I am a little bit concerned about posting this, as would it be considered advertising? However, I wanted to approach the World of Warcraft community to ask them if they have any questions for Patty Mattson (Voice of Sylvanas Windrunner) I am so lucky to be interviewing her for an upcoming podcast episode of mine.
Disclaimer: She obviously can’t answer questions regarding lore or information on upcoming expansions.
Once again, Community managers / Moderators, if this post is inappropriate for the forums please delete.
(UPDATE)
Thanks to EVERYONE who asked questions, It’s really appreciated, this is for anyone who’s wondering, the episode will air on Tuesday 9 April at 5.00 PM GMT, 10 am PST and 1.00 PM Eastern Time. The podcast is available on platforms such as: Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google podcasts, Anchor, Breaker, Castbox, Overcast Rocketcasts and Radiopublic just search “Mentally Obsessed”
I’ve chosen 10 questions from both this threads comments and also the comments from the World of Warcraft community Reddit. So Unfortunately not everyone’s questions were noted down, however, I shall give Patty the link to the Reddit thread and this thread too so she can read the questions herself! 
Patty and I have limited the Podcast to 30 minutes long and it consists of 20 questions, 10 from me and 10 from the community.
Well done your questions were noted down:

Can you ask her what sort of long term effect doing the Sylvanas voice has had on her?
I can’t imagine it’s healthy to talk like that for long periods of time.
Yes, what would you like me to call you when I mention it to her?
I apologize in advance if I pronounce your name incorrectly. ^-^
What does she personally think of Sylvanas’ direction with the Horde?
My question would be - how does she personally feel about sylvanas as a character? what’s her opinion about her.
Thanks for your question; what should I name you in the podcast?
Nice question, thanks! What would you like to be named in the Podcast?
Not sure its one you should ask her but was the person behind the voice changed? She used to sound a little ethereal, now she sounds like a screeching harpy. I always found the “old” voice very apt, the new one less so. Or maybe my ears are just shot.
Does she ever get recognized by others/identified?
Did she have to audition for the part of Sylvanas or did she got offered the part?
And if she had to audition for it, how did she come across that part and intrigued her to go for it?

What is her favourite line from the game ?
One searching question would be to ask if she has a long contract… but that would be telling and anyway I don’t really want to know.
By the way… you lucky lucky person. Amazing. Well done.
What historical or fictional character she has found to be the biggest inspiration
for her voiceacting as Sylvanas for bfa?
How did she prepared herself for this role ( Sylv in bfa )
My forum name or Alexandra, at your convenience can be used.
Did she (Patty) laugh or cry when she saw Sylvannas new face in the last story line with Baine??
Just Nimrhys please. Pronounced Nim-riss.
How does she feel about voicing a very big and controversial character?
Sylvannas is beloved by many and she has just as much haters, she rose through the ranks and relevancy very quickly.
How does she feel about many critical opinions about Sylvannas ? and what does she think of it?
Ones such as she is only liked cuz of her " appeal ", " edginess " etc
Did she received instructions on how she was supposed to enact Sylvanas or was it her own take?
I’m asking because I was wondering why she has to be so over the top and overly dramatic in even simplest conversation.
