Michael Csurics

Voice Director Founder/CEO Public Speaker

Michael has often referred to dialogue as one of the only “real” assets in a game; a naturally occurring bridge between the real and the digitally generated worlds. This organic connection point creates a powerful bond between the player and game.

With over 20 years of experience as a voice director and dialogue lead specializing exclusively in video games, Michael’s focus on strengthening that bridge between the audience and the creative vision of the development team has led to some of the most incredibly connected performances in games.

What I do:

Voice Direction

The cornerstone of Michael's technique is his ability to quickly identify what an actor needs and to get it to them succinctly.

Casting

Finding the right actor for each role is crucial. Michael firmly believes in meritocracy and holds auditions for every role.

Audio

Michael often jokes that he may be the last audio professional to have been taught how to cut 2" tape with a razor.

Business Development

Building a successful B2B company takes vision, tenacity, and chutzpah to execute, all qualities Michael naturally posesses.
