It's really cool to see Gareth David-Lloyd taking such an interest in Solas. I didn't really expect him to react that much. Definitely a pleasant surprise. It seems like he's giving the character more attention than most voice actors have. 
It makes the annoying LI situation slightly easier to swallow for now. >__>
Of course of course, Kirie! I posted those so that all of us may ask several! ^^
Perfect, thank you! 
They are all great questions by the way ^^
Aw, thank you! And we'll make sure to use it since you worked to come up with it, BlueFlame! ^^ Let's hope we get a response to several questions and not just one. I'm sure he'll get many others but I am also positive that he will see and be happy about all of the enthusiasm for Solas.
It definitely is a surprise as they're mostly on the DL, I expected him to have just tweeted about it when it was announced and maybe enjoy it but not be so excited about it. It's really refreshing and makes us even more excited for his work. Little things like this make the wait pretty bearable.
Nice questions
11. Did past characters that you acted as help you capture Solas' character more easily or did you feel like you were playing a character unlike your past roles?
12. What tone do you find yourself using when you voice Solas? Is it something of a "matter-of-fact" or "I've seen it all" tone in his voice or something else entirely.
Let's see if we can indirectly get a hint as to whether he is a romance. Here's my indirect question.
13. Is Solas a lady's man or a man's man?
Best I can come up with...
I don't have Twitter, but for people asking questions, I would recommend trying to ask more questions relating to him as opposed to strictly about Solas. Things like "Will you play DAI?" and "How is voice acting different from being on-camera?" I just think that he will appreciate people taking an interest in his job, and answering those sorts of questions. People love talking about their jobs! 
That's not to say don't ask questions about Solas, it's just that he probably won't be able to answer much, and I think it would be nice to acknowledge being interested in him as a person/actor as opposed to Solas as a fictional character. And of course being kind and polite, etc., etc., goes without saying.
EDIT: And might want to shy away a bit from the LI questions... I'm going to guess he gets overwhelmed with similar questions with Torchwood, and it might be better to give him a break. I think we can assume he's not allowed to answer, anyway.
Just my 2 cents. Ok, back to lurking...

Ooo~, perhaps what class he likes to play? Assuming he does, in fact, play.
in addition to that tweet of gdl's, remember he's going an all day Q&A on twitter tomorrow!
Yay!! I was resigned to no new stuff! But then this happened! yay, solas thread 
Got another one.
Do you do certain things like quick vocal exercises or some other activity to capture your role's voice before voicing your characters or do you go in and keep saying the lines until they sound right?
Hello Solas thread. I found Sake.

It is. Whenever you take any painkiller for a headache, always have some caffiene with it. It helps the medication become more effective. I get migraines, and I always take my migraine meds with a coffee.

Yeah, we'll ask questions about both! I think it's as nice for an actor to be acknowledged for his person as for his work, and to have a particular role that he put a lot of work into go noticed and appreciated.
He definitely won't answer LI questions though, unfortunately. I would've added one but with the tight hold from the marketing team + what he said in his video message, we can guess that he's being very cautious about what he can and can't say.

Most likely not. No doubt though that somebody on twitter will probably ask if he is a LI anyway. I would laugh if the writers told him that if he ever gets asked that question, he should respond with "Soon..." or "It's more complicated than that."

Well... You know that Facebook relationship choice: It's complicated.
Hmmm..
Hello Solas thread. I found Sake.
Now we just need some kahlua and you can have my favourite drink!
Spirits might help too.
COLE: Did someone ask for a spirit?
SERA: [MAKES FACE]
VARRIC: Aaaah, not... your kind of spirit, exactly.
COLE: [WILTS] Oh, that's... Okay.
THE IRON BULL: Wait, wait wait. Cole, hold on. Take a seat!
COLE: [SMILES]
SERA: [GLOWERING] [MUTTERS] Bull, do you have to--
THE IRON BULL: [UNDER HS BREATH] I wonder what a spirit on spirits would look like?
VARRIC: [STARING] Inky will kill us.
SERA: [ASIDE] Think of the book you could write about it.
VARRIC: [BLINKS] [GRINS] Let's do it.
Later...
VARRIC: If we said we're really sorry, can we not get yelled at?
MERRYN TREVELYAN: [RED-FACED] NO.
SOLAS: Perhaps you should first apologize to Cole, and then take him around to apologize to Ser Cullen for the disruption of his duties, and then to each and every soldier whom was affected by Cole flooding the barracks.
COLE: [GROGGY] Sera said the barracks were always d-dirty...
SERA: [SLOUCHES]
MERRYN: I need to go take a breath outside before I blow something up. [STORMS OFF]
THE IRON BULL: [UNREPENTANT SMILING]
SOLAS: Bull, perhaps you could help in the kitchen. I hear all the pots fell out of their cabinets.
THE IRON BULL: [POUTS]
Nothing is worse than finding out 10+ hours into a playthrough that an option you were going for is unavailable, and you already locked yourself out of another choice; Forever Alone playthroughs ain't my bag.
That happened to me in Baldur's Gate 2. I was so sure Haer'Dalis was a romance just by his portrait and voice and took him everywhere... then he started flirting with Aerie. I was crushed when I found out the pompous windbag that every other party member hated was the romance.
Man, I missed everything! Was spending all day painting and I come to this thread and I see that video and....what is this beauty? *starts breathing in a paper bag*
Thank you, Mademon. I barely knew anything about GDL before and now....I am a fan, flailing about happily like Kermit the frog. There's something about the guy that makes me smile. It gives me an even greater hope of the awesomeness of Solas (not that I doubt).
BTW, if you wanted to know what I was painting it was actually Vivenne but...maybe I should do a Solas portrait next. Hmmm?? *strokes imaginary beard*
BioWare better have given him the okay to talk romance, and finally shed some light either way. And if they haven't, I fully expect the lot of you to be sneaky and crafty and get him to spill the beans.
I have faith in you all.
I'm really bad at asking questions on Twitter. I get so nervous but also want to get the person's attention without seeming like I'm desperate so I ask random nonsense. The last time I tried, the only question I tweeted was, "What is your favorite dinosaur?"
On one hand, I was like "No wonder he didn't answer me."
On the other, I seriously wanted to know.
Solas pulls up to the Inquisition on his motorcycle and dusts off his black leather jacket while putting out his cigar on his own hand.
"Heard you were dealing with the giant hole in the sky. I could take care of it myself but I figure you've gone through all the trouble to be here. I might as well let you help a little bit."

Did Cullen's VA ever get in trouble? Does anyone know?
