Personally I think spending money on 'famous' voices is wasteful. There are lots of excellent actors available who wont cost a fortune.Multiples of them can be hired for the price of one 'star', and more time can be spent in rehearsals and studio to get it right.

Another well known game of a few years ago blew its entire voice talent budget on a couple of high profile actors and had about six third class actors do all the other voices in the game. You know the game I am talking about; and those of you who played it know just how immersion spoiling it was that every female nord sounded exactly alike...and as if she was sitting in a sound booth in a cheap studio.

I am a new player and so far I am very impressed with the voice acting and production in Dragon Age.

Getting the voice acting right does not require high profile and expensive actors...IMO.

Flirting with typecasting: Does anybody remember Curry's "Darkenss" character in Ridley Scott's Legend? He'd make a terrific Darkspawn leader.

I wouldn't know how to pick voice actors without knowing the game. You can't cast an actor until you have a part and know what you need. Then you pick the best actor for the part, not the most famous one. Lots of movies/films/tv would be vastly improved if producers/execs let the directors do the casting instead of pushing a 'big name.'

That's pretty much killed the movie industry, IMO. Hollywood has become utter crap.

If I was forced to watch another movie with Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Nicholas Cage, Jennifer Aniston, George Clooney, or any of these other Hollywood wankers I would probably bash myself over the head. They all suck.

I know Howe *meets his fate* in Dragon Age but I would like to see his voice actor Tim Curry to come back in some role in the sequel, assuming there will be one (I don't know if it's been confirmed or not). I enjoy listening to him speak and I've always been a fan of his work.



Also I would like to see Nathan Fillion do some voice work in DA:O 2. He's pretty hilarious, I could see him as some sort of companion character, maybe.

Bruce Campbell, just for the hell of a Warrior saying in his most unique voice "Good, bad, I'm the guy with the sword/axe"

I want the chin slider to go from 0 to 100% to BruceCampbell.

Oh heck, just have a Bruce Campbell preset.

I agree, please do this.

Toby Longworth - listen to him reading 'Matter' by Iain M Banks.  It's awesome.
Dervla Kirwan - except it would make all UK players want to run out and buy custard.
Hermione Norris - the tough lass from "Spooks" in the UK

And still manage to make a buttload more money than you do, huh? LOL, just sayin'.

Owner of the coolest voice in the world: Michael Wincott. Jim Parsons from the Big Bang Theory would be cool as well, maybe as a know it all elf. Others: Kevin Conroy, Mark Hammill, Alex Fernandez (Seymour from FFX), Malcolm McDowell, Billy Zane, Jeremy Irons, Frank Welker (simply because hes the God of VO), Hugo Weaving, Jennifer Hale(who can't be too hard for Bioware to get ), and for comedies sake, John Moschitta.

James Marsters: Definitely

Hugh Laurie

Steve Valentine

Claudia Black

Also bring back Mercedes McCambridge...

[TheRealIncarnal]

I definitely would crack a smile if I recognized the voices of Nathan Fillion, Ian McKellen, Neal Patrick Harris, or Felecia Day.



Heck, just give me anyone who I have warm fuzzy memories of from good media.

[ciaweth]

Brandon Keener kthxbye.

[Long Lankin]

Sir Ian McKellan

David Tennant

Joanna Lumley

Alan Rickman

Felicity Kendall

Brian Blessed

Tom Baker

Rutger Hauer

[affandi]

God rest his soul, the monumental Tony Jay in whatever role would have been deemed fit for him.

Brother Genitivi's voice was good, but for some reason I picture Sir Derek Jacobi in that role.

And for humour, what if Omar Sharif was a narrator's voice in the game?

I second that: Brian Blessed at the Landsmeet as the mad King Richard IV

[twjohnston0659]

Daniel Craig, Ian McKellan, Ewan McGregor and Eva Green.

I've heard very good suggestions, but there is one name that didn't get enough of a mention:



Michael C. Hall





Outstanding actor. Really, any of the cast from Dexter would do such a good job, all amazing actors/actresses.

There's not a prayer of getting him for a job like this, but it'd be hilarious to have him as a "blood" mage.

I'd love to see Felicia Day and Sandeep Parikh get parts based on their characters in The Guild -- a wayward mage and his befuddled keeper from the Chantry.

Or, if EA could afford 'em and staying Felicia-Day-themed, Neil Patrick Harris and Nathan Fillion. As the new love interests -- I can dream, right?

[GM23]

Personally I'd like to see Mark Hamill as a villain. He was so good as Joker in Arkham Asylum. We could use a twisted villain reminiscent to that character.

Nathan Fillion!  I could absolutely see (hear?) him voicing the part of a companion.  Perhaps a resolute dwarf, as they all seem to have American accents?
