I think it's essential for writers to be involved in the recording process as things can often go wrong in this area. Voice actors are all too often presented with a wad of XL sheets, no proper character notes, context or reference and are just expected to perform.

Traditionally games never used professional writers to create their narrative, so there's definitely a residual feeling that hiring a proper writer is somewhat of a luxury, rather than a necessity. Like a feng shui consultant.

There's always a lot of pressure with big projects and so as a writer you have to be robust and flexible, with a tough hide.

There's a moment on the arch of a jump, when you are neither rising nor falling. All you can see is the sky. All you can feel is the air and all you can hear is your heartbeat. That is all you are. Muscle and motion. It's called the deadpoint. I live for that.

You can't have bravery without fear...

I enjoy co-directing or even being there just for support because you get to see your script come to aural life in front of you.

Videogames need more women and are too reliant on male, stubble-covered heroes.
