Failure is a word that none of us want to hear, especially when we’ve dedicated a big part of our life to trying to create something.

There are many things that define a business and lots of important decisions to make, such as picking a manufacturer or deciding on an approach to translation. I believe one of the most important decisions, which often gets overlooked, is what voice you are going to use.

Over the years I have consumed thousands of hours of videos focussed on board games. Many of these videos are reviews, how to plays, previews, and other similar content focussed on whether you should buy a game and helping you play it.
