Alésia Glidewell

Alésia Glidewell (born December 8, 1978 ) is an American video game voice actress who served as the base for Chell's face and body.

She also served as the base for the original model of Left 4 Dead's Zoey, but she was replaced by Sonja Kinski when the characters' designs were changed (she is therefore not credited, although a picture of the model can be seen on her website). In the past she performed the motion capture animations of another video game character, Alma Wade, for F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin. She has voiced several video game characters in Sly 2: Band of Thieves, Star Fox: Assault and Super Smash Bros Brawl.

Glidewell is of Brazilian and Japanese descent. She speaks fluent Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese, is an animal lover and a science fiction fan. Her father is Brazilian American and her mother is Japanese. She is also the owner of a small film production company, Snagbuddy Films. In 2008 she relocated from Seattle to Los Angeles where she currently resides.
