The Last of Us Part II Voice Actor Breaks New Ground with Twitchs Artificial
a voice actor from last of us part ii is doing something interesting on twitch with the artificial show. its this weird blend of acting and audience interaction that might be the future of something.
the show features actors playing characters in real time while chat influences what happens. its like choose your own adventure but with actual performers responding live.
twitchs artificial channel has the show and previous episodes.
the format is experimental but thats what makes it interesting. traditional entertainment is scripted and polished. this is messy and responsive and sometimes that creates something special.
interactive entertainment keeps trying to find the right format. maybe live performance with audience input is the answer.
the voice actor brings credibility from the game role. people who loved that performance want to see what else they can do. smart use of existing fanbase.
whether this kind of show scales beyond niche twitch audiences is questionable. but niche audiences can be enough if theyre engaged and willing to support creators.
the last of us connection draws attention but the show has to stand on its own merits to keep people watching.
show ongoing 2020
