Timothy Patrick Miller

Timothy Patrick Miller is an American voice actor based in Texas. He provided the voice of Fleet Admiral Castor Dane in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. Much of Miller's work is in narration of books and plays about American history, but he has also voiced several characters in Wizard101 as well as Ratbeard in "Pirate101".
Miller gave an interview to Shinesparkers about his role as Dane on August 28th, 2010.
==Metroid Prime 3: Corruption==
Miller received a call from his agent Debora Duckett at dB Talent, asking if he would audition for a role in a Nintendo video game. Duckett was not allowed to tell him anything about this game - Corruption - until he came to the agency office. He was required to sign a non-disclosure agreement before looking at the script. He later likened this to "a vital behind the line mission for the secret service", which was appealing to him. Upon signing the NDA and reading the script, Miller recorded some of Dane's lines, and was cast in the role a week later. Miller received notes about Dane, describing him as "strong" and a "voice of command".Interview: Timothy Miller. Shinesparkers. August 28, 2010. Retrieved November 23, 2021.
The process of recording Dane's lines was similar to film dubbing. Miller would watch an animated sequence and record all dialogue matched to the respective scene. This marked a change from past jobs Miller had voiced for, where he would read a script with no visual aid and then it would be matched to the sequence. He described Retro Studios as a "cavernous place" filled with bright, young development talent, who escorted him from the lobby to their audio booth deep within the studio. He was given images of Dane's costume and facial expressions to have a reference.
During the briefing in the Ready Room, in the NTSC version of Corruption, Dane exclaims "Damn!" when the Space Pirates attack Norion. This was changed to "No!" for the PAL release, and the edit was retained for Metroid Prime Trilogy. Miller said he was unbothered by this change, and felt relaxed and not under pressure when voicing Dane. Prior to Corruption, Miller had not played any Metroid games. He expressed interest in reprising the role of Dane in a future Metroid title.
==Other work==
Miller's voice work includes commercials from the American Red Cross during the Hurricane Katrina disaster (one of them can be viewed here), as well as advertisements for Chase Bank, the Democratic Party, Whataburger and Mercedes Benz. His favorite project since Corruption has been American Listeners Theatre, a series of historical audiobooks he has narrated that tell stories from American history. He starred in Bierce the Revelator, a 2015 film about Ambrose Bierce that is available on Amazon Prime.
