Voice acting in video games can sometimes mean you’re acting alone in a room. Though the increasing prevalence of motion capture in games has given actors more opportunities to perform together in real, physical space, a lot of roles still have people recording lines in a booth. In the case of Final Fantasy VII Revelation, a lot of the cast has to work against recordings from other actors to try to match their intensity and keep the energy of a scene consistent. Despite not getting to work in the same room all the time, the members of the cast still have actors they love to work with and bounce off of in the series, and they all shared some stories at a New York City Comic Con panel.
Panel host Lucy James asked the cast about their favorite performances and if they felt they had scene partners who were particularly good at bringing out the best in them. They all had different answers.
Max Mittelman (Red XIII): I most often ask for a Cait Sith line to be played before I do something because I love the accent, so, I’ve probably asked 20 times for them to play your line for me in the booth, yeah.
Matt Mercer (Vincent): I was gonna say like I’ve a number of scenes with Yuffie and Vincent, two very different personalities on adventures together. It’s been so fun to listen to the energy you’re bringing to it and figure out how I could just be the wall that stops it.
