Will Stamper – The Voice of BattleBlock Theater

StamperRecording

Well you’ve read about our fabulous experiences working with Will Stamper, now read Will Stamper’s experiences being fabulous (My words, not his. Don’t want to take away his street cred).

 

We asked him for yet another favor: to write on the subject of working with us at The Behemoth for BattleBlock Theater. He’ll give you his history with Dan Paladin, talk about developing the cinematics, quips & scripts, he’ll give you a few tips if you’re an aspiring voice actor or looking to work with one, and he’s even given us a list of equipment he uses. That’s like giving us the whole secret recipe!!

 

Note: We’ve run the original post through the cleansing machine so it remains family friendly but we think there’s still plenty of Will Stamper flavor in the post! Edited sections have been marked in red.

 

Anyway, we give you: Will Stamper:

 


Hello my precious treats!  It’s me, the narrator of BattleBlock Theater, Will Stamper.

I’ll be gunning for comprehensive here, so grab a coffee or something…this might get a bit long.  That’s what she  ANYWAYS don’t feel obligated to read the whole thing, you won’t hurt my feelings.  Okie dokes, let’s – WAIT – since I’m far too familiar with the flavor of my own foot, I’ll go ahead and drop a safety net over the Behemoth right now and take full responsibility for everything said below this point.  You know, just in case stuff gets weird.  For example, if I were to say: “Don Cheadle touches dude’s butts in his spare time”, it would be MY opinion, not The Behemoth’s.

 

And for the record, it’s unlikely that Don Cheadle touches dude’s butts in his spare time.  However, I’m far beyond speculation on this matter; my research will continue, and I will not stop until I’ve uncovered the truth.

>>Read Will Stamper’s personally written post HERE<<

 

You’ve heard his voice in BattleBlock Theater, heard his songs in Castle Crashers, read about the Whisper Room and now it’s time to learn more about the elusive Will Stamper.

Today, three Behemoth staff who worked closely with Will write about their experiences collaborating with the voice actor when creating story lines and in game quips for BattleBlock Theater. We’re calling these personal stories “Will Stamper n’ Me.”

The man in the Whisper Room

The Whisper Room. Sounds like the perfect title for a horror film, doesn’t it?

Actually, this cubicle-sized room is used for sound recordings. The inner walls of the room have been padded down to help soundproof the booth. Its main function is to keep external noises from affecting the recordings, which will be put into BattleBlock Theater.


      

Why the sudden addition to our video game studio? The Behemoth studio has a visitor this week! You’ve probably heard his voice in our opening cinematic for BattleBlock Theater:

What will we have in store for Will during his trip to San Diego?

“Who knows? I don’t, do you? I don’t, do you? I don’t! Welcome to BattleBlock Theater!” – Will Stamper (Narrator)
