An introduction to the voice actors

For the film there are three characters. The first is the Protagonist (a man called Thomas Williams), the second character is the Antagonist (a demon named Xigaligalig), and the third is the cat belonging to Thomas the shop keeper (called Elza). Two of the three characters have speaking parts and as such i need to have voices that suit them. With this in mind i have chosen the voice talents of John William Bryan for the character of Thomas Williams, and Devin John Peter Lawton for the voice of Xigaligalig.


Xigaligalig (Devin John Peter Lawton)


Devin studied theatre before moving to the University of Wales, Newport to study Fine Art. He has the perfect voice for the character and deals well under direction. He also has a great skill when it comes to audio production. As well as being the voice for the Antagonist of the film he has been spending a lot of time cleaning up the audio and continues to be involved with the film from and audio based position.




Thomas Williams (John William Bryan)

John William Bryan has a long standing history in Amature theatre. He has been in countless productions as an actor, director and producer. Thomas needed to have a more mature voice than that of Xigaligalig and Johns voice is, in my mind, the perfect voice for the job. The nature of my relationship with John (being my father) meant that i knew his ability from personal experience. If it wasn't for his talent in acting i wouldn't have approached him to take on the role of Thomas.
