Gaijin discusses working with Charles Martinet for Runner2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien
A portion of a PushSquare interview with Mike Roush...
PS: What was it like working with [legendary voice actor] Charles Martinet?
AN: Charles is an absolute sweetheart and a professional through and through. Getting into the recording studio with him was a joy. We got to riff back and forth about silly product placement advertisements, and he even came up with some of those on the spot. I believe Tim’s Tomato Grinds is his.
When considering our narrator, we wanted someone who could speak clearly and say all of the impossible things we wanted them to say without tripping over our words. We wanted the voice to be reminiscent of Saturday morning cartoon narrators – a bit silly and full of whimsy. Charles, as you might imagine, fit the bill rather nicely.
