Video Game Voiceover elevates the gaming experience.
The Impact of voice acting on video game popularityย is clear from the autograph seekers at gaming conventions. Players often feel more immersed in a gameโs world and story through the magic of video game voiceover.
I think itโs important to honor all the ways good voice acting can enhance the gaming experience. Whenever Iโm gaming Iโm sure to keep my ear out for all the ways voiceover makes games better. From memorable one-liners to nuanced reactions, to dramatic cut scenes or epic narration, there are so many ways that voice actors are an important player on the game development team, even as NPCs, and one of the main ways gamers personally connect with games.
Through the diverse characters Iโve had the chance to play, Iโve loved seeing the gaming landscape of various genres of games evolve into a more inclusive environment. As an African American Voice Actress, I deeply understand the significance of representation, not just for visibility and expanded opportunities for voiceover artists but also for enriching stories with authentic voices and experiences. The gaming community thrives when players encounter diverse narratives that resonate with their own lives. I know I love seeing and hearing Black Female Video Game Characters!
Looking to add more cool female video game characters?
Since close to 50% of gamers are women, are you searching for the right female voice to level up your gameโs diverse cast?
There is also a shared common ground that actors like myself with chameleon qualities can bring in unexpected ways when given the opportunity.
Nuanced performances can turn a pivotal scene into an unforgettable moment, or a definitive character move into an iconic one, imprinting the story in the playerโs memory long after the game is over. That can also be a deciding factor in game replayability and player loyalty to a favorite game franchise.
The gaming community is diverse in age and culture, and constantly growing with each generation of new gamers!
I hope through my work I can inspire creators to mirror that diversity when casting.
I find it amazing that I can work with so many game creators all over the world!
Through voiceover, Iโve developed a deeper respect for the wide world of video games.
Gone are the days of just gaming on consoles or computers. Gaming on smartphones and tablets makes daily gameplay so seamless.
As a voice actor, I get to call hours of gameplay my job research.ย #ilovemyjob
I developed a true appreciation forย Hidden Objectย Games.
The suspenseโฆ The problem-solvingโฆ The memorable charactersโฆ I love it all!
With action-basedย games (Role-Playing โย RPG, MMORPGย FPS, MOBA) itโs fun to battle as the hero or the villain, and I have a warm place in my heart for a good villain! Whether yelling battle cries or softly casting spells, Iโm all in for the excitement and the challenge of action-packed quests, fierce battles, and gloating when ultimately defeating all of my enemies.
Then thereโs the comforting feeling of playingย Cozy Games. They offer a much-needed break from fast-paced and stressful days, transporting me to often cute and charmingly scenic worlds. Playing and voicing characters, even those who sometimes mainly express themselves without actual words, give me a cute meets chill feeling.
I also love that my voice is much more athletic than I am in real life, and Iโve had fun adding my voice to a fewย sports-themed games. Through the power of voice acting I can be the greatest trick shot point guard leading my team to an easy victory! Victory dance included!
I loveย Educational Gamesย that make learning engaging and can even make homework fun.
I loveย Match 3 gamesย and the excitement ofย Slot Gamesย and vocally cheering players on.
And of course, the ultimate thrill is getting a chance to play a superheroย โ or rather, she-ro!
But even NPCs have recently been getting the love they deserve, so why not use real actors to voice them?
Thereโs no such thing as a character too small in the gaming world!
I know that AI offers convenience for some creators, but it often lacks the nuanced and genuine feel that only a human performance can provide. Monotonous and Robotic AI performances may be good placeholders but can be very offputting in the final project. Why settle for good enough when you can create something unique and memorable?
Let me add my acting ability, and bring my imagination, uniqueness, and versatility, to your gaming project! Whether casting heroic brave women or young boy characters or if you are looking to hire an African American Female Voice Actor for authentic representation, reach out to request an audition to see if I may be the addition to your cast that you were looking for.
