Giving Voice to Video Games

The New York Times (registration required) has an article up on the process and attention that Voicing Video Games is now getting. From the Article: "My role, as a psychotic talk-show caller, seemed straightforward. But struggling through a dozen takes to perfect that one line one day in early August impressed upon me the high expectations levied on today's video game voice actors."

Onimusha 3 was almost ruined

By French and Japanese characters speaking American English with awful American accents. I cringed at every cut scene. Would have been so difficult to get some French actors to do the dubbing but in English - so the characters would have at least had French accents?

Hearing some guy dubbing the Jean Reno character was probably the worst of all. I would have preffered French with subtitles - the scenes with Reno speaking French were a pleasure.
