Who's your favorite voice actor/actress for the player character?

[JustTrogdor.7892]

There was a poll on this not long ago. Maybe you will find the results and discussion on the same topic interesting.

[Oglaf.1074]

The male Norn VA does a fantastic job with the story parts, but I kinda find the combat grunts annoying with _certain_ weapons (GS auto-attack chain in particular).

[Endless Soul.5178]

I voted for Colleen, but then again, with 12 asura characters, I am rather biased.

[NoiseRen.2403]

April Stewarts voice just feels so right.

But i'm biased cause human female is meta.

[Batel.9206]

I'm still biased toward my male sylvari, my first character. :) I really do love his voice, though.

[DietPepsi.4371]

I have to say I love Brandon's voice. He has a very 'storyteller' like voice. Nice to listen too.

 

I also love the sound of the Male Charr PC's voice, because I think Lex Lang and formerly, Ron Yuan did amazing jobs delivering their lines in a manner that is believable in most of the ingame dialogue, with conviction, the only weak parts being some line in Heart Of Thorns, but then again, that seems to be true for most PC actors in HoT.

 

[Curunen.8729]

As much as I love B5, I still have to go with asura female.

 

Asura male is pretty good too - though I find the voice slightly more comedic than asura female due to the quiver.

[Ashantara.8731]

I can't vote, because I think that **several do a _great_ job** (_except_ for the general fact that, apparently, the voice director has been telling them to talk reeeeeeeeal slow since HoT, for whatever absurd reason = **annoying!**).

 

I can tell, however, whose voices I **do not like**: the male Charr and male Norn replacements. Awful. The characters sounded _much better_ during the core campaign.

[Teratus.2859]

I main a human male but I've a soft spot for the male charr voices in gw2..

 

I really love that deep beastlike voice they get.. it fits so well for their race.

[Fat Disgrace.4275]

Asura male's voice over in combat is the best I think.

[Dual.8953]

Critical Role has me biased. Amusingly my Norn accidentally looks like Matt Mercer.

[Mea.5491]

Jennifer Hale is love. <3 She's also the voice of Queen Jennah!

 

Also, my favorite NPC voice actor is Crispin Freeman - Laranthir, Iowerth.

And my favorite NPC voice actress is Debi Derryberry - Taimi.

[moonstarmac.4603]

Jennifer Hale, Tara Strong (Scarlet/Ceara), April Stewart, and Catherine Taber (Anise) are my favorites in all

Same here. :)

[CamoBadger.8531]

I love the Charr and Sylvari female voices, they're wonderful. But the Sylvari edges ahead just barely because of the accent. It's too perfect.

[Oogabooga.3812]

I think all the character voices are great, but John DiMaggio (Canach) steals the show EVERY time he says something.

Yeah, I agree with this.

His quips are delivered too perfectly, I can never tell if he's being serious or joking and I love it.

[Oglaf.1074]

Wat. Canach is Bender?! :astonished:

[OrbitalButt.5708]

My boy Nolan North

"Oh great... now shes big enough to 'eat people'".

“Bite my thorny, vegetable kitten!”

 

 

[ugrakarma.9416]

I find it strange to admire normal everyday voices.

I wanted to have a macabre / cavernous voice

Balthazar or Rytlock to me are the best.

The word you're looking for is "Grizzled"

[Emberstone.2904]

I made an Asura female a week ago, and from now on all of my characters will also be Asura females if I can get additional slots.

 

The character model, animations, and voice acting are just spot on. Charr have a lot of clipping and armor size issues, and my human male just looks too rigid and has a somewhat soulless voice. It definitely isn't up to par with the rest of Nolan North's work.

 

But the Asura female, though? She looks and sounds like a real character.

[Calanthe.3857]

I love both the Sylvari PC voices. They sound so genuine and sincere. The female sounds sensitive yet worldly and street-smart, and the male is attractively emotional. I also like the human female voice's boldness and dramatic tones, like when she yelled, "Send my regards to your master!"
