OK, let’s turn this around: voice actors, what’s a better question you’d like to be asked? Mine is: how do you reconcile needing to make specific acting choices in an interactive story?
Sally Beaumont |BAFTA Breakthrough|Voice Actor & Writer@sallybeaumont.bsky.social · 8h agoI’m not really sure how many more times I can answer questions about what voice acting brings to games. The first VA for games was 1980. No other actors are asked to justify themselves like this.
Little personal project I've been working on! Not many people may know this by but I'm a big horror fan. I'd love to work on a horror game or project someday 👻 Currently looking for work so if you have an opportunity would love to chat 💬 #lookingforwork #characterdesign #cthulhu #gamedev #art
Writers who were at Develop: Over on the performance track I was part of a cross-discipline panel about writing for voice acting. If you missed it because you were on the Writer track, it’s now available to rewatch, and definitely worth your time!

There is a difference between a disabled person standing up and saying “I want to show you the adaptations I have made and encourage others to try to find what works for them” and nondisabled people putting a “good disabled person” (one who asks for nothing and teaches them lessons) on a pedestal.

There's a bit in Earth Must Die where you have to convince a ship full of humans to vote to run the ship they're travelling on into the sun. You do it through xenophobia, folksy posturing and a catchy slogan and I feel like that might be the best political satire I've seen in ages
We've been a bit quiet lately, but a lot of work has been going on behind-the-scenes and now we have quite a few updates/announcements to give! First of all: Uncle Lee's Cookbook is getting a German translation, done by @marcelweyers.bsky.social!
Second announcement: we're making mobile ports of Uncle Lee's Cookbook! The engine has already been ported to both Android and iOS, we just need to do some work on the touch controls.
Third announcement: we're also making a #NintendoSwitch port of Uncle Lee's Cookbook! The engine is already ported and we already had full controller support, so we just need to do some testing and go through certification. No pictures this time, because of those pesky NDAs.
Harold Halibut's stop-motion look isn't stop-motion at all. @slowbros.bsky.social spent two years perfecting a process of scanning handmade clay sculptures and applying them to 3D models. Get more in Indie Game Works: a-fwd.com/asin-uk=0500... #HaroldHalibut #IndieGame
Sooo...who around here does cartoon/hand-drawn character art for video games?

When I meet someone in the industry they often haven’t played any of my games. Then a strange curse befalls them, and I get messages: Wait, is that you in [game]? Playing [game] and…you are in that as well? Decided to play [game] and um there you are again? I’m the Baader Meinhoff Effect of voices

Half the planet is having a massive fight about how to correctly interpret an Ancient Greek poem but go ahead, close some more humanities departments.
Every so often I teach someone how to spin yarn on a spindle. And I always tell them that the first yarn you make will not be good yarn, and it's not meant to be, because right now you are not making wool into yarn, you're making yourself into a spinner.
Explaining to a normal person that I’m so online that I can only communicate in memes, I suddenly have an understanding of every drama and literature teacher trying to tell teenagers that the rant by the drunk guy in Macbeth would have been hilarious. No really.
Who made me grin enormously? It's @sallybeaumont.bsky.social 😁 [She's a fantastic voice actor & writer, too] @developconference.com
My brain, every time I sight-read a script:
Matt | Try DARK ROOMS!@pmrd.net · last wk.This is really fun to read lol
I say this as the highest compliment, but I just got a bit jealous of @edwyntiong.com ’s voice acting chemistry with Sally in The Mermaid Mask. Noz! How could you?!
