Resident Evil: Village actress spill the beans about Lady Dimitrescu

In an interview with PC Gamer, Maggie Robertson revealed her secrets about voicing and portraying her character. The internet has grown to call her the tall vampire lady, as the gaming studio didn’t reveal the name in initial days.

” In the performance capture studio they taped a weird half-hat thing to my helmet, and despite it looking interesting, it was actually really helpful to me as an actor. I got a sense of where Lady D’s hat would sit, and I played with the idea of her looking up at people under the brim. And the hat kind of curves as well, so I incorporated that into her physical movement. Nothing ever happens in a straight line when she moves. If she’s gonna look to the side, she’s gonna wind her way there. Everything is very indirect and curvy about her movements.”
