From Vancouver Roots to a Global Stage
Frankie Kevich grew up in Vancouver and later moved to Southern California during high school. She voices Conduit in Apex Legends, a role that ties her to a game with a massive fan base. Her screen work spans TV and video games, with credits like Rainbow High, Suits LA, Fire Emblem Heroes, and Arknights. The story here follows her journey as a biracial actor and how Conduit fits into that mix.
Two Cultures, One Voice
Kevich identifies as Polipina—Polish and Filipina. She says being biracial comes with joy and pressure. Conduit’s background lets her bring that mix to life on screen and in game. The character’s ties to both her heritage and the world of Apex Legends give a fresh texture to the voice work. It’s a chance to show a blended background in a popular game, while staying true to Conduit’s moments and lines.
Growing Up in Vancouver and Finding Immersion
Kevich recalls loving Vancouver, rain, and the big mall culture. She spent late days at the arcade, the GameStop, and shops for anime figures. Those memories shaped her love of storytelling and performance. In Los Angeles, the outdoors dominate, but she misses that indoor space and the sense of community the mall could offer.
Games vs. TV: A Different Kind of Spotlight
Voice work in games puts a different kind of pressure. On set or in a booth, Kevich finds real excitement. She grew up loving video games and now enjoys diving into new worlds for long stretches. Games invite you to explore many genres and big worlds, which she finds especially appealing. There’s also a freedom in games that isn’t as common on camera, even when big audiences watch.
Conduit: Balancing Strength and Fandom
For Conduit, the team wanted a careful balance. The character admires other legends in Apex Legends but must prove she belongs. Kevich avoids making Conduit a pure fan who chimes in at every moment. She works to blend energy, grit, and a touch of awe. When Conduit speaks, the lines should feel earned, not gimmicky. The goal is to keep the character fresh and human, not a one-note bit.
The Craft of the Chirps and the Grit
Kevich talks through how she handles the game’s catchphrases. For every moment of control, she allows a small slip of emotion. A line here, a tiny fluster there. This helps players hear Conduit as real and multi-faceted each play session. It also avoids turning the character into a stereotype or a joke that wears out over time.
Apex Legends: A Living, Long-Lasting World
Apex Legends remains a long-running, ever-changing platform. The first weeks after Conduit’s debut were electric, with teaser content and fan art flooding in. Fans connected quickly, and Kevich felt the warmth from fellow voice actors and the broader fan base. She recalls the moment when Conduit was first shown as a breakthrough that mattered to her personally.
Representation That Resonates
Being a biracial actress who shares a Filipina and Polish background with Conduit matters to Kevich. She notes that representation in games can reflect real-world stories and bring depth to characters. She says the work comes with both beauty and pressure. It’s a chance to show family, heritage, and language in a big game. In Vancouver and beyond, immigrant communities offer a rich pool of stories. Kevich’s parents supported her dream and helped shape her view of gaming as both a hobby and a career.
Beyond Apex: Silent Hill f
Kevich also voices a part in Silent Hill f, the brand-new entry from Konami. The game promises a striking look and a psychological, not just gore-heavy, horror experience. Her character, Rinko, is a close friend of the lead, Hinako. The role lets Kevich explore a more distant, twisted form of herself as the story twists and deepens. She describes the project as a rare chance to work in a horror world that centers on mood and mind, not just shocks.
A New Kind of Horror, a New Kind of Storytelling
Silent Hill f aims to push past typical horror beats. It leans into heavy, thought-provoking themes while avoiding mere splashy scares. Kevich notes that this makes Silent Hill f feel distinct from many Western films and games. It’s a rare chance to be part of a legacy that mixes artful storytelling with dark, personal terror.
A Career on the Move
As she looks ahead, Kevich sees more than acting. She’s drawn to directing and wants to steer projects from behind the camera too. Her approach blends clear control with a wish to keep the art fun and open to new ideas. She remains a careful, curious artist who values every shift in her path.
What Fans Can Expect Next
For fans of Apex Legends, Conduit remains a lively, evolving presence. The same goes for Silent Hill f, with a release on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC slated for late September. Kevich’s voice helps keep both worlds vivid and memorable for players and players-to-be alike.
