Awesome news.
ReplyDeleteHad Brianna heard of Shenmue before she came in to voice Shenhua? What drew her to want to work on the voice over for the game?
Were you a fan of Shenmue before being asked to voice Shenhua? and if not what did you know about Shenmue before it? Looking forward to see your Shenhua.
ReplyDeleteMy question is whether or not Brianna was aware of Shenmue before voicing Shenhua...😋
ReplyDeleteMy real question is - How was she selected to take the role of Shenhua for the game? Did she need to audition?
What was it like working alongside Corey and his daughter :)?
Is there anyone else that we have yet to learn about that has provided voice work for Shenmue 3?
Since Shenmue 3 has a character perspective system that allows a stronger bond to grow between Ryo and Shenhua, could she feel that relationship growing from the script and lines she was reading, and if it’s something that she is able to talk about, could she tell instances of the relationship heading in the opposite direction? :)
How is being directed by Team Suzuki different from being directed for other Japanese games? And how is Japanese voice directing different from Western voice directing?
ReplyDeleteWill you be playing Shenmue 3 at all? I know Corey will be.
ReplyDeleteMy question how much freedom was there to improvise, if any? Also how did working on Shenmue III differ compared to other projects you've been a part of?
ReplyDeleteHey Brianna
ReplyDeleteI heard in another video that your overall lines was about 2,200 during your recording session for Shenhua. If you've seen the full script what percentage do you think your part took up out of all the other rolls? Or at least compared to Ryo Ren & Guizang
If you can't answer this question, I have another.
Have you heard when you'll be returning to the studio to record your part for Shenmue IV?
PS Brianna go get Shenmue I&II and play them :D
PS Switch 猫 :)
Would you voice for shenmue 4? Perhaps indefinitely?
ReplyDeleteUpdate: cut-off for submissions will be at the end of today (Sunday, March 14th).
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the interview
ReplyDeleteOnce selected for the role, how much were you prepped on the history of Shenmue, the character and the overall story before recording began?
