Transcript

Coming back to this character after all these years is, it's such a treat, it's such a joy. I had to retune back into Edward's journey back into the character, and I did that by playing the game, which was awesome. A little different to my preparation for the first game, because there was obviously no material of the character. So coming back there were some slight adjustments I had to make to my voice. My voice is a bit lower now, 13 years after. It was quite fun and nostalgic, actually, to kind of tune back into this character after all the time, yeah.
