Red Lotus. All Voices and Characters Performed by Sam John
Red Lotus was one of the most rewarding projects I have worked on. From start to finish, it was an absolute pleasure working on this game. The game director, Jay Phillips, was so clear in his direction and character expectations that it made every moment I spent in research, analysis, and development so worth it. The most challenging part about this project was finding ways to utilize the accent choice for the region effectively and with enough distinction for all the different characters I voiced. I doubt I would have received this incredible role to play in this game if it wasn’t for Sabrina Mata suggesting my name as a voice actor to Jay, and I am so thankful for her.
Being in Professor Jennefer Morris’s Voice-Over class was the perfect pairing for this project. Each week, I would utilize techniques and tactics that Professor Morris had taught me. It reminded me of how invaluable my training here at SCAD is to me and what a blessing it is for me to be here pursuing this dream. I wanted to find ways to create truthful and lived-in characters throughout the five levels of this game. I cannot express how grateful I am to have been a part of this project. I received this rare opportunity, and a hundred and fifteen pieces of dialogue recorded virtually later, I can say without a shadow of a doubt that I am very proud of the work I put into this game.
I am blown away by the animation and the work that went into this game by the developers constantly. I am super excited to share the trailer for Red Lotus with you all, and I will share some Gameplay that showcases the character voices soon!
