Incredibly excited to share with you all that the official voice actor for our student body president, Unicorn McFeel-Good, is Mylo Reid!
Mylo is an incredibly talented VA having worked in the industry for several years and with plenty of industry veterans. When I heard his demo reel I thought, "this is the guy, this is Unicorn McFeel-Good."
I didn't want to cast just anyone, that sounds like, "well no duh." But it's true I wanted someone who was also interested in the character in and the project. If your voice actor(s) believe in what you're doing then you're just naturally (I believe) going to get a better performance. And if someone other than you, your family, and friends likes what you're doing and wants to professionally take part then you might have someone special there.
While I'd say all characters in PSA are important. I'd also have to admit that Uni is arguably the most important he's the first introduced to us at the start of the story/game. And depending how you play/read he's also the last. He's a constant presence throughout the story. So I couldn't just cast someone that was good. It's hard to quantify why exactly Milo is the perfect it. I could say the typical things that anyone casting him would say. But I think for me it was listening to a couple suggestions he had sent during a car ride with my significant other and immediately after hearing both before I could say a word. They said me, "the first one, as a consumer, I prefer the first." And when I held up Uni's picture and listened again I literally said out loud, "f*@k you're right, it's so good, it's perfect." Milo just got it and like I said it helps when the person you're working with likes the work too.
Like I said it's really hard to pinpoint, but every time I hear his performance I want to hear more. As someone digesting the media like you guys I want more Unicorn McFeel-Good. And maybe every writer feels that way when hearing their words read back. But I do think it's more than that, I really do think it's an testament to Milo's performance, that he can bring this very animated, and very I suppose unrealistic character to life in a way that makes you really believe Uni is real. Really brings depth to the character that I don't know that words alone can do.
But I've rambled enough, I'm super excited for you guy to hear his whole performance as Unicorn McFeel-Good when the audiobook and eventually the visual novel for PSA releases!
