5. Gangster Dialogue Is Recorded From Actual Gang Members
A guy named Lazlow Jones, who has worked on the sound aspect of GTA since it first started up, said it was important that each character in the game had that authentic feel:
“We recruited a guy who gets gang members, actual real gang members, like El Salvadoran gang dudes with amazing tattoos, one of which had literally gotten out of prison the day before. We get these guys in to record the gang characters because we don’t want a goofy LA actor who went to a fancy school trying to be a hard gang member. There’s nothing worse than that, so (we) just go find the terrifying people and say ‘Can you come in here please?’”
