What's it like to voice a character that many players may never encounter? A voice actor for Dragon Age: The Veilguard shares his fascinating perspective on the shared-character recording process, discussing collaborative ownership and the strange reality of his role in the anticipated RPG.
Transcript
00:00The recording process for Dragon Age was actually quite a condensed one for me personally and for
00:06Bryony who was the femme British. It's a really weird and interesting way to approach a character
00:12when you are sharing it with other people. You have to provide what you think is your own version
00:19of the character, your own interpretation of the character and you have to just focus on what
00:24you're doing while also being aware that the character isn't yours. It's a shared thing and
00:30that's weird because like when a game comes out you're so used to being like yeah I play this
00:34character this is me and you know I kind of you kind of have a sense of ownership along with
00:38the
00:39writers and the editor you know collaboratively you have a sense of ownership but it's just even
00:43weirder when someone could go and play that game and never experience my voice and it's so bizarre
00:50because I make people who play like Veilgard and they're just like yeah I didn't play with your
00:54voice and I'm like yeah fair cool like I don't know I don't know what you want me to say
01:01to that
01:02yeah so many people will have played that game without my voice and that's such a weird feeling
01:08when I go but I lived the whole storyline I did the whole storyline and yeah it's weird but cool
