In the MMO shooter Destiny , you will change the voice of Ghost in the original English version. How does that look in the German synchronization?
The English voice of Ghost is Peter Dinklage, an actor whose star is rising since he took on the role of “Tyrion Lannister” in Game of Thrones and made it his own.
This is great for him, but it also makes it incredibly difficult for the creators behind Destiny to hire him for further recordings. The schedule is constantly full. Therefore, Ghost has remained silent in the two DLCs. Unusual, as he constantly provides exposition in the base game. To ensure this doesn’t happen again in “The Taken King,” they hired professional voice actor Nolan North.
He will not only voice the new lines for Ghost in the original English version but also re-sync the old lines. In this short teaser trailer, you can hear the first words of the “new Ghost” that were made public.
We have been asked more frequently lately: What is happening in German? Is there also a new voice? We reached out to the PR agency of Activision, which handles Destiny in Germany, to inquire about this.
They say that they know nothing about a recasting of the German Ghost. After all, Nolan North is also re-recording the original lines, so that the voice remains consistent, and there’s no break. This further suggests that they will simply keep the voice actor in German.
That is likely to be Claus-Peter Damitz. He not only provides the voice for Dinklage in Game of Thrones but also in his newer films. It seems that everything will remain the same for German players, as we will continue to hear the German voice of Peter Dinklage as Ghost.
