The thoughts and opinions expressed are those of the writer and not Gamasutra or its parent company. This is a series of articles that describe how you, the heroic indie game developer, can get excellent voice acting into your game. This can be voice acting that sounds as good as what you hear in an AAA title, but fit within a three or four-figure indie budget. My background:  I ran a voice acting studio for video games, and I've spent years on various creative projects including animations, video games, audio dramas, and podcasts where voice acting was used ( some demos here ). I've just finished casting  The Godkiller – Chapter 1 , a puzzle adventure game that wi
