After years of anonymity, gaming's most famous but least recognisable voice has broken cover to chat PEGI 18, AI acting, and his €200 paycheque
If you've ever watched a game trailer in Europe, you've almost certainly heard Richard Wells' voice. He is, in his own words, «the guy who says 'PEGI 18' on all of your video games,» which is to say he's the smooth baritone that lets you know a game's age rating right before its trailer plays; the British equivalent of that ESRB guy who says "product not yet rated" before E3 trailers. He's ubiquitous but—until he became a TikTok sensation—anonymous, and it turns out he only made €200 (£170) for his work.
