[CelticDragon0]

*plays this and the mp3 at the same time*

[Skulldragon999]

Good cover

[jrmwise]

GO CHELL!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wesleyviera]

Chell 's voice finally!!!

[MrBretowsky]

Alésia's voice is cute.

[1acezero011]

Wait... if this is the song GlaDOS sang, then isn't this Caroline's voice?

[Gollum544]

@1acezero011 It surely Chell.

[TheOrasher]

chell is mute.

[holy80592]

@TheOrasher how do you know she might just be really really shy

[TheOrasher]

@holy80592

LOL

[sashabarasha]

pretty voice



[09TheHamish]

is that how Chell sounds like? or am i already supposed to know that

[bribear521]

36 people dont want chell to escape

[bribear521]

chell = awesome singer. >:P

[jrmwise]

ITSCHELL SINGING STILL ALIVE

[KhedK]

did you heard that?, is the sound of jhonatan coulton crying, please don't do these

PS: no matter what GlaDos said, I like this song

[MrOpenGamer]

If you see a religious person, you must kill them on the spot. There's no such thing as a good religious person. They are all the same; evil, twisted, deluded, psychotic malcontents who seek the destruction of society. Be warned, if we don't put an end to this blight, they will eat your children. We must kill the cancer before it spreads.

[GLaDOSsMailerDaemon]

@MrOpenGamer Om nom nom nom babies!

[bribear521]

@MrOpenGamer wow. you've got it all wrong. horribly.

[Makool]

Its the person that gave her face and body to Chell (meaning the actor/model) singing. And her name is generally spelled Alésia Glidewell. She is also the one giving her movements to Alma, and voice. Two quite different but also distinguished female game characters.

[carosax]

haha Cell sings lol :D

[Porkchopsism]

how the hell is she singing isn't she mute

[evilrobotstudios]

@Porkchopsism shes magic!!!

[metavash]

Look people, Alisa Glidwell is basically the star of the Portal series, I think she has the right to sing the song if it damn pleases her, so trolls, shut up. Also, she has a beautiful voice most likely more so than yours

[metavash]

That IS Chell, to clear up some confusion....

[SelmerDefender]

almost looks like selena gomez.

[shadowscorp12]

OH I JUST REMEMBERED THE SWEET FEELING OF DELIGHT AFTER BEATING THIS SHITFEST AND CLAIMING MY GOLDEN POTATO <3

[R34P3RZzCrY]

could this be chell singing O.o

[speedfox22]

lol ohh lol p.s lol

[vassatiny]

I remember how everyone thought this would be the ending song to Portal 2

hillarious times

[thethree6man]

ARG - another reality game or smt like that;)

[tehSPACECORE]

I don't like this much, but damn I can't stop listening this xP

[xXxMartin96xXx]

why ARG? means argentina? FTW?

[doomguy454]

this is glados voice realy REALY low

[amawii21]

this is chell but not after the neurotoxin,no,this is her after about 20 beers :P

[Malechell]

@amawii21 she does have brain damage,But the beers probably didnt help

[amawii21]

@Malechell lol so funny :D 

[amawii21]

i kinda wish someone would have done like chell's voice in the game or something kinda like how someone did the voice of gladoes,and chell would have said something to gladoes when she was calling her fat and just being rude because gladoes is pissed that she was killed.but nvm you ppl already know about what gladoes did by now :D but i wish they would have done that...

[thethree6man]

Yep. that't s Chell. After 2 hours of breathing pure neurotoxin.



[KafelObrotowy]

IT'S ALL THERE! BLACK AND WHITE ! CLEAR AS CRYSTAL! YOU GET NOTHING! YOU LOSE!!! GOOD DAY SIR!!!!

[SirTannen]

@KafelObrotowy Oh gawd it's willie wonka

[BlastBlooxer]

that should be voice of chell :P

[LPplayer209]

@BlastBlooxer chell cant talk so theres no point XD

[soberson08]

ew

[BlockisticStudios]

am i the only one who likes this

[frankenshizzle]

@BlockisticStudios ..i thought it was ok..

[polak212]

@BlockisticStudios Nope

[TrakMiro]

@BlockisticStudios No, but you're part of a minority IMO.

[flippyisthebesthtf]

it is Caroline remember GLaDOS deleted her and Caroline is GLaDOS so only Caroline and GLaDOS would know the song

[airbendingavatar1]

@TheZomgStuff Caroline is part of GLaDOS, she's not GLaDOS herself. Better idea considering this is likely Alesia Glidewell singing - this Chell right after the ending of Portal 2, singing GLaDOS's first song! :)

[danitiwa]

This is too young to be Ellen McLain, listen to voice clips of her talking. Ellen sounds much more mature. My theory; it's Alesia Glidewell.

[MrRoflWaffles]

EWWW

[danitiwa]

You guys this is very possibly Chell's voice/Alesia Glidewell.

Go listen to her voice reel on her official page, it sounds like her.

[MrEinsteinsassistant]

@danitiwa DUDE, Chell is a MUTE. Do you even know what a mute is? THEY DON'T TALK. Plus, Ellen McLain, who voices GLaDOS, sang the original Still Alive.

[danitiwa]

@MrEinsteinsassistant Okay first of all Chell CAN talk and it's been confirmed by ValvE, she just choses to stay silent due to her frustration. Second of all I am talking about her facial model Alesia Glidewell, the woman they modelled her face on who also modelled for Zoey from Left 4 Dead. So technically Alesia is her "real life voice", if Chell were to talk it's possible they would have used Alesia.

This is not the original Still Alive obviously, it's either Ellen without filters or Alesia.

[dudeboc5]

@MrEinsteinsassistant It hasn't been confirmed that chell is mute.

[elementcollector1]

@dudeboc5 However, an interview from Valve stated that Chell is not mute. She simply refuses to speak to her surroundings.

[lizerg700]

Told ya' not to drug Rebecca Black, Valve, but nooooo, you just fire me, and now look at this.

[starwarsfan767]

I bet this is CHell

[Supatsu]

I don't think it's Ellen...This singer even sounds like she has a slight accent, plus she vibratos slightly, something which if you listen to Ellen's commentary in the game, would probably be against her instructions to sound like a robot. Ellen is an opera singer and this singer sounds much younger and less mature vocally.

However, I could always be wrong. Just my two cents.

[mugge121]

@Supatsu Yep, your right. This is Alisa Glidewell, who portrays Chell in the Portal series. She has a slight accent due to(as stated in an interview by her) she is of Brazillian and Japanese descent, but she may have also picked it up during her travels as she has said she moved around a lot her whole life. :)

[TheWierdo67]

@Supatsu It was who was gonna voice Chell but Valve was like"Fuck it, shes not gonna talk, whats the point of it?" And, fired her, and brought her back for this

[xxXXArnold99XXxx]

@Supatsu Alisa Glidwell...

So,you're right.Even tough,Alisa Glidwell's face was used to model Chell's Face.

[thelittlesagg]

This is Ellen McLain. You can say its sung by Chell.

[mancity4lyf123]

Wow. No need to be a perv or anything but Chell (Portal 2 Version) is HOT!

[thelittlesagg]

@mancity4lyf123 Amen to that.

[10blinx]

O.O nice

[TheZomgStuff]

Hipster Caroline: "I sung this before i was made into GLaDOS"

[xPablo1376]

This is the actor who does GLaDOS without autotune she also did the ending opera.

you guys are retarded

[TheWHarlan]

@xPablo1376 They didn't autotune Ellen McLain, she sings soprano anyway, not alto or tenor like this song, the only modifications that were made to the voice actually move it out of tune to sound robotic!

[ChinchillaLoveable]

RAPE. and shut up about who ever it is that sings this

[mattinator14]

STOP SINGING AND ESCAPE :D

[baileycinnmon2]

omg  trolls killed kenny!!!!!!!!!

[SebastianMaker7]

Don't feed the trolls.

[Maeve2011]

@cmonmanomg It sounds like you got raped. HARD.

[DoctorWeeTodd]

@cmonmanomg This is Still Alive without the autotune. This is GLaDOS without the voice synthesizers. VALVe released this as part of the ARG and Portal 2 soundtrack.

[PokefanLoojopop]

@DoctorWeeTodd this does not even resemble ellen mclain's voice! if you listen to the ellen portal 1 commentary, you can totally hear the difference between HER un-autotuned, and whoever sings this...

[DoctorWeeTodd]

@PokefanLoojopop People singing sound different from how they speak.

And if you put the original Still Alive and try to reverse the autotune it sounds like this.

watch?v=PhDSEz1WijA

Does Caroline sound like Ellen McLain? How about the Fat Lady Turret who sings the opera at the end of Portal 2? How about the Overwatch dispatcher and public service annoucer? Or the Team Fortress 2 Administrator? They sound nothing alike and yet they're all played by Ellen McLain.

[francisngenius]

@DoctorWeeTodd STOP SPAMMING BITCH!!!

[DoctorWeeTodd]

@francisngenius I'll stop spamming when people stop keeping up the same things in replies.

[crabfight]

@DoctorWeeTodd

This doesn't sound like Ellen McLain. It sounds like Ms. Glidewell. :D

[PokefanLoojopop]

@DoctorWeeTodd I have actually seen that video before, and they altered her voice considerably when they tried to reverse the autotune. You want a line REALLY without autotune?

watch?v=DSU4YBkZtSs 5:08

Sounds nothing like this cover of still alive.

...oh, by the way, you are correct that all of the characters you mentioned sound different,

HOWEVER

If you look for it, you can always tell it's her.

You can't do that with this song, because it's a different voice altogether.

:D

[jetta420dog]

I ended the video at 0:04

[airbendingavatar1]

If only this version had the same rhythm as GLaDOS's version, then people could make Still Alive duets with Chell and GLaDOS! Though I guess someone could edit Chell's version to have the same rhythm or something somehow...

[ultimatehalo10]

is that chell's voice cause it looks like it could be

[samnoueilaty]

well ummm i think chell is kinda hot

[ShootingStarNeo]

I have decided for no reason that this is what Chell sounds like.

[Squeredead]

I was playing the original yesterday and I had commentary on,

one of the staff said that even though Chell was muted they needed to employ somebody for her singing voice.

They just got Ellen (GLaDOS Voicer) and didn't edit her voice

[crabfight]

@Squeredead

Nope. Listen to this: /watch?v=PhDSEz1WijA&feature=r­elated

GLaDOS's voice actor has a clear Southern accent. This is different.

[DoctorWeeTodd]

@crabfight Listen to it again. That's her, the southern accent is an imperfection of trying to reverse the autotune USING autotune.

Listen to how she pronounces STILL ALIVE here and in the video you just linked to. It's pretty close.

I'd be willing to bet my life savings that this Ellen McLain without the computerized effects. It's a cool easter egg and treat for the fans.

[crabfight]

@DoctorWeeTodd

Have you heard Alesia Glidewell's voice? More to the point, have you heard Ellen McLain's voice? SHE has a Southern accent.

[DoctorWeeTodd]

@crabfight I have heard Alesia Glidewell's voice. She voiced Carmelita Fox in Sly Cooper, has a bunch of demos on her website, and was interviewed on Steamcast.

Ellen McLain's has a slight southern drawl, but something like that is easily maskable especially by someone gifted in vocals.

Since you brought up the Commentary nodes:

DSU4YBkZtSs

@ 2:20 she reveals how she had to "maintain pronunciations" and robotic sounds. In this video the singer repeats awkward pronunciations robotically. Why?

[crabfight]

@DoctorWeeTodd

I mean, listen to her voice in the commentary nodes for P1 and then listen to that song I linked. That voice is different from this woman (who isn't singing as well IMO. :P)

[DoctorWeeTodd]

@crabfight People sing differently than they speak. (I used to think the Beatles were American because they're accents sounded American while singing.) They also can act differently.

Do you think her singing this song sounds anything like the Fat Lady Turret at the end of Portal 2? Or the Administrator from Team Fortress 2? Or the Overwatch dispatcher and public announcer from the Half-Life series? She does the vocals for those characters as well.

[crabfight]

LOL, now Chell's singing.

[ca1ek]

@crabfight No.This is not edited by computer version of still alive by Ellen McLain.

[crabfight]

@ca1ek

Uh, no?  It's a cover version with different music and a new singer. It sounds like Alesia Glidewell singing.

[TheWhatuh]

GLaDOS wins still

[sbsteambravo]

Cough cough....

[SamuelKPeter]

Alright, to clarify: The person singing in this cover is NOT Ellen. It is, however, the voice of whose Chell's face was based (Alésia Glidewell). In fact this cover wasn't even directed by Valve, but by three of the Potato Sack games' (including 123 KICK IT) indie developers who in my opinion where the ones who most participated in the ARG - Dejobaan Games.

[SamuelKPeter]

@SamuelKPeter *ahem*, I meant that this cover was arranjed by Dejobaan, who was responsible for three of the Potato Sack's games.

[livepower34325]

IT'S WHEATLEY'S MUM!

Moving on.

[laytonlover258]

Who do you think is singing? [ ] Chell (NEVER mark unless GLaDOS says otherwise) [ ] GLaDOS [ ] POTaDOS [ ] Ellen Mclain [ ] Cave Johnson [ ] Caroline [ ] Atlas [ ] P-Body [ ] Wheatley [ ] Companion Cube [ ] Turret [ ] Space Core [ ] Adventure Core [ ] Fact Core [ ] Storage Cube [ ] Emmy Altava [ ] Curiosity Core [ ] Intelligence Core [ ] Anger Core [ ] Morality Core [ ] The person who wake Chell up from her stasis [ ] Other What do you think?

[Sonicpwns97]

@laytonlover258 The Aperture Science Staff Members would like to take this opportunity to remind you that the Weighted Companion Cube cannot speak.

[dragonboyjgh]

for those who can't tell, that's Chell singing.

[MapleLunii]

@dragonboyjgh Nope. Its Ellen McLain.

[GameRaterAlpha]

Please rank talent of singer below:

[ ] Horrible

[ ] Poor

[ ] Average

[X] Good

[ ] Excellent

[ ] Perfect (Never Mark unless GLaDOS approves)

[zefzima]

I tried to synch this with the GLaDOS version and this one goes faster..

[TheAlphaShadows]

This is GlaDOS without the metallic effect... Chell is mute.

[jamiecranton]

@TheAlphaShadows The actor who plays GlaDOS doesnt sound like this irl i think its not chell either i dont think its anyone tbh, and chells not mute she refueses to answer to GlaDOS at all.

[Dolldarian]

@TheAlphaShadows hmm, dont think so. Ellen Mclain (GLaDOS' voice actor) is an opera singer, she can easily immitate the text to speech programs and thus according to valve doesn't need to use any effects on her voice.

[NuclearDuckie]

@Dolldarian Still sounds a hell of a lot like Ellen's voice.

[Dolldarian]

@NuclearDuckie Yeah it could still be Ellen come to think of it, but it would be a re-sing.

[MrShazDude]

0:17 "I bet you're science" CANNOT BE UNHEARD

Also the reason that Chell sounds so retarded in this song, well, remember that she got brain damaged?

[VideoVisionary77]

I think it is impossible not to sing along at some point to this song while alone

[toasterman9000]

this should be her voice :)

[MrStorrytime]

And here I thought her brain damage made her mute.

[superterroris]

and chell is hotter than ever

[GamerStation117]

@superterroris she is a video game character...

[Squeredead]

Guys, I don't think that it's sung by ANY of the characters from Portal or Portal 2. The ARG was mostly run by the Indie developers involved, so more likely than not one of them made this song, not Valve. Stop arguing about it :P

[shotgunshells2]

aww... i thought this was going to be a parody from chell's POV.

still a great song, but it'd have been even better if chell had started cursing out GLaDOS...

[airbendingavatar1]

If this is Alesia Glidewell singing, then YAY, Chell gets a song! If only the backgrounds of both versions sounded the same and such, then a bunch of duets could be made, orvtrios if you put the Chell and GLaDOS versions with the Johnathan Coulton version! CHELL FTW!

[y512516]

@viliussmproductions

nope

[viliussmproductions]

@y512516 oh.

[y512516]

@viliussmproductions

ah

[Sporademus465]

@viliussmproductions I dont think so, the original still alive wasnt even preformed by Ellen McLain....

[emansap]

Zoey? O_o

[MegaNattyboy]

chell looks more sexy in portal 2 that portal 1

[M4ut4ll1c4]

@MegaNattyboy you are right, in the first one she looked like a man with grey eyes.

[MegaNattyboy]

@M4ut4ll1c4 yea even when you had portal placement anywhere cheat on if you go really close chell looks like a fucking 100 year old zombie and he hips where like a hippo (not like ive been looking)

but in portal 2 she looks so better

[mattj0075]

she even wouldnt have time to sing when she gets out something pulls herback in

[TheVideoAnalyst]

I don't think this is the voice actor for GLaDOS.

[ElPandaDeLaAccion]

For those that didn't know Chell is a mix of Asian and Latino.

[tf2pl]

this is carolines voice signing (portal 2)

[XR11995]

Chell looks so hot on this piece!

[sephirothclone712]

:O ZOMG!

[gidioter]

@Toxic1888 heck yes!

[V3SGO2011]

The gun looks little?

[chromastone10]

best glados quote in Portal 2... " AH BIRD! BIRD! KILL IT! IT'S EVIL!" Cave Jonson, were done here

[gidioter]

@chromastone10 and best quote in game is "SPaaaaaaAAACe!"

[Raygun343]

Both portal songs

watch?v=Kq00zdS2kfo 

[dankuro97]

I think I recognize this voice from a comment from portal...

it's the woman that dubs glados in the game...

[Jlowe258]

@dankuro97 I thought so to at first but this was a cover and I couldn't find credits. If it isn't they definitely tried to find someone that sounded really close.

[shanedawsentv3]

wait i just relised chell is one old woman in portal 2 remember how many days was she asleep

[nightblade2020]

@shanedawsentv3 cryogenic storage means no ageing like bbeing freezed in a ice cube for 100 years and you would not age one bit

[shanedawsentv3]

@nightblade2020 who said she was in that she was sleeping :D

[shanedawsentv3]

i actuly thing its GLaDOS singing but when she was caroline

[Memory169]

@shanedawsentv3 This has to be GLaDOS. Listen to 1:00. Was Caroline killed before?

[shanedawsentv3]

@Memory169 no her brain was put in a disk and put in GLaDOS her body is in cryo as an easter egg look it up its awesome

[Memory169]

@shanedawsentv3 Portal 1 or 2?

[shanedawsentv3]

@Memory169 play portal 2 anfd you will understand 

[tdragon360]

@shanedawsentv3 lol, spoiler alert? XD and yeah is prob caroline

[shanedawsentv3]

wow chells hot without the jumpsuit

[ivo123ize]

need an mp3 now.

[ivo123ize]

sooo....thtas how chell looks.

[mspinksosu]

Could this be what the singer's voice sounded like before it was modified for the GLaDOS sound effect?

[Yimi97]

@mspinksosu It sounds pretty different. Play Portal 1 with the developer commentary and you'll hear the voice of the voice actor who did GLaDOS.

[MrForsakenBacon]

Who's singing?

[zeldamasterX]

Did you know that the "lady" who plays GlaDOS is an opera singer :) ? (in the dev commentary of portal1)

[MetaL556]

@zeldamasterX She's also the TF2 announcer and the female voice from the combine communicator.

[goldLizzzard]

Do you hear that? That's the sound of Jonathan Coulton crying. Don't do this...

[simplefox666]

what Zoey doing there?
