![]() ![]() And then it’s just been a series of trying to continue to do that over the last 15 years. I had to show up to the meeting I had never done it before so I didn’t know if I was going to be good at it, I just thought, “Oh.” You boast about yourself, and you say, “I can absolutely do this!” and someone goes, “Oh, okay, here,” and they hand you a ball and go, “Okay, now throw it over the plate.” So at some point, it came to me that just because someone gives you an opportunity, you still have to be able to do something with it. So, I still had to be willing to be brave. Their guy that had done all of their spots for the last 20 years had a heart attack and died, so they were in a hard way, and I kinda helped them out. We were doing our album at this studio that also happened to be doing car adverts, so I just popped my head in the door of this one studio while they were cutting drums, and they immediately kicked me out, but then two weeks later asked if I still wanted to, you know, give it a shot because they needed somebody. I thought at first I was going to be in music, so I was in a band. Troy Baker: Sure, I mean, when I was in my twenties, all I cared about doing was finding a way to be creative and, even more importantly, finding a way to make money out of it. I know you were involved in music for a while, so could you talk about where your career started, where you wanted to go and how you got to where you are now? Tyler Leighton: Could you start off telling us how you got into voice acting, because I know it was a long road for you to end up in the position you are now. He also talks about his new game “Middle-earth: Shadow of War and what it was like being the Director of Performance Capture as well as the game’s lead character. But it wasn’t always this way for Baker, he spoke with the Penmen Press about his career, how it’s developed and how he’s still finding ways to improve his craft everyday. With over 300 individual voice credits to his name Baker has been a prolific figure in the voice acting industry with lead roles in The Last of Us, Bioshock Infinite, Uncharted 4 and Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. If you’ve picked up a video game in the last fifteen years it’s likely that, somewhere along the way, you’ve heard Troy Baker’s voice. ![]()
