*UPDATE*SEGA Nerdcast w/ Lisle Wilkerson, Corey Marshall...

[Axm]

Hey guys, I just wanted to give you all a heads up (and perhaps a front page worthy post) of another podcast we're doing This Friday July 3rd at 9 pm. CT (7 pm PST). We will have a very special SEGA Nerdcast featuring Corey Marshall (Ryo Hazuki), Eric Kelso (Ren, Fuku-san, Guizhang), and Lisle Wilkerson (Xiuying, Joy, Yuan)!

Lisle also helped us get into contact with Paul Lucas, who has voiced Lan Di and Chai. Hope to see you guys there!


Just like last time, if you have any questions you'd like to ask any one of them, or a group question or whatnot, post them below and we'll try to ask them on the show!

Did Eric find more entertaining to play Ren or Guizang and wich one was more difficult to play.

Also for all of them (kinda a difficult question to answer):
- Shenmue voice acting felt stale:
How can direction make it feel more organic, and how writing could change it ?

Perfect timing eh? Looking forward to it.

[Snakiest]

I had no idea those people voiced so many important characters. Good way to save money I guess.

In Yu we trust.

[James Brown]

I'd like to know if they've all actually played through both games completely themselves, and what their favorite parts were (if they can remember) - and if now hearing certain parts in the game where their characters interact with each other bring back nostalgic memories of them all working together?

Also are any of their friends or families Shenmue fans because of their work in the game?

[Henry Spencer]

Ask them if they know whatever happened to the guy who did the voice for Chai, Sam and Lan Di (was it Paul Lucas?). That dude was talented. Not that they weren't, I personally think Kelso's voices for Fuku-san and Guizhang fit the characters well, but you know, still can't get my head around that the guy who did "KEEEEEG HYA HYA HYA, LAN DI-SAMA WILL BE PLEASED" also did "Get up, I will allow you to die like a warrior". You would never be able to tell that it was the same voice actor, at all.

[ConanTheKing]

Because their characters had so many lines, they would have spent quite a bit working as these characters and possibly have gotten somewhat attached to them. As time went on and no sequel came about, I'm curious if in their mind they imagined an ending for their characters and what was that ending, how did they imagine their character turning out once their story is over?

It's something I wonder because in an interview with the creator of the Sopranos, he mentioned how he imagined the kids, Anthony and Meadow, ended up several years later after the series ended and it's like an unofficial epilogue in a way.

This! Have we ever even had an interview or heard anything from this guy?

[Yokosuka Martian]

That's actually a good question! I'll be sure to ask it!

[James Brown]

So now that Corey Marshall is officially voicing Ryo Hazuki, I now have an actual Shenmue 3 employee on the podcast!

Got to ask him how he was contacted now, and if they provided any details as to how his voice work will go down...dates, times, locations ?
