The indiscretion of voice actors 06 Mar, 2010 / Comments: 8

By Jason


Turns out that following someone's twitter feed benefits more than serial killers. For example, the twitter page of Alexandra Boyd, voice of Elaine Marley, reveals the following February 21st tweet:
Alexandras ep of New Tricks on BBC1 mon 9pm. FROM PARIS WITH LOVE opens fri & new series of Monkey Island starts recording on Tuesday!!
Which would certainly gel with the existence of the all-but-announced Monkey Island 2 special edition. (She probably means "series" of recording sessions - it seems a wee early for this to be Telltale-related.)

Of course, Boyd isn't the only one sharing things best kept behind closed doors. Take David Boyll, voice of Hugh Bliss and Philo Pennyworth (not to mention D'oro the Explorer in Tales), who reveals a disquieting openness about the frequency of his bathroom visits in the latest interview snagged by samandmax.co.uk.

    Yes, and SIDE has been used by Lucasarts before, on STFU.

    I hate to reply to my own post, but perhaps we could start a new rumour that Patrick Stewart was in fact recording lines too as the new voice for Guybrush haha :P

    Oh. The Telltale forums just reminded me: last november, they were talking about "major" news surfacing in March. This should be it.

    Thought that went without saying!

    Yeah, but I'm just stacking-up some evidence for any doubters.
