Voice Acting for Video Games
“I am always thinking, how are people going to enjoy playing the games we are making today? And as long as I can enjoy something other people can enjoy it, too.”
— Shigeru Miyamoto, Creator of Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Donkey Kong and more
Video Games are Big Business.
With gaming’s global value soaring (over $178 billion and counting) and tech like AR/VR/metaverse exploding, there are more games to be played than ever before. You need to give the players something extra: a reason to play your game over anything else.
That’s where the voice actor comes in!
Iconic performances are helping titles like The Last of Us and Baldur’s Gate 3 break new ground in storytelling and get the sort of acclaim usually reserved for arthouse cinema. A good voice actor doesn’t just read the lines; they immerse themselves in the world you’ve created and inhabit the soul of the character, digging deep under their skin/scales/feathers/exoskeleton (delete as applicable). They find light in the darkness and detail in the shadows, capturing the player’s imagination and opening a world of opportunities for gamer and developer alike.
