Troy Baker will voice The Maw, the main spirit world entity and antagonist in The Medium. Mary Elizabeth McGlynn, having worked together with legendary game composer Akira Yamaoka on the Silent Hill series, will be providing her vocals for the original soundtrack. The three will be bringing their unique talent and passion from their previous work together to what is Bloober Team’s largest and most ambitious project to date.
