The Voice of Kalecgos: We Chat with Voice Actor Andrew Russell
All of the fans were out at BlizzCon, including some fans who worked on the games we love. One of those is Andrew Russell, a voice actor who you may know best as Kalecgos. Andrew is a huge World of Warcraft fan as well as being pretty much the nicest person on the planet.
As one might expect from Kalec. We had the chance to sit down with him and chat informally about Voice acting, Kalec, and his love for World of Warcraft.

We start by asking Andrew about his career:
Andrew:
I actually started in theater, musical theater. I toured with a musical called Jersey Boys, the Broadway version.
I toured for a year and a half with them, and then I got into voice acting after that. I have since left that world and moved into the voice acting world.
Wowhead:
Wait, musical theater? Does this mean that we could have Kalec sing?
Andrew:
So the dream is that Jaina and Kalecgos could sing a duet or something.
I'd love to see it.
Wowhead:
You and Jaina were once an item...
Andrew:
I know! We need to make it happen!
Wowhead:
What got you into working on games?
Andrew:
So when I was in middle school I was playing some video games at the time, I believe I was playing Guild Wars and World of Warcraft. I was playing Guild Wars more because it was free (laughs). I was playing one day and it dawned on me one day that the characters talking were actually people.
