Here's a rogues gallery of the 24 characters I voice for this one, my tongue is tired #videogames #voiceactor
Awww, thank you!
Honestly, I think by the time I hang up the microphone The Paleblood Hunt might be the most meaningful thing I ever create and I'm more than ok with that!
Very excited to be bringing the audiobook version of Scholar's Codex from @tuneandfairweather.bsky.social to life!

Jay is stood, taking a selfie with an audio studio behind him. He's smiling like an idiot because he's very happy and mildly exhausted.
This is the face of someone who's just started work on the biggest role of their career.
16 years I've been hammering at the door and today I got to sink my teeth into something juicy that I cannot wait to shout about.
It's been a long journey, but worth every step.

I immediately had this suggested to me on launch as a game to stream because I'd love it.
My community know me well!
Congrats on the launch, I look forward to diving in!
No way dude! In my mind, you and Coatsink are synonymous 🥲
Hope you land on your feet somewhere equally cool.
But... what if?
I want to attempt watching both seasons of Andor straight into Rogue One in a single sitting.

A dog, sat on a table, rests it's head on the palm of a man's hand.
The dog distribution system was very kind last night, this is the only picture from the night that matters 😂
Happy 2026 everyone! 🎉
I would move to LA almost for this experience alone. The Matrix is one of my favourite films and this looks like such an amazing way to experience it.
Happy Birthday! 🎈🎉🎂🎁
I'm finally home after 2 weeks away so I'm going to chill the fuck out and read as my gift to you.
Yet another reason to hate the monarchy!
A notepad with a sequences of numbers lies on a desk. These are the directors notes from a videogame recording session.
Today I got the privilege to watch as 18 months of writing, planning, casting and directing came to a head as we recorded the emotional heart of the story.
I couldn't have asked for more talented or professional actors, or a better team to experience this with.

Poster for Frostpunk 2 DLC, Fractured Utopias. It shows a man in snow gear with block of ice slowly covering his image.
Frostpunk 2 DLC lands later today!
We recorded a LOT of new content for this so go forth and send the children back down the mines...
Thanks as always to @11bitstudios.bsky.social for letting me embrace the snowlands once again!

The SIDE front desk is shown in the picture, the SIDE logo prominent in the background and the front desk decorated for Christmas.
A large table, with a black surface is in the centre of the picture. Around the table there are seven chairs and seven scripts laid out, one in front of each chair. This is the setup for a table read of a video game
Today I was at SIDE running a table read, something almost never done for videogames.
The cast and team are amazing, this was such a wonderful creative day of collaboration. More of this please, Games Industry!
The BTS footage from today should be interesting 🤣

Day 1 of a new videogame directing project at the wonderful @sideglobal.bsky.social
We'll see if I'm still smiling after the inevitable trauma and death we'll be recording in the coming months...

LAUNCH DAY!
A Pinball Game That Makes You Mad is out, now! Be prepared to get berated by me as you fail a bunch of times you lousy nerds.
Good luck, don't rage quit...

It's because EGX doesn't really exist anymore, it's just a comic-con tack on since it was purchased by Reed Pop.
It really is, first open world game in a while that's excited me so I'm super disappointed, as a gamer, not to be jumping in!
It's not even "these days", actors with home studios have been around for decades.
This is a very conscious choice to use AI instead or perhaps they literally don't have someone on the team who has the knowledge to guide them better which is also possible!
You can create a pipeline where you have a roster of actors "on-call" who can turn round audio within 4 hours, this is not a difficult thing to achieve.
AI is a choice and a different one could easily have been made that would keep it collaborative, ethical and in the spirit of creating art.
If you, as a studio decide you're going to use human voices, you can easily create a fast, responsive pipeline.
There are 1000s of voice actors, ready and available with broadcast quality home studios that can get you audio, fast.
This is a leadership problem, not a logistical one.
Like others I played the Arc Raiders playtest, enjoyed it and was looking forward to the game only to discover they are using AI voices.
Their reasoning was that they can "go from ideation to implemented voice work in hours not months"
Thing is, that's not an AI issue, that's a pipeline problem...

Oooof, you dirty bitch! I'm at a hotel and now hoping the buffet breakfast has plain toast and butter
Talk toppings to me... butter, marmalade, jams, peanut butter, Nutella? What you putting on this bad boy?
I always think there's a purists argument for simple white bread with lashings of good butter.
Two YouTube comments. One says "kind of sounds like the guy from Stanley Parable" The other says "Exactly, with a mix of Bennett Foddy"
"Jay, can you give us a read that's the 'Stanley Parable meets Bennett Foddy'?"
I'll do my best...
The buckets use is determined by it's user...
A picture at the top shows 3 people in a recording booth. Picture and bottom left showing a lanyard for SIDE recording studios, picture in bottom right showing a pan au chocolate
A hotel room with a shower cubicle that's visible from outside the bathroom...
3 pictures in one of a Side Bar cocktail, 1kg steak and a large tiramisu
A milking stool and bucket, don't ask.
A busy day yesterday directing at SIDE on day one of a new project!
Highlights were:
Working at SIDE with great actors
Weird "shower show" setup at hotel
AMAZING dinner with a 1KG steak
Hotel Cuck Chair of the year
Happy Friday...
Ah, the internet..
I've clearly woken up to there being some kind of discourse overnight but it's posts that hint at the thing without talking about the thing and then you have to go and fing the thing and see whether or not it's a thing you're actually interested in.
Or... I could stroke my dog
