Don't worry game. I'll voice act for you.

I got into the Ace Attorney series from PrinceBoo21's Let's Plays of the first three games. He provided voice acting for the characters because the game had none. When the time came for me to play my first ace attorney game, Apollo Justice, the game itself did not have voice acting and with no Prince Boo I just started voice acting myself. Apollo was my normal speaking, Trucy was a higher pitch of my normal voice, ect. But the weird thing about it was I didn't really relies it was happening. I just did it, but the strangeness of it does not stop there.

When I downloaded Dual Destinies I started playing it instantly and I started voice acting it again even thought the game had voice acting, all be it very little. I noticed this time when my mom asked who I was talking to in the living room. Even after I became aware of my voice over I still spoke all the characters dialogue out loud. The most humorous part of it being the fact that I gave Detective Fullbright a high-pitch nasally voice when he really had a normal, if some what deep, voice.

And then came Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright. As you may have suspected I started doing voice work in this game as well, but ONLY in the court cases (of which I've done two so no spoilers). It's just something about the Ace Attorney style that makes me want to read it aloud. It's strange what some games can make you feel like doing.
