The announcements just keep coming! I am so happy to announce that Adam Carrizales will be lending me his voice talents once more for PSA! This time as the final member of the Chimp Gang; Danny-Boy!
Fun fact: Danny-Boy was actually the first Winged Chimp I cast sort of. When I was looking to cast Ferdinand and was recommended Adam; I took a listen to his demo (of course). And one of the voices he did was of a snarky new yorker, and I immediately knew I wanted him to voice Danny-Boy. The thing was Danny-Boy I don't even think was designed at that point... He was a very long ways away from being ready, I don't know that he even had a single line of dialogue written yet. It took a while for the timing to be right, but I mean it was worth it.
Unfortunately you guys have to wait to hear his wonderful performance, but I assure you it's amazing. Looking at Danny-Boy knowing his inspirations where he comes from, he sounds exactly how you'd expect him to sound. I'm very excited to hear his interactions with the other chimps now that their all cast and recorded. I could sit here and try to verbalize what makes Adam's performance special, but I think I'd just go around in circles. The simplest answer is that he elevates what's written, brings nuance to the character, without his performance while there are indicators of where Danny-Boy comes from; in theory one could ignore them and sort of imagine him as coming from anywhere. Of course if you read his bio you can't really do that, but I think that's sort of splitting hairs. Adam's performance just brings everything together and amplifies that lovability of a character who's stand-offish with a heart of gold.
I'm sure you'll love his work just as much as I do when you hear it when the game finally releases. Until then, Adam welcome back to Pleasant Sparkle Academy ya' mook.
