Just wanted to thank everyone at Telltale, Bay Area Sound, Studio Jory, my fellow Walking Dead voice actors, Robert Kirkman and of course all the loyal Telltale Games fans for an incredible experience. All this wouldn't have happened without you guys, and I'm humbled to have been even a small part of it.

    Well done! You're a great voice actor by the way. You screaming "Leee" was one of the most memorable parts of the whole season and it still sticks in my mind as a masterpiece. Nice job to you and all other TT voice actors as well as writers and everyone else.

    Well I'll be damned... :p

    Oh, you're the voice actor for Andy? I must say you're quite the talented guy.

    "What the fuck did you do!?"
    "Come back and finish this Lee!"

    Those lines were so powerful! And don't be so humble, you weren't just a "small part" of it.

    Erm, regardless, well done Telltale! Amazing job!

    Congratulations on all the awards. I never voted on games before but I made an exception for this piece of art. It would've been a shame if this game lost awards to the 10th version of Call of Duty or the 4th version of Halo, etc.

    Shame about Lee. He deserved an award as well.

    Can't wait for the sequel... don't make us wait too long! :D

    I agree. Episode 2 was my favorite and you played a big role in that episode Adam!

    Kevin Blackton was human LeChuck. Adam was demon LeChuck in episode one.

    Ah, right. My mistake. I knew he was some kind of LeChuck. :p

    Very cool.

    Great Job Adam!

    Hopefully Telltale will include you in Season 2 and we'll have the honor of meeting you again as a walker :p

    I liked the VOs for the St. John family, you weren't just a "small part" of the game, you were a big part of an awesome episode :)

    "Come back and finish this, Lee!... LEE!"

    Amazing Voice Actor, too bad I left Andy for dead with his entire family dead :p

    Wow! You guys are awesome! Thanks so much for all the positive feedback. I really do go the extra mile for TT because they go the extra mile for their voice actors. The time and effort put into character development, and their ability to write for the spoken word is second to none. This shows in every unique and addictive game they produce. I think I can speak for all my TT VO comrades when I say TT has become more like family than clients to us. I was with many of them as the game of the year announcement was made, and it was an AWESOME experience to be able to share in their joy. These guys LOVE what they do, and so do I.

    OK, enough gushing... If anyone ever has questions, fire away! I'll do my best to answer them all.

    In the mean time...

    >"Are you one of those brothers ?? I dont like them [ That includes their voices] :l."

    Sweet! I did my job correctly. :D

    >"Shame about Lee. He deserved an award as well."

    Dave... was... amazing, and did deserve the award, but trust me, he's doing just fine. Google Dave Fennoy sometime, and you'll see he's got a LOT to be happy about. I wanna be Dave Fennoy when I grow up. :cool:

    And how 'bout my buddy Melissa huh? YOU GUYS made that happen, and I know she loves ya for it.

    >"Hopefully Telltale will include you in Season 2 and we'll have the honor of meeting you again as a walker"

    A man can dream. Already tried to talk 'em into making Andy the first talking zombie in WD history. Hell zombie history period. They weren't buying it.

    >"too bad I left Andy for dead with his entire family dead"

    I kicked him into the fence.

    >"Ah, right. My mistake. I knew he was some kind of LeChuck."

    Apparently the worst kind of LeChuck. I don't think I'll ever live down those "Harrr, harrr harrrrr"s :(

    Oh well, if you can't escape the clunkers... embrace 'em. I've been sneaking nods to the MI fans into a small educational project I've been voicing a pirate for. (you can hear a "wink" to the harrr-haters at the 55 second mark here): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDSejdY5RsA

    The fifth graders this project is targeted for haven't complained about the annoying laugh. Yet anyway.

    Thanks again for all the awesome comments guys. When all is said and done, you guys are the ones whose opinions really matter. And I'm honored and humbled when y'all approve of my work. :)

    And again, if anyone has any questions for me or any of my alter egos... Andy St. John (WD), Matches (BTTF), Scruffman & Isaac Davner (PA 1 and 2), or Moose (TOMI), fire away, and I'll try my best to answer 'em all.

    Any questions for LeChuck can be directed to the rightful owner of his voice, the irreplaceable Earl Bowen. :o A hero of mine, and a true legend.

    It's been a long time since I played Tales, but I didn't think there was anything wrong with your LeChuck. Sure, you were no Earl Boen, but it wasn't anything worth complaining about. Don't feel too bad about it. ;)

    I had no idea how much other stuff you were in. It's always interesting seeing Telltale's regular VAs show up from franchise to franchise.

    ...Speaking of which, what happened to Kid Beyond? Telltale used to put him in everything.

    LeChuck teaches grade school. Should we be worried?

    Holy crap! You sound a lot more like Earl Boen in that clip! You should have just done that voice for LeChuck! :p

    Your work as Andy was superb, you are a very talented man!

    I loved the ending lines especially, you can really tell that Andy's broken and defeated, the delivery was just fantastic.

    Hoping to hear you again in future projects, here or otherwise! :)

    Everyone was saying how great the game was I never believed any of it until I bought episode 1, then I thought well now I've got to buy the next one to verify that it's a good game and after that I bought all of them and after I finished the whole game it was easily the best game of the year.
