Beowulf video: Recording session with actor Ray Winstone

Ray Winstone will be lending his theatrical talents to the character of Beowulf, both for the upcoming Paramount film, and for his computer-generated form on the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, Windows PC, and Xbox 360. Voicing a video game character’s a relatively new experience for him apparently, as he revealed in a video showing a routine recording session. You can view the video in the full article.

As you guys will recall, Ubisoft‘s aiming to close the gap between the Beowulf movie and games (Sony PlayStation 3, PSP, Windows PC, Microsoft Xbox 360) by bringing the film cast over to voice their pixelized alter-egos. This is going to be quite a new experience for some of the actors, including film veteran Ray Winstone (Cold Mountain, King Arthur).

This video we’ve picked up demonstrates a typical recording session Winstone does for the Beowulf games. It also provides some of Winstone’s insights into the character of Beowulf, and how being a lost soul brings out his inner animal. The rest of the video awaits. Enjoy the viewing.
