As the gaming industry grows, the quality of voice actors has seemed to go up. Years ago I would have never thought it possible for a game to have the likes of Patrick Stewart or Wayne Newton in a game. But now, many actors who no longer star in A list movies are opting for video games. I would like to see who the community would want as a new VA for ME3. List your top 5 and I'll try to put the most recurring ones up. Please only list ones that would be very possible to get (so no actors who are still acting all the time in large budget movies. Also I couldn't see a person like Clint Eastwood doing voice actingPosted Image). Please also say what role that character would play.

1.) Liam Neeson- I've thought he would make a good squadmate voice but seeing as though that won't happen I can only imagine him playing a officer type NPC where he assists you on a mission with "a particular set of skills, skills he has aquired over a very long career" maybe as a Kirrahe type role (leading another team). He would have to be human. www.spike.com/video-clips/gg73js/taken-theatrical-trailer    <---- Taken trailer.

2.) Hank Azaria- Seeing as how Mass Effect 3 will be taking place on Earth for a lot of the story, I'm assuming that Bioware will need many more humans. Azaria can pull off almost any accent imaginable from Comic Book geek to Frenchman (part of the game does take place in Canada) to Englishman. BW said they wanted the game to be funnier yet darker and Hank would sure help in the funnier department.
 and  
And if not Azaria, Geoffrey Rush and Ben Stiller or basically everyone from MM, the most underrated movie ever.

3.) JK Simmons- I was extremely suprised to see him in Portal 2 where he has some of the greatest lines in video games. He was FANTASTIC in Spiderman as Jameson. He has that loud leader type voice and would make an excellent center for an important sidequest (like a loyalty mission) in an Anoleis type role. Also would be great comic relief. www.youtube.com/watch

4.) Tony Shalhoub- From his awesome job in the TV show, Monk, to his scenes in the MIB, Tony Shalhoub has been impressing me for a while now. Hell he even plays Luigi in Cars, my favorite character. He has also been in several video games (The original Fallout and several Car tie ins). This makes him a perfectly viable candidate for ME3. IMO he would make a great Salarian, especially since more of them will be needed if their homeworld is to appear. He could be a main one. He can be funny and also really serious.

5.) Steve Buscemi- The ultimate Salarian voice. Just listen to him and you will see what I'm talking about. www.youtube.com/watch




HONORABLE  MENTIONS!!!!!!!

Ted Levine and Jason Grey Stanford. Great pair, possibly turian and human respectfully. www.youtube.com/watch

The voices of Sergeant Stacker and Johnson.

Patrick Stewart. I would have had him in the top 5, I just don't think he would join the cast.


Well, put your own 5 now!Posted Image

Morgan Freeman would be epic. I wonder if he would do a video game voice?

I think the better question is if Bioware would even be able to afford him! :lol:

Mark Hammill would make for a pretty awesome Batarian/salarian terrorist, with that joker laugh and all...

I think he said he would no longer do VA. Maybe that was just for the Joker.

MIchael Ironside would be totally epic.

Ioan Grufford would also be great. He has a kind of soft, resonating voice I think would go great a turian.

And Clive Owen. Definitely Clive Owen.

George Clooney (if you can afford him.)

Christopher Walken. I don't care what role he has as long as he says this about Shepard.
Warning: NSFW language

Steve Buscemi as a Salarian would be orgasmic. Of course when I first played ME1, I had thought he might be Kirrahe.

Ellen McClain as any omnipresent sinister female voice. She's amazing as GlaDOS and as the Announcer in Team Fortress 2.

GlaDOS is pretty awesome, not going to lie. I hope BW sees some of the suggestions here and adds at least one of the actors to the roster.

I believe it was the Joker, as he's currently doing some VA for some Cartoon Network and Adult Swim series.
