Does anyone know what is up with Kal'Reegar's voice actor? Is he secretly human or something, because every Quarian VA uses Tali's accent except him. The performance is incredibly dull, lacks any nuance, and it sounds like the VA just couldn't be bothered to put on a fake accent of any sort. Most of the human characters sound less American than him!

Adam Baldwin, you didn't watch the cast video I assume? As to his performance it was pretty average but good considering that that was probably his first voiceover job.
Quarians have varied accents, they aren't all eastern-european sounding, guess it depends on the ship.

Are you kidding me? That's Adam Baldwin. His voice has a personality of it's own.

Really? I knew Adam Baldwin was in the gane, but not which character he was playing or that it would somehow suck this badly.

His performance was fine and as said before, not all Quarians have that accent 3 of the Admirals do not either.

If you know who he is, then how could you possibly not know it was him when he spoke? As you said, it's not like he was disguising his voice. I thought he did a pretty good job. Didn't have his usual humor about him, but the situation was kind of serious for cracking jokes...

He have done voicecover for Halo 3, Halo:ODST, Kill Switch and Half-Life 2: Episode Two. But only minor roles tho. Maybe some more, but thats the ones i know. I my self really liked him in ME2. :happy:

Claudia Black voiced one of the female Admirals, forgot to name.
Would recognise Morrigan's voice anywhere.

He's in the show Chuck as a main character alongside Yvonne Strahovsky (Miranda), and he was also a main character in the awesome (yet cancelled) Firefly and the accompanying movie 'Serenity.'

i though he did a great job it was nice to hear him again, and not all quarians have accents. If they wanted his voice different then bioware would have edited it i am sure or gotten another voice actor.

There are a couple of Quarian that dont share the standard Quarian accent, which makes sense. To say all Quarians have the same accent would be like saying everyone from the UK has the same accent.

Because I expected Adam Baldwin to have a cool role that didn't break my suspension of disbelief. Because I expected the voice director to prep Adam Baldwin so his awesomeness would not be tarnished by a glaring continuity error. Because I expected BETTER of Adam Baldwin! Because THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!!

Indeed, but they still would a UK accent of some sort. Ada m baldwin doesn't even remotely sound like anything aside from a redblooded Midwestern American.

I'm 100% sure I recongise Koris voice from another recent game, I just can't quite place it. part of my brain insists Howe from Dragon Age but I have a hard time believing Tim Curry wouldn't be credited

British-sounding ones on the Admiralty Board, American (Midwestern, I would say) from that one credit-chit one on the Citadel, East Coast American from the Ilium Quarian (unless I'm terribly mistaken), Adam Baldwin as Kal'Reegar, the "Mommy loves you" Quarian (also American or Canadian sounding to me) from the log on the Alarei...
Even the fact that Tali's accent is sort of Eastern European, and Raan is Iranian (she's even played by an Iranian VA).
I would not go so far as to try to say there is a distinct 'Quarian accent', as everything points to the alternative.

Given his dialogue, I think his accent fits. Talking about the embarassment of dying on the battlefield from an infection just wouldn't have sounded quite the same in Tali's accent.

I thought he was great, and it didn't take me out of the game. Why should Quarians only have one accent? Were you distracted by Miranda's accent in comparison to Ashley's? The small sample we have met may have a similar accent to the likes of Tali, but it doesn't mean there aren't differences.

Quarians have many different accents because each ship is like a nation unto itself.

Would i be possible that different accents begin to develop on different ships? It doesn't take long for sperate groups to develop different accents.
Take into account that Quarians spend different amounts of time on Pilgrimage as well. A person that lives in America for the early parts of thier life and teen years will eventually start developing an accent if he moved to the UK for a long time.

How could you not like his character? I think he did a great job just because he didn't have an accent doesn't mean he shouldn't have been a Quarian. There are like 4 in the game that don't. Also if you go to other parts of the world not everyone will sound the same even if they live in the same country so get over it.
