Neverwinter Nights 2: Heavy Melody Music Interview

From the official forums: Adam Miller posted a link to Gamer's Info and an interview they conducted recently with Heavy Melody Music, the people in charge of the sounds, voice acting and music for NWN 2.

Here's a portion of the interview:

GamersInfo.net: How many voice actors are contributing to NWN2? Anyone we know from TV, movies or other games?

Heavy Melody Music: We've hired between 50 and 60 actors to play approximately 200 characters - and that's no small task. The great thing about doing this in New York City is that there is a wealth of theatrical talent from the big Broadway productions to choose from. We even auditioned some Tony Award winners. That's very important for a game like NWN2 because those actors are accustomed to the dramatic Shakesperian style deliveries that it calls for. Whereas in LA and other cities, the actors in the talent pool often focus on TV and film and are used to much quicker, snappier deliveries that don't work as well.
