We’re excited to finally share some big news from behind the scenes of BARKOUR.
After an open casting that brought us over 300 voice acting auditions from around the world, we’re proud to announce that Agent THUNDER officially has his voice - performed by Gordon Williams.
Because we value transparency, here’s how the process looked.
From those 300+ submissions, we shortlisted 100 auditions, each carefully reviewed by three team members - two from our audio department and our narrative designer. Every performance was evaluated across 13 different criteria, including diction, vocal range, emotional delivery, personality, and yes… even a convincing “dog breath.” 🐾
From there, 10 finalists made it into the final round.
Gordon stood out thanks to his remarkable versatility, strong character presence, and an ability to balance confidence, charm, and humor - exactly what we were looking for in a canine secret agent. We’ve already completed our first recording sessions, and hearing THUNDER come to life for the first time has been an incredible moment for the whole team.
This is an important milestone for BARKOUR - but it’s not the last one.
We’ll be sharing more behind-the-scenes updates soon… and yes, there’s more casting to come. 👀
Stay tuned... and give a warm round of paws to the voice of Agent THUNDER! 🐾🎮
