    I don’t know why, but “as a survivor myself” is what broke me and that’s when I started crying. My trauma isn’t anything like Astarion’s but between the character himself and knowing that Neil really truly knows what it’s like to *have* trauma, understands it, and stands with us, it makes me love and respect him so much more. Congratulations, Neil!! You deserve all the love, support, and success in the world ❤

    that changed the tone from happy to sad 😬 I never like to be reminded of things like that, but I have a different video game with a character who inspires me to carry on and hope for a better future so I understand why he felt the need to mention that. Because while it is just a video game, and one with fantastical creatures in it, there are very human themes within it (or at least within Astarion's story, I haven't played it), and I'm glad others can feel like there's a fictional character out there who they can relate to, and who understands, and who can hopefully inspire them somehow.

    That part had me crying. Some of Astarion's trauma was very similar to mine and really hit home. The emotion in his voice, his body language, all of it was spot on and perfect. His story in a way has helped me tackle some deep-rooted trauma that I thought I wasn't going to be able to touch or better yet even face. Astarion gave me the courage to finally put my foot forward and take control of my life again, breaking the chains of my own abuse. Astarion and Neil are always going to hold such a special place in my heart. Neil did such a phenomenal job with Astarion and he deserves all of the love and support in the world. Thank you for bringing this character to life the way you did. You're an amazing actor Neil and your community is so proud of you ♥

    The moment he said that I was like WHO HURT YOU This man is a treasure, and he thanks us, but Astarion would not be the character he is without Neil. Period. And as for all the other work he did for the game - the mocap, the directing, the collaborations. I truly think he doesn't realise that he is just as instrumental as the other people he thanks.

    It is no small thing to make trauma in a fictional character seem authentic. It doesn’t even have to be similar to the trauma another suffered for them to feel seen; to feel they aren’t alone in the world with their experiences. Trauma can be so isolating and cruel - thank you as an actor and the entire BG3 cast and writers and crew - for making those of us who often feel invisible and unlovable feel seen and maybe able to heal. ❤ congrats on this honor. Here’s to many more for all of you.

    The fantastic part is that with Astarion it's not only his voice that conveys his emotion, Neil literally embodied the character with the mocap. It's so perfect. His performance of the character truly goes beyond just the voice, though the voice alone is incredibly done in it's own accord.

    @@Not_Ciel For sure! That's why I often correct people when they say "voice actor", because it's not just voice acting, it's performance capture. It's not even just voice and mo-cap either, because mo-cap doesn't capture facial expressions, just the body movements. Roger Clark (Arthur Morgan in RDR2) is also very touchy on the subject, and rightfully so because calling it only voice acting does a disservice to how much work they put into it!

    It is truly a remarkable achievement to create such a theatrical and over-the-top character and still perform those raw, gutwrenching moments as that same character, without either of those feeling fake or disjointed or forced. But that's also the thing: Astarion uses his theatricality to hide, to keep people at a distance he has control over, much like Chandler in Friends used his humor as a shield. It's very noticeable when Halsin propositions you and you go talk to Astarion about it, he does this loud, boisterous theatrical thing again, which signals to me that even though he _said_ he was fine with it, he wasn't actually fine with it. At least not as much as he made it seem.

Just hearing you talk about it shows how passionate you were about the role and what the character meant to you. Thank you for helping give life to such a complex and intriguing character, and thank you for your part in helping create the amazing work of art that is BG3! This game came out during a time in my life where I really needed it. I'd been stuck in a pretty deep depressive rut for a while, and usually when I get like that, the only thing able to pull me out is some kind of inspirational work or character. Astarion was that character for me after such a long, apathetic drought of just not really caring about anything anymore. BG3 as a whole has just filled my life with so much fun and joy. So thank you for that and for being an all-around awesome dude. Here's to hoping (knowing!) there will be plenty more awards and accolades down the road!

    Congrats! You truly deserved this. Astarion's writing and your performance mean so much to me, as I'm a survivor myself of multiple SAs. Astarion has helped me realize that boundaries are a thing that I really should set. That I can say "No". Though it's one of the worst things in the world to say "No" in any number of ways and have someone ignore you. He's taught me I CAN heal, and perhaps even fully trust people again. That it's okay to be scared, but being vulnerable with those you DO trust and allowing them to help you heal can change everything for the better. He's also taught me that it's okay to heal at my own pace; that I don't need to rush things. I could probably go on, but I'm sure anyone reading this gets the gist. So once again, thank you so much for giving your all in this performance, it's really helped so many people, including myself. Best wishes and utmost happiness to you. ( And anyone who reads this

    Oooooooh myyyyy goooooood!!! The biggest most heartfelt congratulations Neil!!! I am so damn happy for you! I’ve never cried for a nomination before but I most certainly did just now! 😭 You are so humble and passionate and the fact that you truly understand the depth of this character is not only obvious in your performance but also very beautiful to see. I personally am one of the people who feel seen and represented by Astarion’s story and watching him throughout the journey is as nerve wracking as it is healing at points. Thank you! Thank you so so much for everything and for the emotions and passion you put into your work! You deserve to be recognize for it and this award is only the beginning I’m sure! ❤️ And OMG! Using this Astarion’s phrase at the end makes my heart flutter! I talked about it to a friend and how Astarion says it at the beginning of the relationship and at the end and how completely different it sounds. So this was just perfect! Congrats again! ✨

    Well deserved. All of the VA in Baldur's Gate 3 are incredible and deserve praise but Neil has still managed to shine even in a sea of diamonds, not just in terms of his VO but as a human being, his dedication to the character of Astarion and going out of his way to connect with the fans and stream himself play the game and the amount of support he has even provided to not just his fellow co-stars but also fans who streamed the game is something I've never before seen from any actor of his caliber. Absolutely amazing person.

    I am so happy Neil won. I was cheering every time BG3 won an award. It was was basically like Return of the King at the Oscars. BG3 just won everything it was nominated in. And with every right. Also if I saw that correctly Neil won with 43% in a category so many people were nominated in. That is a testament to how many people he reached and how many people loved his performance. I am so happy for him and the BG3 team. Thank you for that performance. We fans feel like you said at the end of your speech as well. "This is a gift, you know. Thank you. I won't forget it."
