Reviews, Awards and Publicity:

Whatever Diandra did to understand the scene and identified with the character worked magnificently, an obvious benefit from her many years in improv comedy.    Her interaction with other characters credibility demonstrated the common history they all shared while maintaining the individuality and integrity of her role.   Behind the scenes, she was a treat with whom to work, friendly, considerate and attentive.   As a stand up comedian, I particularly appreciated both her quick wit and delivery.   I've added her to my roster for future projects and look forward to working with her again.

Diandra is a pleasure to work with. She has no problems helping out in any way, if it's coaching an actor on their lines, rescheduling her hectic day or being fabulous on camera. Very rarely do you get a natural beauty and a character actor all rolled into one. Diandra has now become one of my go to people.

Diandra Lee is a diligent artist, showing conscientiousness in taking up an acting role and developing herself in it to the fullest extent. She is not afraid to take on challenges but is proactive in seeking the way through new territory. She puts her soul into her work and is a pleasure to work with.

Diandra was absolutely fantastic to work with. Her performances come from such a genuine place of deep understanding and compassion for her characters.  She was also incredibly generous and giving to her fellow actor in both the rehearsal and filming process. I feel very grateful and fortunate that she was a part of our project.  The caliber of her work is outstanding. I can't wait to see where she goes from here.

Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny (PS2) Review 2002: www.gamesextreme.net

 

 

... In Onimusha 2 ... the musical score is simply excellent, it drives the story on with a forceful beat that transports you back to the time period as you cut a swath of destruction through your enemies, desperate to get that last soul that might give you a new level of power for one of your weapons. Ambient sound again is excellent, once more drawing you in and providing the much needed atmosphere. Voice acting is medium to good, some of the actors are great, a few are the typical variety found in these sorts of games but nothing that detracts or spoils the game.
