TheGod of Warfranchise has been renowned for the epic and grand action set pieces, and the focus on mythological beings. The game developers spent years exclusively working on the series and improved along with the growth of technology and could now capture the voice acting and motion capture simultaneously.
The production period of modern triple-A high-quality video games has peaked and rivals the effort and production value of live-action films. Talented voice actors step into a sound booth with all their markers on their bodies and get to work not just voicing but embodying the characters in real-time.
God of War Voice Actor Fires Back at a Nonsensical Statement That Prejudiced His Craft
Santa Monica Studiostruck gold with the soft reboot of the iconic franchise through the Norse Saga. After forgiving himself for his past transgressions and abuse of his godhood by the end of Valhalla with a powerful and moving monologue by Christopher Judge,the gaming community is eager to see the next major saga continue Kratos’ character developmentas a protector and not a destroyer.
The recent surge of artificial intelligence gave the voice-acting community a reason to unite and stand against it; however, certain people in power like the head of Amazon Games claim that video games do not require any acting, and this nonsensical comment raised a few eyebrows including the Ghost of Sparta’s as he fired back with the perfect comeback with Ashley Johnson’s raw performance.
Thank goodness there’s really no acting in video games…Absolutely brilliant ❤️https://t.co/tDG4doKFtf
People underestimate the rigorous methods voice actors have to endure to get in the zone and fully encompass a character. Troy Baker, Nolan North, Laura Bailey, and Ashley Johnson are among the few great actors working today, and each of them brought their best performance during a take and that was seen during the featured clip of Johnson acting as Ellie during Joel’s execution inThe Last of Us Part 2.

Artificial intelligence will never feel the same as pure talent and it is time to stand against it before voice actors are put out of jobs and opportunities are kept beyond their reach. Voice acting is no different from traditional acting, and if it means anything, taking on a role as powerful as Kratos is a much more demanding task than showing up on set in full costume.
The Efforts Made in The Last of Us Part 2 Is Proof That the Head of Amazon Games Is Out of Touch
The gaming community often overlooks the efforts made by voice actors. The moving monologue delivered by Judge inthe final moments of theValhallaDLC is arguably one of the biggest featsachieved by the character throughout his entire career and a testament to the writing paired with Judge’s talent a potent mix for an unforgettable performance.

Christopher Judge was in the right to fire back and did so with class and honored his colleague in the process, two birds with one stone. Artificial intelligence may not go away, but people in power are responsible for protecting real talent from being rolled over.
Both franchises are first-party exclusives of PlayStation Studios and each title has always exemplified quality storytelling and these major endeavors require talent. The recentGod of Wargames would never be the same if they were made with AI.
Claiming something isn’t what it is can be hypocritical, especially when proof is scattered across the internet. Voice actors may not get the same recognition as Hollywood A-listers, but players acknowledge talent, and it is time for business heads to do the same and give them the respect they deserve.
