Ghostwire: Tokyo is Tango Gameworks’ upcoming role-playing game set in Tokyo overrun by supernatural entities. This marks Cory Yee’s biggest role in voice acting yet, as he plays the main protagonist, Akito. For Yee, it started off like any other job.
Those who were in charge of the casting sent out the “sides”, which are pages or selections from the script that actors are provided to learn for an audition. Yee then gave his own read of the sides and submitted them. When he auditioned for Ghostwire: Tokyo, he didn’t realize how important of a role he would eventually end up getting.
“But at the same time, I try to take every project seriously,” he tells GLHF. “It’s like ‘oh my god, that’s super exciting!’ For me, this was probably one of the biggest long-term projects last year.”
