After a day of talking to myself in a dark room for hours … An evening of calm purring from these two, soothes the soul…

A silver tabby Maine Coon kitten with browny green eyes, sitting upright staring towards foreground left. Front left paw slightly in front of the right. Long fluffy tail in the background top left.

A smokey white Ragdoll kitten that is sitting looking very round and fluffy on a chair. She is facing foreground right but looking top foreground right. Her tails is darker than the rest of her and tucked around her hind right leg. She has bright blue eyes.

Happy Monday all!

Today I was at Fitzrovia Studios in Camden for what might well be the last #voiceacting session on an exciting #gamedev project! Can’t wait to shout about this!

Thanks to those damn good agents! @damngoodvoices.bsky.social 🥂🤩

The name ‘Fitzrovia Studios’ in cursive writing as a pink neon light sign, across the top of image. Glasses and a glass water bottle bottom left. The ornate bust (head and shoulder sculpture, potty mind) of a woman, in the right of shot. There is dried paint running down the sculpture which is also adorned with oversized pink plastic shades and a lime green fedora! And not a Scott Joseph to be seen … he’s treating us with his absence!

#Voiceacting session for a new #gamedev project this morning with the wonderful folks @pitstop-audio.bsky.social 🙏🏻 … the image is only overly dramatic cos I found all the filters … and cos, why not!?!

@damngoodvoices.bsky.social you are as your name suggests! 😎🙏🏻

#VO #gaming #voiceover

A close up of voice actor Scott Joseph from the nose up, off centre left looking right and raising his dark eyebrows slightly. His dark hair is sweated into a side parting. Above his head is a sign and an arrow pointing right. In black lettering the sign reads PitStop Productions. The image has been heavily filtered blurring the edges, slight sepia tinted, grainy and scratch marks across the surface giving it an overly dramatic effect … clearly Scott has only just discovered these filters in a photo app he uses. Let’s just humour him and hope it’s a passing phase.

#BaldursGate3 #baldursgate3fanart #Mindflayer #illithid

A front on portrait of the Mindflayer character from the RPG game Baldur’s Gate 3 by Tanyor Anor. Predominantly in monotone black and white, this squid head creature wears magnificent intricate spiked amour and has four long tentacles forming the lower part of his face. His hands which are four fingered and have pointed black nails are above and below an artifact that’s glowing orange and suspended in air at his midriff. A stunning orange halo radiates above his head.

I've been asked about doing another live stream. It's been a while so date TBA. To promote the awesome artwork in my #streamily shop, the wonderful @shade-of-stars.bsky.social is offering these pieces for me to sign, as I play #TheEmperor in #baldursgate3.

Which is your favourite?

#bg3 #fanart

An Illithid from the RPG game Baldur’s Gate 3 painted by artist Shade of Stars, entitled 'Emperor Throne'. The humanoid figure's face, though partly obscured under a long dark hood, is elongated and loosely resembles a squid (in that the lower part of the face comprises of four long tentacles that trail down into his lap and over his left hand that is resting on the arm of large wooden throne with intricate swirling carvings in it. The Illithid is sitting on the throne, left leg casually crossed over right , and he is looking at us with piercing purple eyes that almost glow. He is raising a golden goblet in his left hand. Both of his hands have three long fingers and a thumb, the nails of which are long, dark and finish in claw like points. The clothing on the Illithid is dark browny green suede or leather, with fine gold patterning, possibly embroidered on the top half. The Throne is up against a large grey stone wall that's in the background left.

This is a painting entitled 'Emperor with Us' by the artist 'Shade of Stars'. Two humanoid figures that are Illithids from the RPG game Baldur's Gate 3. Illithids have two arms and two legs but their skin tends to be a pale pinky grey, their heads are elongated with a slight rounded point at top back. On either side of the head, where ear would be, they have an exposed pink fleshy membrane. They have prominent brows and their eyes are piercing and tend to almost glow. The lower part of their face is dominated by four long prehensile tentacles making their head resemble a squid. They have three fingers and a thumb on each had and the nails are long, dark and drawn into a claw like point.

The male Illithid, The Emperor, in the picture is sitting on an ornately carved wooden throne with regal red crushed velvet cushioning.
He is wearing impressive spiky armour that's bloody red with grey ridges and fans out behind their head and shoulders. In his lap he is cradling a creature known as an Intellect Devourer, a brain shaped creature with narrow tentacles protruding from it, a line of spikes down its 'back' and it has four stumpy legs and clawed feet.

Standing to The Emperor's left is a female illithid, who is leaning against the throne and affectionately has one of her tentacles draped over part of The Emperor's armour. She is reaching towards the Intellect Devourer.

Behind the throne is a curtain drawn to the left. It's dark green purple and has intricate patterning on it. The curtain in part covers a grey stone wall that dominates the background in the right of the picture.

This is a painting entitled 'Tav and The Emperor' by the artist 'Shade of Stars'. Two humanoid figures dominate the scene. Tav, the one on the left ,is an ashen-skinned person with pointed ears and long blond hair that flows past their broad shoulders. They are wearing a blue short sleeved 'v' necked top that buttons up, under which is a white long-sleeved top. Their trousers are dark.

The figure on the right, The Emperor, is an Illithid from the RPG game Baldur's Gate 3. Illithids have two arms and two legs but their skin tends to be a pale pinky grey, their heads are elongated with a slight rounded point at top back. On either side of the head, where ear would be, they have an exposed pink fleshy membrane. They have prominent brows and their eyes are piercing and tend to almost glow. The lower part of their face is dominated by four long prehensile tentacles making their head resemble a squid. They have three fingers and a thumb on each had and the nails are long, dark and drawn into a claw like point. He is wearing impressive spiky armour that's blood-red with grey ridges and fans out behind his head and shoulders. The Emperor's torso is considerably broader in comparison to Tav and even though they are sitting he is much taller.

The pair are sitting on a simple wooden bench holding hands. The Emperor is also caressing the face of Tav with two of his long tentacles. To the left of the bench, protruding from the stoney ground are columns of translucent crystals.

In the background is a starry sky with low cloud on the horizon. The sky warmed slightly by what could be a sunset in the left of the picture. However, directly in front of this golden light is a transparent sphere, much like a large bubble, in which a humanoid figure is suspended and held captive by pinks bolts of electrical energy that bind the figure's wrists. The bubble is in the gaping mouth of a skull that has rows of pointed teeth.

1 man, 1 mission (well 2 game projects VO sessions, so less a mission, more tasks or jobs?!) ON a mission at Side Global. Some said it couldn’t be done (no one said that) but that’s not in Scott’s vocabulary (what?!)

Thanks to the amazing @damngoodvoices.bsky.social 😎

#gamedev #voiceacting

Voice Actor, Scott Joseph looking overly rugged (clearly, he’s discovered the ‘drama’ filter on his photo app 🙄), his face hardened and stubbly as he stands in the right of a close up photo, half his face out of shot, facing the camera but looking left to the pink back-lit sign for the recording studio ‘Side Global’ The sign is on the wall above the main reception desk. Scott’s wearing a blue baseball cap (clearly a bad hair day then) and has on his dark framed glasses.

Brilliant series, wonderful acting and superb animation!

A real battle to make it to my first #VOSession at Molinare studios, SoHo this morning. Travel nightmare but then got to do some #voiceacting with this awesome trio, under the superb direction of @adrianaudio.bsky.social

Thanks also to @damngoodvoices.bsky.social 🤩

#gamedev #gamedevelopment

Voice actor Scott Joseph, almost looking like he’s photobombing his own photo. He is in close up popping into the picture from the bottom right and sporting a big friendly smile. On his head rather squashing his side swept salt and pepper hair, he’s wearing a pair of over-the-ear headphones with a microphone setup attached at the top. Scott is in a dimly lit voice recording booth with audio treatment on the walls and behind him is the main studio beyond an acoustic window. In the studio are three smiling faces and from left to right, they are runner Molly Tooman, director Adrian Townsend and sound engineer Polina (apologies I do not know Polina’s surname).

I don’t know what to say. I have been touched by this game’s community. It’s all been so unexpected and something I treasure. 😊🙏🏻

Two years ago @larianstudios.com gave me the privilege of playing #theemperor in #BaldursGate3 and it really has been the gift that keeps on giving. What a game! What an adventure!! What an awesome community … you are all exquisite! 🦑🧠🙏🏻

Larian Studios @larianstudios.com · Aug 4

We've seen you embrace characters, rewrite the rules, and make the world your own for two years, and we’re still in awe of your support.

To celebrate, we’re sharing the rare achievements and the even rarer choices that you’ve been making!

Community Update #35: larian.club/CU35

Turns out, we’re missing a few bards, and not just that one. Only 1.82% of all players managed to earn 100 gold from playing music. PlayStation players are more musically inclined (or Platinum-motivated), with 2.26% of all PlayStation players having earned this achievement!

2.07% of players wobbled their way to victory, defeating twenty opponents while drunk. PlayStation players were the ones most often drinking from the bottle, closely followed by Steam players.

3.87% of players managed to defeat Gortash in Wyrm’s Rock without activating any traps. Steam players had the fanciest footwork, with 4.37% successfully avoiding triggering traps.

2.30% of players managed to multiclass their way through every class in a single playthrough without asking dear old Withers for a helping hand.

1.1M players have completed Baldur’s Gate 3 in Tactician Mode.

Back in the booth this afternoon, #voiceacting for an ongoing game project with the excellent folk at Molinare … a corking session rocking the headgear!

All the thanks to @damngoodvoices.bsky.social 🙏🏻

#gamedev #gamedevelopment #voiceover

Head and shoulders shot of voice actor Scott Joseph in the centre of the photo facing foreground left. He is wearing, you got it, his white t-shirt purple hoodie combo! Seriously, he doesn’t plan it this way. Also he has on his dark framed glasses. His expression is a warm half smile trying to convince that he can actually pull off the look of this headgear (he can’t but let’s not go there). Regarding the headgear - it’s a pair of over-the-ear headphones with a microphone setup attached at the top. Scott is in a dimly lit voice recording booth with audio treatment on the walls and behind him is the main studio beyond an acoustic window.

And for my first trick before a great morning #voiceacting session for an exciting game project Molinare Soho, I shall make this delicious coffee float!

..impressive huh?!? … Guys! … Guys?

#gamedev #gamedevelopment #CoffeeLover
Thanks as always to @damngoodvoices.bsky.social

A photo of a cup and saucer of steaming coffee. The saucer is glazed green and brown around the rim. The cup is cream coloured and brown around the rim.

The cup and saucer sit on a glass coffee table giving the impression they are floating … although there is a slight reflection which I tried to remove cos it kinda ruins the trick but you get the idea.

In the background is a stylish curving grey blue reception desk fringed with white. On the wall behind it in lights are the words ‘MOLINARE Established 1973’
