"Creature Vocal Design" Many characters in today's films, shows and games are wholly unique in their visual design, and need to sound distinct from creatures in the real world around us. Beasts and monsters from decades past could be covered by a handful of custom sounds, but what about characters who need vocal treatment for an entire script? Let's learn about how these unique voices are brought to life by some of the best sound designers in the games industry: Michael Kent - God of War: Ragnarok, Mass Effect, Dragon Age Beau Jimenez - The Last of Us: Part II, God of War: Ragnarok Jeff Darby - Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Death Stranding Ash Read - Horizon: Forbidden West, Returnal

Ever wondered about the intricacies behind characters’ voices in your favorite video games? Watch our exclusive interview with Damian Goodwin, Performance Director of SYNCED, a new companion shooter set in a techno-apocalyptic future. To make this new IP a success, the team is focusing not only on extraordinary gameplay, but also on creating a compelling plot and complex characters with authentic personalities. To this end, Damian says that the key is to understand the environmental circumstances and back stories of each character. Voice actors help players connect to the characters only through truth and authenticity. Every single line has to be truthful and believable in order to develop an immersive experience for players.

In this livestream, Creative Assembly’s developers; their Senior Dialogue Engineer - Victoria Prentice, Principal Sound Designer - Jon Newman and Lead Sound Designer - James Magee, will be discussing their approaches to creating immersive soundscapes for mass battles and character-driven dialogue. With the possibility of multiple activities happening on screen, game sound must convey action clearly and in different ways. The interactive nature of gameplay stands it apart from the music and film industries where audio is linear. With games, it is not possible to know exactly what the player will do and where they will go, the audio must account for these complexities, creating sound for different locations, interactions, characters and events. Join CA live as our experts break down their process, the different disciplines within an AAA audio department, key considerations throughout development and the tools and skills required. #CreativeAssembly #TotalWar #AlienIsolation Keep up to date: https://twitter.com/cagames https://en-gb.facebook.com/CreativeAssembly/ Find out more: https://www.creative-assembly.com/ https://www.creative-assembly.com/careers/ -------------------------------------------------------------- "GATHERING THE GREATEST" We gather the greatest talent out there, coming together to craft authentic and detailed experiences of the highest quality.
