Video Games
When it comes to media production, there is, perhaps, nothing more versatile than the world of video games. Animated characters are not only found on film and television but also in video games. Each game is remarkably unique, telling its own story with visuals and sound. A player's ability to connect with game content on a deep level is of the highest importance. When choosing a professional voice actor for your next project, consider Gina Scarpa, a professional female video game voice actor and 2023 One Voice Awards winner for Best Video Game Performance. She is nominated again this year as well in two gaming categories.
