She Read It For The First Time

We record in a closet.

Not a fancy studio. Not a treated room with foam panels and a mixing board. A closet. With a mic. That's our recording studio. It works. The clothes absorb the sound very well.

Every character in Room 337 is voiced by the real person they're based on. Every kid records differently. Some do it one line at a time. Some need the full picture first. Kaizeana is an actor, so I figured she'd want to read the whole section before we started. And she needed to... she was struggling to do lines without knowing the context. Hard to voice something when you don't know where it's going.

So I sent her this part of the Act 5 script. Just a section. She hasn't seen the rest yet.

Here's the thing about Kaize doing voice work for this game. She's not playing a character. She's playing herself. And that messes with you. She kept trying to act it instead of feel it, because feeling it means going back to a real part of her life. I told her I didn't think this section would need much acting. Because she lived it.

Then she read it. And she started crying.

She said it's so crazy. And she's right. It is. And she doesn't even know what's coming in the rest of Act 5.

This is why I'm making this game with my kids. Moments like this. You can't manufacture them. You just show up and let them happen.

Our trailer drops 3/7 at 3:37 PM MST.
