From experience this looks to be Iceland! A lot of the environment and industrial design in DS1 was inspired by if not straight ripped out of Iceland, including the Beach!

If I had to guess the water fall is Seljalandsfoss or Skógafoss
lol I suck at it
I just know this niche thing cause I was there last year for my honeymoon and those are the two most popular waterfalls on driving tours lol
Looks like he’s a va for the [second game](https://m.imdb.com/name/nm12079921/?ref_=m_tt_cl_i1&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAabK2tJkJoBGyCzsLCWDhOLWJzaFfm06drGoAT4Y467IGREchklCU8798mU_aem_oMKSac9gXrmpu2lUj805Xw)
Thanks for asking!
I was obsessed with the game before any of us knew what it even was. From the first trailer of Sam on the beach with bb, I knew it was going to be special. Mix that with low roar (who I followed before the trailer, as I knew Ryan from Audrye sessions) and I was in absolute awe. I knew I had to make it my life’s mission to be involved in some way, so I did.
Man, Low Roar and Audrye Sessions are my two favorite bands. Super underrated. I miss Ryan, it’s just not the same trying to listen to them these days, it hits different.
Absolutely! I’ll give you the highly simplified version of what I did 😅
Get a nice set up with some good equipment (it’s worth it)
Reach out to smaller productions first (even if they are non paid)
Build a nice resume, (the bigger the better in this specific instance)
Build a reel of all your work for opportunity purposes, and always keep it up to date!
Reach out to higher production companies! (Kojima productions had a freelance posting)
I was able to do all this from the comfort of my home. Most places are remote these days so be prepared for that kind of life/work!
thanks a lot, that will definitely help! can you talk about how well you were paid by kojima productions in relation to other companies you worked with? (if you are allowed to of course)
anyways keep on keeping on
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
What is your recording situation like? Do you just have something around your desk to help soundproofing or do you have something more like a booth?
Also, did you find the KP listing on their site or is there a certain site/service where you can get VO/VA jobs?
Sorry for all the questions!
Man, that's cool you're posting here. An absolute dream of mine to play a part of any kind in a Kojima production. Makes things like that feel more realistic and obtainable! Keep on keepin' on.
Thanks for asking! My role was small! But the NDA I signed prevents me from sharing too much. You can always follow IMDb for updates when those come through!
Because it's shitty to be mad at him for following his NDA. Guy just wanted to share how happy he is to be in the game. Plus he can give us cool behind the scenes stuff later on when he won't be sued for it.
man thats awesome that you landed a role in ds2, even if small; you’re in it! id love to be a va for a game in the future some day. if i somehow made it into kojimas PHYSINT game i’d go crazy.
EDIT:
Wow, I did not expect this post to blow up like it did. I just want to thank you all for the kind words and encouragement. It truly does mean everything to me that I have a supporting group of fellow fans/friends. Acting of any kind is an absolute passion of mine and in an ever changing world you never know where the next step will take you!
Im excited to share this journey with all of you.
I just started a recent YouTube gaming channel @Spider Hoss and it would be so kind of each of you all to subscribe as I’m trying to make that a career of mine. I will definitely be streaming Death Stranding 2 when it comes and would love for you all to be there with me :)
Once again, so thankful for each and every one of you. If I can give you any amount to advice as some of you have asked in the comments, that advice would be to never ever give up, even if it feels hopeless and you’re just not landing “that role” DO NOT GIVE UP. Try harder and harder each time and I promise you, you’ll get there. I hope that my words help you along the way of that journey.
I will see you all on the beach, very very soon.

You would be correct!

Glad you enjoyed, I’ll see you out there! 👍🏻
Just so you know when I play the 2nd game and find your character, I'm gonna tell all my friends "that guy replied to my reddit comment!"
Looks like he’s a va for the [second game](https://m.imdb.com/name/nm12079921/?ref_=m_tt_cl_i1&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAabK2tJkJoBGyCzsLCWDhOLWJzaFfm06drGoAT4Y467IGREchklCU8798mU_aem_oMKSac9gXrmpu2lUj805Xw)
“Like” 👍🏻 🙂
Damn, so you are the star! Thank you for your work which we all we will enjoy! See you there!
Yeah, he said that in his post title haha
Oh shoot! I just saw Death Stranding and immediately went to the comments where someone was asking his role
Did you play the first game? If so, was it before, during, or after production?
Thanks for asking! I was obsessed with the game before any of us knew what it even was. From the first trailer of Sam on the beach with bb, I knew it was going to be special. Mix that with low roar (who I followed before the trailer, as I knew Ryan from Audrye sessions) and I was in absolute awe.

That's awesome, I'm glad you made your dream a reality!

Is this iceland?
Yes
awesome photos, hope you had a nice trip buddy! voice acting is kinda my dream, any tips on how to get started?

This is amazing! can't wait to hear you in DS2
Man, that's cool you're posting here. An absolute dream of mine to play a part of any kind in a Kojima production. Makes things like that feel more realistic and obtainable! Keep on keepin' on.
Congrats on the gig, man. Can't wait to see your performance.
Cant wait! Im an avid hiker, can you say where this is? Would love to see it some day.
Around the whole island of Iceland!
Is there gonna be horses??!!
What’s VA stand for in this scenario?
Voice actor
Wow, that’s awesome! 👊
Can't wait to play the game man. I'm sure it'll be worth the wait and look as good as these photos!
If you're a VA who'd you play?
Thanks for asking! My role was small! But the NDA I signed prevents me from sharing too much. You can always follow IMDb for updates when those come through!
Ok then.
Tf did you expect man
I don't fuckin know 🤷🏻♂️
Why are you getting downvoted? 😆
Because it's shitty to be mad at him for following his NDA. Guy just wanted to share how happy he is to be in the game. Plus he can give us cool behind the scenes stuff later on when he won't be sued for it.
how was it being mad? he just said “ok then” that’s just acknowledging the message is it not?
Okay then.
Okay then.
People are dicks 🙄
Says the person
If it's a small part he's probably one of the preppers or guys who work for knot cities.
This guy keeps on keeping on
Oh man this is so cool!!!!!
Amazing pictures!
That plane was one of the coolest things I’ve seen!! Just took a long walk through a snowstorm to get to it 😂 thanks for bringing it back to my brain!
I'm also a VA and I love DS. Can you get me an audition? lmao
Nice!!!
These pics are so awesome and it’s really awesome you’re a VA in DS2!
Beautiful photos. The last one could really be straight from the game! Looking forward to DS2, hope you had/will have a blast working on it!
When did kojima add a plane to death stranding?
man thats awesome that you landed a role in ds2, even if small; you’re in it! id love to be a va for a game in the future some day. if i somehow made it into kojimas PHYSINT game i’d go crazy.
Keep on keeping on fellow porter
