Hey Rito sound team, question about Cho'gath

Hi guys, I'm a huge fan of good sound design, being a musician for 20+ years. I want to ask, who and how did you make the sound for Cho'gath ultimate? It really does have such a beastly quality so it can't just be a special voice talent, there has to be some technique to it? Something like an octave down double layer? Or did you just use a specific vocalizer box?

Care to reveal how you did it?

Hi Phero,

Thanks for the question! The vocal aspect was actually recorded here in the office, and was performed by a couple of the RIOTers on the art team. It's multiple voices recorded at the same time, and then pitched down with a formant shifter with some bass added in. There's also some layers of blood and bone cracking SFX added to make it a little more vicious.

Let us know if you have any other questions!

Cheers, Jay
