You could hire people off of the street and I would not give a damn.

cute lizard

no because I just mut voices and turn subtitles on in every game I play

No but it's nice when it doesn't suck.

I agree with this

What did you think of the voice acting in dust elysian tail?

I prefer when there's no voice acting at all

All I care about is that it doesn't suck. Dark Souls hired theatre types. That works. Bethesda hires the same damn 10 people every fucking time it seems. That doesn't.

MC is trying too hard but rest are A+

I don't care who voices a character as long as they don't sound as bad as English voice acting in most anime or Breath of the Wild.

obviously. a good performance can elevate the experience.

people like claudia black and nolan north are such examples.

some of the best voice acting I've heard had casting where the VA's were hired by basically this.

only if its from a franchise, I'd prefer to keep all of the original VAs for their characters
otherwise no

Wasn't this lady in stargate?

I think too many video games have voice acting

thats how they got David Sarif's voice in Human Revolution

AAADAAAMMMM

everytime i hear claudia black start talking in a videogame i instantly become aroused

that womans voice gets me rock hard and her midriff in farscape does too

i'm usually listening to talk radio so it's turned down real low and i just read subtitles
i don't give half a fuck

Not really who but the voice has to fit the character. Don't want a hardened veteran to sound like a teenager or a kid like a chain smoking 50year old.

Yes, she played Vala Mal Doran starting in season 8 when she tried to steal the Prometheus. She became a main character in season 9 when Ben Browder, who co-starred with her in Farscape, joined the cast as Colonel Cameron Mitchell.

She was okay.

to be fair that guy has a golden voice and is a good actor, I was disappointed when he wasn't in Mankind Divided.

Whether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars. So let's get to taking out their command, one by one. Valus Ta'aurc. From what I can gather he commands the Siege Dancers from an Imperial Land Tank outside of Rubicon. He's well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defenses, take this beast out, and break their grip on Freehold

Make it stop

Pure alpha.

poor guy, he got blacklisted from TV and movies and now is forced to do VA for vidya.

I really liked him, why'd he get blacklisted?

SG1? More like /ss/ one.

Her voice acting in Diablo 3 was erotic as hell. That's what you get when you are the Maiden of Lust.

why would he get blacklisted?

he was in the John Wick movies

As long as it isn't Steve Blum doing that one voice he does in fucking everything, I'm fine.

Sure, there are many games in which good voice acting enhances the experience and games where poor voice acting detracts from the experience.
A good example i feel is the intro to Deus Ex, Page is the pro and Simons is the amateur and it really shows.

Please take a shit in my mouth

So it's not just me then? That voice could kick start me if I was dead.

Every time someone has a cool voice in vidya I look them up on imdb and they have fuck all roles, or they never voice the protagonist. Off the top of my head

David Sariff in Human Revolution
Big Boss in MGS4
Fang in FF13
Armstrong in Rising

Hack video game voice directors have shit taste and keep shilling Steven Blum and Nolan North, these guys probably ask for way too much money too.

im pretty sure she is in like the top 1% of vidya waifus

her voice is like honey being poured into my ear

vrap

I've talked to vocalists who sound cooler than Nolan. I agree, both of those dudes are so played out.

as long as they're good, i don't really care.
im in love with tara strong tho

More games need to have Grey DeLisle as a main character, and not someone who's never on screen.

Nolan North is actually a cool dude. He didn't support the strike because he feels the people actually making the game itself deserve more, not him.

He just gets casted to do "The Drake voice" all the time, despite having shit tons of range.

It's easy to ignore the strike when you've been getting steady roles for years.

That sounds painful.

My friend pokes fun at me for talking about how sexy I find her voice. All I want is for her to do an audiobook with witty banter and detailed sex scenes. I'd never need porn again.

For you.

She and Ben Browder joined it after Farscape was canceled, which was what her and Ben are more well known for.

or just watch farscape, she is amazing in that

>He just gets casted to do "The Drake voice" all the time, despite having shit tons of range
He sounds completely different playing the Ghost in Destiny. I wouldn't know it was him just from hearing it.

>playing the Ghost in Destiny
that's him? nani the fuck???

>He sounds completely different

its literally just his normal voice (ie nathan drake) with a weird filter put onto it

Well, now I gotta re-watch these shows. Getting through the first few seasons of stargate is suffering if I remember correctly.

im watching it now, only the 1st season is crap - like practically every sci fi show ever from star trek to babylon 5

they always seem to struggle in the first season of sci fi shows but sg1 improves a LOT fairly quickly; even towards the end of s1 there are some pretty good episodes

how do you not know this? they replaced the terrible, droning midget with North and he's been great.

>Look up who voice BJ Blazko in the new Wolfensteins
>Literally Additional Voices: The Actor
I'm glad he got a leading man role finally, he's so good.

Wow, it's almost like doing a good job will give you more job security that "unionizing".

Am I weird if I want to suck her boobies?

If you really think the best talent always rises to the top you are delusional. Many excellent voice actors are pushed out of the career because they weren't lucky enough to land the right work if they were even noticed in the first place.

I can't believe I spend time on this site with sickos like you.

is it true? i read on Sup Forums a week or two ago that she had sex with some teenager

You read it on Sup Forums, so it must be true.

Sup Forums doesn't just make shit up.

So basically Deus Ex
youtube.com/watch?v=kihGm4KfY7k

took me two seconds to see that Brian Bloom voices BJ. he does an excellent job in everything he does, especially Wolfenstein and COD Infinite Warfare

i'm starting to
i'm getting tired of hearing the same six people who have nearly zero range

Yeah, I wish people recognized his range more.

>Nathan Drake
>Penguin in Arkham games
>David in The Last of Us

you talkin bout Laura Bailey, ain't you

Christine Marie Cabanos' voice makes my heart melt into a warm little pile of love.

Voices my waifu Chiaki, plus Madoka (in Madoka dub) and Nepgear (in Nep dub), as well as a whole bunch of other best girls, too.

Senator Armstrong had a fucking amazing VA that fit absolutely PERFECTLY. No clue how he doesn't have more roles.

so you are just a retard then

Absolutely. Knowing who voice acts characters is a weird fetish of mine.

she's one of them yeah

Classically trained actors are best, like the souls games.

Voice acting is crucial. The Soul Reaver games would just be edgelord shit were it not for the 12/10 voice cast it had.

THANKS FOR REMINDING US JAY IS GONE FOREVER

Wanna see what that sound like?
youtube.com/watch?v=bangt7d9vGA

Her, Steve Blum, JYB, Liam O'brien, Troy Baker...

Maybe in a Souls game that works but it's not versatile.

Sorry, bro. No more Megabyte. Tony Jay was king. Really surreal seeing him in Twin Peaks and Star Trek TNG in person, but it made me smile.

Speaking of this, I forgot -- Michael Bell (Raziel in Soul Reaver) was in the TNG pilot.

Yes. I didn't buy the Persona rhythm game because Laura Bailey was not the voice of Rise.

. Did something happen?
>More like /ss/
Wait what

>do you care who voices your video game characters?
not really just as long there's lots of variety and range. like other anons have said the main problem with game voices is every game is voiced by the same cadre of people who have had a stranglehold on the all roles for far too long.

He didn't reprise his role because he was a nutcase and thought the real illerminarty was gonna get him.

To be fair that's and horrendous dialogue

m-m-muh du-dual audio.. exzpeirence......

productin valuees......

She should voice act all female characters in video games from now own. No one else is needed.

This, IS BULLSHIT.

She was a qt in Stargate.
Doesn't beat that one monster tit cow girl in Stargate Universe though.
However based off of looks the girl in OP beats Stargate Universe girl any day.

also got you addressing a subordinate officer as ... what was it?? a "shitbird?"

>Doesn't beat that one monster tit cow girl in Stargate Universe though.

Post proofs.

I remember in the Uncharted panel last week they talked about her feet and I instantly thought of you guys

>Doesn't beat that one monster tit cow girl in Stargate Universe though
She got those out in another show, they were glorious

Literally the only reason to watch SGU. That show was so boring and slow.

Jansen in Lost Odyssey
The guy has done literally NOTHING since then and has only had a couple of roles. I hear a lot of the time it's because these nobodies are union so they don't bother.

>nani the fuck???

He's done plenty of lead roles in video games, what are you talking about?

Well, I suppose. But rather what I would prefer is if the people making these things would learn that VOICE acting is often very very different than MOVIE slash TV acting and quit hiring celebrities for cred

...

Laura Bailey's voice makes me rock hard, I just wish she could do more than that one voice for all of her characters.

I've been looking for this forever
Here's some more bad voice acting
Poor Rune Factory 2.
