Voice Acting
From Black Mesa: Wiki
Contents |
Overview
The Black Mesa development team is re-creating the voices for all characters throughout the game.
To date over 6,500 lines of unique dialogue have been recorded and choreographed!
Background
The voice acting team was formed with the help of a community project, where all the members of the forums were able to send their recordings impersonating any of the characters in the game. From hundreds of applications, the development team narrowed the choices down to a select few. The selection was based on the similarity to the original voice and the quality of recording.

Trivia
- In the Half-Life games, Michael Shapiro did the voice acting for both the Security Guards / Barney Calhoun and the G-man. In Black Mesa, Kevin Sisk also voices the same characters.
- Michael Shapiro was contacted to voice act but declined, presumably due to being busy. [3]
