Sam Lake Reveals The Shocking Reason Behind 2 Alan Wake Actors!

[@AdamSoucyDrums]

It’s such a fascinating back and forth between Matthew and Ilkka! The final product is such a unique performance and one that couldn’t have been done any other way

[@BehindTheVoicePod]

I do agree because the way its been done is unique and we get a special performance

[@abstraktfilms]

Damn. Thought Lake was just really good at changing his voice for the Casey dialogue. They nailed syncing everything

[@BehindTheVoicePod]

Hahaha no, Casey was voiced by James McCaffrey who also voiced Max Payne in the Max Payne games

[@abstraktfilms]

@@BehindTheVoicePod ohhhh I can hear it now. Nice. They killed it

[@randomt800kiddo2]

the dubbing is really good, i didn't know alan's face model wasn't the voice actor till way later on

[@jonathanbell2912]

I love Sam Lake - massive shout out to him for doing an almost two hour interview for a smaller KZbin creator, that speaks volumes imo! Great interview Behind the Voice! looking forward to more content!!

[@BehindTheVoicePod]

Thank you very much

[@GPChannelTM]

0:49 THE face 😂

[@BehindTheVoicePod]

Oh yes!

[@Robert-qq9em]

These Sam Wake clips are the gift that keeps giving. Great interview overall!

[@BehindTheVoicePod]

Thank you very much for watching this

[@bettercallytp]

Hearing Sam talking about the voice acting and the performance of the actor doing the motion capture make me want to play the game again. Because of how much time has spent making this masterpiece.

[@BehindTheVoicePod]

Do it!

[@augustopaixao8911]

I fall in love with the Remedy games universe. Sam lake and all the amazing people that worked at those wonderful games really catch my heart.

[@BehindTheVoicePod]

Absolutely!

[@Arkatox]

It reminds me of when the Zelda team started working with a younger team for Breath of the Wild. The younger devs would ask questions like, "Well, why _can't_ we add a jump button?" Eiji Aonuma was taken aback because that hadn't even occurred to him. It's just how 3D Zelda games always were. Link can't jump, right?

[@BehindTheVoicePod]

Exactly! That's just how it was then

[@bbenjoe]

By the way: fans made a mod for Max Payne 3 to make him look like Sam Lake once more.

[@BehindTheVoicePod]

Yeaa I've seen that

[@isisnoreija]

I really didn’t like Max Payne 3… you could instantly recognize that it wasn’t the original team and it felt off

[@bbenjoe]

@@isisnoreija I too had raised my eyebrow at first, but I came to like it the way it is. The devs knew they had to shake things a bit up to make a successful third installment. The same recipe wouldn't have worked for sure. Obivously Remedy would've known that too, and perhaps they'd picked a different course.

[@isisnoreija]

@@bbenjoe if another iteration of something wouldn’t work I prefer that series or whatever to end instead of trying to ride a dead horse and sometimes changing things that shouldn’t have been changed just to try something new and keep that series alive… But there is stuff out there where it totally worked to shake things up a bit (god of war for example! I wasn’t thrilled when I heard that Kratos would have his son with him in the reboot but the new games were fantastic!)

[@isisnoreija]

This whole process with the two actors is crazy but so worth it! But I am also happy for Ilka that he gets to voice Tom so this character is his own ☺️

[@BehindTheVoicePod]

Yaa me too. The fact that the gets to play this new version of Tom Zane in such a fun way, is awesome!

[@isisnoreija]

I almost didn’t recognize him, he plays Zane so differently from Wake 🤯

[@BehindTheVoicePod]

Yaa and that was the plan. They can't be the same characters

[@kyleshaw5186]

And Matt got to have his own full character as well as Dr. Casper Darling. Such fantastic talents on their own and in collaboration!

[@isisnoreija]

@@kyleshaw5186 absolutely!

[@FirstnameLastname-my7bz]

This looks like Sam is in that mystery dimension talking with you😅

[@BehindTheVoicePod]

He's in the dark place

[@SwirlyJoe]

That Samm Lake looks exactly the same 20+ years later 😂

[@BehindTheVoicePod]

Lol he really does

[@rkshn]

i kinda hope theres a feature to change the max payne skins in the uncoming remakes. it would make ALL the fans happy.

[@BehindTheVoicePod]

Max Payne skins? What do you mean?

[@timegear6322]

Probably wants a sam lake face​@@BehindTheVoicePod

[@TheTyroofToriyama]

Self-inserting is underrated. I do it with some people I know and parts of myself but change it a bit. If people wouldn't likeme then they won't like the writing anyway. I have tons of more crazy anime characters but this helps almost get that Triple A feel with the likeness of people who are really detailed

[@RazKob33]

Rockstar didn’t understand what Remedy wanted to make with Max Payne

[@BehindTheVoicePod]

Rockstar had their own plans with it

[@knowpai9432]

Bro how you get the chance to interview these big industry PPL with such a small channel? 🤯

[@BehindTheVoicePod]

@@knowpai9432 I reach out

[@jsjp678]

Im from Finland, was the right side guy drunk during interview? :D

[@BehindTheVoicePod]

@@jsjp678 what! No he was not

[@avery366]

Promo SM

[@blakegriplingph]

Sam Lake's rally English will never not be funny.

[@BehindTheVoicePod]

Why is it funny?

[@k1tlerwaffen]

why they race swapped the already existing white girl to black girl lol? sweet baby inc effect ...

[@EthanRom]

Cause they wanted to make her the daughter of Martin Hatch from Quantum Break, who is black

[@planktonsoares9007]

Talked talked and said nothing 😂

[@BehindTheVoicePod]

I don't know what you heard but he literally explains why they did that

[@RealRedDM]

He literally answered the question right away.

​@@BehindTheVoicePod Ignore this hater

[@Arkatox]

This is a really weird comment.

[@FearNot777]

Pity alan wake 2 sucked

[@thespark4727]

what sucked about it? the story? gameplay?

[@FearNot777]

@@thespark4727 The review below sums it up beautifully. I loved first alan wake, it's 2 dlc's, heck even like American nightmare kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGWYYnqlZsSXlbcsi=0Q07SPuyNKluh8yE

[@SloppyToffee]

Disagree but you do you

[@FearNot777]

@SloppyToffee well, not just me, but majority has spoken. Game failed to make its money back.

[@SloppyToffee]

@@FearNot777 it still sold 1.3 million copies (which isn’t something to sneeze at) and one reason that honestly could be is because the game released like 10+ years after the first game a whole new generation of kids weren’t even alive when the first game came out that are old enough to play this now. Alan wake 2 was more IMO meant for die hard fans of Remedy and their games. The game still had great reviews, cool story and cinematography etc. Is it perfect? No but it definitely didn’t suck you personally just think it sucks, and that’s OK! I don’t like Fortnite or COD anymore but they sell well! I think they suck, but a lot of people disagree with me. Also single player games are hit and miss these days. It makes me sad because I personally would rather play a cinematic masterpiece over getting called every slur in the dictionary by a 9 year old, and having a loot box shoved in my face every 10 seconds. But live service games make more money 🤷🏽‍♀️ it’s just the sad truth of the matter
