I want Gideon Emery as Hawke or another prominent character. He's one of the best. He did an amazing job as Balthier in Final Fantasy XII and did a couple of voices for Mass effect and Dragon Age so it could be possible. I hope we'll know more when the trailer comes out. Fingers crossed!

i want hugh laurie...not possible i know but one can still dream

his voice is perfect for a sarcastic character

How about his best friend, Stephen Fry? He has a very pleasant voice and accent and he's done voice work in games before (LittleBigPlanet and Fable II). Not as Hawke of course, because he sounds much too kind, but I'd be excited as hell if he were in it.

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.

If you ever need a Jersey accent, look me up!

Sometimes some of the best voice acting comes from people who just voice act. I think its quite different than actual acting.



Off Topic though. I really loved Mr. Sheen doing the Illusive man. That was a perfect, perfect pick!

I loved Martin Sheen as Illusive Man, I'd love more Michael Sheen as Varric

Do we know anything more about the voice cast now that people have actually played the game at Gamescom?

I'm curious about the same thing. Will the cast be revealed any time soon? 'cause even if people 'think' they know the voice, it could be someone else sometimes... at least I should think so..

There you go Bioware the community has spoken give Matt Berry a job!



Farrtherrr!

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.

No offense to Jennifer Hale or the people who adore her, but oh, thank the gods! I felt her voice was just a bit too deep and manly for female Shepherd. I would like someone who is just a bit more feminine. And unlike other Robin Hoods, one who can speak with an english accent.

I hope Bioware got an actual voice actor rather than a celebrity to do the voice acting.



Let's face it, while all of us love our actors in the screen whether it is a pseudo-thief in a space ship, a druglord, or whatever, voice actors actually have been doing their job for years and are trained to do well for whatever part they are supposed to play.



Just food for thought, for all the people asking for 'X' celebrity.

Samuel L Jackson instantly adds 5,000,000 cool points to anything he does, be it voice acting, or simply acting.

I really, really, really want Omid Djalili to do some voice work for a Bioware game. His voice is just so freaking awesome. Bill Bailey would be amazing too.

Alan Tudyk is another one I'd love to see, or anyone from the Mighty Boosh.

[Faz432]

I reckon a few more Irish and Scottish accents, I think they add to the feel...not too many mind.

As much as I love the core group of bioware voice actors, I don't want to see someone they've used before as ManHawke or LadyHawke. It's one thing to go 'Ha ha that Admiral is Claudia Black, and that one was Loghain!' for a few minutes, and it's another thing entirely to listen to them for 40+ hours. I think using anyone from DA:O who isn't reprising their original role would be very repetitive.



I'd prefer a new voice that I can bond to as my Hawke character. I think it would break the suspension of disbelief to have that voice be someone who's easily recognizable.



My only requests? Please don't make LadyHawke too butch. I know that strong, powerful female leads often come across as such, but I'd love someone who could do fun a flirty as well as determined and courageous. I'm really tiered of people mistaking masculinity for strength.



And a sidebar to earlier comments- a note on fake sounding accents. My impressions is that yes, sometimes genuine accents can sound fake. Sometimes it's because we're used to a hollywood version of the accent which replaces what it actually sounds like with a 'wrong version' when we here it spoken correctly (I mean c'mon, Captain Picard is french? With an english accent? What are we, stupid?) And others (being an on-occasion actress myself) it's because voice talent is often taught two very important things- diction and articulation. Sometimes that comes across as forced or fake, but they're really just good at their job, which is part performance, part pronunciation.





...and sometimes it is a really horrible fake accent.

I think Zachary Levi of Chuck fame would make a good Elf, plus he would go someway towards completing Bioware's collection of Chuck actors. They've already used Adam Baldwin and Yvonne Stahovski afterall. Thinking about it I wouldn't mind hearing Joshua Gomez pop up either.

Hmm, you know, I was thinking, I wonder how much collusion BioWare have with Obsidian on a professional level? It occured, that while Alpha protocol didn't do too well, one of the things it was praised for was it's dialogue system, rather than simply a good/bad or paragon/renegade type affair, you had various options available to you, and were able to take different personality stances during conversation. The wikipedia pages explains it pretty well:

Alpha Protocol features numerous characters with whom to
interact. Conversations occur in real-time, giving the player a limited
amount of time to respond at key "decision points" during dialogue.[5] The dialog system in the game - known as the "DSS" or Dialogue Stance system[6]
- allows the player to choose from three different attitudes, or
"stances," when speaking to an NPC. Obsidian has said that these options
are based on the personalities of the "three J.B.'s": Jason Bourne of the Bourne Identity novels and films, James Bond of the eponymous film and book series, and Jack Bauer of the television series 24,
although the game itself does not use these names. During dialog
sequences, the player will be able to choose from options like
"professional" (Jason Bourne), "suave" (James Bond), and "aggressive"
(Jack Bauer), sometimes with a brief description of the dialogue choice
(such as "sarcastic") taking the place of the general stance. A fourth,
"action" dialogue choice is sometimes available, used to terminate a
conversation prematurely.[4]
Each NPC will react differently to these choices; one character might
be intimidated by an aggressive stance, but another character may find
an aggressive stance to be insulting or childish. While dialogue choices
will have some immediately noticeable consequences, many may not be
seen until much later in game.[7]
As each conversation is experienced once per playthrough, multiple
playthroughs will be required in order to experience all of the game's
content; while the game contains a total of approximately twelve hours
of cinematic sequences, a player will only experience around four hours
during any given playthrough.

Maybe they could use something similar for either Hawke in DA2. A gruff Hawke, a suave Hawke, a no-nonsense Hawke, a sensitive Hawke etc.

Though, I'm sure the possibility hasn't escaped the notice of BioWare, so I'll be interested to see what they eventually come out with.

Jennifer Hales doesn't have to be manly. Infact, she can sound really girly. She has a wide range. Too bad. But I understand the typecasting issue, where "DA2 = medieval ME2."

[sarahbalman]

I like Jennifer hale her voice is amazing!!!!

[upsettingshorts]

Jennifer Hale in Mass Effect 1 = Great, significantly better than Mark Meer.

Jennifer Hale in Mass Effect 2 = Consistently overacts to the point I can't take FemShep seriously and none of the female imports from ME1 I was looking forward to playing made it past Horizon. It was, in my opinion, the worst performance of her career that I've been exposed to. Just awful.

Her dialogue with Jacob takes the cake.

do we know who Hawke's voice is?

Plenty of people on the forum have been to the demo's have none of them been able to recognize it yet?

Occam brainwashed us all into thinking it's Nicholas Boulton. He played Bann Vaughn in DAO.
