TheForce.net has obtained a scan of this article from Animation Magazine. The article discusses voice acting in video games and focuses on some of the upcoming LucasArts titles (mostly Bounty Hunter). Here's a quote from Darragh O'Farrell, voice department manager at LEC:
"Every project throws us some kind of curveball. We're always looking for Star Wars movie soundalikes, or in the case of Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb we needed to find actors who could speak Cantonese and Mandarin. So we're kept pretty busy."
They also have to find someone who can replicate the performance of the late Roy Conrad in Full Throttle. Be sure to read the full article for a bit of a glimpse into the game voice acting process.

    http://www.doublefine.com/roy_conrad.htm is a nice tribute to Roy Conrad, for those who haven't seen it.

    That article said nothing about Full Throttle and Roy's alternate. Your article was misleading. I read the whoooole thing. I want my 2 minutes back.

    Hey, I didn't say it was in the article. That's what we in the biz call "editorializing."


    Okay, so I'm not really in the biz.

    Why? You'd only waste them again.
