Diane has done a fantastic job with our project and we couldn’t be happier with the results – absolutely perfect!!! Diane’s work ethic is first-class and thorough from initial consultation to delivery. Any comments or changes made by us were welcomed and implemented quickly and professionally. Diane even undertook a role that was rather challenging to say the least and she nailed it ‘spot on’ – brought out the ‘wow’ factor. It has been a real pleasure working with Diane, and we would happily recommend her to anyone seeking professional voice-over and character voice services. We would definitely look forward to working with Diane again.

Tweet Defense Promo Trailer, UK

Diane de Z — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 22:20:25 +0000

I voice the character Luke in the promo trailer for the new iPhone game Tweet Defense.

Tweet Defense combines zombies, tower defense and Twitter. It’s an iPhone game that rewards players for using their Twitter account. The premise, the more you tweet, the stronger your tower defenses as you fight to save your island.

Developed by Promethium Marketing and Grinlock, it is the first application to combine social networking and gaming in this way.

Available for download from iTunes for $0.99US.

Release date: 8 March 2010

We required a voice talent for the lead character in a short animation for the promotion of the iPhone game TweetDefense. Diane gave us just the right style and tone we were looking for. She brought the character to life giving him the boyish, cheeky, confident feel that he represents in the animation visuals. Diane also brought her own enthusiasm into the project and I am sure this will play its part in the success of the game.
