Cruz Rodriguez
The original Octopath Traveler was an instantaneous hit among players and critics alike due to its distinctive visuals and captivating narrative, and now its sequel is creating the same magic with new audiences. One thing that makes Octopath Traveler unforgettable is its memorable characters brought to life by voice actors.
Adopting each character requires extensive research into their background, motivations, and emotional journey. Following that research session, multiple recording sessions allow the actor to experiment with various tones and emotions until he finds one that perfectly suits him. Working closely with developers and directors ensures that performances meet their overall vision for each game.
An emerging voice actor, Cruz Rodriguez has voiced several popular IPs such as Dominic in Spy x Family, Shaun in Shadow House, and Titan in Dr. Stone. Now he takes on Temenos as Temenos from Octopath Traveler 2, playing an influential cleric fighting for justice and truth – and hopes to continue building his career! His dedication is evident in each performance, and we wish Cruz Rodriguez all the best!
Voice acting in video games is integral, yet it can present unique challenges. Recording sessions may take multiple takes to capture emotion accurately in short amounts of time; furthermore, voice actors must stay true to each character while adhering to the story arc; this may prove difficult for those newer to the industry.
