New GTA V previews

This was the thread
.
I had not read the latest updates though, which seem to indicate that she's not Amanda after all (maybe someone else).
Or maybe she's just toying around with the fans, since technically she can't confirm anything?

The voice fits.

She sounds like the character she voiced I guess, and I mean that in the way she's treating her job and putting #paycheck at the end of her tweet.

Dude, not everybody has to love videogames. Actors have to work, and they might not like what they're working on. Can't begrudge them that.
 
Am I the only one who read that tweet as sarcasm

Reads straight to me. She did the VO work awhile ago and now that the hype train is chugging along rabid GTA fans are blowing her twitter up looking for any information that she may have gleaned from her part. Probably didn't realize how big GTA is to gaming fans, signed a NDA and wondered why they were keeping everything so hush hush..

Completeley OT (so sorry for that) but I'm looking for the picture of the 4 guys on the coach excited and then a few moments later, disappointed.

Could you help me?

I assume she's a minor character, maybe a pedestrian?

No way you would voice a major character and have no idea who your voicing. And everyone's heard of GTA.

lol.. that's a possibility. Or maybe she's under a NDA and tweeted that hoping that the crazies would stop blowing up her twitter?

Ah, she's cute :)

Paycheck gig. It's a thing.

What a fucking bitch.

Juniors are on a roll lately, I swear.

Her IMDB says various voices. Maybe she just got some bizarre pedestrian lines and didn't really have a single character.

She could have voiced Amanda and various NPCs. You usually use actors you already have around for those. BioWare uses huge casts (Dragon Age: Origins has ~140 unique actors) and you still encounter repeats.

Judging by the trailers so far, Michael's wife is a pretty big character in the game. There's no way that voice actor doesn't even know her name. Besides, didn't all the big characters required the voice actors to do the motion capture?

Sounds like a sarcastic "leave me alone for god's sake, I can't tell anything" tweet.

In the thread there are other tweets, btw:

Again, seems like she's joking around.

Also looking at the dates: They're still doing voice overs?

That's what I thought. You only have to realise that you are voice-acting for the video game.

Keep on Rockstar's good side and they might let you have a piece of that residual honey ... maybe ... probably not.

(On the latter point, I wouldn't be surprised if they were doing facial capture. That seems to have improved from Trailer 2 to the protagonist trailers).

Game comes out in 4 months, they should be in full debugging mode, i'd guess.

They're ALWAYS doing voice overs. James McCaffrey was still recording stuff for Max Payne 3 like 2 months out. Even when the mo-cap is finished they're recording stuff, or doing ADR on mo-cap sessions, or ad-libbing, or w/e.

(On the latter point, I wouldn't be surprised if they were doing facial capture. That seems to have improved from Trailer 2 to the protagonist trailers).

Nah, they've probably just been touching up the facial animation.
 
You what would be amazing? If Rockstar patched out GFWL from GTA IV the way some other developers have been lately. I know that is is almost certainly not going to happen but it would rejuvenate the PC MP situation. I'd love to have the ability to just set up a GAF server and have people join without dealing with invites and what not.

I'm guessing she just recorded some random pedestrian dialogue or something for a few radio commercials (hence the "various voices" credit on her IMDB). Nothing too major.

Ugh, I kind of hate knowing the voice actors for games as even when they don't share similar features of that character I still find myself picturing them doing the voice over. So distracting sometimes.
 
really, i wouldn't hire someone if they expressed how much they don't give a shit about their work.

Going by this video UrbanRats linked to and her IMBD page, she's a comedic actress. Since this is a Rockstar game, the NDA for her must be strict, but people have figured out that she's working on GTA (maybe) and are probably messaging her for details.

Her other tweets definitely sound like she's joking, so I doubt she just doesn't care.

And even if she doesn't care. No biggy. Tons of people do good work without being fully invested or really caring deeply. Hell she could still be really invested in it and not really like it. Stranger things have happened. As long as the game is good. I am all over it.

OMG HOW DARE SHE STUPID WHORE I BET SHE SUCKED DAN HOUSER'S DICK WITH MORE PASSION

This is probably the same attitude Ray Liotta had when he voiced Tommy Vercetti.


Liotta was amazing in the voice recording “The last fucking video game I played was Pong”.

Vice city voice recording.

At least this girl "is not a total cock" like Burt Reynolds was.

Do you remember that? Reynolds to Dan Houser, “There’s going to be two hits here”.. “me hitting you and you hitting the floor!”.

Vice City memories.

Haven't seen this video in years. Back before I knew the awesomeness of Kevin McKidd.

LOVE FIST! LOVE FIST! LOVE FIST!

Exactly.
Besides, if she didn't voice Amanda, but some random pedestrian, what "part" are supposed to know about? You just record random "Damn!" and "Watch where you're going!".

Oh man, Burt Reynolds was a dick.
I'm happy they moved away from hollywood self important pricks, though i have a few names i'd love to have voicing the game.
To be fair, games now are more popular than ever, and even Hollywood actors (with Call of Duty and such) are getting the memo.
But really, if you have to cut money somewhere, that's the first place to do it, plus giving the gig to who really needs it, people with the same talent but without the "name".
