"Hetty Parlow "

:: Wizard 101 - Ask Timothy Patrick Miller

Question from a listener:
"Your Bio notes you were the voice of Admiral Dane in Metroid 3...have you done any newer games?"

Timothy Patrick Miller:
Wizard 101 is the new game I'm most excited about.  I performed an octave or so of the characters in Wizard 101- from the fierce Vidor Drakewing to the much friendlier almost Professorial Clancy P.  Wizard 101 involves the players in stretching their imaginations, joining the characters the Wizard 101 format presents, and together setting out on great and fanciful quests.  I particularly appreciate that Wizard 101 is not a blood and gore shoot-em up but rather calls on the players to use their minds, their native wit to resolve challenges.  Creating character voices for Wizard 101 has been a great deal of fun and it's been fun to contemplate being in an ongoing show/adventure with millions of my Wizard 101 co-creative adventurer players.  Even better, the characterizations for Wizard 101 fit right in with the notions of mystery, legend and lore we reveal in American Listeners Theatre and A Magical Reality Chautauqua Show.  Like it says on the poster:  LISTEN AND IMAGINE.   IT WILL SET YOU FREE.
