Wowzers! Just out of the cinema after watching the new Sonic film with the kids! We were in seats that threw us around as Sonic zipped across the screen—it was brilliant fun (if slightly nauseating! 🤣).
While I was being tossed about, I was listening to the voices. I used to love playing Sonic, and guess what? I’m downloading it tonight!
Lately, I’ve had some fantastic gaming character auditions—heroes, villains, witches, warriors! I *love* voicing huge characters. There’s something magical about stepping into someone else’s skin behind the mic. But here’s the thing: the mic never lies. If you hesitate on “who” you are, the listener knows instantly.
So, here are a few quick-fire tips to help with your next game or animation audition:
🎙️ Range is key– Experiment with pitch, tone, and accents. Push your voice further than you think!
🎭 Build unique characters– Give them quirks, backstories, and distinctive rhythms.
🔥 Bring the energy– Games demand high-intensity performances. Train for stamina!
🎬 Act, don’t just voice– Physicality and emotional depth make characters believable.
🎮 Play games! – Study different styles, listen to performances, and get inspired.
Now, get back in the booth and practice! What’s your favourite game character voice to perform?
