About
Sarah Elmaleh is an actor and voiceover artist best known for her work in videogames, notably player characters Katie in Gone Home and the Freelancer (voice and performance capture) in BioWare’s latest title, Anthem. She can be heard in critically acclaimed indie games (Pyre, Afterparty, Eliza), as well as AAA titles (Gears 5, For Honor, Days Gone). She has also starred in two games-themed dramas for BBC Radio 4: as a gamer hotshot in Drone Pilots, and as a passionate indie game maker in Game Over, which she helped develop.
Sarah has long been enthralled by the power of both games and the human voice to connect people to ideas, and to each other. The desire to help cultivate this intimate sense of connection drives her artistic work and community initiatives alike. Sarah brings her lifelong love of games and a decade of games-specific acting experience to every project, large and small. Creatively, she is energized by games that model authentic human dynamics in novel, playful settings and systems. Games that share or critically contribute to visions of inclusivity and justice – values close to her heart – are also especially exciting to her.
Sarah’s acting roots and earliest loves are classical theater and radio drama, and she has been heard on radio and TV, in commercials, promos, and penultimate show episodes. She spent a summer with the British American Drama Academy, sailed several seasons on tall ships, started a Japanese drumming course at Wesleyan University, and can be found most evenings dancing Argentine tango.
