WORK HISTORY
Core Vo Lead @Ripple Effect Studios
Vancouver, BC, CA
Established a streamlined script ingestion protocol using proprietary voice-over databases and authoring tools, optimizing workflow for processing high-volume dialogue content.* Implemented dialogue for both in-game cinematics and gameplay, ensuring smooth integration of voice-over across all aspects of gameplay.* Designed and implemented systemic voice-over content, such as battlechatter and barks, creating dynamic and immersive in-game communication.* Contributed significantly to the recording pipeline by managing casting, attending recording sessions, and processing dialogue for offline and runtime applications.Leadership Highlights:* Led the creation of a telemetry system to track and improve dialogue line functionality, initiating and drafting a design based on team feedback. I facilitated collaboration by gathering input from other VO designers, refining the design, and presenting a final document to tech teams for implementation. This tool significantly reduced manual playtesting for non-functioning lines, as well as provided designers a way to leverage data to drive line count decisions.* Volunteered to lead the design of a database tracking system for dialogue statuses, including implications for writing, recording, implementation, and localization. I facilitated meetings to ensure consensus across departments, formalized the design, and worked with the tech team to update our toolset, improving future usability.Additional Highlights:* Travelled to London for hands-on voice-over recording sessions, working closely with actors and directors to ensure the quality of dialogue performances.* Conducted an in-depth scoping exercise in Guildford, UK to set project estimates for the upcoming year, improving accuracy in production timelines and resource allocation.* Created and managed department budgets, including detailed estimates for talent, studio, and staffing costs, ensuring cost-effective voice-over production.
