I’ve been absolutely busting to talk about this. Now I can! I was lucky enough to be Lead Performance Director on this mini tiny game that no one’s heard of. So proud of our eikonic cast and team. What a ride!!!
I was Lead Performance Director on

who are world leaders in this field.
Koji Fox mentions for FF16 they had the English voice actors and actresses come into the studio to record lines together, which is usually a method that only Japanese recording studios do for anime or video games and not the other way around.
This is probably why the voice
Any writers out there want to share with me any plays they have set in one space with a small cast? Actively looking, and would love to engage with new writers.
Hello! So are there any excellent female directors out there who are interested in video games, VR, tech and immersive cross over projects? I’ve a few things coming up and I would love to expand the pool of female directors working on this area, as we are light on the ground!
So strange seeing this again. I directed these auditions. Feels like an age ago. So proud to have worked with these brilliant actors. I remember the conversation when we looked at each other and said ‘shall we get Ben to read for… Clint?’
We knew Ben Starr had initially auditioned for a smaller role in
#FINALFANTASYXVI
and, at yesterday's panel, we got to watch that audition along with Stewart Clarke and Jonathan Case's first auditions.
Quite a different game it would be. Also the code names.😅

So so sad to hear this. I last saw Jim on Valentine’s Day, which is fitting as absolutely everyone loved him. A lovely gentle man, funny, witty, kind, so talented and just the most charismatic man you could ever meet. Thinking of his family and grateful I got to work with him.
We are deeply saddened to hear about the passing of our beloved friend and collaborator James McCaffrey, the iconic voice of Max Payne and Alex Casey. His remarkable talent not only gave life to our characters but also left an enduring impact on our community. Our hearts go out

Sick at tweets saying women should be chaperoned(?!)/ not go out after dark. It’s dark at 4pm in UK in Jan. Should we also not have jobs? Should we all walk in convoy to ward off danger?!! Or should we accept that male violence against women is endemic & needs to be tackled ASAP?

Love this. We worked very hard on finding Jesse’s tone in the opening lines: the internal voice, the dispassion yet familiarity, the emotional trauma tucked away for later (for ever?!).

Really sickened at seeing jokes about the submarine. They are people. I’m not buying laugh emojis about billionaires or hubris. They’re people, and if they’re still alive they’re stuck in a horrendous nightmare while their families are in a nightmare on shore. Awful all round.
