![]() Like I mentioned earlier, Diablo III has the most recorded dialogue of any Blizzard game yet, and I spent a great deal of time working to make all the incidental dialogue great. But you have to remember that Diablo III is a new game, and we had to update the sound design to reflect that.Īndrea: The same goes for voicework we brought back the same voice actor for Deckard Cain, but we also brought in a bunch of great new talent to voice all the different player characters. We made a brand-new sound effect for gold dropping, but we kept the sound effect that plays when you drain a health well because we thought it was important to let returning players hear some of those classic sounds. We kept the “fwip-fwip-fwip” sound when items drop onto the ground, for example I didn’t make that one, I think it was made by either Matt Uelmen or Scott Peterson. Joseph: We wanted to include some of the old sounds for dedicated fans, but only five or six of the really inconic sounds from Diablo II were used the rest is brand-new stuff. Joseph Lawrence, Supervisor of Sound Design for Diablo III That way, when you’re out killing monsters for hours you (hopefully) won’t get sick of it. Today we can create many layers of audio that randomize atop one another, so we can have 10-15 different sounds playing randomly over one another and thus the game never really repeats itself much. In the old days you only had enough memory to store a few sounds for every action (attack sounds, death sounds, etc.). Sound design in Diablo III is different from previous games I’ve worked on because there’s so much more we can do with current technology. One thing led to another, and I became supervisor of sound design for Diablo III. ![]() I landed a contracting job on Diablo II working under Matt Uelmen, and was later hired on Blizzard. Joseph Lawrence, Supervisor of Sound Design for Diablo III: As for me, I tried just about every audio career over the years, including games and independent films. ![]() Andrea Toyias, Casting & VO Director for Diablo III
