What if Keen had voices.....

Post by ComissionerDeWitt »

Have you guys ever pondered what it would be like if Keen games had voice acting?

Me personally I wonder if that was the case, then who would be the character's voice actors? I'm curious to hear what Lt. Barker would sound like :p

Naturally Commander Keen would sound like a kid, but I hate the current trend of making kids voices really squeaky. I would hope they'd go the "Peanuts" route and make him sound half-way mature.

A good example of this trend is how Tails had a more assertive voice in Sonic Adventure 1, but by Heroes they quickly went down the "stuffed nose" route which he's never recovered from.

I'd say "half way mature" is a good way to describe Keen in general. I mean, he's traveling​ the universe fixing things - little kids play with that idea, Keen has done it. Even if the games are a fantasy, Billy might well imagine himself to have a more mature voice.

What about Lt. Barker and Keen's other friends?

Ach now you guys are making me want to do a Keen voice. If I can find where I put my mic, would anyone be interested?

Please don't double post like that. People here are based in different countries and have different schedules, so there's no point asking again after only a few hours. I appreciate your excitement and that you're double posting playfully (I was the same when I first joined), but it's not best practice.
