During the writing of “The Rise of Starlit Fires,” I was approached by Force Majeure, who were looking for a native English speaker to provide the voice of the Child in a song called “The Darkening.” Since I had never done any voice acting before, I took on the project without knowing much about it. The song turned out to be (obviously) the darkest on the album and my personal favorite, despite not hearing the song itself until the album was released. It took us fewer than ten takes to get what the band needed and I hope to have more opportunities to do this kind of work in the future!
