Guild Wars 2

Am I right that the legendary Tara Strong (The voice of Purple Smartywings) is the voice of the Announcer for the Gauntlet?

Purple Smartywings

XD

This is EXACTLY what came to my mind too! I doubt it’s actually her though. I’m so glad someone else thought the same thing.

Most likely is. As soon as I heard the voice I asked my party “Is that Tara Strong?”. Also Queen Jennah’s voice actor sounds like the Sylvari female PC voice actor. I’m fairly certain her voice did not sound like that before but I haven’t heard her talk in a long time anyways. I only made 1 human character.

Ohh I thought that I just had just watched too much Tiny Equines of Mine.
Glad to know that other people think that it is Tara Strong’s voice, too.

Ah Jennifer Hale (happy sigh).
Sorry I am emotionally obligated to sigh happily towards her.
Tara Strong is awesome as well, she’s got really good range for all of the characters she’s voiced through the years.

Am I right in assuming Tara also voices the “Suspicious Figure”? My girlfriend noted that she sounds a lot like Purple Smartywings.

Someone needs to update her Wiki page then.

Really? Awesome! The announcer did sounded like Sari from Transformers Animated which Tara was the voice actress to that character.

It’s like the Jedi Consular male from SWTOR, and the human male in GW2 are the same voice actor. Made me very happy

Nolan North is a lot more people in this game than you’d think.

“Back for more~~!”

Good call—the asura announcer in the Crown Pavilion is indeed Tara Strong.

And Queen Jennah is indeed Jennifer Hale (who is also the Sylvari Female PC).

Mari Weiss – http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002985/
Oola / Captain Langmar / Livia

Me thinks Livia might be makin’ a comeback.

now all we need is Michelle Ruff.

I find it hard to believe you brought Tara Strong in just to voice the announcer for some temporary content. She’s a notable voice actress, must’ve cost some money.

What’re you up to?

Rainbow Sprint does have a point. Tara is famous like most voice actors can’t even dream to be.
Next you are going to hire John de Lancie, Tabitha St. Germain and Stephen Merchant (Wheatley, Portal 2).
I wouldn’t mind lol

Well they do have Steve Blum for Rytlock, so apparently that had the extra coin to go Strong.

Rytlock is a major character, showing up in the PS, dungeons, and most recently the LS. They’re definitely getting use out of him.

Really, I was right? Wow. That’s awesome that Tara Strong is in the game. It had been bugging me where I had heard that voice before, but then I realized it had to be Twilight Sparkle.

I had known about Queen Jennah and the female Sylvari. I love Jennifer Hale.

I recocnized the sylvari after played ME as a female character from 1→3. I’ve also heard voices of actors that voiced in many other games, one of the elderly voices I’ve heard was also in skyrim for example.

Bubbles

Underwater Living Story update CONFIRMED!

To quote NC: “(BLEEP)ing Bubbles!”

My 5 year old daughter is going to love this. I’ll have to have her listen to the announcer and see if she recognizes the voice. Yeah, so, my house is basically a My Little Pony shrine, and my 3 year old constantly sings the songs from the series. The price a guy pays for having all girls.

Now I just want a Necro NPC named Raven voiced by Strong.
It would fit the game very well.

Martin Kerstein.3071:

Tara Strong was also the voice of Bubbles from the Powerpuff Girls!

cough

Ok, back to the topic at hand ^^

She also does Twilight Sparkle from MLP. I heard this from a friend of course.

Martin just out of curiosity: Is the mysterious hooded sylvari (scarlet I guess) leading the attack voiced by the same actress than Countess Anise? There was a moment where both had near consecutive lines (with one quote from Rox in the middle) and they sounded really close to each other to me (only with the sylvari sounding more flirteous).

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh you don’t say.

I recall Tara Strong from Raven from Teen Titans and mostly from Final Fantasy X Rikku.

But god kitten she is annoying as the announcer simply because the sound files are constantly spamming one after another.

haha that’s awesome sauce :P

Pay her for 1 more sentence to warn the player it’s his turn

She’s also Presea from Tales of Symphonia, which is where I first came to know who she was, although I had heard her voice in stuff before. Oddly enough, Jennifer Hale was also in that game as Sheena.

Small world those voice actors have.

Jennifer Hale and Tara Strong. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Having recently rewatched Panty & Stocking recently, might I suggest hiring Jamie Marchi and Monica Rial sometime? Perhaps to play sisters?

I really like Tara Strong, but she always sounds like some combination of Raven and Timmy Turner, to me.

(I mostly like her for Presea in Tales of Symphonia… who sounded like Raven that occasionally was pretending to be Timmy Turner)

Yeah she uses the same voice for most characters. But that’s why it’s so easy to notice her.

“A friend”, of coooourse…
Nobody here watches MLP.
Nobody at all.

Tara is also Omi, the Xiaolin Dragon of Water, of Xiaolin Showdown, for the people that still remember that wonderful show.

That’s right. No one at all…

Timmy Turner.

Who is the voice actress for the suspicious figure that Rox tries to shoot? She has a really sweet voice.

Tara Strong as well I believe.

I admit I love it when Canadian voice actors are cast anywhere. Makes me feel back at home!

Martin Kerstein.3071:

Tara Strong was also the voice of Bubbles

Underwater Elder Dragon’s name confirmed

So, the best question is: If I want to make a Sylvari Female based on FemShep, which Order do I go with that’s closest to the Alliance and possibly the Specter?
Vigil seems the most likely.

Though she does a respectable Harley, I still loved the original (Arleen Sorkin) more.
But she retired from it and Tara is a fine successor to the crown—-er mask, you know what I mean.

Arleen Sorkin is married to Christopher Lloyd. +1 to awesome.

Nice, I loved his work on Frasier.
But that isn’t Christopher “I was FROZEN TODAY” Lloyd, to which I just found out earlier.
