In this fascinating talk, BRAVA Founder, Melissa Thom, welcomes special guest, Sebastien Croteau, an accomplished metal vocalist and extreme voicing expert.

They discuss Croteau's extensive career - his unique skills as a Tibetan, Mongolian, and Inuit throat singer - and his contribution to a huge number of video games, including the recently acclaimed Baldur’s Gate 3, Prince of Persia, Assassin's Creed, and more.

Croteau explains how the fine control and understanding of the different parts of his vocal apparatus, developed through years of throat singing, have made him a sought-after voice actor for creating monster and creature sounds.

He shares insights into the science of different voice techniques, along with demonstrations of extreme voices. Croteau also provides a glimpse into his Monster Factory, a talent agency specialising in extreme sounds. Sebastien offers valuable advice for aspiring voice actors interested in learning extreme voice techniques and highlights the importance of proper training and warm-ups.
