Hi there!
Peredice here, it's me turn to write an article.
It's no secret that our mod will contain custom made music and custom voicelines by ISSANN (Noah).
I want to tell you a bit of backstory about finding our voice actor.

Voice Acting for Lost Industry 2
From day one of starting this project I wanted my mod to have a character who guides the player trough the levels of Lost Industry 2 and give more depth to the story. The first person I asked was my friend FanA.-, he was kind enough to read some voicelines for me. I liked his voice alot, it was fitting his role but then lately he got busy with school,he was not able to be alone and record more lines, so I had to find someone else.I had an American friend on Steam, he had a great voice too, but then something came up with his life and he got really busy aswell sadly. I've written a hire article on Source Modding Community's Discord server, and I got contacted by a guy, he was american too, I gave him the scrip, and I told him that he can have a bit of freedom in recording voicelines, like he can change 1-2 words. What I got back from him was very dissapointing, he literally changed the whole script to the point it made no sense. I got a bit worried that noone would do voice acting for my mod, I've even considered going on Fiverr and hire someone. I've told this story to Noah, and he was so kind he offered his voice, and it was suprisingly good. I'm really pleased with his work so far both Music and Voice acting-wise and I'm really greatful for him.

Music for Lost Indsutry 2
Lost Industry 2 found it's way to ModDB in December 22nd, 2018. Noah contacted me via e-mail in the holidays in December 24th. I was really suprised at first that I got contacted by a Music Producer, it seemed too good to be true. But over the months we became great friends and he made alot of Custom Music for this mod. His most greatest is "ISSANN - Lost Industry" what is featured in the second level of the mod. Noah is really talented and I'm happy I have the opportunity to work with him!
Thanks for reading, more updates regarding the project shall come soon.
Until next time,
Farewell...

That is a lot of disappointments and obstacles you went through just to get a VA but, nevertheless, you pulled through. Good job, and thank you Noah for offering your voice for Lost Industry and also making the music for it, you are without a doubt a big help to the team.
Thanks for the kind comment, I'm sure Noah appreciates it. :)
Seems you were very determined about it, so nice to know it also payed off in the end! I like the idea of having some sort of guide in the mission, too.
