Book of Legends

The wait is over! I can finally cross "be in a video game" off my life list. Whoo!
For those of you interested, a while ago I did some voice over work for a project called The Book of Legends for a Canadian casual games company called Gogii Games. The project was a lot of fun, working with Paul at Dacapo Productions as well as fellow Winnipeg actor Melanie Dahling.
If you're interested in trying out the game, you can click on the link here to download a free hour-long trial. It's a pretty simple affair, a Hidden Object game (think Where's Waldo or Eye Spy on your computer) but I think the whole project is a pretty decent package. Although apparently my voice acting is annoying, if the user reveiws on Gamezeebo are to be belived.
(One annoying thing- After finishing the game, there are no credits. Obviously I'd like to see my work credited, but it's also a shame for the many other people involved in the creation of the game. Really? No credits at all?)
Wrap Up

So it has been a while since I've posted here, but I have been keeping busy. Billy Bishop was a great success, with two strong reviews from Uptown and The Uniter. For those of you too lazy to click on the links (or if, god forbid, they should stop working) here are some choice quotes:
"...Brent Hirose is pleasingly adaptable, playing 17 different roles in the show, including a sweet Everyman touch as Billy"
"...entertainingly honest and heartfelt..."
"Hirose and pianist Patrick Keenan make a remarkable team on stage."
"...an absolute smash."
"****/*****"
Huge personal kudos out to Patrick for bringing his A game and making this show (his first!) a fantastic peice of theatre. By far the best thing show I've had the pleasure to participate in. And now comes the long cold winter....
Billy Bishop In Rehearsal!

Why is this young man so happy? Quite possibly because Billy Bishop is now officially in rehearsal and going quite well. It looks like we'll get an extra show as well, as the 15th of November looks to be a go. Huzzah!
Also going well is Disconnected, which was performed (well, a small chunk anyway) in front of a very attentive young audience for the final round of workshopping with MTYP. The third draft is currently underway!
Sounds busy? Because it is! So, I guess I should get back to work!
A Look Into The Future?

You'll notice that the handsome young fellow happens to sport something that I (if you examine my header image for example) do not: A mustache! And so, after discussing the possibility with my director, I decided that at the very least I could grow one and see how the dang thing would look in real life. Well...
In all honesty, I'm not as horrified as I could be. That being said, maybe I'm just nuts. I would never discount the possibility!
Another Fringe Bites the Dust!
August 1st, 2008 at 6:39 pm EDT - permalink
Well, another Fringe has come and gone and as usual it was a good one. Identity.com and Paper Jack both won Jenny awards and had fantastic runs, outdoor performances with Funny Box Theatre went over swimmingly and my one show with Bat Boy: The Musical went as well as it had any right going. Yay!
A few highlights this year:
Anyway, it was a fantastic year and here's to the next one!
