Human Female Player Voice
The thing is, the voice actress actually can be very good. In my opinion, though, she sounds far too much like Sharon Marsh in GW2. Yes, it’s the same voice actress that does Sharon Marsh (among others), but it’s hard to take that particular tone and inflection seriously in GW2.
She has done other voices where it’s quite easy to take her seriously, and she has a completely different tone and inflection than the one she does for South Park. As an example, she also voices the female Dragonborn, as well as other additional voices, all of which I take quite seriously, in Skyrim. She also sings (and surprisingly well) in Skyrim – one of the bard voices is her.
Many of the voice actors in GW2 are actually very talented ones. I think the director for them, however, left a bit to be desired, because it’s odd how it’s just not as good in some cases as in other work. We have some big names here, too. Nolan North, Troy Baker, Tara Strong, ETC. Granted, some of them do well, imo, despite the voice direction (Troy Baker and Tara Strong being good examples, imo, of doing well despite it all).
So… Opinions.
I guess that is very true on this kind of topic.
By far, my favorite voice acting is from the female
human character, for a mesmer. I’ve only tried
mesmer and elementalist. The elementalist was
still good, but not as… “Likeable” as the mesmer
vocalizations.
I tried Jennifer Hales character for a bit, it was ok.
But not as fun for my ears as the female human character
voice acting. Which suprised me as I really like Jennifer
Hale in other roles.

Tara Strong and Troy Baker are in here too? Niiice. I’m also hearing Fenris (Dragon Age 2) a lot, as well.
Jennifer Hale, though? I could recognize her voice from the first syllable. As much as I love the Sylvari, she…doesn’t really do the best English accent. It slips a lot in cutscenes. That, and maybe I’m just so used to hearing her. I grew up watching Totally Spies (I know, I know…), and was pleasantly surprised to hear her when I started playing more video games.
