Well, now that you mention it...ewwwww.

But yeah, try to imagine hearing her speak directly into your ears at full volume with virtual surround sound. Yeah. It's...an experience.

What I find more jarring than her ear-spitting accent is that throughout the game I denied the chosen one bullshit and proclaimed my non-believing ways with every opportunity, and Mother G was like "Fair enough", but then, every time I go to speak to her she greets me with "ERRALD OF HANDRASTE!!!", like she's rubbing it in my face. So rude, that woman. But she took me to church with her impromptu musical number, so I'll give her that.

I'll think I'll borrow my partners head phones just to try this experiance ;d

I was amazed at Bianca's voice.  I just knew that voice from somewhere.  Turns out, I was right.  I was about halfway through Varric's mission when I looked up Laura Bailey.  I actually quit the game to come out of it and go look up her name.  She's credited with "other voices", but I know that was her.

Mother Giselle's voice drives me absolutely bonkers        

[loungeshep]

Gotta say, Kate Mulgrew really nailed it.   I mean, after her scene with Morrigan and the Inquisitor, I was like 'she was so wasted on Voyager.'

 

 

So very much wasted.

[TheLittleBird]

Well, of course I'm going to go ahead and say Cole was the very best voice actor.
I don't know where BioWare finds all these people, but they're so great immensely great at it that it doesn't even matter. Revealing their secret would have other studios stealing the voice talent anyway. Cole's voice actor... was perfect. Absolutely perfect. I was worried for him, especially considering he's such a great character in Asunder and invokes a certain feeling or vibe that just has to be done justice with a perfect voice. Which is what was achieved right here. Brilliant.

 

I loved them all, though. Even Blackwall (a character I enjoyed the least out of the entire Inner Circle) had a VA that fit him very well. Sera's laugh is among the best this medium has ever seen; Vivienne's voice is one I could listen to the entire day; Josephine was incredible considering her VA's background... I could go on but everyone was simply amazing. 

 

I'm going to have to agree with the others, though, in saying that I did not like Mother Giselle's voice at all. Man, that sounded fake. And neither did I enjoy Briala's voice... but that could just be because it didn't match the expectations I had personally acquired after reading The Masked Empire.

I tried to explain that scene to a friend of mine who hasn't played the games but watches sci-fi TV: "Aeryn Sun just called Captain Janeway a bad mother and they both looked really hurt by it."

 

I also really enjoy their dialogue and acting between the two of them, because both Black and Mulgrew do a great job of affecting a similar speech pattern to one another, to really remind you that they are family.  Kinda similar to the subtle ways Cailan and Alistair had similar mannerisms.

[Endee]

Dorian's voice stands out as a favorite, the VA did a really good job with this character. Other notable favorites are Varric, Iron Bull (even though the accent slips at times) Josephine, Alistair and Cullen.

 

Sera's accent was annoying and kinda hard to follow without subtitles.

[Judas Bock]

The entire cast was phenomenal, as usual in BioWare games. If I were to pick a favourite, though, it would probably have to be a tie between Solas and Morrigan, with honourable mentions to Dorian, Flemeth and Cole.

 

Of the Inquisitor voices my clear favourite is the British male. That's definitely a voice I could just listen to for hours. I do like both American accents too, though. When it comes to Alix Wilton Regan's British female Inquisitor I will however have to go against many others in the thread and say that she's the weakest of the Quizzy voices. I have nothing against Alix, I love her as Traynor in ME3, but she just didn't do it for me as the Quizzy. It often felt like she was just reading the lines out without much emotion, it sort of reminded me of Mark Meer (male Shepard) in ME1 who was told to have a neutral voice largely void of emotion.

[SpiritMuse]

Forgot to shout out to my Brolas, Gareth David-Lloyd. Just wow.

Oh my holy askfjfklsfjsksd THAT is GDL?? I can not believe I didn't recognize him, I was such a huge fan of Ianto back in the day... *hangs head in shame*

(But then I didn't recognize Gideon Emery as Samson either even though I'd looked up that it was him back in DA2...)

I don't know if it's more noticeable when wearing headphones but she talks like she's got a mouthful of saliva. I find myself swallowing every time I hear her. Also, her accent bugs me like how Isolde's accent bothered me. It's too.....overly frenchy.
Leiliana's accent, in contrast, is gorgeous. I could listen to her read the phone book.

Oh god yes, Mother Giselle and her consumption. I too feel the need to clean out my ears every time I've had a conversation with her and I've had my headphones on (which is most of the time when I play). And the noise, so much mouth noise... *shivers*


The standout VA for this game for me has to be Dorian's. He's such a joy to listen to. Cullen's is also pretty nice. And Cole's VA does an excellent job of making him sound exactly as alien as he is. Really I like all of them. Video game voice acting has really grown up, hasn't it?

But is it just me or is the same guy voicing Stroud, Gaspard, and about 2/3 of the male Orlesian nobles? O_o

[Hydwn]

If IMDB is to be believed, he's just Stroud in DA3.  He also played Hubert (the terrible Bone Pit boss) in DA2, and Riordan in DAO.

 

(Reading the IMDB for voice actors is such a strange experience.  They can be some of the biggest names in cartoons and video games, and then all their live action roles make them sound like they were extras.)

[o Ventus]

I like almost all of them. Brian Bloom and Miranda Raison are great as always as Varric and Cassandra. Ramon Tikaram is pretty good as Dorian. Likewise, Nicholas Boulton and Jo Wyatt do fine work with male and female Hawke.

[London]

Leliana. Loved her voice since DAO and always the person I like talking to the most. And she wasn't even my love interest.

Second for me is Cassandra.

Josephine and Cullen were good. Sera did a good job with her material.

Dorian is extremely annoying to me. If that's what they are going for than his VA did well.

Iron Bull doesn't hold a candle to Sten. I haven't played DAO in years and his "No" and "we should move on" are still memorable.

 I hate hearing her speak with every fiber of my being

 

On another note, it seemed to me that male Hawke sounded better in this game than his awful VA in DA2

I know right! He did a banging job.

You can say that again.

[Pee Jae]

I love the whole cast. But, my two favorites are Laura Bailey (Bianca) and this dude right here. (Corypheus) Spoilers! Love his voice so much I had to make a video of it.

 

 

 

[KaiserShep]

Yeah that's such a great scene. I love the arrogant fool line at the end.

[Sekou]

In no particular order,

Jennifer Hale for Krem
Laura Bailey for Bianca/Dagna
Brian Bloom for Varric
FPJ for Bull
AWR
Cole's voice actor

[Pasta]

Ahh voices! One of my main concern when it comes to gaming. Voice is my vehicle for "feeling" the characters.

 

My favorite voice acting is James Norton as Cole. He's the reason I've become bewitched. (cheesy heh) The expression, stuttering, pitch changes, grunts and absolute adorableness is just perfect. I can't even--

 

Second would be Claudia Black as Morrigan. It's so melodic, the way she speaks and portray Morrigan's classy-ness; she nails it. I particularly enjoy it when she.. how do I say it.. rhymes the words like an ocean wave, (oh god) like--like uh, ok, she takes the first sentence rhyme, then brings it upwards, and then for the last line she emphasizes the context of the subject she's talking. I can't even--

 

And then there's Ramon Tikaram as Dorian. Hahah this guy, I just love him. Fits Dorian's personality, and it brings me deja vu somehow. His acting feels lively, his grunts during battle are sexy as hell, but he could use some more...rhyme variation though.

 

Overall I liked all of the companion's voices. I'm not really digging all of the Inquisitor voices TBH. Least liked is the American F!Inquisitor voice. It's the monotone and lack of expression that bothered me. Otherwise, 8.7/10 for voice acting in DAI.

[rubynorman]

Cassandra, Sera, Morrigan, Flemeth, Lelianna, Krem, Iron Bull ... everyone!!

Especially Sera's VA makes her charater very believable in game. Kudos for Jennifer Hale too.

[IainCD]

Like many others, I think the VA cast in this game is one of the best all round. Forced to pick favourites, I just love Claudia Black as Morrigan - I could listen to her voice for hours and be quite happy but then, I loved her as Aeryn Sun in Farscape too! I agree that all the companions are very good - stand outs for me are Dorian, Josephine, Vivienne (especially in banter) and Cassandra. Plaudits also to James Norton as Cole - its because of his delivery that I came to very much like a character I expected to dislike! I do look forward to romancing Cullen in a later playthrough to experience his softer side - that said, I thought Greg Ellis was very good indeed during the addiction subplot.

 

In smaller roles, I liked Gaspard, Alexius and Roderick (annoying but well delivered). Fiona's accent was weird but her voice was distinctive and I quite liked it - pity she pretty much disappeared as a character in the second half!

 

There were no VAs I actively disliked (even the more extravagant francophone ones) but I did find both Sera and Krem difficult to make out sometimes - they both talk quite quickly and, in Krem's case, quite quietly so I really struggled with their dialogue sometimes BUT it fits their characters. Also, it doesn't help when the VA has to compete with background noise - especially tavern singers (Sera in Haven).

[rda]

I loved Claudia Black in DAO. I still love her actual voice- I'm a sucker for a husky contralto.

But I'm going to go against the grain here and say I wasn't particularly impressed with her actual voice acting this time. She seemed to kind of phone in it. At times, when she read the lines, it actually seemed to me as though she was bored.

She did great in her scene with Flemeth/Kate Mulgrew. Other than that? Not really impressed.

(Don't stone me, please!)

[rda]

Also, was really impressed with Miranda Raison's Cassandra. I saw the interview with Raison and Raison sounds NOTHING like Cassandra. But her (made-up) accent never sounded silly or uneven. IMHO great work.

[JnEricsonx]

Cole, Dorian, hell, FPJ does a good job as Iron Bull, even though the voice/accent kind wavers.   Also, mad props to Jennifer Hale-not like she needs more, cause I didn't expect her to voice that character.  BUT, once you know it, listen again, and you hear her vocal pattern at the ENDS of sentences, or at least, some sentences you heard it a bit, but its only if you're looking for it, first playthrough, blew my mind.  Of course, Brian Bloom is awesome as this sadly more serious Varric, but he has to be, and no way in hell am I ever sacrificing Hawke, Varric has done nothing to deserve losing his best freaking friend.  And Cassandra is great.  I thought I was going to seriously hate her given how she gives Varric nothing but crap all through DA2 and early in DAI, and she never exactly starts, but her book quest with Varric made me laugh quite honestly.    And also on the subject of Cole, when you do his personal quest, and, he runs up to you and Solas literally BEGGING to be bound, I mean, that was a crazy emotionally intense VA scene, for that actor, and GDL as Solas.   Bioware never screws around with their char writing or VA IMHO.

[Mes]

Cullen. Cullen! CULLEN!       

 

Anyhoo I thought they ALL did a fabulous job, particularly the advisor VAs. The discussions around the war table always sounded great, like the people were all actually in the same room together having conversations/debates.
