Stewart Clarke discusses voice acting in Metaphor: ReFantazio and his character Leon Strohl

Stewart Clarke, the voice actor for Leon Strohl in the JRPG *Metaphor: ReFantazio*, discussed his experience in a recent interview. He initially approached Strohl as a typical noble character but quickly realized he needed a more relatable portrayal. This led to a re-recording of his first scene. Clarke described his first day as intense, performing a key awakening scene that defined Strohl's character. He enjoyed the challenge of voice acting, especially filling in gaps in the story while recording. He recently completed the game, playing for 133 hours, and expressed his enjoyment of the experience. While it's unclear if *Metaphor: ReFantazio* will receive expansions or sequels, Clarke expressed interest in reprising his role. He praised the game's world and art direction, indicating he would be ready to return if more stories were to be told.
