It's really interesting to learn how much music influences performance, especially in video games! Nick Apostolides, the voice actor for Leon Kennedy in the Resident Evil Remake series, recently opened up about how bands like Nirvana and Metallica shaped his portrayal of the character. He specifically mentioned using Nirvana's grunge energy for the younger Leon in RE2 and turning to Alice in Chains while voicing Leon in RE4. For his latest performance in Resident Evil Requiem, he even drew inspiration from classic Metallica, which I think adds a whole new layer to his character. As a fan of both the games and the music, I found this connection super fascinating and can’t help but appreciate how music can shape storytelling in gaming!
