Entregame Lay-off (A playtonic's Story)
Austin Murdaugh for Microsoft
đź§Š Character: Microsoft
Voice Type: Deep male voice – resonant, composed, and subtly intimidating. His presence is brief, but he radiates power and control. Think of a calm but towering authority figure – like a CEO who doesn’t need to raise his voice to make the room go silent.
Age (vocal): Sounds like a man in his 40s to 60s – mature, authoritative, with a voice that commands attention.
Personality:
Microsoft is cold, formal, and slightly condescending. He doesn’t say much, but every word feels calculated. He doesn’t care much about feelings – only about results, control, and reputation. He treats independent studios like Playtonic with distant amusement, almost as if they're children playing a game they don’t understand.
Even though his role is short, his lines must leave an impression. He sounds like someone who watches everything from above and only steps in when necessary.
Tone Suggestions:
Low, deliberate speech – never rushed
A slight sarcastic edge when referring to independents
Not openly cruel, but absolutely emotionless
Speaks like someone who doesn’t need to explain himself

I know. He asked me to tell you he’s waiting… by the lake.
deep voice): He said this was the kind of conversation no one should overhear. When he read your letter, he was furious. You’d better brace yourself… little entregame.
