Adam Howden

Early life and education Howden was fond of acting since his early school years. He chose the subject for his GCSE studies, then his A Levels at the Strode College in 1999. He studied Drama, Film Studies, and English Literature until his 2001 graduation. Howden studied multiple acting techniques, including some involving his voice. He stated, "Working on your voice is very important in all areas of acting, not just voice-overs." There, he discussed with Lenagan how he wanted to do voice-over, and Lenagan encouraged him to present his voice reel at Just Voices, a voice-over agency he had co-founded. Howden did so, which started his career in voice-overs, first doing commercials and corporate voice-overs. He moved on to video games, with additional voices in Dragon Age Origins and Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening, Directed by Caroline Livingstone,

Howden's breakthrough came in 2011's Dragon Age 2 as Anders. Howden recorded with the guidance of Caroline Livingstone,

Shulk (Xenoblade and Super Smash Bros) After a successful November 2010 audition for an unidentified Nintendo role-playing game, Howden was offered the role of the protagonist, Shulk, in the English dub of Xenoblade Chronicles. Unlike Xenoblade Chronicles and Dragon Age where he recorded alone in the booth, Howden performed alongside other actors this time.

Writing interests Howden has expressed a love for writing stories, stating it's "a good way to stay sharp when I'm not acting." As he explains, "I've been told so many amazing stories of their time there and having visited there myself I want others to see what a beautiful place it is. It's all in my head, I just need to write the bugger."
