SUPERVIVE Hunter Voiceover
As Narrative Lead on SUPERVIVE, I led all voiceover (VO) and narrative design efforts across a colorful roster of 20+ playable characters. Some of the 8,000+ lines of VO I wrote, helped direct, and implemented in Unreal Engine can be heard in the launch trailer below. I’ll also include some script excerpts below that.
Bishop
Armed with a custom-built rocketsuit, Bishop tears apart pirate airships for treasure and salvage.
Bishop is an irreverent adrenaline junkie, good-natured and generous, but impetuous and prone to carelessness.

Example Voice Lines
Assigned as “Drop Leader”
“I'll get us there.”
“Wait, I'm drop leader? Oh, get ready...”
Reviving a downed teammate
“Ugh, don't die.”
“We've got more work to do.”
“Stop whining. You're fine!”
Successfully resurrecting her whole team
“Alright! Everybody, back in the pool!”
“I'll bill you later.”
“Now can we agree that I should be in charge?”
“Huge rez by Bishop.”
Downing an enemy
“Not dodging that.”
“Knocked into next century.”
“You didn't need those teeth.”
“Like a sack of bricks!”
Hudson
An experienced mechanic and combat veteran, Hudson’s custom-built exoskeleton and rapidfire gun-arm help him weather the chaos of the post-Rising world.
What Hudson wants more than anything is a little peace and quiet… but it doesn’t look like he’s going to get it any time soon.

Example Voice Lines
Assigned as “Drop Leader”
“I'll take us in.”
“One more ride.”
Deploying Barbed Wire
“Zinc-coated steel.”
“Walk through this!”
“Something to sit on.”
Reviving a downed teammate
“Come on, buddy. Get up.”
“I've got you.”
“You're gonna be fine.”
Last alive on his team
“I can't believe you did this to me.”
“Bunch of freaking amateurs.”
“Well... Can't say my hopes are high.”
Downing an enemy
“Don't bother getting up.”
“Stay right there, pal.”
“You poor fool.” (Chuckle)
A few other Hunters whose VO I’m particularly proud of (shout-out to the community member who created these videos):
Beebo
An interdimensional tourist who speaks an indecipherable language…
Oath
An ancient battle automaton with immense strength, bound by his programming to defend the powerless. Still getting his bearings.
Celeste
An elegant dancer transformed into an ice elemental during the upheavals of the Rising.
Felix
The most handsome fox in the Blue, beloved by all, also a genius who invented many never-before-seen pyromantic devices and novelties, assisted by the inimitable flame spirit Embry...
Rudely and unfairly expelled from his community of Brightflame Foxes for the simple crime of accidentally burning down the village a little bit, Felix has taken his (considerable!!) talents elsewhere. While most Brightflame Foxes develop pyromantic abilities early in life, Felix was unfortunately not blessed with this gift. Wandering thoughtfully in the woods one day however he crossed paths with a flame spirit named Embry, who has become his dearest friend, and also the power source for a flamethrower, jet pack, et cetera.
