| 362s | guess you guys have stories of like what |
| 363s | led you to sort of this this job were |
| 365s | you guys always wanting to be voice |
| 366s | actors is that something that you kind |
| 368s | of fell into how do you get this job in |
| 369s | the first place I went to |
| 373s | lunch I mean who doesn't yeah no um I I |
| 377s | really really fell into voice acting |
| 379s | because um so my friend Yoshi who is |
| 382s | still my studio partner he's |
| 384s | awesome I was going to lunch with him |
| 387s | and he is was signed with one of the top |
| 389s | agencies in LA and he was back in the |
| 392s | day you couldn't audition from home you |
| 394s | had to go into Studio at your agency and |
| 396s | then send out your audition so archaic |
| 398s | yes so oh he was going to audition I was |
| 400s | like oh cool can I come like I've never |
| 403s | done anything and then he was |
| 404s | auditioning for something Japanese so I |
| 406s | was like oh cool can I read also um and |
| 409s | then he talked to his agent on the spot |
| 411s | and I got signed it's amaz yes and that |
| 414s | was Abrams um and since then I've been |
| 417s | around oh that's amazing and like from |
| 419s | that point for it's like a lot easier to |
| 421s | get it I I guess it was easy in the |
| 422s | first place it sounds like yeah no I |
| 424s | just got very lucky and I mean I was in |
| 426s | musical theater so you know you was used |
| 428s | to using my voice and vocals but um just |
| 431s | for this one G for this game in |
| 433s | particular I didn't have to yell or |
| 435s | shout like he did and I also wasn't mean |
| 438s | to anyone like she was um I was I think |
| 441s | like the um the word that would describe |
| 443s | a character would be like merciful you |
| 446s | know that's like really comes to my mind |
| 447s | but it's a lot of fun yeah |
| 450s | um how about Kevin how about you I mean |
| 454s | I'm I'm a big nerd I have like thousands |
| 457s | of hours in my steam library and I play |
| 461s | World of Warcraft to nauseating limits |
| 465s | um so I sort of just decided I'm just |
| 467s | going to dedicate every fiber of my |
| 470s | being to this little tiny world and I |
| 473s | got insanely lucky at 16 points um and |
| 479s | somehow I'm like sitting in front of |
| 480s | cameras right now I'm really not sure |
| 482s | what happened me Nei I play a real weird |
| 485s | competitive game of pretend yeah fake it |
| 488s | do you make it right yeah yeah I mean I |
| 490s | mean even just in the job I mean I sit |
| 491s | in a in a in a box and yell into a |
| 494s | microphone it's like a magic world that |
| 496s | I get to be a part of it's wild I think |
| 498s | there's something quite unique about I'm |
| 500s | getting serious now |
| 504s | um no I'm talking about the business um |
| 507s | it is is really unique about digital |
| 508s | extremes about how they have celebrated |
| 511s | us and allowed us to put us forward for |
| 513s | all of this stuff it really isn't I mean |
| 516s | obviously i' I've we I've done this a |
| 518s | few times but really this this but this |
| 520s | is the first time you've done it on |
| 520s | behalf of a game though like you came on |
| 522s | your own and he just showed |
| 525s | up yeah yeah I had to disguise myself to |
| 528s | get in this time um that's why you're |
| 530s | wearing yeah it is no one saw me was he |
| 532s | dressed like that last he changes |
| 534s | disguises every time chimy sweep last |
| 536s | time yeah but they have they have this |
| 538s | is this is an incredible company who put |
| 539s | so much faith in us and are platforming |
| 542s | us which is so cool because you know I I |
| 545s | don't I think actors in video games |
| 547s | sometimes get not sidelined but you know |
| 550s | the game is the star and that is rightly |
| 552s | so cuz people you would say that you |
| 554s | don't buy video games for the actors but |
| 557s | there has just been this beautiful thing |
| 558s | of including us in the cycle of |
| 560s | promotion and hype and saying get |
| 562s | excited about us as people and get |
| 564s | excited about us as characters because |
| 566s | that's what this update is it's can you |
| 569s | get invested in the hex group can you |
| 571s | get invested in these people who you now |
| 573s | can romance let's get invested in these |
| 575s | people because they they support us and |
| 578s | it's been the most amazing experience to |
| 579s | work with Reb and the rest of the team |
| 581s | and I I can't say enough good things |
| 585s | about digital extremes and the way they |
| 587s | treat the their actors and also their |
| 589s | staff it's incredible do you get the |
| 591s | sense that that like they think you're |
| 593s | valuable to what they're doing right |
| 595s | like and that's that helps that |
| 597s | something you feel good about yeah it's |
| 599s | it's supposed to be experience anyway um |
| 601s | and again like like Ben said you the |
| 603s | game is the star but then if you're |
| 605s | putting actors in The the starring roles |
| 607s | of the game um it just adds to the |
| 610s | entire experience the imers of |
| 611s | experience but so people get invested |
| 613s | and connect that can't happen unless you |
| 615s | are collaborating unless you're having |
| 617s | fun because it's supposed to be a |
| 619s | creative play you know um yeah yeah and |
| 622s | then uh like you say collaborative but |
| 624s | it's also collaborative with the player |
| 625s | right cuz the player like when they like |
| 627s | a character they like everything about |
| 629s | the charactera including the person |
| 631s | doing the role right and they they want |
| 632s | to have they want to think about that |
| 634s | person as much as they want to think |
| 635s | about the character or in some cases |
| 637s | they do right is that something you've |
| 639s | experienced uh yeah I mean I'm new to |
| 641s | this world actually um you know I come |
| 644s | from theater and in the screen so I |
| 647s | guess so um you know when you when you |
| 649s | see online there's a lot of uh there's |
| 652s | some good lot people have very intense |
| 657s | opinion they're spending hundreds of |
| 660s | and you it's not just about you the |
| 663s | character it's about what that period in |
| 666s | time meant to them what the issues that |
| 668s | that character goes through means to |
| 670s | them personally so the the connections |
| 672s | are very strong and very visceral it's |
| 674s | it's fascinating kind you want you want |
| 677s | to lean into that as well you want to do |
| 679s | them real |
| 682s | service can get it can get weird gu I've |
| 685s | seen the fan art |
| 689s | I but that is the value right people |
| 691s | build real real relationship |
| 693s | relationships with these characters and |
| 694s | then yeah you lean into it uh is that |
| 698s | something you think uh you know a |
| 699s | company like digital extremes is showing |
| 701s | hey people you we'll put them front and |
| 702s | center people care about this is this |
| 704s | something like a roadmap for other |
| 706s | Studios going forward you guys want to |
| 707s | do more of this yeah hell yeah yes yeah |
| 710s | because it's like a level of trust in us |
| 713s | as people and especially the casting |
| 715s | that's happened is it feels quite |
| 717s | authentic and it values what we bring to |
| 719s | those roles rather than just going do a |
| 721s | silly voice do it now say the words it's |
| 724s | um it's valuing us and what we bring to |
| 726s | the table and we all get to play |
| 728s | together now rather than separately yeah |
| 731s | and uh when you guys are are taking on |
| 735s | roles in the future uh do do you feel |
| 737s | like okay I got to be thinking about |
| 739s | building my personal brand as well |
| 741s | alongside of the work I'm doing is that |
| 743s | something unless you thinking we have a |
| 744s | choice and what we |
| 747s | get it's very sweet of you uh I like I |
| 750s | think I think often like we know we |
| 751s | audition we still audition of course and |
| 753s | I think all of us irrespective of |
| 755s | success that you get which is amazing |
| 757s | you're still a working actor and I think |
| 759s | it's important that people understand we |
| 760s | don't get to always cherry pick what we |
| 762s | want to do for our careers and things um |
| 765s | if we're lucky we get offered the |
| 767s | opportunity to audition for interesting |
| 770s | exciting projects very occasionally we |
| 772s | might even be offered straight because |
| 773s | people want to work with us on a |
| 775s | particular project particular role they |
| 777s | have you in mind yeah yeah but on the |
| 778s | whole you know we're all audition man |
| 780s | you know it's good I it's great because |
| 781s | we we get a lot of opportunities which |
| 783s | is good yeah I think it's like if you |
| 785s | find out your stories so like very |
| 786s | famous people like they still have to |
| 788s | take calls from people they find |
| 789s | annoying and things like that there's no |
| 790s | level of like actually getting past all |
| 792s | that stuff unless you're very tippy top |
| 793s | right it's always it's always really |
| 794s | refreshing when you see an actor on a |
| 795s | red carpet and they go why' you take the |
| 797s | role and they go the |
| 801s | money what Drew you to the role the |
| 803s | amount of money you were going to give |
| 804s | me is what drew me to the role because |
| 806s | ultimately that's what it is you know |
| 807s | it's it's a it's a profession but it's |
| 809s | one that we're very very lucky to be |
| 811s | very passionate about and actually it's |
| 813s | it's very very very cool it's it's a |
| 816s | very cool job but it is a job and um I |
| 819s | think that people seem to think that we |
| 821s | have this luxury of just being like I'm |
| 823s | going to waltz into this role and do |
| 824s | that it really isn't sometimes it is |
| 826s | just blind luck that you get something I |
| 829s | mean this I mean my |
| 832s | my me being a part of Warframe is so |
| 835s | lucky in the same way that like me being |
| 837s | a part of Final Fantasy is so lucky |
| 838s | everything is right place right time |
| 840s | obviously the preparation is incredibly |
| 842s | important and being right for the part |
| 844s | but like the chance meeting of Reb the |
| 846s | chance discussions that we had they like |
| 848s | talking about the things that we liked |
| 850s | and then turning that into the |
| 851s | opportunity to audition for the part |
| 853s | that was so many different steps that |
| 855s | could have just gone either way I could |
| 856s | have been busy I could have just not |
| 858s | spoken to Reb I could have we could have |
| 860s | never even met and then I wouldn't be |
| 862s | here in this incredible suit talking to |
| 865s | you now and and it's and it's being |
| 868s | aware of those opportunities those kind |
| 870s | of um fluctuation points where you just |
| 873s | go okay this is where my life can change |
| 874s | and it's being able to recognize those |
| 876s | things and seize them when they're there |
| 878s | the crazy thing is like everything you |
| 880s | said absolutely but I've now climatized |
| 882s | to the suit and you were completely |
| 886s | serious have been going forward I can |
| 889s | see the screen I can see on the screen |
| 890s | my glasses are way too small for my face |
| 893s | actually kind of like it's uncanny value |
| 895s | weird that wide bent face yeah that's a |
| 897s | problem uh when uh |
| 901s | pancake of a |
| 903s | man um like you said like it's a job |
| 905s | stuff it's like all of it's a job right |
| 907s | because it's like even when you're not |
| 909s | like working as a as a voice actor on a |
| 911s | specific role like you like you've been |
| 914s | you're still out there like uh a |
| 915s | promoting yourself in other way I mean |
| 916s | promoting yourself like building a brand |
| 918s | doing stuff online that you enjoy but |
| 920s | that seems to feed into it right it's |
| 921s | all part of the job in a lot of ways |
| 923s | right I mean it's it's how long you got |
| 926s | when you're talking about like the the |
| 928s | idea of |
| 930s | creating yourself because people get |
| 932s | obsessed with characters people come to |
| 934s | us because they like our characters but |
| 936s | in this industry that's what they like |
| 938s | and it's about figuring out ways in |
| 940s | which you can utilize the platform that |
| 942s | you have to humanize yourself and make |
| 944s | people invested in you as a person and |
| 946s | that is something that I have tried |
| 947s | really hard to do because actually I'm |
| 950s | going like I am not this particular |
| 952s | character I am this person who I would |
| 954s | like you to invest in so that if there |
| 956s | are other games you can come to that and |
| 958s | it's a very difficult thing to do |
| 960s | because people want to quite rightly |
| 962s | associate you solely with a particular |
| 964s | character I'm not saying I would ever |
| 966s | shun the amazing roles that I am I have |
| 969s | been associated with that's really |
| 971s | [ __ ] cool but also knowing that I |
| 974s | want to not build the brand but let |
| 976s | people know who I am because it's it's |

| 1121s | school teaching kids that things can |
| 1125s | happen how about you who would like an |
| 1127s | obscure one that you did a long time ago |
| 1129s | or even recently yeah no like one of the |
| 1131s | first ones I ever did I tried to make um |
| 1133s | I think I convinced them to do it it was |
| 1135s | like Lego Minifigures game which doesn't |
| 1136s | exist anymore they just I'm Prett sure |
| 1138s | they can pretty evaporated the end I |
| 1140s | play a brm caveman from bur in England |
| 1144s | okay so yeah very specific so the |
| 1146s | caveman was just happened to be from |
| 1148s | Birmingham yeah okay cuz it was all I |
| 1149s | can think of in the SP of the moment |
| 1151s | yeah fair enough no it's |
| 1152s | perfect it may have killed the game |
| 1155s | single-handedly probably but let's not |
| 1157s | point fingers here yeah all right how's |
| 1159s | the pizza it's pretty good I'll find out |
| 1163s | I'm |
| 1165s | hiding I do have it though it looks |
| 1167s | amazing yeah um okay so uh Warframe 99 |
| 1172s | uh you okay so you play uh Angry Alpha |
| 1175s | you play mean girl Ben you play I play a |
| 1178s | nice just a nice boy uh he's just a nice |
| 1181s | guy nice guy just a nice boy Everyone |
| 1184s | likes him has a katana AK47 who ni |
| 1187s | himself he's called um he's called nice |
| 1190s | boy he's a little sad sometimes he's |
| 1191s | sometimes sad but mostly nice um no I |
| 1193s | play Arthur who is the head of the hex |
| 1195s | group and he uh he's an ex-military man |
| 1198s | um hard as Nails um hard to crack but |
| 1201s | when you do always that center soft |
| 1205s | inside so yeah it's fun it's a cool guy |
| 1209s | how about you uh I play I play Victor |
| 1211s | who is not very nice inside um he's very |
| 1215s | cold clinical um we I don't know if I |
| 1218s | can talk about this actually man like |
| 1220s | Reb and I came on upon a thing as we |
| 1222s | were doing a lot of the evil monologuing |
| 1225s | um that we worked something out about |
| 1226s | him I'm not entirely sure where's re cuz |
| 1228s | I need a thumbs up with |
| 1229s | C well whatever there's something |
| 1232s | about something about the character um |
| 1234s | which is the idea was that we thought he |
| 1236s | might be a really [ __ ] poet oh I love |
| 1239s | that so there's [ __ ] poetry in it that's |
| 1241s | fantastic did you did she like write it |
| 1243s | for you guys work together on it kind of |
| 1245s | a bit of no mainly written but it was |
| 1247s | kind of we discovered it together did |
| 1249s | you write some poetry and then they go |
| 1251s | this is maybe |
| 1253s | sh I do have an awful lot of [ __ ] |
| 1258s | poetry I just didn't bring it in yeah so |
| 1260s | but he's an interesting character he's |
| 1262s | very like he's very um he's one of those |
| 1264s | people that is so is so rigid and so |
| 1267s | tense and so absolutely must be this way |
| 1270s | that he's very brittle as well so it's |
| 1271s | kind of a fun character play that sounds |
| 1273s | like the fun part of the job to me been |
| 1274s | like riffing on ideas and coming up with |
| 1276s | somebody like let's try that and no now |
| 1278s | it's in the game is does that happen |
| 1280s | frequently in terms of what like just |
| 1282s | like being able like on the spot say hey |
| 1284s | we discovered this about the character |
| 1285s | now we're going to depends on the |
| 1286s | situation I think I mean obviously uh |
| 1289s | depends on the writing as well and the |
| 1290s | relationship with the director and etc |
| 1292s | etc sometimes yes sometimes it's not |
| 1295s | always that malleable depending on what |
| 1297s | the what you need to be doing do you |
| 1299s | know what I mean so like some jobs yes |
| 1301s | you have a lot of freedom to explore and |
| 1302s | they want you to discover other times |
| 1304s | it's so critical that you can't do a |
| 1306s | huge amount of exploration depending |
| 1308s | really on what you're doing so it's a |
| 1309s | real mixed bag depending on who on what |
| 1311s | you're doing and who you're working with |
| 1312s | I would say yeah there is usually a bit |
| 1314s | of room for sure how about your |
| 1316s | character uh eleno is |
| 1319s | Arthur's sister we are siblings you are |
| 1322s | unprepared for this year level of |
| 1323s | sibling [ __ ] that we'll be in this |
| 1325s | game excellent um they've got a really |
| 1328s | kind of close but slightly combative in |
| 1331s | that kind of sibling poking each other |
| 1333s | way but but she looks after him and |
| 1335s | tries to keep him on the straight and |
| 1337s | narrow um she she might be ever so |
| 1340s | slightly more infected than other people |
| 1342s | in the group um and she has a big |
| 1345s | prehensile tongue uh that sometimes gets |
| 1349s | her into trouble she can't talk so she |
| 1351s | projects her we'll see in the fan art |
| 1353s | for |
| 1354s | sure |
| 1356s | yeah that's art um but yeah she's scop |
| 1360s | so she can get into people's minds she |
| 1362s | can move things around that way and uh |
| 1365s | hear people's thoughts which some people |
| 1367s | very much enjoy in this group and some |
| 1369s | people don't |
| 1373s | yes this guy flirty as hell mhm this one |
| 1377s | hates it |
| 1379s | she's just waiting for me to |
| 1381s | turn Shier yeah how about you yeah very |
| 1385s | villainous uh I love doing all that kind |
| 1387s | of stuff but there's more layers to her |
| 1389s | um which is nice it's always nice to |
| 1391s | have a a villain that has layers to them |
| 1393s | but doing the the bombastic villain |
| 1395s | stuff is so awesome it's so fun I'm a |
| 1398s | huge fan of you know Disney villains and |
| 1399s | I've Loved all that stuff my whole life |
| 1401s | so any opportunity to play a character |
| 1403s | like this is absolutely amazing and I |
| 1404s | hope that people like her I mean she has |
| 1406s | a claw for her hand for goodness sake |
| 1409s | just red she's awesome and she smokes |
| 1411s | out of her gas mask like can't get any |
| 1413s | cooler than that I mean they're all |
| 1415s | cool yeah it's it's it's just been so |
| 1418s | amazingly fun um but yeah there is some |
| 1420s | depth here as well which has been very |
| 1421s | fun to explore yeah uh amir's a nerd I |
| 1425s | didn't have to ask too |
| 1428s | hardd World of Warcraft yeah I mean that |
| 1432s | universe's version basically I |
| 1434s | mean he's a sweetheart he's not really |
| 1437s | cut out for the apocalypse that he's |
| 1439s | going through he's not quite like the |
| 1442s | rest of them he's not built for the end |
| 1444s | game he's built different but your |
| 1447s | parentheses built different um and he's |
| 1451s | you know he's he's silly and he uses |
| 1453s | that kind of to deflect and but there is |
| 1455s | a vulnerability there um and he lets it |
| 1457s | through when he starts to become |
| 1459s | comfortable with you know whoever he may |
| 1461s | be and uh he's a very interesting |
| 1464s | character because there's something so |
| 1469s | uh exciting about like when the goober |
| 1472s | like gets serious or when the goober |
| 1474s | kind of like breaks that facade and |
| 1477s | there's a little bit of those real |
| 1478s | feelings that that shine through and I |
| 1480s | think that's what makes Amir such a fun |
| 1483s | character is that he's he seems on the |
| 1485s | surface like a caricature right like a |
| 1487s | golden retriever but he's not quite that |
| 1490s | that's sort of just the face that's a |
| 1492s | protective layer yeah yeah it's it's |
| 1494s | it's to to protect him from that and you |
| 1497s | can even hear even in the the pre he he |
| 1499s | lets that go when he thinks that nobody |
| 1501s | is is watching and and and asks for the |
| 1504s | for the hug and and it's it's he's a |
| 1506s | very sweet character and he's a big old |
| 1509s | nerd and that's fun Alpha amir's growing |
| 1513s | on me right now yeah and you know I have |
| 1516s | a lot of lines with Amir and you know |
| 1519s | you have given me Insight on his |
| 1521s | character thank you not just all |
| 1523s | arguments about pizza no no um so OE um |
| 1528s | is uh |
| 1529s | Arthur's right-hand woman uh sidekick |
| 1533s | yes um and she's the type of a character |
| 1536s | who is happy she is like bubbly she is |
| 1539s | jumping on her feet and loves music |
| 1542s | loves 90 music yes um love singing |
| 1545s | online songs and I actually do listen to |
| 1548s | the online music |
| 1550s | sound I was so happy to get that it is |
| 1554s | so good um and just this really eternal |
| 1558s | Optimist but it doesn't always work well |
| 1561s | for her because you know those gas mask |
| 1563s | signs where it says on the airplane says |
| 1565s | you know make sure you put on your gas |
| 1567s | mask gas mask no your oxygen |
| 1573s | mask you put it on your mask before you |
| 1576s | put it on somebody else but she would do |
| 1578s | the opposite she would actually put this |
| 1580s | on somebody else she would feed the |
| 1582s | prisoners before eating herself so that |
| 1586s | seems to be some of the reasons why they |
| 1588s | broke up yeah we used to be together |
| 1591s | [Applause] |
| 1593s | oh I'm sure we won't find anything else |
| 1595s | about that and that's the end of the |
| 1597s | story yeah we mention briefly and then |
| 1599s | just move yeah and then we just move on |
| 1601s | no it's yeah it's it's it's a very it's |
| 1602s | a very cool relationship and actually |
| 1603s | Alfa and I have been uh together since |
| 1605s | the beginning of this you know yours |
| 1607s | yours was the first voice that I heard |
| 1609s | when we did the the demo that's in |
| 1611s | Whispers of the wall a couple years yeah |
| 1614s | it's been really really cool and it's |
| 1615s | just been amazing to see how this team |
| 1617s | of Misfits has kind of been buil over |
| 1619s | that time and we've known about these |
| 1621s | characters and it's amazing just to hear |
| 1622s | them one by one come in and go God |
| 1624s | that's exactly how I imagine they'd |
| 1625s | sound and I remember the thrill of |
| 1627s | seeing the tenoc con demo and being like |
| 1629s | yeah there's that moment where they all |
| 1630s | line up um and they're ready to go and |
| 1632s | you know it's like we're going on the |
| 1633s | bikes and there's that you know they go |
| 1635s | down um go down the road and then you've |
| 1637s | got like air running beside it's just |
| 1639s | it's just cool and it's just cool |
| 1641s | because these are these are warframes |
| 1642s | everyone knows they they've been there |
| 1644s | for for 12 years now that oh oh well |
| 1649s | down okay yeah |
| 1651s | oh not the N64 12 years |
| 1656s | now he wants you to hold it down sorry |
| 1659s | so sorry um they've been together for um |
| 1662s | 12 years now and um 12 years now um 12 |
| 1667s | we got that 12 years um and it's and |
| 1671s | it's just cool that we put we've put |
| 1673s | like a like faces to these characters |
| 1674s | that people know and love and it's it's |
| 1676s | a huge responsibility for us to do it |
| 1678s | it's quite nerous racking that people |
| 1679s | are letting us do it but hopefully we |
| 1682s | can bring some life to these these |
| 1685s | warframes that people know and love and |
| 1686s | have known them for 12 years |
| 1689s | now um well okay speaking of 12 years |
| 1692s | now um when you uh are all doing these |
| 1695s | roles video games take a long time uh |
| 1697s | you guys probably work on these things |
| 1699s | and then do you just not hear anything |
| 1701s | about it for years you you can book |
| 1703s | something and it could be like 2 years |
| 1705s | before sometimes we don't even know what |
| 1706s | it is until it comes out so it's yeah |
| 1708s | can what's that like it's it's it's not |
| 1711s | fun when it comes out it's cool if it |
| 1713s | even gets made sometimes it doesn't even |
| 1716s | get made which is which sucks but you |
| 1718s | know when yeah it happens quite more |
| 1719s | often than people think actually like |
| 1721s | that's the most frustrating part is that |
| 1722s | you know we kind of like want to talk |
| 1723s | about what we've done so bad and then it |
| 1724s | doesn't come out and then it's like I'm |
| 1726s | working I swear so yeah it all just |
| 1727s | turns into like a whole thing but yeah |
| 1729s | no it's a very interesting industry but |
| 1732s | it's amazing and that's why we love it |
| 1735s | it would be different for film and |
| 1736s | television where like maybe it's a |
| 1737s | little bit shorter |
| 1739s | yeah there's so much more Tech that goes |
| 1742s | into a video game because especially |
| 1743s | when you get branching narratives |
| 1745s | different hot paths like there's a lot |
| 1747s | of tech that goes into that and things |
| 1749s | change as well this is a thing like I've |
| 1751s | done stuff where they come back and |
| 1752s | they're like oh we've Rewritten it all |
| 1754s | and it's like oh okay yeah it's very |
| 1756s | very I mean the end of the story's got |
| 1758s | to serve the game right so they a lot of |
| 1760s | times have to end up changing things U |
| 1762s | you know you mentioned that uh you and |
| 1764s | rev came up with that idea is that |
| 1765s | common word that cuz she's game director |
| 1767s | now is that who's you usually with you |
| 1769s | all when you are recording lines for a |
| 1770s | video game the director of the game or |
| 1772s | is there like a step down where it's |
| 1774s | like oh no it's the the dialect director |
| 1776s | I don't know like what's it what's it |
| 1777s | like normally is it normally someone |
| 1778s | like Reb from the game often like in on |
| 1781s | the volume or in the booth you're going |
| 1783s | to have a performance director um |
| 1785s | sometimes you might have the game |
| 1786s | director or narrative lead narrative |
| 1788s | director alongside you may have them on |
| 1790s | call they may just be listening in |
| 1791s | silently just offering in every now and |
| 1793s | again it really depends depends on the |
| 1794s | team depends on how people historically |
| 1796s | want to create that makeup and also |
| 1798s | what's best for the actual session often |
| 1800s | these days which is great you have |
| 1802s | people that are dedicated performance |
| 1803s | directors right um because obviously |
| 1805s | there's a certain language working with |
| 1807s | an actor how to get the best of them how |
| 1809s | to transmit ideas and how to translate |
| 1812s | ideas uh to them and back from them etc |
| 1814s | etc so um I got to work with Reb I got |
| 1816s | to work with a guy called cam last time |
| 1818s | on with Fibonacci he was great um but |
| 1820s | Reb and I worked on on this one together |
| 1822s | I think most of you guys worked together |
| 1824s | with yeah it was really fun and |
| 1826s | obviously Reb knows the game so timately |
| 1829s | um and is you know in such a key |
| 1831s | position of the game that it was really |
| 1833s | nice to be able to have somebody |
| 1835s | instantly tapped into it like that it |
| 1837s | was really nice as well to have writers |
| 1839s | in the sessions I don't know because |
| 1841s | that way you have so much more freedom |
| 1843s | to go you know what that line is not |
| 1845s | quite flowing can I rephrase it or can I |
| 1847s | can I just try swearing at him like this |
| 1850s | and see how it goes like we got to mess |
| 1852s | around with things and really find the |
| 1855s | heart I had a really end up |
| 1860s | rewriting too especially for me as well |
| 1862s | cuz Quincy's from London so and he |
| 1865s | speaks in Em which is Multicultural |
| 1868s | English um so he has he uses slang and |
| 1872s | pwa Jamaican pwa sure as well um so it's |
| 1876s | a team effort but sometimes you know |
| 1878s | your experience can only inform what you |
| 1880s | say um so yeah so grateful that there |
| 1884s | was that freedom to kind of put your |
| 1886s | spin on it and make it really specific |
| 1889s | to your experience it makes them so much |
| 1891s | more unique right yeah I love getting to |
| 1894s | do that as well with Ley also uh |
| 1896s | throwing in some some Spanish slang that |
| 1899s | only I grew up with in South Texas and |
| 1901s | stuff like that that that people from |
| 1903s | there are going to go that I know |
| 1905s | exactly where that comes from and uh |
| 1906s | they made me happy too and I got to kind |
| 1908s | of evolve Ley as well from the mean girl |
| 1911s | into someone who I think like she's the |
| 1913s | medic uh she's someone who despite |
| 1915s | having claw like actually genuinely |
| 1917s | cares and I got to kind of bring that |
| 1919s | forward um in in my recording for her as |
| 1922s | well show her softer side and and |
| 1925s | actually was kind of fun tackling going |
| 1927s | from the mean girl to a romanceable |
| 1930s | character to someone who lets their |
| 1932s | guard down um and that was a lot of fun |
| 1935s | yeah I'm I'm sure it's a a situation |
| 1937s | where uh when you do get to collaborate |
| 1939s | like that it's fantastic but if it's |
| 1940s | like no you're going to do what the |
| 1941s | lines that's that's written like you're |
| 1942s | there to serve them right so like you're |
| 1944s | going to do the job but you know it is |
| 1946s | fun to stretch your legs creatively I'm |
| 1947s | sure yeah MH you end up with a better |
| 1949s | end product yeah because then you're all |
| 1952s | playing together it's not just a writer |
| 1954s | doing that thing and giving you the |
| 1956s | script and you do that and then go away |
| 1958s | it's everybody gets to make something |
| 1959s | that's greater than the sum of its parts |
| 1961s | right and it's like I mean you are |
| 1963s | putting your voice in the character it |
| 1964s | helps if you get to put something more |
| 1965s | in there right people are trying to buy |
| 1967s | into the performance I'm sure yeah yeah |
| 1969s | sure yeah cuz video games aren't very |
| 1970s | malleable as people think for a lot of |
| 1972s | them so being able to actually have some |
| 1974s | freedom is is pretty amazing yeah right |
| 1977s | that goes back to the tech being taking |
| 1978s | so long being so expensive so rigid like |
| 1981s | sometimes it's as lered as like oh we |
| 1983s | need we need this emotion with this |
| 1986s | intonation and it needs to be 4 seconds |
| 1989s | exactly |
| 1994s | exactly yeah I'll tone that I'll do all |
| 1997s | of those things let do a back flip |
| 1999s | sounds like trying to get a golf swing |
| 2001s | exactly like there's 50 things happening |
| 2002s | you got to do it perfect every time and |
| 2004s | it needs to be this exact length nail |
| 2006s | the timing yeah um how like you |
| 2008s | mentioned the volume that's performance |
| 2010s | capture right that's like uh that's not |
| 2012s | what happened here right this was Booth |
| 2014s | this is voice work Voice work okay yeah |
| 2016s | um what is the performance capture like |
| 2018s | these days is that is that like a |
| 2019s | constantly changing medium or is it film |
| 2023s | it okay every technolog is different |
| 2026s | like everyone's got different stuff so I |
| 2028s | will say it's getting smaller and less |
| 2029s | clunky than it used to be the things |
| 2031s | you're wearing the moap yeah the map |
| 2033s | suits you have your helmet I think |
| 2035s | you've seen things with the big arm that |
| 2037s | comes forward and got the facial faal |
| 2039s | facial c yeah a lot of that now can |
| 2042s | either be eliminated or moved aside and |
| 2044s | then you've got smaller lav mics so |
| 2046s | everything is just getting smaller and |
| 2048s | less intrusive which is pretty awesome |
| 2051s | because then you can do a lot more |
| 2052s | things with groups at the same time as |
| 2054s | well for Moab yeah it's great I think I |
| 2056s | saw the video of that from like Resident |
| 2057s | Evil uh where they all the the cast |
| 2059s | together working around each other and |
| 2061s | that was really amazing to see it's like |
| 2062s | is that how it is for everything doesn't |
| 2063s | seem like it but yeah um but so |
| 2067s | performance capture uh it it is |
| 2070s | capturing like all the little details |
| 2071s | and they just filter that into the |
| 2072s | character is that how that works kind of |
| 2075s | yeah it's of like voice Booth voice film |
| 2078s | face and Stage body so that you can |
| 2081s | communicate effectively what you're |
| 2083s | going through I guess at a range of |
| 2085s | different distances and close-ups and |
| 2087s | stuff but it's it's always really |
| 2090s | interesting to see which actors can do |
| 2092s | that if they come from a like a film |
| 2095s | background you've taken a bunch of their |
| 2096s | toys away like they haven't their own |
| 2098s | face or a costume on and they're in a |
| 2100s | very unflattering most of the time skin |
| 2103s | tight suit like the room tell who's |
| 2106s | going to freeze up and who's going to |
| 2108s | feel incredibly free like coming from a |
| 2110s | mainly voice background from my side of |
| 2113s | things like it's it's incredibly freeing |
| 2115s | to get your body bag yeah how is it like |
| 2117s | how do you get like uh used to it |
| 2118s | accustomed to it how you like sort of |
| 2119s | settle down and just start going I |
| 2121s | didn't need to yeah I was just like oh |
| 2123s | my God I'm about arm this is great |
| 2125s | that's fantastic um all right so game |

| 2334s | happened what kind of music were they |
| 2336s | playing just a |
| 2339s | soundtra Warframe 1999 Matt chmer and |
| 2343s | the Warframe band were playing five |
| 2344s | songs from the soundtrack um and the |
| 2346s | crazy thing about Matt who's uh the |
| 2348s | composer he obviously composed all of |
| 2351s | the music which is all the grunge stuff |
| 2353s | and he also compose all the online boy |
| 2355s | band stuff it's insane the range of that |
