Michael Csurics

Voice Director Founder/CEO Public Speaker

Michael has often referred to dialogue as one of the only “real” assets in a game; a naturally occurring bridge between the real and the digitally generated worlds. This organic connection point creates a powerful bond between the player and game.

 

With over 20 years of experience as a voice director and dialogue lead specializing exclusively in video games, Michael’s focus on strengthening that bridge between the audience and the creative vision of the development team has led to some of the most incredibly connected performances in games.
