Any gamer will tell you that these days video games are more than just something to pass time. They are interactive movies with rich story lines, detailed characters and a "choose your own adventure" story that puts you in the center of the action.
Red Dead Redemption 2 and Overwatch are two massive games with record-setting scope. I interviewed actors Kaili Vernoff (Susan Grimshaw in Red Dead Redemption 2) and Jen Cohn (Pharah in Overwatch) about their careers, the business of voice acting and their part in bringing their skills to these and other popular game titles.
Also in this episde: Social Media gone wrong, voice acting in the lean times, NDA nightmares, fake horses and straws for cigarettes, the important difference between a cut scene and a cartoon, plus LATKE MANIA!!
Thanks as always to John Beach for voicing the show intro and to Christina Andretta for the show announcements.
