Frequently Asked Questions
Because video game content asks VO artists to create both human and creature characters, I think one important skill is vocal flexibility and range. Additionally, an ability to truly act and portray genuine emotions is a necessity for modern gaming. There are so many complex stories in games today, so I think a strong video game voiceover requires a connection to the script.
Yes, I am available for live directed sessions and am equipped with Source Connect in my home studio which features really great equipment for optimal sound quality. I always enjoy directed sessions for video games, but I am also able to record independently if needed.
I’ve been playing video games for as long as I can remember, so I have seen the evolution over time. I think it’s obvious that the animation has become significantly more advanced, but the most exciting change has been the volume of voiced characters in the video game world. Not all that long ago, if characters spoke, it was either repeated one liners or readable text on the screen. Now, as video game voice over artists, we are able to voice full scenes and continued story lines.
Because video game characters now hold so much depth and complexity, I feel that players connect more with human voices. The fandom is strong, and they feel close to the game characters they know and love. AI generated voices don’t hold the same emotion, and as a gamer myself, I know I enjoy the humanity in the journeys of my favorite games. I think working with humans also allows for more nuance and uniqueness of character.
Tom provides video game voiceovers for all genres—RPGs, action-adventure, horror, fantasy, simulation, and more. He adapts his style to fit each game’s world and audience as a voice actor.
Yes. Most video game voiceover projects include a set number of revisions to ensure the voice aligns with the game’s creative direction and developer feedback.
Yes. I have the versatility to voice multiple characters within a project, not just the lead. I bring distinctive, authentic voices to supporting roles, background characters, and even creatures.

This flexibility allows me to fully support the needs of any video game voice-over project.
