Hi Philip, Not only that, but if the game is one in an entire series of games each time you create a new game in the series you'll always have some of the necessary voice work on hand to get you started. The next game in the series won't cost as much as you probably won't have to record things like numbers, the main menu, etc. All of that will be done the first time round. All you will have to have done is any content that is unique or new to the game. As I'm an avid Tomb Raider fan I intend to create a series of Tomb Hunter games that have a number of quests or adventures featuring Angela Carter just as Tomb Raider has a number of adventures/quest with Lara Croft. Sooner or later the sounds, music, and any voice talent I pay for will get cheaper just because I'll have most of what I need already paid for during previous games in the series.
