Video game voice overs on the increase at Voice123

New York, NY - January 26, 2006 - During the past years, video games have altered the entertainment industry. During the Electronic Entertainment Expo held in Los Angeles in May 2000, Douglas Lowenstein, President of the Interactive Digital Software Association said that “given a choice between the passive experience of watching TV and playing video games with the family in the living room, increasingly people are choosing games.”

That same year, the video game industry reached sales that were comparable to the movie industry's box office. In the past, games carried movie titles. Today, the opposite may also happen, with movies that are made from video game titles.

As the video game industry continues growing and advancing technologically, the voice over industry can play an important role in this growth. Providing professional voices for hundreds of games that are constantly released is a challenge that the voice over industry has to face. On the other hand, video game creators and producers have a challenge finding and hiring the perfect voices they need to produce the best games.

An important issue that voice casting directors for video games encounter when looking for voice overs, is the conflict that arises between the budget and the number of voice actors to hire for a game. Lani Minella (http://laniminella.voice123.com/?c=p10), a voice over talent and casting director for the video game industry explains that “many games have a ton of different characters and not often a budget to support a ton of voice actors to perform 190 individual parts.”

The good news is that the video game industry now has the best way to search, find, and cast the best voices for their video games, meeting their time and budget requirements.
