Dakota Richards, Freddie Highmore lend voices to The Golden Compass

Dakota Richards - Image 1Young talents Dakota Blue Richards and Freddie Highmore will grace the upcoming multi-platform video game The Golden Compass by sharing their voices to breathe life into the game’s main characters. Richards plays as protagonist Lyra and Highmore assumes the role of Pentalaimon, Lyra’s Daemon.

This is Dakota’s first major voice-over acting job, while Freddie has prior experience in similar roles before. “I do find it quite difficult, but I also find it fun,” comments the young star as she compares the challenge to acting in front of the green screen for the film tie-in.

On the other hand, Freddie says “I have performed voice over work in the past,” and shares “to convey the essence of a character you’ve got to believe in it and I think you have to get into the character, because if you don’t believe in it no one else will.”

The Golden Compass from Sega and Shiny Entertainment is a game based on the upcoming film of the same name which tells the story of a girl named Lyra who sets out on a quest to rescue her kidnapped friend. Along the way, she must use her wits to elude enemies and get past obstacles. She must also befriend strange creatures who can help her in her cause.

Just about every gamer will have a chance to join Lyra in her journey when it becomes available on the PC, Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii, Sony PlayStation Portable, and Nintendo DS.
