Voice actor Judy Alice Lee appeared at Dragon Con 2026 to discuss her extensive career in video games, animation, and audio engineering. She shared insights into her dual role as both the speaking and singing voice of Melinoë in Hades II, noting the challenge of maintaining the character's breathy, restrained vocal quality across dialogue and music. Lee credited Supergiant Games audio director Darren Korb for helping keep performance consistency during sessions.

The interview also covered her transition from recording engineer to performer on Ghost of Tsushima and its sequel, Ghost of Yōtei. Lee reflected on her long-standing work with the Call of Duty franchise since Black Ops 4, highlighting a memorable session recording exertion sounds that she attributed to her taekwondo background. Additionally, she discussed her approach to cold reading scripts versus preparing in advance, particularly when handling complex accent work which often requires coaching.
