I voice for Ms. Fortune in Skullgirls!

Posted by Hnilmik - November 11th, 2011

I CAN FINALLY SAY IT, AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~

This is gonna be a long post 'cause I'll be sharing tons of stuff that piled up over the weeks...

What is Skullgirls?! - http://skullgirls.com/
Who is Ms. Fortune?! - http://skullgirls.com/characters/ms-fo rtune/

Some behind the scenes stuff on voice acting for Skullgirls! - http://skullgirls.com/2011/06/on-voice -acting/

For the lazy yet still curious folks: I auditioned from my home in southern California, they liked what I got (I was choking on stuff all day out of surprise when I was told that I was cast), and I drove out to record the real thing in the studio, where I got directed to scream, attack, and meow all over the place. Meowing was of course our favorite parts of the session and I hope to record more for her soon!

If you've read some of my older blog posts, you'll know VERY well how much of a fan I am of Alex Ahad's work (long before Skullgirls got under the gaming radar), so I'm REALLY happy to finally work with him on something! I'm also happy to be in a game of this much awesome-ness with my voice acting friends in the cast, with more to come!

WAIT WAIT WAIT WHAT ABOUT THE ANIMATED CHILDREN'S TELEVISION SHOW YOU VOICED IN!?

Oh yeah, I provided additional voices for the first episode of the Secret Millionaires Club mini-series that aired on The Hub (in October)! You can baarreeellyy hear me say "MAGNIFICENT!" near the end of the fashion show scene~

Funny story: I found out on accident that it was going to air on TV while watching My Little Pony~

What else piled up?

Awesome stuff on Newgrounds like:
Jack's Halloween Treats - I voice for Chloe and all of the little kids in this~ I hope it places in the Halloween flash competition 'cause it's VERY cool!

Resident Evil Code: Pwanchi Part 2 - I voice for Ingrid Hunnigan~ Small part, but I always want to work on something Pwanchi because of the fun writing!

And, I helped a friend of mine, Jinberry, with her Sound Construction project for her Masters degree by voicing the mermaid in this adaptation of Emily Carroll's eerie comic, The Prince & The Sea!

Voicing with me are my friends Omahdon as the Narrator and Apatheria as the Prince! Be sure to watch this in glorious, HD FULLSCREEN! It better emulates the experience Emily Carroll was going for with her comic!

No, seriously, watch it in fullscreen. GOGOGOGOGO!!

WAIT, THERE'S MORE STUFF!? WELL, YEAH!!

Hear me once again as Chi-Chi in TeamFourStar's DBZ Abridged in the Lord Slug movie that premiered at Youmacon!

I think I got everything--NOEP.

I voice for Lyaazor in this Artists At The Ready 2 flash entry for round 3 by the talented PhiTuS! It's unfinished, but hey, for OCT's (which I've ALWAYS wanted to voice in), better something than nothing! Also in the cast is Omahdon once again! Seriously, I'd watch it JUST for him I've never seen kooky and suave pulled off simultaneously before jkdhskghjkl

I can't wait for it too!

Vert 2011-11-11 20:26:23

Wow!

That's amazing!

Seriously, I've been following Skullgirls for a while now and the productions values are absolutely fantastic, so getting to voice a character for a game like this is massive accomplishment.

MAJOR kudos and MAJOR congratulations!

Hnilmik 2011-11-11 20:26:23

LET THIS BE THE BEGINNING OF EVEN MORE GREAT THINGS!!

Skullgirls has several Newgrounders confirming since two days ago Rtil is working as animator.

Hnilmik 2011-11-11 20:27:40

It's pretty AMAZING!! I'm VERY happy to be working with other skilled and talented folks I've admired for their works online, ESPECIALLY from Newgrounds 'cause I pretty much "grew up" here~!

TwinShoryuken 2011-11-11 21:06:58

OMFG. Huge props to you! Skullgirls is amazing, you're amazing, this is just too awesome! Also, ponies. :D

Everyone's campin' for Le Duc, Big Band, and Panzerfaust, just to name a few dudes~

MetallixTheKnight 2011-11-11 21:32:02

I was wondering who did the voice. You did an awesome job and you're the reason I'm using Ms. Fortune once the game comes out. Awesome job. ^__^

Hnilmik 2011-11-11 21:32:02

Awwww, thanks~! <3

tachu94 2011-11-11 21:55:12

the game looks preety cool, i hope that it is free

Hnilmik 2011-11-11 21:55:12 (Updated 2011-11-11 22:38:27)

For an independent studio aiming to go big with a game being distributed by Konami, they're spending quite a sum of money on marketing and promoting the game and other production costs... So, I don't think it'll be free.

They gotta make back the money somehow, but compared to most games, it should be fairly affordable! Especially once you consider how much most downloadable games are worth!

Current plans are for XBLA and PSN, Steam looks possible after that~

kmau 2011-11-11 22:34:16

'Gratulation!
Now I'm pretty sure every last newgrounder is somehow involved with this game..

Hnilmik 2011-11-11 22:34:16

Especially the ones keeping their eyes open~

http://revergelabs.com/2011/05/wa nt-to-work-on-skullgirls/

They seem full right now, but camp enough and the opportunity might open up again someday to get in on the action!

Shock-Dingo 2011-11-11 23:21:02

Zounds, you've been keeping busy! First of all, massive congrats on Skullgirls, that thing is gonna be a smash. Here's hoping for bigger and greater things for all of you!

Also, nice job with the Lord Slug episode, you all were a lot of fun as always.

Keep up all the good stuff, just don't burn yourself out heh.

Hnilmik 2011-11-12 04:36:25

I really do hope this can lead to other great stuff in the future.

Yaaaayy~ And thanks! I really hope so too!

Why is it that the hair chick in the second video has Shuma Gorath's moveset? I dunno about newer games, but waaaay back in the day (Marvel Super Heroes), that was exactly what all of Shuma Gorath's moves looked like.

Hnilmik 2011-11-12 09:54:46

Filia's hair does all kinds of wacky things, doesn't it? Since Skullgirls pays homage to a lot of fighting games, you'll not only hear a lot of references (like some of Ms. Fortune's pun-derful attacks) but also see them! One of Parasoul's specials looks an awwwwfful lot like a special B.B. Hood would do, for instance~

JohnnyUtah 2011-11-12 09:56:19

congrats

Hnilmik 2011-11-12 09:56:19

Thaaaankkksss! ::hugushibushu's~::

Hacsev 2011-11-12 10:18:37

It's basically a girls version of Street Fighter

Hnilmik 2011-11-12 10:18:37

Funnily enough, I believe Skullgirls drew a lot of inspiration from a bunch of fighting games, especially Marvel versus Capcom 2, but intends to fix a lot of their mistakes to make this fun to play for both casuals and competitors.

What I like about the character designs is that their looks generally reflect their fighting game archetypes, further driving home the variety between characters, as opposed to girls with the same ol' silhouettes across the board.

You look at Cerebella and you see big, grabby arms--Grappler.
Look at Ms. Fortune and she looks like a nimble, tricky sort who plays hard--Rush down, maybe mix-up, holy crap, her head comes off and she's a pet/shadow character.

I believe for most other fighting games, the girls always seem to just look like swimsuit models, in terms of body types.

ShatteredBlade 2011-11-12 13:06:37

that game looks like a nerdgasm! so much want!

Hnilmik 2011-11-12 13:06:37

XD There're TONS of references visually alone and wait 'til you hear them from the characters themselves!
