Guild Wars 2

I would like to request that we have during character creation some pitch options to effect the character’s voice. Since all the recording of the lines has been done already it would be unreasonable to ask for several voice options to be recorded and made available. However, you can implement a way to change the pitch/tone of the already recorded voice so that it sounds a bit deeper or higher. This would make me so happy if it were implemented. The default voice just does not match my main character’s face (or imagined personality) at all, and it’s disturbing every time she talks. It’s also getting a bit frustrating hearing the same female voice all over, and wondering if it’s my girl talking or someone else’s? For the time being I’ve resigned to just playing on mute and reading the cutscene lines.
Using a slider to control the pitch from high to low with the default location resting on the basic voice would work well. Having the character say a word or two in response to adjusting to the slider so you can determine if it fits her (and to double check that your face adjustments will actually look good animated later) would work really well I believe.

Indeed, you are right.
I believe this is possible for this game since it was fairly well done in Aion and several of the expanded character creation options we can see in Aion have been made available for Guild Wars 2. These options are my first reason for buying GW2 right away – I’m very much about character customization being able to fit whatever concept the player may think of and desire to play within the game world. Since there is a large emphasis on ‘personal story’, being able to adjust the voice closer to what you as the player are envisioning for your character would add so very much more to the immersion, and make your character much more dynamic, and more ‘yours’.

I agree.
My human is supposed to be about 12 years old. I designed him to look very young.
Yet every time he speaks, this big buff man voice comes out. It’s awful! I can’t bear to listen to it anymore, so I just mute it.

…Why do you want to play a 12 year old kid?
