Who did sounds for The Witcher 2?

Who did sounds for The Witcher 2?

This is something that's been bugging me since I first played TW2, then forgot about it, then was reminded of a moment ago after I watched The Adventures of Invisi-Witcher.

My bird (a budgie) goes absolutely crazy when she hears birds in Flotsam. Flotsam!bird would chirp, my bird would reply, rinse and repeat until I leave the area. This amazes me because I watch tons of bird videos and I have never had my budgie 'talk' to them, she only does it with real birds that live in the garden.

So I was wondering if anyone can put me in touch with the person who did the sounds or show them this. Sir/madam, you are amazing and I forgive you every moment I nearly fell off the chair for having a bird scream in my ear. I would also like to know what kind of bird Flotsam!bird is. =D

Also, if there are any other bird owners here... do your birds react the same way?

Bird bird bird because I didn't write that word enough in this post :|

I started scanning my room for flies the first time I went to kill the kayren in the swamps.

First, this.

Second, does it not say who did the sound for the game in the credits?

It might be some kind of psychoacoustic thing involving the spatial effects of the bird recordings that tricks your bird into thinking that it's real, like something involving how the game changes the audio based on how near or far you are from the in-game birds. A video wouldn't really have the same spatial quality as a game where the relative distances change whenever you move, so that might explain it. Or maybe not. Also, that's crazy hard to explain without hand gestures.

Was bored so I took some screenshots of the credits.

Audio / Additional Audio:

Also, for the curious, the voices of the main characters. Found it interesting to see who everyone is IRL.

Hope this helps, and also encourages the audio developers to come out and give us some behind the scenes stories!

Thanks Kinl3y. : ) When I watched the credits for the first time, I found it hilarious that the VAs of Roche, Iorveth and Letho have the same first name. Marks unite!

No idea, I watch tons of bird documentaries, there are other games that involve birds/bird sounds and she never reacts this way. So strange.


@Kinl3y; that's amazing, thank you! I'm... not a fan of the credits so waiting for that bit of info to come up would be such a chooore e.e

Oh, didn't know about that site, very useful! They did forget Marcin under Audio though.

My brother has two budgies and they're always going crazy making noise so I never noticed any difference with TW2 in particular I'll pay more attention though and see if they react more loudly than usual

I extracted the sounds from the game, so you'll hear the birds, that are usually in the background, much clearer.

Now let's try to identify the different types of birds! I definitely hear pigeons in there.
