Video game voice acting scripts

Game dialogue is recorded in pieces: quest lines, reactions, and short combat barks that players hear over and over. These scripts train the stamina, variety, and clarity that game sessions demand.

How to practise video game voice acting scripts

  • Give every bark a different intention so repeated lines don't sound copied.
  • Keep a consistent mic distance even when the line is shouted. Turn your head slightly instead of moving back.
  • Record three takes of each short line: safe, bigger, and a surprise choice.

Every script page includes a teleprompter that scrolls at your chosen words-per-minute pace, with optional recording so you can hear your take straight away.
