When I originally auditioned for Paimon, I actually had her set closer to my natural tone. Your vocal cords don’t fix themselves 100% once they’re damaged, so once they’re damaged, your vocal register is changed forever. If you’re doing something that’s really hard for you, you could possibly damage your vocal cords. I’m naturally a high-pitched person and so Paimon is just switching into my higher register, that’s all! Basically, you want to get to a point in voice acting where a character’s voice is always easy for you. TSA: Just how difficult is it for you to put on the Paimon voice?īoettger: It’s not that hard for me. Then the beta came out and everybody kept on saying how much they liked when Paimon was sassy, and so they were like ‘Okay, be as sassy as you want.’ They were like, ‘Tone down the sassiness’, and I was like, ‘Oh, but I like that’. I started seeing the reception online and miHoYo did too, and that kind of changed how we did some voiceover at that point, because I specifically remember them thinking that Paimon might be too mean. Luckily, I work with a director who reads the other lines, that way it’s like I’m playing off of somebody, but not every director does that. It also meant I could actually understand what was going on, which is normal for like 90% of video games – you’re alone in a booth, and you only see your lines. Were you following that at the time?īoettger: I was, and I even secretly signed up for the beta under my own gamertag, so I started playing it myself. TSA: There was also some buzz building up in the beta stages too. And then right before the game came out, they had hundreds of thousands of people following them, and I was like, ‘Holy crap, this is going to be bigger than I thought it was going to be!’ At the beginning of 2020, I was looking on their Twitter and I was like, ‘Oh, they have like 6,000 followers, that’s really good. I was honestly surprised, because unless you’re part of a second iteration of anything like that, when you get a part of a game you really don’t know how big it’s going to be until it happens. Boettger: I believe I auditioned the first time back in August 2019, and then I got the callback in September, then booked the role and started working in October of 2019.
