Matthew Wood and Christopher Scarabosio Discuss The Sounds Of ‘Rogue One’

Peter Sciretta of Slashfilm sat down with Matthew Wood and Christopher Scarabosio to discuss the sounds of Rogue One, here is an extract:

Matt, you have done voices for some of the Star Wars films. You’ve voiced Bib Fortuna, General Grievous, Battle Droids, Ello Asty, Quiggold and many others. Did you have a voice cameo in Rogue One?

Matthew: Yeah, I did. In fact, Chris and I both did to be quite honest. In Rogue One I played the voice of the character Pao. I also did some Stormtrooper voices. And I also was the voice of anything Deathtrooper related. All the weird sort of encrypted dialect that’s coming out of the Deathtrooper’s voices to make that scary sound, that was my voice.

That’s awesome. And, Chris, who did you play?

Christopher: I was the Houjix guy.

Matthew: Saw’s guys are playing Dejarik holo-chess, and Chris is the guy gets a Yahtzee.

Christopher: Yeah, basically the guy throwing the dice and playing the game and he throws the die, and he reacts to it, and he’s very excited, and rest of the players are kind of like oh… So the appropriate thing we determined after checking with the people who makes these things was Houjix.
