My vote goes to Steve Valentine as Alistair. So many of the voice actors did such a great job, but to be that consistently stellar over such a sheer amount of dialogue is indicative of true talent.
Aye, the guy has so much talent - check out his Wiki page.
This dude invented the word, 'average'.

I checked the thread but couldn't find Sten anywhere, surprising. Ofcourse he isn't a chatty character but what little he says shows his point of view perfectly and sounds so perfectly heavy. He is unique in DOA since everyone else in this world is a walking chatterbox and he can answer in single words, like the way he growls "No." I looked up the voice actor doing Sten, Mark Hildreth, he's only 30 years old. Talented guy for sure.
Leliana's voice (Corinne Kempa) is also a favourite. So sexy. It's not an exaggerated super-french accent (wich would be the obvious choice and unsexy) but subtle and characteristic with that slight lisp. I've listened to all her stories lol

Alistair - I was happily surprised when i found out Steve Valentine was in DA:O, he did a great job at his witty comments and sarcasm.
Leliena -
Loghain - Brilliant character in general, even though i would refuse him as a companion.
In fact, come to think of it, they all deserve a worthy mention.

Also Alistair and Shale are both close seconds...
The rest of the voice work is excellent... even Leliana... though after a certain point I realized that as sexy as that french accent is... it gets old... fast.

Shale's voice was generally very enjoyable and well done, obviously helped by strong and amusing writing.
Claudia Black deserve an honourable mention for making a dishonourable character quite compelling, although I was thrown off by some of the emphasis. I would put that down to difficulties in recording/direction in the studio.
Alistair was a more understated character who while never really impressing me did have an incredible cumulative effectiveness in creating a believable and likeable personality. So that's who I'm going with.

Steve Valentine, hands down; I stopped imagining the actor altogether when he performed as Alistair. And if you've watched Crossing Jordan so many bloody times on TV reruns, that's a hard feat to accomplish
This, definitely... loved his character on that show. I was thoroughly impressed with most of the voice acting in the game, though. Flemeth, Loghain, Howe, Bryce & Elanor Cousland, Leliana, Morrigan, Sten, Shianni, Oghren & Gorim, just to name a few.
EDIT: Isolde too.

Hearing clips of the English version sounds quite odd to me now - almost overacted in comparison, since - because I can't make out the details of the German (accent, stress etc.) -most things in that sound quite muted.

Hespith definitely gets my vote for best voice acting of a minor NPC.
First day they come, and catch everyone...
That's my fav also. Sounds a bit like Sigourney Weaver, very scary.

Claudia Black...because I was a HUGE Farscape fan when I was a teenager!
Steve Valentine...he suits Alistair to a tee! Innocent, yet with a sense of purpose...
Steve Blum...but I think he should have been a elf or a mage instead of a Dwarf...that and I think all Dwarves should speak with Scottish accents. Gimli from LOTR set the bar pretty high, I confess!
Simon Templeman...he even looks like Loghain!

Claudia Black comes a close second <3
I liked Steve Blum (Oghren and Gorim, no?) pretty much too. Asschabs!
All in all, all of the main voice actors were wonderful :3 All!

Morrigan rankled at times. Too many "tis's" for my liking, I found her extremely patronising. But I guess that's a compliment to a great job from the actress playing her. I'm not a fan of Shale either, for almost the same reason but in addition the character didnt fit well in the world. Where were the gasps of awe when you walk into Orzammar with a golem, a creature they have lamented the loss of for eons?! I'm glad I passed on Stone Prisoner in my first play-through and won't bother doing that again.
To finish on a high note, I'm going to give an honourable mention to the (unknown to me) actor who did the voice of Riordan. I think he got the "Orlesian raised in Highever" accent down to a tee. Master Ignacious (sp?) also had a wonderfully seductive tone that I could listen to for hours.
