Pit People VO Spotlight: Ian Moreno

Posted by

As we were fleshing out more voices, Ian and I had both felt that unique voices for each of the main story’s heroes would be a cool thing to try. Ian gave Yosef a shot and we all unanimously loved it. It’s got a really fitting vibe for him.


Yosef is a demi-clops, meaning he’s part cyclops and part man. His past is somewhat mysterious as is his present. Meeting Yosef for the first time can be unnerving to some players. He’s always at the ready and seems questionably okay with just about anything that occurs. One subtle joke in Yosef’s design is that he prefers ranged attacks and yet he clearly lacks the depth perception required due to having just a single eyeball.

We’ve got less than a month to go before we’re back in Seattle, Washington for Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) West! As usual, this will be our biggest show of the year because we’re bringing tons of arcade cabinets and merch to our booth (#1501).

Here’s what we’re currently bringing with us and what you can do at our booth:

Arcade


Our circle of trust at PAX West 2016


 
It wouldn’t be a Behemoth booth without our custom-built arcade cabinets! We’ll have our circle of trust with the Pit People single player experience on 12 stations, plus an area with the following arcade cabinets: new Pit People PVP arcade cabinets where players can battle 1v1, Pit People co-op experience, BattleBlock Theater, Castle Crashers Remastered, Back Off Barbarian, and Alien Hominid HD. Try out all of our games on these arcade cabinets for freeee!!!

For those die-hard Pit People fans out there, we’re also going to have a special station or two with the Update 5 build that isn’t currently out yet. If you want to come try out permadeath or see the new leveling changes, we’ll have it on Day 1 and possibly a few other days as well. Just ask our staff about it when you get to our booth!

Pit People VO Spotlight: Monica Franco

Through mutual friends I’ve come to know Monica and her voice work. The vocal roles I needed filled weren’t the same sort of flavor as what others usually request of her. We had her working remotely for this one, so I’d give my rundown of what these characters are like and then wait for the magic! Monica nailed it on her first attempt.


The Gorgons are confident ladies who follow Greek mythology pretty closely. The Pit People Gorgons are a little confident, a little alluring, and a little mysterious. I think Monica nailed the vibe I was looking for which was potentially one of the most difficult roles on Pit People.

Monica also voiced Pandora, who is Pipistrella’s sibling. Pandora isn’t phased too much by most things, and might fit description of a tomboy overall. She wields a mace, along with her tiny tiara over partially combed hair.
