So did you just hire pat to voice a skyrim follower mod for you? You can just do that? For some reason in my head voice actors are a commercial size expense but Im thinking maybe im wrong
The greatest advantage I had with hiring Pat Mahoney is that he's done voices before for a Skyrim Mod. He even made his own music for Skyrim as well.
Which I would recommend:
44 professionally mixed, lore-friendly songs to enhance your Skyrim playthroughs. Inspired by Irish folk music and other celtic influences,
He voiced Arelthor and Gromash in Interesting NPCs, and Doctor Watkins in a Fallout 3 mod.
So he's familiar with the lore and the game itself, I didn't have to provide any context or pronunciations of certain names. He knew what I was talking about in my scripts and even asked to edit/add some lines of his own. I told him "go for it!" and he helped flesh out Taliesin.
He was easy to talk to. I just wrote him an email that said "Hey, I'm making a Skyrim mod - here's the character - would love to have you voice him, would you be interested?"
but he's also a professional actor at the end of the day, so his work wasn't for free. But he was worth every penny!
