Jane Runnalls is proving to be Hollywood’s newest ‘go-to’ voice as she is recruited once again for the featured female vocals on the highly anticipated video game Call of Duty: Black Ops from Activision. In addition to the game, Runnalls’ lyrical beauty will be heard on the Black Ops soundtrack available at Amazon.com and iTunes beginning November 9, 2010.
Black Ops is the seventh installment in this blockbuster first-person shooter franchise and marks the third Activision title for Runnalls, which include “Call of Duty: World at War” and “True Crime: New York City.” The songstress is quickly becoming renowned among composers and filmmakers for her sonorous voice, astounding vocal adaptability, and
unshakeable work ethic.
A classically trained lyric soprano, Runnalls sings with a full orchestra to support the complex Black Ops original musical score written and composed by Sean Murray. To create the unique and mysterious vocals, some of the texts heard in the songs are actually phonetically transcribed from old Bulgarian chants.
Runnalls comments, "The music you’ll hear in Black Ops is darker, grittier, and a lot scarier. It will definitely have you at the edge of your seat! Whereas Call of Duty 5 is set mainly in the Pacific, Japan, and Germany, Black Ops travels though countries all over the world, and the music adapts accordingly to each locale and the various moods. Sean Murray’s score is more intricate and thrilling than ever."
In addition to singing original music for feature films, film trailers, video games, and television, Runnalls also co-founded and participates in “Songs for Smiles,” which brings uplifting musical programs to terminally ill Hospice patients throughout Los Angeles County. Runnalls is also proud to have performed as a featured soloist in Immediate Music’s 2009 concert, “Trailer Music Live,” and of her work on the Julie Andrews project, “Simeon’s Gift,” with producer IanFraser.
