Guild Wars 2

I was just roaming around one day when I heard a certain voice. It struck me as familiar but I couldn’t place it. After passing by the same guy a few times it finally came to me. It was the same voice as Balthier from Final Fantasy XII. The voice actor is Gideon Emery. I geeked out for about a minute and then just had to go to the forums and geek out a little more. Any one else have an experience like this?

Zojja being Felicia Day actually got me to play an Asura. Prior to figuring that out I wasn’t going to level one.

Gravel-voiced Steve Blum is all over the place, too. He voiced Rhytlock and many different Charr.

There are many!!!!

Human male is voiced by Nolan North, who also does the main character in Uncharted, as well as the Jedi Consular male voice in SWTOR (it was awkward having my 2 characters sound the same). Side note: North Nolan Hatchery is named after him.

Jennifer Hale is the voice of Queen Jennah as well as the Sylvari Female. She has done countless works of voice acting it’s hard to keep track. She did the voice of Bastilla Shan, Satele Shan as well as the female trooper voice in SWTOR. She also is Fem Shep for mass effect.

Catherine Taber is the voice actor for Countess Anise. She is very prominent in Star Wars, more notable her roles in Clone Wars animated series as well as Mission in Knights of the Old Republic.

Troy Baker who does Logan has been in countless things it’s hard to say, much like Jennifer Hale and Steve Blum.

As people already mentioned Felcia Day is Zojja, as well as Steve Blum is Rytlock.

I nerd out over voice acting…

Troy Baker is pretty famous for his work on localizing games, he did Kanji in Persona 4 if anyone’s played that

a lot of the human NPCs (some of the random ministers and merchants) are also voiced by Yuri Lowenthal, who is pretty famous for his dubbing of Simon the digger from Gurren Lagaan (he also did Yosuke from Persona 4 and was the MC in Persona 3)

But yeah the voice acting in this game is pretty good, the writing itself is somewhat inconsistent so some of that acting brilliance is lost. But overall, I’ve enjoyed the acting in this game, Trahearne still needs to go away forever though.

“CLAWRL ISLAND.”

At least it’s…remotely authentic British…? (Not sure who voices him.)

An English actor voices him. He’s done some stuff in Eastenders.

I don’t know the names, but was wondering the other day if one of the voice actors for male sylvari NPC’s was the same as one of the voice actors for some of the NPC’s in Rift. At least for me it’s close enough that when I go up to them in GW2 I find myself half the time expecting him to say “An Ascended! Consider my interest piqued.”

edit bumped because I didn’t want to start a new topic.

No idea if she counts as a prominent video game vocalist per se, but Claudia Christian (aka Susan Ivanova from Babylon 5) voices the female Norn player characters.

CHLORE ISLAND!

’nuff said.

That is awesome! I had no idea she was behind that voice. Love B5.

By the way, I was recently playing Metalgear Solid 4, and I noticed several voice actors that have also voiced characters in GW2. Fred Tatasciore, who did the voice of the Mad King, also did the male voice of Crying Wolf. And of course again Jennifer Hale.

Paul Eiding who voices Roy Campbell is in GW2, too.

He references MGS.

He voices the Vigil mentor, by the way.
