COUNT TO THREE ■ Ellen McLain: Live Sessions Cut + Behind the Scenes ■ Valve Song

There's already more than 400k subscribers on our channel, which is insane! To express our gratitude for your amazing support, we want to share something special with you guys. It's time to show you the videos from the recording sessions of Count to Three AND some extra content and bloopers recorded during the session with ELLEN MCLAIN herself!

As you already know, our latest release is dedicated to VALVE — the company behind Half-Life, Portal, Counter-Strike, Team Fortress, Left 4 Dead, DOTA 2 and much more. We asked Ellen McLain, the original voice of GLaDOS from “Portal” and “Portal 2”, to record the vocals as GLaDOS and turrets for the song, and she kindly agreed to do that!

In the video you'll also see some other familiar faces, who recorded their parts for us:
THE STUPENDIUM, who portrayed Gabe Newell; Valve’s CEO, GABE NEWELL himself, who recorded a couple of lines that made a crazy cameo in the video; Holly Turton, a brilliant vocalist who sang as Alyx and the musicians: our own guitarist Ergy, Weber Marely's wind band and Matias Menarguez, the drummer.
You'll also see most of the faces of our Chalksters Choir!

still can't believe you got ellen mclain and gaben

[shadowldrago]

Ellen sounds like the sweetest woman. Like, she has the 'sweet old grandmother' voice and she sounds like she's having so much fun.

[ringpop]

Ellen's GLaDOS voice without the effects sounds like a really nice grandma that decided to try and help with your music class project

[CiruPlays]

when ellen said "target acquired" in the turret voice, i lost it XD

[bamboostick]

Hearing glados voice by a human feels beautifully weird

[kiddo]

Ellen McLain is a national treasure
Edit: due to valuable input, I change this claim into that she is and INTERNATIONAL treasure, not just national

[HAWXLEADER]

Can we just appreciate how well the sound engineers reverse engineered the GLaDOS sound?

[balintx]

It's just the longer I sing ᵀʰᵉ ʰᶦᵍʰᵉʳ ᴵ ᵍᵒ

[axeonee]

Ellen mclain looked like she was having a lot of fun. So nice of her to agree to do this. I still can't believe you guys got both Ellen Mclain and Gaben. The fact that gaben agreed to do this may not be a coincidence.

I like how in the Portal developer commentary Ellen McLain said she doesn't even play games, and here she even knows about Valve not knowing to count to count to three

[TheHiddenNote]

I absolutely adore Ellen. She's an amazing person.

[Gobershmat]

Absolutely obsessed with Stupendium’s face when he says Alyx 0:52

[diegojunco]

2:14 Todd Howard making a special collaboration with Valve

[silver-ag]

Stupendium is one underrated musical artist, with a criminal low amount of subscribers.

[josias]

I'm extremely glad that Ellen still can do GLaDOS' voice to this day, it really rises my hopes to se Portal 3 someday.

[Kevin-jbpv]

I didn't know Ellen McClain was also the turrets. She damn well nailed them without even seeming to try and without the vocal effects layered on. Dang.

[ultra_gagayay]

6:04 "there would never be a three"

Oh... Okay _starts crying in the corner_

[THEFIREHAWK]

I had no clue how y’all got the instruments to sound so good. Found out it’s because they are real instruments.

[bredoffender]

3:54 holy shit she's gonna tell sniper

[TheDiion_]

2:20 I can't believe they got John Lennon to star in the song!
