Serious Fun: Aion Voiceover Localization

Zoj — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 12:50:42 +0000

Aion, as an MMO, features numerous nonplayer (NPC) parts to voice. Every character speaks a greeting and a farewell when a player interacts with it. Many characters have additional or extended spoken parts in Aion’s cinematics. What each character says and how it is said has to fit with both the serious, epic fantasy tone of the game and the idiom of the language being voiced. The spoken dialog has to also fit with the timing of the animation in a cinematic (the length of the spoken part–when a character speaks and stops speaking) and a character’s gestures, emphasis, interactions with other characters, and the mouth movements of the character animated. Read on to find out more about what voice localization in Aion is all about.

If you are planning to visit gamescom in Cologne this year, take an extra step, come dressed as a character of any NCsoft game listed on the official NCsoft website and join us on stage. The stage will highlight you in all your magnificent glory to the crowds of fans in front of it and let you enjoy the fruits of the hard work put into the costume’s creation.
