Connor – Bryan Dechart (Detroit Become Human)
Top 5 Best Voice Actor Performances of Q2 2018
Of all Detroit Become Human’s intriguing android protagonists, Connor stood out to us as the most engaging, and that’s largely down to the superb portrayal by Actor Bryan Dechart. Connor’s character surely wasn’t easy to play —he’s the most calculated and robot-like of all the game’s characters, unlike Markus and Kara whose qualities are human-like almost instantaneously. He’s hunting rogue members of his kind, after all, to which he shows little emotion. Yet, there’s a soul to him that shines through in moments of compassion. It’s Dechart’s clean-cut voice and motion capture performance that helps to convey this sense of balance between clinical and emotional so brilliantly.
Audience response to Connor as a character has been overwhelmingly positive, and Dechart’s first credited performance as a video game voice actor has perhaps put him on the industry map. Check out this fascinating let’s play with his fiance and peer, Amelia Rose Blaire, in which he explains how he was able to balance playing a character that grew differently according to player-decision.
