The actor and voice of Marvel’s Spider-Man on bringing theatre to games, and the magic of the text adventure.
Yuri Lowenthal is an actor best known for his voice work in videogames. His career has included work in theatre, film and TV, and roles such as the Prince of Persia in The Sands Of Time and Yosuke in Persona 4 – but these days, he’s perhaps best known for voicing the web-slinging star of Marvel’s Spider-Man. Here, Lowenthal discusses a dream role, an industry in flux and his ever-worsening skills with a controller.
What have you seen change in the game industry over the years as an actor?
There’s been an increase in the amount of motion capture that is done with the actors who are also performing the voice roles. That’s been exciting, because I come from a theatre background originally, and it’s sort of like a return to theatre in a way. Normally, when I’m recording for videogames, I record solo. But when we’re working on performance capture, it’s a group event.
So what have you taken from theatre and screen work to your game work?
