Writing about the biz, done my way

I forgot to mention – I wrote an article on Slate about my unique voice acting path, and how I found the spark of the success I’ve been looking for. I won’t spoil too much of it here, because I want you to actually read it, but it was fun to write, and I got to learn a little bit more about the developers I’ve been working for. That’s the best part about doing the independent games scene – it’s all real people – no huge marketing team, no focus groups : just people who want to make some awesome things. Anyway, read on!

First Video Game Appearance

I have waited long for this, and have done many projects since: my first released appearance in a commercial video game! Quest for Infamy is a Kickstarter project I got involved with a few months back. After hearing one of my demos, they cast me as Jerrod Smyrna, the apothecary in the medieval town in which Quest for Infamy takes place. I did several versions of the character, and they ended up picking the one I did mostly as a joke.

A demo of Quest for Infamy is available now – so go hear my silly voice!
