I'm assuming, given Hawke is going to be set-character, that the dialogue/voice system and such is going to be handled much the same way as in Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2. Mainly the player picking a response and the PC saying the lines.

And also assuming that BioWare will be providing at least a modicum of customisation (and gender selection, hopefully) as they say. It only serves to speculate as to who the voice actors are going to be.

As a suggestion: I think you should look up Mr. Nathan Fillion again for the lead male role. I believe he's worked with BioWare before, playing the woefully underused Gao the Lesser in Jade Empire. And personally, I can think of no other actor better suited. From what I've seen of him, he's quite adept at playing heroic characters or villainous characters, and seems perfect to play a PC that changes depending on the player's whim.

For the female Hawke, I had to think a bit on it, I don't know if BioWare plans to use the wonderful Ms. Jennifer Hale again, although I doubt it given her role as Cmd.Shepard. Then I think, why not Sheena Easton? I think back and remember her work as Annah in Planescape Torment, and think she'd make a great Hawke.

Still, just a thought anyhow. I'm sure this kind of thing has already been dealt with.

Nolan North!

I loved him in Uncharted 2.

Sadly I don't know how he does for English accents. The problem with American actors like him and, say, Nathan Fillion is that if you hired them they either have to sound like themselves or... they'll sound like someone who's trying on an English accent, and maybe sound completely different from the reason you wanted them in the first place. I mean, my nerd-crush on Nathan Fillion knows no bounds-- but can you picture him doing an English accent?

I guess we could always make him an elf. But I dunno.

I want genuine English people doing
it. No more of that "what's goin on ere gov'ner" **** pulled by a lot of
npc voice actor's trying to be English. No matter how good they are at
voice acting, American's cannot pull off any British accents well
enough. Their forced accents either sound like the Queen or the Artful
Dodger and I don't want either of those for Hawke

This is why we do the majority of our voice recording in England. With real, genuine English actors (well... some of them are Scottish or maybe Irish, I don't think we're picky). Steve Valentine is an English actor working in LA, of which there are a few (thankfully). But those "fake accents" you're referring to are, 99% of the time, quite real, thank you.

People don't think you're a real animator? That's gotta suck.

I'm french and the people who said that Leliana's accent was obviously faked drove me nuts. I tried to disprove them and said it sounded real, yet apparently I have no experience with it and that my own french accent is completely and totally wrong.

Corinne Kempa was perfect for Leliana, being a Parisian who had relocated to London. And the lisp is adorable. I think people just tend to have a knee-jerk suspicion regarding accents-- especially since European accents have such distinct regional variations. A "French" accent is as much a misnomer as an "English" accent, after all.

David, Mary, have you guys already decided on who will voice each Hawke?

Of course. That person has to do 10x the voice recording of any other character-- more, probably, as they have lines in almost every single dialogue. We went through a few tries before we found the actors that hit the right note, but yet-- we do indeed have all our Hawkes in a row.

Is Jennifer Hale doing the female Hawke?? Jennifer Hale!

No, Jennifer Hale is not doing the female Hawke voice. While I like Jennifer Hale's voice, she does the female Shepherd and I think using her for the PC again would be a bit too much repetition.
