No it is not. 15Charr

It sounds like the voiceacting was modelled after the Movie LOTR: The Fellowship of the Ring. The Offvoice from the beginning of the LOTR-movie and the soundeffect from the Scene with the Elvenqueen Galadriel as the dark Queen.

>.> I mean this in the nicest possible way but please don’t compare Cate Blanchett’s AMAZING performance with a video game voiceover trailer. Not to say that the voiceover is in any way bad – but rather that nothing compares to Cate Blanchett.

Where did i say that it was on the same Quality-level? I just said that they were going for the same effect.

Just some info:

The trailer was voiced by Julie Nathanson
IMDB
Twitter

Lisa Carter did the pale tree.

I think what they were going for was to mimic the very first cutscene in GW1, when the unidentified woman tells of beautiful Ascalon on its final day before the searing blows it up.
I caught the similarities pretty quick and sqeed a little bit, i knew right from the beginning music that Lion’s Arch was gunna get gone!

I wonder who this character is supposed to be, it has an ethereal almost ghostly quality to it, perhaps Dwayna?

All we can do is guess, I doubt Arena Net will tell us.

I’m thinking it’s Dwayna, or even perhaps…Mordremeth herself?

It isn’t anyone.
It is a trailer narration – it exists outside the diegesis of the game. The effect put on the voice is for atmosphere. It is not an in game character, but rather a narration that has been styled to fit with the tone of the content.

Zayd, the narrator in GW1’s first cutscene was Devona – the hero who follows you around for the whole game.

Aedelric – Dwayna is a no no. The Gods have left Tyria and have next to no interaction with it’s inhabitants.

Mordremoth is also a no no. We have never heard an Elder Dragon speak and it’s quite possible they cannot. Also they are “its” rather than he’s or she’s.
