What insights does Melissa White provide about voice acting?
Hello fellow gamers and welcome to the Video Gamers Podcast. We've been diving into the people behind the games we all know and love and there's nothing quite like that character on screen brought to life before our very eyes. We share their story in a way that movies just can't mimic. We are part of their story, part of their struggles and we are there with them. A lot of times we are them and that's the beauty of gaming. But there's a gap between an on-screen character and the people that are playing them. And that gap is bridged by the amazing men and women that voice the characters on the screen. On this episode, we're diving a bit further into the world of voice acting to get an in-depth look at the people that help bring our games to life.
But first, some introductions are in order. I am your host, Josh, and joining me, he'll never forget that one time he was sick and nailed that perfect Kratos impression, and now he has it at the top of his resume.
It's Ryan. Death can have me when it earns me. Yeah, that's not as good this time. See, I gotta get that frog, and then it gives me the Barry White voice, and then I can go from there, but...
It's okay. You did it once, Ryan. That's all that matters. I haven't saved. I have the one.
I'll just go on that.
And joining us, she is actually a voice actor with experience in games like Dragonair, Silent Gods, AFK Arena, Fortnite, and Genshin Impact. It's the incredibly talented Melissa White.
Well, what an introduction. Thank you for having me. Right? I hope I can live up to that hype. I'm here.
I was hoping you were gonna do Kratos there.
Nah, I gotta get sick first too.
What are the challenges of being a voice actor?
Don't try it. We need your voice for this episode.
Maybe by the end of the episode.
There you go, right? Awesome. Well, Melissa, thank you so much for taking time out of your day to hop on the podcast with us. We are very excited. This is going to be a good time. Our listeners, you know, it's one of those things where voice acting is always... It's just near and dear to gamers, man. I don't know what it is, but it's like I have never heard a gamer talk poorly about just the... like the, the whole of voice acting. I mean, sometimes I think gamers can be a little critical and say, I didn't like the voice acting in that game, but it's like, as a whole, like gamers, we just, we respect it, man. And I like that. So thank you so much for coming on here. And, uh, I did mention some of the games, uh, that you have been in, but let me just repeat those for people.
Cause this is awesome, man. So dragon air, silent gods, AFK arena, uh, a little game called, I don't know, Fortnite. I think people maybe have heard of that. And then another little kind of indie game, maybe called Genshin Impact. Uh, You know, only like tens of millions of people play every day. So this is going to be a lot of fun. I mean, we're very excited to have you. Getting that peek behind the curtain is really just fun. And, you know, we might ask some dumb questions along the way, but it's things that we're curious about. And it's like, you know, I'm a kid, man. If I'm curious and Ryan's curious, then I know there's listeners out there that are going like, yeah, I've always wondered that. So, but we do like to start off with the important stuff.
And that is that you are actually a gamer.
I sure am. Sup gamers.
Yes. Fellow game nerds. Yay. And so we were chatting a little bit before we started recording and kind of over email. And one of the things we always ask are like, hey, what are some of the favorite games that you've played lately? And I got to say, I love your answers on this. So what are some of your favorite games that you've played lately?
So I just finished playing Silent Hill 2, the remake. That was my first experience with the series. I'd never played Silent Hill ever, any of them.
How does voice acting in gaming differ from anime?
Oh, so you didn't know what to expect.
I had no idea.
Oh, dude, I was messed up about it. That game will get you. There's a reason they remade that. So what did you think about it?
