Title: CVG Charles Martinet Interview
Post by: Suffix on December 07, 2007, 08:46:29 PM
On November 29, the voice of Mario, Charles Martinet, spoke in an interview with computerandvideogames.com. In this 15 (or less) minute video interview, Martinet discusses how he landed his job as the mascot's voice, how he develops personalities for Nintendo characters, and side topics such as his take on violence in video games. Regardless of topic, however, it's always fun to hear Martinet converse (http://computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=176557) on random subjects while intermittently inserting the voices of Mario and company.

CVG requires a Windows Media Player plug-in, so be advised of browser incompatibilities. Use the Launch Player link on the right side of the introduction body.

If you have a high enough version of Windows Media Player, Internet Explorer should display it just fine. I haven't found any uploads of this interview elsewhere so far.

Or if you use a media player that's, you know, good.

No, Chupperson, quality isn't the issue here. A better media player will not allow you to watch the interview.

Why is it that the video is only eight minutes long? Both the post here at TMK and the page at CVG say it's 15 minutes long.

I felt something was off about that measure of time. I wish I would have verified it for myself!

Perhaps the interview originally was 15 minutes, and this is the edited version.

I really wish I had my other computer right at the moment.  I can't watch it on my mac. :(

Wow, he did a really really good impersonation of the "resident evil" title screen guy.

Also... hasn't he done Baby Wario already? Or was that someone else? (YIDS)

Waluigi's voice based on self-pity... spot-on. Why can't I have my own gaaaame?

Indeed.

Huh, What? Does it bother so much that you'd emphasize my point, but not enough that you'd bring up yourself?

I guess I'd better not own up to alot of things.

EDIT: Thank you, goodie!

I was highlighting the irony.  You misspelled proofread.

According to Google it wasn't, but, eh, I guess it gets misspelled so much it just doesn't care.

Dunno if yours was intentional (yes?) but it seems to be a misspelling meme.
Title: Re: CVG Charles Martinet Interview
Post by: Boo Dudley on December 12, 2007, 09:13:23 PM
No, unintentional, I know how to spell 'proof'. It's just that I wasn't certain that 'proofreading' was one word or two, and misspelled it proff.

I've seen it before. Charles Martinet is my favorite video game voice actor. Well, that's all I have to say.
