This week I've been speculating and predicting what we're going to get in the upcoming Xbox Series X Showcase and I've been playing Whispers of a Machine, an excellent point and click adventure game. I was also very lucky to sit down with the lead voice-over artist in the game, Ivy Dupler and we got stuck into the process for VO in videos games, it's a great conversation so look forward to that later in the episode.
