The Prologue for Circuit Breaker. Voiced by Max Stallings
Below you will find PDFs for the prologue, individual lines for each robot and narrator/announcer as well as the biographies for each robot.
This was a very fun process for me as I was able to work with the art team and lead designer closely to get a feel for these robots and find out what makes them tick. It helped us design each robot and give their looks meaning and purpose outside of being awesome to look at. This also lead to a very fun sci-fi story that I got to create to give purpose to the reason these robots are fighting with one another.
I also worked closely with the drama department at ACC where I conducted a casting call for voice actors and provided them with direction so we could bring a distinct voice to each robot that matched their personalities and physical designs. This process was very new to me but these actors were very professional and took direction well while also putting their own personalities into these robots. Having voiced lines written specifically for these robots that tie into a narrative really bring an extra level of depth to Circuit Breaker.
