yes, far from Science, Sì, lontana da Scienza, Dear, my dear little girl? Cara, cara mia bambina? Ah, my beautiful! Ah, mia bella! Ah, my dear! Ah, mia cara! Ah, my dear! Ah, mia cara! Ah, my little girl! Ah, mia bambina! O dear, my dear ... O cara, cara mia... My dear! Mia cara! Ah, my dear! Ah, mia cara! Ah, my little girl! Ah, mia bambina! O dear, my dear ... O cara, cara mia...
People mention she's an opera singer but forget to say *this is the reason why she has been chosen to do GLaDOS' voice*. Gabe Newell fucking loves opera.
Ellen is like your mum who doesn't play video games but gets that you like them and then becomes the most iconic villain in video game history to support your hobby.
Ellen McLain is the reason GLaDOS is a likeable character. On top of that she's also why Portal was a successful game and still holds up to this day. Her immensely talented singing voice and her operatic Soprano. She's also memorable as the turrets, and even did voices for "Left 4 Dead" Her voice work in Left 4 Dead includes: The Witch (Aria, grunts and groans, most of her screams are stock footage) Common infected and some of the hoard vocals She's incredibly talented.
@@nono7117 there is a possibily based of the co op ending, bots found HUNDREDS of other test subjects and with the success of HL alyx and sugested continuation of HL series, portal will 99% make a comback
@Isabelle You're too lazy to type in the words "cara mia addio lyrics" on google, but not to type out that whole comment and have to come back to see the reply?
when i first finished the game and watched the turrets play and the opera turret sing- the performance moved me so deeply. it was beautiful, made my hairs stand up on end soon after i watched it on youtube with captions and BAWLED MY FUCKING EYES OUT and ofc a tear or two dropped just now. still a powerful and gorgeous performance :')
Cara bella, cara mia bella! Mia bambina, o Chell! Ché la stimo... Ché la stimo. O cara mia, addio! La mia bambina cara, Perché non passi lontana? Sì, lontana da Scienza, Cara, cara mia bambina? Ah, mia bella! Ah, mia cara! Ah, mia cara! Ah, mia bambina! O cara, cara mia... Mia cara! Ah, mia cara! Ah, mia bambina! O cara, cara mia...
and to think that this whole song, is dedicated to a DAUGHTER and that daughter was CHELL. this makes the game even sadder because chell hated her mom! HER MOM! i have to be careful right now, i dont want tears getting on my computer keyboard. Chell was with her mom all along, her mom was GLaDOS. how do i know? why in the hell would a turret write this? it HAD to be GLaDOS! i am crying so much right now, this makes me super sad.
*Sees Da Video* *still watching* *ends* me: Ok! Ill sing! Me: CAAAARAAAABELLAMIABELLAMIABANBINA!!!! O CIELLLLLLL!!!! QUE LAS TIMA QUE LAS TIMA O CARA BELLA ADDIO A MIA CARA A MIA CARA A MIA BAMBINA... O CARA CARRRA MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! *mom comes and knocks door* Mom: Son!? SOMEONE IS HURTING U!? Me: No mom...was me i was singing turret opera *mom has left the server*
