From Mickey Mouse to the voice of God - brutal job of a video game voice actor

It's the death rattles that really get Jack DeGolia, a voice actor in LA who does video game characters. "Blood-curdling screams, choking to death, then that final death rattle," DeGolia recalled. "There's breathing exercises you can do to calm things down, but you need to know your limits and be able to say, 'No'." Most actors won't say no, though: "The risk is, [game makers] will say, 'Fine, we'll get somebody else.'" The union representing actors and performers – Screen Actors Guild?American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, or Sag-Aaftra – has asked the state of California to investigate the video game industry's allegedly brutal vocal recording sessions.
