And I thought, ‘Well, what sounds very ethereal, wraith-like, and not of this world?'” “If I did something higher pitched and wispy, I want something very gravelly, very rumbly, very deep. “So then I wanted to do the exact opposite of that for take two,” said Chiplock. He then went in the complete opposite direction for his second submission. His first take was “very breathy, very ghost-like” in a way that somewhat sounded like Dumbledore in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, but more sinister and like he was perpetually having a slight asthma flare-up. According to him, the unnamed game just described the character as “wraith-like, ethereal, not of this world.” This gave him some freedom in how he wanted to tackle the role. It was something that came to him out of the secrecy surrounding the project.

Sean Chiplock was the actor that gave Noob that deeper voice, which serves as a huge departure from his usual roles in anime and his recent stint as Spider-Man in Marvel’s Avengers. However, it wasn’t until Mortal Kombat 11 where his voice reflected that darkness. Noob Saibot is an undead wraith-like warrior covered in black and is one of Mortal Kombat‘s edgier characters.
