replies: text: Within the commentary for Portal, her name is spelt "McClain" or "McClane" several times. Her voice is also used within the other games in the orange box, and the credits in the manual booklet thing list her as "McClain" in one game, and "McClane" in another. I just think they didn't know how to spell her name, and different people guessed different ways =] --86.156.229.17 (talk) 19:47, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

message: I've played some of these games but I can't think of her voice.  Since she is a voice actor would a recording of her voice be acceptable material?

replies: text: That's partly because she's REALLY good at doing other tones. I could lift a couple seconds of her speaking naturaly from the Portal commentary, if that's an acceptable entry. --Kinkoblast (talk) 16:46, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe get her saying "This is the final test" from the start of Test Chamber 19 in Portal. I'll search for info on copyright laws, but I'm pretty sure it'll be okay. It's just a couple seconds. Flash man999 (not logged in) 203.189.4.118 (talk) 06:17, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Wow, don't know how relevant this is guys.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.234.225.89 (talk) 12:47, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: This is very notable. I think many players of the games (and there are a lot) would want information about the very likable characters voiced by Ellen, and they need a page to codify that information. Sushovande (talk) 20:35, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

message: I believe she also does the opera singing for the turret opera bit, not sure of any citations I can provide though. I'm referring to this.

message: An additional Filmography note, she provided the voice of the witch in L4D2. Ref: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1655889/  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.234.241.127 (talk) 02:10, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: That's a bit misleading. The witch's voice is provided by stock sound effects of female crying and growling, not Ellen. Ellen's voice isn't heard in the first Left 4 Dead game except for in "Still Alive" on a jukebox added in "The Sacrifice". In Left 4 Dead 2, Ellen only provides the operatic soundtrack singing for the Wandering Witch during daytime maps. Dogman15 (talk) 10:59, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

message: 'In December 2011, she won the Spike Video Game Award in the category "Best Performance by a Human Female" for her voice acting as GLaDOS in Portal 2, unhindered by the ironic fact that GLaDOS isn't actually a human female.'
What exactly is the point here? As it's written, the award is for the best performance BY a human female, not FOR [the presentation of] a human female. I fail to see the irony.Weirdtheory (talk) 17:35, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

message: Ellen has been in a webseries called WISH IT INC. produced by Synthetic PictureHaus (https://www.youtube.com/user/syntheticph/videos) at YouTube, she played a "Fairy Godmother". Does a weberies (only had one season so far) qualify to be in a Wikipedia article? (t) Josve05a (c) 22:28, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
