How do you ensure every member of your ensemble cast has a unique dialogue voice? How do you effectively carry over the character voices from a hit game to its sequel?

This talk breaks down the processes I followed when establishing tone and voice guidelines for such a large ensemble cast. It begins with an explanation of how I analysed the first game's script, then how I tracked the results of that analysis, then how I developed my findings into character profiles meant as both writing and localisation guides.
Then I explain the alchemical processes necessary to transform all this data into rich, immersive character dialogue that showcases the diversity of your cast.
