StarCraft II Voice Actor Speaks Out For Game Accessibility
DAGERS founder (and former Game Informer intern) Josh Straub is on a mission to raise game-accessibility awareness. And what better venue is there than a commercial spot during the Super Bowl broadcast? Straub has enlisted the help of a StarCraft II voice actor for his cause, and he can use your help as well.
Intuit is holding a Small Business Big Game contest, in which small-business owners explain what they do in 90-second video clips. The ultimate prize is a 30-second ad to be broadcast during Super Bowl XLVIII. Straub found a clever workaround for his speech impediment, which is the result of cerebral palsy – he contacted Robert Clotworthy, the voice of StarCraft's Jim Raynor, to provide narration. You can watch the video below to learn more about Straub and his organization, as well as a bit more about why accessibility matters.
If you like what Josh is doing, visit his contest page and give him a vote. The top 20 entries (as decided by voters) will move on to the next round.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
