DOOM 3 Voice Work Article
On Location With: DOOM 3 is a GameSpy article describing their recent trip to the Salami Studios in North Hollywood where Activision & id Software had people do voice work for the game. The actors they hired are mostly veteran game voice actors having worked on games like Metal Gear Solid 2, Knights of the Old Republic, Call of Duty and many others.
The highlight of the session comes at the very end, when LaMarr is allowed to cut loose and perform a variety of grunts and screams (saved for last as it puts the biggest strain on each actor's voice). With direction from Willits, Stratton and casting director Margaret Tang, LaMarr goes through a variety of screams, including one marine's inspired plea of "don't you leave me, motherf***er!!!" (It's an M-rated game, after all.) After all the serious dialogue that's preceded it, the perfect delivery of the line actually causes everyone in the studio to burst out laughing.
