Voice actor Jordan Reynolds joins Geek Freaks to unpack his role as Adam Warlock in Marvel Rivals, how he built the character’s calm, reliable presence, and what it takes to deliver clean, useful callouts that help players in the moment. He talks audition mindset, working with voice director Michael Sirieix at Brightskull Studios, and shaping performance to match gameplay. We also get fun stories from his early days on the Warner Bros. lot, meeting Crispin Freeman, and his World of Warcraft gigs, from Highmountain Tauren to the mead-obsessed Dr. Brandt.

Adam Warlock’s voice sits in a steady, reliable pocket that uplifts the team even when the action spikes.
Functional clarity matters. Short barks like “Born Again” must be instantly readable and still feel human.
Great sessions balance instincts with direction from the studio to align reads with gameplay needs.
Auditions should reflect what resonates with you. Chasing every note leads to safe reads that blend in.
“Submit it and forget it” helps you stay sane when audition volume is high.
Early studio moments matter. That first WB lot gig and meeting heroes like Crispin Freeman fueled the journey.
In WoW, he has credits from Highmountain Tauren to Dr. Brandt’s mead mission in The War Within.
“He is hopeful, he is uplifting, and he’s an anchor.”
“Everything is very clinical, methodical.”
“Submit it and forget it.”
“Countdown to Geostorm in five, four, three, two, one.”
