What is it like to voice a video game character versus acting on stage or on film?
I guess the major difference is that when you voice a video game, you are performing on your own. I generally consider ‘acting’ more as ‘re’acting. You don’t talk to yourself, unless you have a monologue in a play, so I believe the key on stage or film is to put your attention on the other actor, not on yourself, you have to be generous and respond to the emotion that the other actor gives you, there something organic about it. When you are voicing a game, you have to create something similar to be real, like really imagine you are talking to someone, responding to a situation or emotion. And that’s when the director of the session is really important, as they put the sentence in context emotionally speaking!
Have you voiced any other video game characters?
