Saints Row[]

In a trailer for Saints Row, Playa has a small monologue:

I started out with nothin'... just a kid from the streets, with nothin' to lose. Then I met Julius,^[1] and everything changed. Once I joined the 3rd Street Saints, everything started going my way. I'd run some jobs, get paid, and lady luck was on my side. Now I have the women, the clothes, the rides, but it's not enough, I want more, I want it all. That's the great thing about this city, it's there for the taking. If you've got what it takes.

— Playa

In the first game, Playa has just four lines, the voice used depends on the race chosen during Player Customization. The Caucasian and Asian lines are identical.

Saints Row 2[]

In Saints Row 2, Playa's voice is chosen by the player separately from race and sex. There are six different voices to chose from; three male and three female. While many in-game lines change depending on voice selection, cutscene dialogue is essentially the same regardless of which voice is used, although as it is read by different actors, the delivery changes as well as some words being abbreviated.

This is our city. We'll do whatever the fuck we want.

In Saints Row IV, there are seven voices. Male Voice 1 (American), Male voice 2 (African-American), Male Voice 3 (British), Female Voice 1 (American), Female Voice 2 (French), Female Voice 3 (Southern), and Nolan North.

When idle, Playa sometimes breaks the fourth wall by talking directly to the player. For example, Male Voice 2 may say, "Do you ever wonder if something really cool happens when you're not watching?" Female voice 1 has been observed saying "Hey, you. You there... we gonna play this game or what?" or even "Pick up the controller. Pick it up. PICK. Up the controller."
