To be fair, I remember Patton making some (mild) complaints about what he needs to do to undo his vocal stress he puts himself through in a few interviews.I remember that time someone put a gun to a persons head and said scream into this microphone for 8 hours! Fucks sake, it's not a minimum wage job where you need protection from exploitation.
Or just do what everyone does for screaming special effects: Hire Mike Patton.
Yes and as a programmer i may as well go demand a raise because of finger stress.Your glottal folds are like any muscle, it gets tired, gets stressed, you have to exercise and train it to go long sessions.
It's not like being an endurance runner, but if you think it's easy, it's not. It's probably the least crazy part of their demands.
edit: and as Vaclav pointed out, it's kinda like actors losing/gaining weight or buffing up for roles, for certain styles of voice you have to train really hard *which changes your voice* and then undo it for your next role if they want what you originally had.
That's not how I took Patton's comments technically - if you've not listened to FNM/Bungle/Phantomas/etc not too mention his other works, he tends to do various vocal stresses while maintaining something like a 7 octave range or some such on an almost daily basis - so while similar, he's not really got a "normal" he adjusts back to - I've tried to cover his singing some myself and I personally feel like I went through a bout of Strepp after some of the gutteral stuff. [falsetto stuff doesn't hurt too bad though, i.e. I started a joke]edit: and as Vaclav pointed out, it's kinda like actors losing/gaining weight or buffing up for roles, for certain styles of voice you have to train really hard *which changes your voice* and then undo it for your next role if they want what you originally had.
Not only dumb but also wrong:Does Workman's Comp Cover Repetitive Strain Injuries?Yes and as a programmer i may as well go demand a raise because of finger stress.
Boo fucking hoo. It's part of the occupation they chose.
Did you not recognize the sarcasm or are you merely pretending to be retarded?Not only dumb but also wrong:Does Workman's Comp Cover Repetitive Strain Injuries?
Sorry that you're too stupid to realise your shitty job is wrecking your health.
In the film industry, there's something called the "pirate ship." It's when you do sound effects for a movie, then save all those sound effects and bring them along with you onto your next job, so each time you're required to make less and less unique sounds. I imagine there's something similar for the video game industry.Any idea what % of video games use actual made-for/unique content?
Thinking through how many times I've heard various clips in different games seems a lot get recycled from film or other games.
