Alyson Court & Carolyn Lawrence both confirm no involvement with Resident Evil 6

Horror enthusiast, collector, and creator.

 

News today confirms that both Alyson Court (the long running voice actor of Claire Redfield who has played her in Resident Evil 2, Code Veronica, Degeneration, and Darkside Chronicles) and Carolyn Lawrence (the voice actor of Ashley Graham in Resident Evil 4) have not done any voice work on Resident Evil 6 as of yet. Alyson notes on her twitter feed that she hasn’t done any voice work on the game or been contacted by Capcom, and as far as she knows, Claire Redfield is not in Resident Evil 6.

Carolyn Lawrence, who was kind enough to answer via email, confirms that she hasn’t done any voice work for Resident Evil 6. She also expresses her hope that it’s not Ashley in the trailer and if Ashley was to ever return to the series one day she would love to play her, and hoping Ashley could grow to kick butt handle herself outside of the, “Save me,” role.

While this isn’t 100% confirmation that neither Claire Redfield or Ashley Graham are in the game, it does make it seem increasingly unlikely. First off, it seems that the voice acting of Resident Evil 6 was finished a few months ago in November as that was around the time voice actors started adding their roles in the game to their portfolios, which is usually done when a role is completed.

Claire Redfield is the only character in Resident Evil that has pertained her original voice actor through the whole series. Alyson is the voice of Claire Redfield and if Claire was to play a role in the game it is almost certain Alyson would be the one to voice her. While Ashley is a bit more debatable, Carolyn has made it clear that if Ashley was to ever return to the series she would be more than willing to voice her and as of yet Capcom hasn’t contacted her about Resident Evil 6. This, added with the fact the blonde-hair woman in the trailer is already voiced, is claimed by IGN to be Sherry Birkin, and has green eyes rather than Ashley’s hazel, lead us to believe that the blonde-hair woman is not Ashley.

We’ll continue to bring you news on Resident Evil 6 as it develops.

    U would think that it would of been Ashley because the story has to do with the President.So it must be Sherry.Id hate to think of a Resident Evil game without Claire.I wish that we could get them all of them in one game.Claire,Chris,Leon,Ashley,Jill,Rebecca,Ada,Sherry & so on.Why can’t or won’t they do that?They all are so important to the Series & Story!

    BAM. What did I tell you guys. HA! lol just saying :P

    About Ashley ^

  • Jon

    The blond woman from the trailer looks more like Sherry than Ashley after looking at the pictures. Also besides the different eye color, her nose and ears don’t look like Ashley’s.

    Here’s a comparison shot i found online:

    But the President will be in 6, so you would think Ashley would show up again.

  • ale

    RE4 takes place in 2004, the President had barely taken his place then, RE6 takes place in 2013, so it is a different president.

    Also I wouldn’t mind seeing Ashley back but actually defending herself, but I always knew it was Sherry. Although I have to say the voice in the video does sound a lot like that from Ashley.

  • Kris

    Didn’t resident evil 4 take place in 2004 or 2005? and according to the xbox live details on their site re 6 supposedly takes place 2013. So i’m pretty sure its a different president by now? Even if he was re-elected his term would be up. So Ashley would have no purpose in re6, but that’s only if you’re following the xbox live details that everyone is talking about. The xbox live info also says it takes place 10 yrs after raccoon city incident showing 2013 which is obviously wrong. So who knows :D Putting too much thought hahaha.

  • jailbreaker

    thanks for the posting because a lot of people where saying Ashley’s V.A. had confirmed that she was in 6 but there wasn’t any proof. The Sherry fans lost this fight twice with 4 & 5 but looks like she finally might be back and I couldn’t be any happier cause really ashley? Hopefully we get to kill a zombie version of her right with the president B^ ]

  • Anon

    I WANT JILL!!!… in RE6 ^-^

  • Henrik

    I want Sherry,but looks is hard to go on eye colors has changed during the series aswell as looks.
    Chris has new look and Jill seems to change face for each installment.

    So by look only its hard too see ethier if its Ashley or Sherry,hope for the later though.

    As I wrote on gamefaq only beacuse we see the death of the president does not mean we will see his daughter again.

    Leon as a goverment agent does not warrent him to meet Ashley automaticly ethier.

    Its equally large chance for Sherry.

    The main reason to work with the goverment was to secure Sherry’s saftey to begin with as he was somewhat forced into it if one shall believe epilouges of RE2/RE3.

    Heard about Court twitter yesterday that sucks.

    There is Chris/Leon war on gamefaqs.com wished for a female lead before those two was revealed wants it even more now with this flamewars stealing RE6 boards.

  • c

    If they do the next re soon it better involve claire only. No crap partners or co op. And enough of leon and chris!

  • Grace Saunders

    The thng I want to know is, why is Alex Wesker involved with Sherry?

  • liam

    I twitted alyson and she was actually kind enough to tweet me back she also said she hasnt done anything yet but She would like to.

  • OverCasanova

    @Grace

    IF the supposed man is Alex Wesker.

    I believe Sherry had probably been trained over the years (if Blondie is her)

    Lets face it guys.. Sherry being trained and being that blonde chick was more realistic than it being Ashley -.-

    But I have a theory that maybe she ended up being put with Alex Wesker or whatever and that she was brought up to believe he is the good guy, or maybe he is…. :)

    If it’s either of them..

  • nemesis91286

    Well that sucks. I was really hoping that Claire would make it into the game since she hasn’t been in a Resident Evil game since RE:CV =(

    • HopefulClaireFan

      Well, she was in Darkside Chronicles and the Mercenaries, but they hardly count as they present no new material that involves her. But still, it’s nice to see that CAPCOM hasn’t forgotten about her at least. :

  • PS3Y2J

    I honestly think that their lying to throw us off. Maybe not. Hope to see Claire at one point again.

  • http://www.blackxino.blogspot.com xino

    well it can be Sherry berkins or Ashely using another person’s voice.

    because that voice of the character sounds like Ashley (from RE4) to me

  • TrueAnakin09

    Disappointing… I really wanted to see Claire and Ashley in six but looks like that won’t be happening. Of course, I find it interesting that everyone thinks Ashley would be there because of the president. Anyone consider that it’s a new president and Leon just maintained his position?

  • StuntmanSnake

    ^ When the president says “I’ve always valued you friendship, Leon.” it kinda implies that it’s the same President that had Leon find his daughter in 4.

  • http://www.prizerebel.com/index.php?r=500898 REDX

    ^ but this game takes years after RE4 so it has to be someone new (President).

  • Estelvea

    T_T

    No Claire? I am disappointed! Alyson Court has always done a wonderful job as her.

  • StuntmanSnake

    @ REDX: He could of been elected again for President. Also, if that’s not the case, you still refer to former Presidents as Mr. President.

  • Rickodez

    RE6 passed in 2008, Capcom says.

  • http://www.relyonhorror.com Leonknight23

    @StuntmanSnake you got a point. when the pres says “I always valued your friendship Leon” it seems that he knows Leon for a long time , so it’s possible that he got re-elected. Leon has earned the president’s trust by rescuing Ashley in RE4 and preventing a bio-terrorist attack using only a handgun in Degeneration. BTW if Ashley does reappear, let’s hope she has learned how to fend for herself instead of screaming “LEON HELP!!”

  • pat

    AHH . . . That sucks! I really REALLY wanted claire in it. Especially if that girl is sherry, then literally everyone involved around claire is in this except claire. We haven’t had a game with her in it since CV and we’ve had tons of leon and chris, don’t get me wrong I love them, but there should be rotations going around. We’ve seen what theyve been up to, what about Claire? If anything this game would kick ass if it were claire and jill together. Still excited. . . just dissapointed, its been 12 years since we’ve had claire in a game. Kinda pathetic!

  • http://www.relyonhorror.com Ryan Stanford

    @pat: Claire was playable in both Darkside Chronicles and Mercenaries 3D. I know those are technicalities, but she voiced in both of them and was featured in both.

  • Alex

    Ashley also has very obviously amber-colored eyes, while this blonde in RE6 appears to have blue eyes.

    So sad Claire isn’t in it though, how silly.

  • Jai

    You know it’s not uncommon for actors to lie about their involvement in productions – just saying…

    • Guest

      Lies.

  • Abc

    some of you guys need to stop playing video games

  • Starkilledboy

    I think Claire needs here own game already. Enough Chris and Jill. Its been done over and over before. It is nice seeing sherry again though.
