8 Most Incredibly Terrible Attempts At Voice Acting In Video Games
2. Emotionally Unstable Sound Guy - Michigan: Report From Hell
Sometimes there are things beyond the realm of mere human comprehension, for example: The Hutchinson Effect, simulacrum in the Eagle Nebula, and the entire creative process of Michigan: Report from Hell. It's completely devoid of logic in both plot and design, though being a Suda 51 game this is to be expected. In a game filled with grotesque monsters, questionable gameplay mechanics, and out of place 'sexy' bits, what really sticks out is downright awful voice acting of the deuteragonist. Whilst you play the game from the perspective of a silent cameraman's camera, support character (Brisco, the sound guy) is off-screen seriously overacting every situation he is in rather poorly too. If overacting were an Olympic sport he'd take all three podium spots whilst Shatner was busy throwing himself into walls. Brisco comes across as less actually being terrified for his life, and more like he is both severely inebriated and suffering from the after-effects of a Vindaloo. In the end I was determined to find out who was responsible for this monstrosity, and thus searched the IMDB belonging to Brisco's voice actor the bleak result of which was probably the reason he sounded so distraught in the first place.
