So I’ve been wondering for a while now who did the voice acting for Male Sylvari and Arlon and I actually posted a thread on it but nobody was able to give answers. However, I found out today who it is by searching IMDB.

AND GUESS WHAT….

Some characters bear strong resemblances to how the real life actors/actresses who voiced them look like.

MIND. BLOWN.

Okay so let me show you:

Caithe: http://www.imdb.com/media/rm3575884544/nm1312566
Arlon: http://www.imdb.com/media/rm78287360/nm0283594
Male Sylvari : http://www.imdb.com/media/rm916043008/nm1422365
Male Asura: http://www.imdb.com/media/rm119046912/nm0134269
Queen Jennah: http://www.imdb.com/media/rm3062412544/nm0354937
Professor Gorr: http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1058056448/nm1290815
Tybalt: http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2828057088/nm0911616
Rytlocke: http://www.imdb.com/media/rm735741184/nm0089710
General Soulkeeper: http://www.imdb.com/media/rm3124541440/nm0846834

I dunno if it’s just me but I can totally see the resemblance. Of course you have to stretch your imagination a bit (like imagining them in a different skin color or having fur, or having no facial hair, etc), but I literally compared them side by side with google search screenshots of character models in game and there really IS a strong resemblance.

Also, you’d never guess who voiced Zojja (yes, I may be late to the story but I learned about this just today): http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1477870592/nm1260407

Bonus:
Turns out Mr. Sparkes is hot: http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2271523328/nm1232261

Huh. I can actually sort of see where you’re coming from.

I think the designs were conceptualized before the VAs came in, though. Mind you, it’s actually really common for characters in cartoons/films/videogames to reflect the appearance of their voice actors.

Ehhh… I think you’re projecting. Take Caithe for example, her face is convex while her VA’s face is concave. Still nifty to see the VA’s tho.
