Technique that survives the scene
For actors who want to enter games, prepare for a game audition or become more confident and efficient in professional recording sessions.
Every session is tailored to your material, your deadline and the way you learn. The goal is not simply to understand a technique—it is to make it available when pace, emotion and professional pressure increase.

The process
A clear path from preparation to performance
01
Decode
We break down game-specific script formats, missing context, branching dialogue and the information hidden in line labels.
02
Play
You practise fast, playable choices across multiple takes without losing character truth or vocal clarity.
03
Sustain
We build repeatable booth habits for efforts, combat, long sessions and direction under pressure.
Bring the brief, including its gaps
Game audition material can offer very little context. We can separate the information the brief supplies from the choices you need to make, then work on alternatives that a director can use.
- Bring the character description, line labels and recording instructions you are permitted to share.
- Tell us whether you are preparing an audition or building confidence for recording sessions.
- Note where you lose the thread: the relationship, intention, changes between lines or response to direction.
Preparation starts with the acting task. Useful variation can come from a different relationship or objective, without making every take bigger or louder.
Try the game audition exercise for working with limited context, including an original scene and two contrasting choices.
Questions
Frequently asked
Do I need previous voice-over experience?
No. The work starts from your existing acting craft and translates it into the specific constraints and opportunities of game recording.
Can we work on a game audition?
Yes. We can work directly on your audition material, including character choices, line-to-line variation, efforts and how to present multiple useful takes.
Who leads the coaching?
Keith Higinbotham is an active AAA voice director and performer whose credits include Baldur’s Gate III, Dragon Quest I–III HD-2D Remakes, Space Marine II and Nioh 3.
