Damn, this game has so many interesting characters. After you had Sam Lake here i thought like ok, at this point you had them all in your pod. But then i realized that there is still Mattew, Peter Franzén, Saga herself Melanie Liburd, Sean Ashmore, maybe even Old Gods, and it would be wery interesting to hear all of them.

"leave them wanting more" he's 100% right, as much as I hate to admit it because I definitely want more. The looks and voice certainly don't hurt, of course, but it's also a genuine pleasure to see a craftsman like this at work. I grew up on videogames where the VO (if they even had any) was someone's cousin mumbling into a handheld tape recorder in someone's garage. I NEVER dreamed we'd get talent and craft like this in videogames of all media. It's been phenomenal to see the medium evolve like this, and it's thanks to actors like Porretta. PLEASE don't give me access to this man via Cameo lmao, I cannot stress this enough.

@midnightjay Месяц назад

This is a fantastic interview! I really like how you asked a range of questions of Poretta's career first and you let him talk. I enjoy your interviews because you respect the person talking, it's amazing how rare it is lol And you're engaging and don;t disregard answers to move to the next, giving room to add or transition into the next question more naturally. Every time James is mentioned it changes the mood so fast, still so fresh and depressing. I'm glad he ended it on a happy note, good memories of him. I'm also so glad Poretta agreed to this, so great to see and hear more from him. I hope he's open to more stuff like this in the future (especially if he joined social media in some fashion, he has a great personality). So cool that people in the video game industry open to speaking and reaching out to fans. These Remedy interviews are my favs, such good questions and answers and everything feels genuine. There's always god chemistry in the interviews. To add, I saw your concerns about your interview style but you're doing great and the people interviewed always seem happy by the end. Keep it up!

Thank you so much for this wonderful comment. I really appreciate this. It helps me make my next episodes better than the last

@bryguytyguy Месяц назад

Abhi, please do other interviews with Illka and Matthew soon. They’ll get view for sure and people want to keep updates with them. Your interviews are personal and introspective, I’m sure you had other questions you wanted to ask. They all seem like they’re willing to do interviews not relating to just promoting popular games, so if they get to say more than what they previously said I think we could get deeper into how they feel too. These are truly artist and fascinating people and they deserve more spotlight than the mainstream gives them.

I think its more about the fact that with time you evolve. And since it was a new game, things were quite different

@K4R1N3L1M4 Месяц назад

@@BehindTheVoicePodAnd that is a part of a creative direction too! They could've stuck to their guns and do the second like the first just to play safe. Theres a decade between the two games, that's a direction a lot of ppl would take. I'm glad they didn't.

But your interviewing and Matthews views are something I’ve genuinely been looking forward to and it’s so great now that it’s here.
