Making the Retry Trailer with Pik-Sen Lim (Patreon)

We always knew we wanted to put together a little trailer for Retry.

Here it is if you haven't yet seen it: https://youtu.be/AkCdC0NMA0w 

But one of things this Patreon does is it gives us more time to spend on projects. We can go that little bit further.

So at the end of last year we started looking into the availability of the Dark Souls voice actors. But in truth, there was only ever one name at the top of the list: Pik-Sen Lim. 

She’s the narrator of the opening sequences in both Dark Souls and Dark Souls 3. She has one of the most atmospheric voices you're ever likely to hear. And she’s also a very lovely 76-year-old, British-Chinese-Malaysian lady, who we spent two hours with last week recording a script we put together for the trailer.

Despite trying to explain what this was all about, we’re not really sure she fully understood what it was for, but since she's absolute professional, she gave us a wonderful VO as the basis of our trailer. 

She nailed every line, gave us multiple reads, and even took a picture with us. We couldn’t think of a better or more appropriate person to announce our ‘new’ show to the world.

And thank you if you’re reading this. Being a Patron allows us to go that little bit further and make cool stuff like this.

We can’t wait for you to see the first episode!
