A huge thanks to the team at The Masques for our recent banner. The Masques is a casting agency based in Edinburgh, which works with a wide range of actors (proper actors from film and TV). They also do a lot of corporate work, providing talented people who can do voices and act in other ways. Not to mention professional motion capture actors.
The Masques is also one of the few agencies across the UK which offers an understanding and expertise in the games world. So if you’re interested in getting some decent voices in your game(s), you should speak to them.
Many development studios are hesitant about approaching a professional agency outside the games industry. In many cases this leads to developers trying to do things in-house and giving themselves massive problems as they try to tease professional performance from blushing team members on microphone.
Whatever you need, from a grizzled US space marine, to a crazed super villain, a robot vampire, a malevolent sentient computer system to a cartoon dolphin who wants to help your children learn. You specify what you need and The Masques will supply someone who can do it quickly, creatively and professionally – with proper accents, intensity and delivery.
We know the importance of audio in games. You know what will happen if you try to get a QA staff member or, God help you, a programmer to be exuberant and outgoing on a microphone.
