Abstract
This chapter examines the different functions of the voice in contemporary video and computer games, paying special attention to multiple-player games, and looks at the prevalence of non-linguistic sounds such as screams and sighs when playing such games. It shows that the voice is part of the game audio or narrative system, as a function for character generation, and as a key element of the gameplay, and coexists with the voices of the players themselves. Hence, the informational and affective qualities of the voice affect individual players. The chapter also considers specific games that use the player’s voice as a means of interaction and its role in multiplayer online games.
