Silent Hill 2

We get a kick out of working on Iconic titles especially an legendary game like this. A great job by Bloober Team for pulling this off with aplomb. With a special huge hat’s off to Bloober’s Maciej Głomb for holding the ship together. What a journey. The challenge of casting to honour the original masterpiece made for a fun adventure for the casting crew Natalie Beran and Beth Robb Adams, and accolades to the fabulous cast: Luke …

Superhero fun!

We’re always delighted when the games we get dirty with are well received. Capes the debut game from Spitfire Interactive from Brisbane got a hearty 80 on both IGN and Checkpoint Gaming. Nice work guys! A superhero turn-based adventure that’s a “boisterous good time… Capes was a delight to play for the entire 30-odd-hour experience.” Thanks Charlie Kelly for the review.

We had a boisterous blast record…

Best German Game 2023

Last week the mimimi game “Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew” won the German Developer Awards Best Game of the Year 2023. It also won Best Audio Design and Best Graphics. It is actually the ultimate going out with a bang moment for the mimimi team as they chose to disband, relax and take stock before any new ventures rise phoenix like from the fire.

We’ve had a long history working with the mimimi team, providing En…

Horizon Forbidden West

It’s always a delight to get down and dirty with driven visionaries. Guerrilla Games are such a team. The way they’ve pulled out the stops to make this sequel shine is testament to their utter dedication to not compromise even under under the most trying of circumstances.

We’re deeply proud of our involvement casting, voice recording and face capturing the magic. It is always a dream come true when developers ha…

The Vale: Shadow of the Crown

We wanted to help Falling Squirrel with this ground breaking micro indie title that had a blind audience in mind so we were delighted when Dave Evans reached out wanting us to help them find and record a sight impaired actor for one of the roles.

Since the game came out it has rightly received accolades for its innovation and accessibility and we are delighted that it was in the final five for the 2021 Game Award for innovation in …

“Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun – Aiko’s Choice” IGN Review

Another episode of Shadow Tactics gets a blinding review from IGN. Hat’s off to Mimimi for their stirling work and the tight well crafted script. It’s always heartening to get “great voice acting” mention but as always it is strong character design and writing that make casting and recording a delight. Big thanks to cast and crew for all the great work.

Murder and more with Sherlock Holmes

We are delighted to share our casting and recording handiwork once again. This time, in the latest Frogwares title Sherlock Holmes Chapter One. You can now dip your toes into the world of Sherlock Holmes, hone your sleuth skills and enjoy the voice acting. YouTube

“…one of the most charming, grounded lead female performances in gaming to date.”

After Chicken Police ended 2020 with a review stating “PERHAPS THE VIDEOGAME VOICE WORK OF THE YEAR.” We’re dancing into 2021 with The Medium getting a flood of accolades for the performances. And we utterly adore the paradox of ‘the most charming, grounded lead female‘ – for a horror game.

Great reviews that recognise our contribution to a game are always received with joy. However, our work in…

Perhaps the videogame voice work of the year.

Clucking Chicken Police are on a roll… The idea, then the writing is where the magic lies and that credit goes to Balint Bank Varga and The Wild Gentlemen. The task of casting, recording and directing was our contribution. Mark Estdale discovered the game on the indie floor at Reboot Blue and helped the developer on the journey from dream, to publisher, to here. We’re very proud of the results.

” it’s perhap…
