This article by  Mufaddal Fakhruddin for Tbreak came across our feeds this past weekend – and it’s welcome news for those of us who like working with voice actors (heck, you’ve probably realized most of us over here in the Tulgey Wood are voice actors).

If you want a TL;DR summary, the fantasy RPG video game series Fable, games a couple here in the company remember fondly– is being rebooted and the newest entry in the series apparently will have over 1,000 characters voices by over 100 real voice actors, not AI.

Video games employ some of us and  a lot of our colleagues – and let’s face it: video game companies usually have bigger budgets than us indie audio fiction folks. So it’s great to see people with more means keeping that many people in the creative process.

When we get to casting Rogue Tyger, season 3, we will have over 50 characters that need voices and we’re looking forward to casting real humans: both ones we’ve worked with before and some new folks. That’s a huge part of the fun.
