Description:

Hello everyone, you were waiting for the voice acting from your favorite WGTV TV hosts and we made it - together with you! We carefully looked at the works for the voice-over phrase contest and it was on their basis that we recorded Asya, Olga Sergeevna and Kiril Oreshkin. The tank crew voice acting from WGTV for WOT 1.6.0.0 turned out to be very cool. For convenience, it was packaged in a convenient installer with the ability to choose to install several options for voiceovers:

• voice acting from Serb;
• voice acting from Kiril Oreshkin;
• voice acting from Olga Sergeevna;
• voice acting from Asya;
• voice acting from a Solid developer;
• crew voice acting from WGTV;

Choose any of them and enjoy your favorite voices not only by watching videos on YouTube, but also by playing tanks. You can listen to how the voice acting will sound in the game directly in the installer without installing it. If you still can’t choose the voice acting you need, then install the voice acting of the crew from WGTV, in it you can hear the voices of all three hosts, as well as a solid developer.

An excellent feature of this voice acting is that by setting, for example, the voice acting from Olga Sergeevna, you can switch to any other right in the game, in the sound settings. (see screenshot below)

This is very convenient because once you install any voice acting from WG TV, you immediately get 5 different voices that can be switched right in battle. I think this pack of sound mods will be enough for you for a long time.

→ Articles → Famous personalities of world of tanks: Olga Sergeevna

We continue to talk about the famous personalities of the world of tanks. Today, Olga Sergeevna, world of tanks news anchor, came under the tip of our pen. Unlike other people that we previously wrote about, Olga Sergeevna won popularity in wot simply because she is a girl.

In fact, it is not clear why she causes such a stir around herself. After all, Olga Sergeevna is simply the host of world of tanks news. It appeared in the second edition of the wargaming news, and immediately tons of positive reviews rained down on the forums. Well, finally, a girl visited the harsh world of brutal tankers. By the way, even after the Miss World of Tanks beauty contest was held, the players still continue to twitch nervously at the sight of girls in tanks. And it is not even clear whether it is from positive or negative emotions.

But, despite the different attitude of tankers towards girls, Olga Sergeevna won the world of tanks audience completely and completely. What can I say, some players even install hangar skins with her portraits on the wall. I'm afraid to imagine what happens to them when they start watching wot videos with her participation. Terrible, comrades!

By the way, Olga Sergeevna hosts not only wot news, but also other programs covering the inner life of wargaming. You can always watch the wot videos in the archives, or wait for new releases.

The king's daughter

There are rumors that Olga Sergeevna got into wot for a reason. There are suggestions that her father is Sergey Burkatovsky, the main game designer of the project. It was he who made his daughter the face of wargaming news. In support of this, the players cite several facts: her middle name is suitable, and their faces are similar. Although even if so, in my opinion, none of the users of the game world of tanks are against it. Everyone is happy to run to watch the video with Olga Sergeevna, wot the audience is crazy about this presenter.

Learning by watching wot video

At the moment, there are two main leaders in Wargaming. Kirill Oreshkin, who was recently hired, leads tutorials and reviews of various patches, and Olga Sergeevna's world of tanks duties are news.

Olga Sergeevna is incredibly popular among World of Tanks users. We talked to a well-known game host about games and leveling up in real life, and also learned about the sometimes difficult work of WoT video editing.

- How did you come to "tanks"?

I was graduating from university and, like any normal person, I was looking for a job. I am a translator by education, and I have no problems with English, so I chose translation agencies. But the prospect of sitting, working and translating texts, no matter how interesting they are, is a little boring. I didn’t know about World of Tanks then, because the “tanks” had just fired, probably a year had passed at most. At that time, the project had already been launched in Europe and the USA, and specialists were in great need. But since there were no specialists, we all worked from Minsk. Therefore, the company was actively looking for people who could help users in Europe and America, but who are locally located here and speak English well.

A girl called me and asked: "Do you know something about us?" - "Not yet". - "Do you play video games?" - “Well, in general, yes. In different." I didn't have a passion for any particular genre.

Would I like to work in a help desk? I immediately thought that this is not what I expected. Where are my translations, what will I do? But over time, I realized that it was interesting. A young excellent team: everyone is so creative and cheerful, everyone is “dragging” something, they work with enthusiasm. It turned out to be contagious - I also began to invent different things. And everything ended very successfully.

- What games did you play?

I did not have a certain passion for any genres. Except, perhaps, racing - I went through all Need for Speed. My favorite is the NFS Underground, where you could "pump" cars and there was a song "ron-don-don".

I only had consoles as a child, Dendy and Sega. The choice was small - fights, tanks and some "Chip and Dale" and "Duck Tales" in which they save the world. My father and I went through tanks five times.

Naturally, later Sims did not bypass me. I knew this cheat with an exclamation point. It was introduced for a very long time, and you immediately had a lot of money - you could build a house you wanted, you could make a lot of friends to get a normal job.

I want to try GTA 5, but there is no console. They also took several Guinness records. Judging by the previous versions, the game will go perfectly. You need to either rent or buy to go through it all.

- How often do you play World of Tanks?

Used to play a lot, but now a little less. And, of course, a lot of work too. At the moment, I have about three thousand fights on my ru-account. When I worked in European and American technical support, there were still fights there, but that was two years ago. I just left tech support and started doing something else. Then there were planes and card WoT Generals, all sorts of other interesting things.

"Tanks" are more familiar, because you already know the correct tactics of the game, so to speak, a strategy. And you still need to study in “aircraft”, Generals are very interesting, but there are things that need to be finalized. In general, you need to learn how to play the rest, and “tanks” are now the most established product. Tank girls, why not?

I was even taught how to drive a real T-72 tank when we went to Pechi with esportsmen. First, they learned to drive a tank on a simulator. The controls are like in a real tank, but instead of a real triplex, you see how your tank rides on the screen.

In the army, unfortunately, you cannot be a driver if you are a girl. They put me in a real tank only as a commander, and I told them where to go.

- How did it happen?

At one of the corporate events, I met the guys from the video department. In the process, it turned out that they wanted to produce a new type of content - video news - and were looking for a host. Since I behaved very actively with them, they decided to try me as a leader. So I began to lead the news, and everything started spinning.

Since I did well in technical support, many departments wanted to lure me to their side. As a result, the deputy director of global operations came and offered to become his assistant. I thought, much higher, and agreed. I still work in this position and at the same time I am engaged in news.

We often go to exhibitions and make reports from them. It turned out that I unexpectedly became a media person.

- What is the reason for such a rapid popularity among the "tankers"?

I have always been against the standard presenters, beautiful and made up, for example, as on MUZ-TV. Of course, I took a little bit of an example from them, but I tried to bring my own. By virtue of my nature, it turned out that I made a lot of faces and generally behaved extremely actively.

At the end of each news release, we added bits of what didn't work out, like in the Jackie Chan movies. And these moments, probably, brought popularity.

- How does the company make videos?

You always think about how to present the material so that people would be interested. This is especially true of exhibitions, because they are all the same. Almost the same companies, the same products. You need to try to show something really interesting.

A three-minute video needs to shoot a lot of material. What should I do? Come up with words, go out and say. The most heroes here, of course, are our videographers. But they work day and night to shoot beautifully, come up with something and make good content. It costs a lot.

We should not forget that for me, employment as a video presenter is really more for fun, and there is also the main job - to help the deputy director. It is much more varied and multifaceted. There is a lot to learn, it is difficult and interesting at the same time. I believe that when we all go to work, development should be the goal. We must learn something new. Even if it is difficult, but there is a fan when you “pump” to a new level. For me, work is like playing tanks. You need to constantly “pump” and upgrade.

- How many people are working on the video?

It depends on the roller. News release is one thing, reporting from an exhibition is completely different. I'll use the news release as an example. There is a producer who roughly outlines the topics and writes the script. He negotiates with people whom he wants to interview, selects speakers. For example, here is a new office - Gas Powered Games. We need Chris Taylor. You call or write to him, ask him to shoot. A team of operators from our or the American office is going to him.

Then comes the set of material: we shoot a new office or gameplay, new game features. For this, there is also a dedicated team of people who sit in the “trunk” and look at how to show all this in the new version of the game. Then the screenwriters come in and write a detailed script. Now we need to translate all this into other languages ​​- here the team of translators is connected. We send videos to other offices for proofreading by native speakers.

Next comes the voice acting. Our favorite voice, which is voiced by all English-speaking people, is Ruslan Gabidullin from Cube in Cube. True, when you listen to all this, you involuntarily ask yourself the question: "What's the guy from Breaking Bad doing on the news?"

Finally, we add subtitles in Japanese, Korean, English, Chinese ... The video is ready! In general, a group of 7-15 people with the participation of outsourcers works on the video.

- Where is WG TV heading?

During my work, the WG TV project has already developed enough. And we started with four operators and a host, then that was enough. Then video guides on the game were added (how to use vehicles better and behave on the map), a broadcast with the best replays of the week. Now we have enough videos about World of Tanks, and about World of Warplanes, and about the company's global news. We also use crowdsourcing, our players send their videos, cartoons and guides.

We have 1.25 million subscribers on the Russian YouTube account alone. If the video is outstanding, it easily gains a million views, on average 350-500 thousand. Now 40 people work in the video department.

- How do you like the new comment system on YouTube, designed to increase the meaningfulness of the discussion?

We read comments and take out only constructive criticism. And when they write on the case, we recognize and try to improve the production.

Of course, we need to see how it will work. After all, most of the comments are “ololo-trololo-holivar”, like a big interjection.

Some write very long comments with criticism that is based on water. I don't think it will be filtered in any way. So it will be necessary to read everything and look for a construct in a bunch of emotions as before.

How do you feel about the fact that "tanks" may have competitors in general? For example, the same Gaijin Entertainment with War Thunder.

Did you collect candy wrappers as a child?

- Not.

And when you bought gum and came across a repeat wrapper, what did you do with it?

- I burned it.

World of Tanks is a unique project that has taken its niche and was the first. Everything else that appears is repetition.

But, on the other hand, competitors are a plus for us: we see that something must be missing and it can be improved. When we entered the market, there was no competition. We relaxed on the waves, occupied our niches there and took awards. Now, when there is competition, this is an incentive for us to run faster. I think it's great.

What are your hobbies, what do you do in your free time?

I like traveling very much. I go to figure skating - we have opened a corporate club with professional coaches. I was dancing from the age of 5 to 18, but now I can’t afford it, because I have to go on business trips. I still have a very warm attitude to choreography, I try to visit all possible ballets, dance theaters and performances in order to delve into it all. I know how artists feel on stage and how good they feel when they express themselves. I would really like to have a more regular schedule for dancing. Here you have to sacrifice one of the things that I like. Or work well and be in the center of events, or do some simple work and dance. Well, for now I'm with World of Tanks.

- Do you ever run into fans in real life?

It happens! Most often this happens at exhibitions. People go there purposefully and know that they will meet Olga Sergeevna, or Asya, or Kirill Oreshkin there and take pictures with them. But in real life I don't see much of it.

Once a locksmith came to me to fix the door. I gave him my passport, because you need to open the door with a residence permit. And he exclaimed: "O! So I know you, you are Olga Sergeevna. I was actually very pleased. But no one else will really know. And thank God!

Instead of a conclusion

I believe that World of Tanks brings people together in real life. Well, if you sit there, you play World of Warcraft, it's all the same for yourself. And here you are on a team. There are fighting girlfriends and comrades here, from this you can take out a lot of useful things in real life for yourself.

I think that if the game helps you find yourself, become more confident in something, make new friends, then why not? Everyone wants to express themselves in life. And if you like to show yourself in the game - God help you.
