Who's Your Favorite Voice Actor?

[Roan]

Normally, I blow through dialogue pretty quickly. I read much faster than most voiceovers go, and even though there were a few good performances in My Time at Portia, overall they just didn't quite do it for me. When it comes to Sandrock, however, even during early access I was so impressed with a few of the performances given that I decided to slow down and actually listen to each line of dialogue for my first playthrough.

So far, I think my favorite voiceover has to be Owen's. There's so much authenticity to it; varying levels, varying speeds, and little imperfections that really add up to bring him to life. A few of my other favorites are Justice, Matilda, Arvio, and Amirah... But there's really no shortage of talent. Everyone did a really great job, and there's only a very few performances I actually *didn't* like.

What are other people's favorite voiceover performances in MTAS?

Whoever did Matilda feels very professional. She has the right voice for her character, the accent doesn't feel too much (unlike Elsie and Arvio), and her charisma as a leader is self-evident in her voice so it makes sense how she got where she is at the start of the game. And there's that little touch of condescension. She just sounds correct.

Zeke was striking to me just because I thought he was the same voice actor who did Asterion the Minotaur from Hades. Is he? I keep expecting him to call me "short one."

Unsuur is so funny. His deadpan voice goes so well with the absurd things he says.

The thing that amuses me most is that a lot of Sandrock's VA's do more than one voice. Most, eventually, I get, but one stood out as unexpected funny.

I honestly love every one of the voice actors except Catori. It's not that I dislike Catori's voiceovers, I just don't quite like them, if that makes sense. To me, her voice just doesn't quite match the character and the "accent" seems to change a lot; sometimes it's almost New York-ish, sometimes its almost midwest flat-ish. I freakin' *love* the voice actors of Owen, Justice, Musa, Logan (just *melt* at that voice!), Matilda and well, everyone else! I even love Cooper's voice actor!

[Cutlass Jack]

Yan's voice amuses me so much it makes him tolerable. I should hate him like Higgins. But I don't. Overall I think most of the voice talent caught their character's personalities perfectly.

On the other end of the scale, Catori's "Hellloooo" sounds like she's doing a Sienfeld bit.

20+ hr play so far (havn't even met everyone yet) but as of now my fav voice is X the crow: the voice and dialog were just sooo funny. though, not sure its actual human voice or its been tweaked by computer....

I love yan's voice acting! If only i can marry him, hehe.

[Kalitz]

Amirah has hands down the best voice in the game.

[Kathykins]

Qi, Fang, Heidi, Jasmine

Unsuur because he's adorkable
Justice because he da man
Mabel because she's so sweet
Cooper because he's hilarious
Andy because that kid is sooo cute

Honourable mentions:

Mike Ciporkin - Logan, Jensen *melting* He also does Yan, but that doesn't DO it for me
Alex Ross - Owen (love story time on Saturdays, don't care about the story, have heard them all, just want to hear the voice)

I don't like the sweet schoolgirl voice of .... fine, I'll say it.... Nia. If she actually SOUNDED like a grownup, I may even consider romancing them. Nia's outfit also contributes to me not seeing her as a potential spouse. I'm also not a fan of Catori's accent. Love Cat, but not her voice. It grates my nerves.

[Erica Nuitari]

Definately Owen (and of course Pen) but I think Cooper is also amazing, his voice fits so well with his lines and character. And honorable mention to Fang and Qi..cause I just love them both so much :D

[SimuLord]

Bradley Gareth (Miguel): He manages to pull off Miguel's solemn but seething character so well that when you finally get the Big Reveal about why Miguel is the way he is during Act 3, it feels like the entire performance has been building up to that point. Really brings out the essence of the character in a way that any good voice actor should.

Chuck Montgomery (Cooper, Mysterious Man): A great contrast in how the same voice can be used to bring off two distinctly different personalities. The same whiny country yokel illiterate fool Cletus-from-The-Simpsons voice for Cooper can be used to bring off the smarmy, "what's a sophisticated guy like me doing in a place like this" haughty arrogance of the Mysterious Man.

Maddi Albregts (Rat Queen): A goofy, over-the-top voice performance for a goofy, over-the-top character in a goofy, over-the-top quest. One can almost hear the voice of Graham Chapman in the background: "On second thought, let's not go to Sandrock. It is a silly place."
