Short interview of Nicolas Becker who is for me one of the most talented contemporary sound designer. I love his approach and philosophy when it comes to create sounds that make sense and evoke emotion. It's inspiring !

Voice talent has been integral to each of our games. Recently, questions arose here about how we work with our voice talent, which we want to address.

Actors breathe life and humanity into everything we do, and over time, we've gone from working with a small number from our team to dozens of individuals around the world. We offer the strongest AI protections in the industry to our talent, as we think their work is irreplaceable.

Our games are intentionally made by human beings; no generative AI is being used in the creation of the voiceover, artwork, or any other content that goes into them.

We have not re-cast any of our characters in Hades II, and wish to keep working with each and every member of our wonderful cast.

We have respected and will continue to respect any actor needing to pause work during the ongoing SAG-AFTRA video game strike. While none of our games have ever been subject to SAG-AFTRA contracts for a variety of reasons, we wish SAG-AFTRA the best in their negotiations to compel larger signatory studios to provide the kinds of protections we think actors deserve.

we've been working on this road trip management rpg where you "battle" against mundane things on the road for the past 5ish years and as we're new to Blusky we'd really appreciate some help reaching out here too. If you see this please RT and share the summer road trip. 🫶 #keepdriving

Finally took the time to watch this amazing talk from @mattiacellotto.bsky.social.
It's gold to have this amount of information from someone who is one of my reference when it's about recording and sound design.
