Jonathan Coulton, who provided the song "Still Alive" for the first Portal, was asked to compose the game's final credits song, "Want You Gone".. Jonathan Coulton's song "Still Alive", which is sung by GLaDOS (voiced by Ellen McLain) over Portal ' s end credits, was considered a large part of Portal's success; in designing Portal 2, Valve desired to incorporate more music into the game ...
In Portal 2, GLaDOS initially resumes her role as test monitor in a now-ruined facility after Chell and Wheatley inadvertently reactivate her. This time, she makes no attempt to hide her contempt and hatred for Chell; partly because Chell destroyed her, and partly because her quicksave system has forced her to relive her death over and over since her deactivation.
As GLaDOS grew more important to Portal ' s story, McLain was asked to sing for the game, since she was a trained operatic soprano, given a scratch vocal version by Coulton. [4] [5] McLain's singing, which Coulton described as conveying "emotion in a non-emotional way", was modified to sound computerized. [5]
Portal is a 2007 puzzle-platform game developed and published by Valve.It was originally released in a bundle, The Orange Box, for Windows, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and has been since ported to other systems, including Mac OS X, Linux, Android (via Nvidia Shield), and Nintendo Switch.
GLaDOS sends ATLAS and P-body into four areas to access data discs. Once done, they are blown up, as GLaDOS claims it is the only way they can be retrieved from these areas. Later, GLaDOS commands them to retrieve a certain "surprise" in an area. They go in search, only to find hundreds of thousands of other test subjects in suspended animation.
Chell's origin is unclear; GLaDOS claims that in Chell's file it states that she is adopted. In Portal 2 , a long-abandoned science fair poster that was part of "Bring Your Daughter to Work Day" — the same day GLaDOS went rogue — is attributed to "Chell", implying that at least one of her parents worked for Aperture Science.

Wheatley is one of several personality cores created for GLaDOS; specifically, he was designed by the Aperture scientists as an "Intelligence Dampening Sphere" (or, as GLaDOS puts it, "the dumbest moron who ever lived") as a means to hamper GLaDOS's decision-making processes by injecting poor judgment into her routines.
"GlaDOS Song" written originally for the video game, Portal 2 as an Easter Egg but was cut during production. It was later released on his Soundcloud Account. Vocals by Ellen McLain. "The Princess Who Saved Herself" included on Many Hands for Haiti benefit compilation.
