We are delighted to have Michael Schwalbe, Voiceactor / Casting Director / Voice Director at What He Said Voiceovers, LLC, joining us to explore the topic of "How Important are Voiceovers for your Indie Game?"



Throughout our discussion, Michael will share invaluable insights into the significance of voiceovers in indie game development. We'll delve into various topics, including the artistry of voiceacting, effective direction, emerging industry trends, the role of AI in voiceovers, and the importance of unionization in the voiceover community.
