services

From strategy through launch, we view video game talent through a holistic lens. To us, it is more than simply casting an actor or group of actors to voice a role. Because we understand and speak their language, we are able to effectively communicate your needs and their expectations.

Our process starts with creating an overall strategy that includes a comprehensive review of the scope, story, timeline and budget for the project. From there, we dive in.
