Actors who want to work in games: I get asked 'how?' a lot. Many think they need to be 'trained' in motion capture first. This is not true. We look for the right actor or actress for the role. Just like everything else.
I'm more often than not working with actors who've not been in a mocap studio before and it has never ever caused a problem.
However, it's often the case that actors who do theatre land the roles, by virtue of being familiar with being a little more expressive physically and facially. Animation requires this. It doesn't require exaggeration though.
