“I have been a fan of Edwyn Tiong’s voice work since his first appearance in animated and gaming content on Newgrounds, back in 2005 in the years since, Edwyn has become a highly sought after voice actor and production collaborator. We are privileged to be able to continue to work with Edwyn on the third and final episode of “The Journey Down” series, and will undoubtedly hire him again on future productions as well.” - Theodor Waern, Co-founder of SkyGoblin, Producer of "The Journey Down" “Edwyn Tiong was cast for a number of major and minor characters in both the first and second instalment of “The Journey Down” series, both of which were received warmly and hailed for the quality of their voice work, much thanks to the brilliant work of Edwyn Tiong. He has worked with a number of other game development studios in the past, and his vocal prowess and clever grasp of literary tropes has proven invaluable to the production of our latest project: “Freedom Planet 2”.” - Stephen DiDuro, Founder of Galaxytrail LLC. “Edwyn Tiong has been working with our studio since the release of “Freedom Planet”, and he has been exceptional at performing his duties as a voice actor and writer. In short he is a master of his craft and he will bring all of that to the table in your project!” - Xander Mobus, Voice Actor "Super Smash Bros. He moves from character to character by utilizing all the little subtleties available in the voice actors toolkit. “In the course of my career, I’ve met very few VO artists with the talent of Edwyn Tiong, his wonderfully unique voice and stunning characterizations have been the highlight of too many projects to count. He has also worked as a punch up writer on a variety of productions, and is one of the lead writers behind the upcoming video game Freedom Planet 2. In addition to voice acting, Edwyn is also an experienced sound mixing editor, having produced a variety of audioplays, audiobooks and comic dubs that shine from his sense of aural artistry. He also has a calming, intelligent and confident voice that's well suited for audiobooks, educational and instructional videos, commercials and business presentations. This versatility has seen him star in a over a hundred web animations and video games over the course of twenty years. Specialising in creating unique and memorable characters, he can switch from being the calm, coolly distant type, to the silly and weird comic relief, to the viciously ferocious uncaged monster and back again. Wow, he's old.Įdwyn can easily switch his acting from charmingly suave professional, to comically buffoonish grandpa, to Russian gangster thug and back again in a flash. These days, he's been lending his talent to a variety of video games, including quite a few point-and-click adventure games! He's awfully tickled by that, as he grew up playing those and used to voice every character out loud to himself, because that was how you got voice acting in video games back then. Edwyn has been voice acting for years on the internet, and if you were a frequent browser of Newgrounds in the mid-00s, you would probably have heard him in almost every single game and animation on there. Lilac’s move set with dashing and double jumps makes it incredibly easy to shoot or fly to wherever you want to go in any area.As a Malaysian-born Chinese who moved to Australia then to New Zealand then back to Australia again (and currently resides in Adelaide, South Australia), Edwyn Tiong possesses a uniquely accented voice that can be best described as "American with a hint of everything". Freedom Planet separates itself from the games it draws inspiration from through its pure sense of freedom. Each have their own unique abilities, like Lilac’s ability to air dash and Carol’s ability to climb walls. Three characters are available to soar through the levels – Lilac the Dragon, Carol the Wildcat or Bissa the Basset Hound. Massive levels lend themselves to a perfect balance of speed, exploration and combat. While the design and fundamental gameplay of Freedom Planet is still clearly inspired by the Sega Genesis classic, I personally believe that this platformer deserves to be celebrated for being a great game in its own right. Originally created as a Sonic fan game, it evolved into its own project with a unique cast of characters. When Freedom Planet was released in 2014, many reviewers (including Nintendo World Report) coined it as the next great Sonic the Hedgehog game.
