Voicing a Viking Villain in Norse Oath of Blood - George Weightman
About this episode
Becky Hill interviews voice actor George Weightman about his role as a Viking villain in the game Norse: Oath of Blood.
What does it take to embody a legendary Norse villain? I’m joined by OneVoice 2026 & 2025 award winning voice actor, @georgeweightman1331 to discuss how he transformed into one of Norse: Oath of Blood’s most formidable foes - Steinar Far-Spear. We will be talking about the physicality of performance capture, the psychology of playing the 'bad guy,' and how you bring a Viking warrior to life while covered in sensors instead of armour and instead of wielding a sword, axe or spear, you have to wear a mobile camera braced inches from your face! Let us explore how the Vikings are represented in the newest Viking game from @ArcticHazard @tripwireinteractive . Behind the scenes performance capture photos credit to Max Brown Media.
