I was just curious what everyone thought. I pay a lot of attention to who does what voices in video games and i was wanting to see what some of your favorites are.

My all time favorite is David Hayter (Solid Snake)
Others are John DiMaggio and Matt McKenzie.

Billy Zane did a great job in KH1, but he isn't a common voice actor.

Mary Elizabeth motherfucking McGlynn.

Pretty sure I came when I heard about "racy scenes" in Alpha Protocol. Mary making sex noises is just... just brilliant...

I pay close attention to voice actors as well. :)
David Hayter is an awesome voice actor.
The VA for Cole from inFamous reminds me of David, as well as Clint Eastwood.

Anyway, I don't think I have a favorite VA, but Motoko Kusinagi's a.k.a. the Major from Ghost in the Shell has a calm and cool VA.

Also, I enjoy hearing Scott Menville's voice in a variety of games and shows, such as Max from Dark Cloud, Lloyd from Tales of Symphonia, Robin from Teen Titans, young Albedo from Xenosaga, as well as certain soldiers from the Metal Gear Solid series.

John DiMaggio did a good job in FFX and Futurama. I also like Tara Platt, Paula Tiso and Allison Keith.

When it comes to the japanese va world, Mamoru Miyano, Takahiro Sakurai and Maaya Sakamoto are my favorites.

In FF, Balthier, Al Cid, and Auron. In anime, Vash from Trigun and InuYasha. Overall, the people who voiced Ganon, The King, Zelda, Link, Gwonam, Morshu, and Fari in the CD-I zelda games. :wtf:

^^, David Hayter is brilliant, he really helped bring the MGS story to life for me, back when I didn't know games could do that kind of thing.

I don't know if I could point to any one person and say they are my fav, but there are a lot of voice actors out there who I greatly admire.

Hm.... Well, I have quite a few that I like. All of them are my favorites.
~Crispin Freeman
~Liam O'brien
~Dave Wittenberg
~Steve Blum
~Kari Wahlgren
~Johnny Yong Bosch

Maaya Sakamoto is also my favorite especially when she did her role for Lightning (final fantasy XIII). By the way does anyone know who does the voice over for her in the American version?:blink:

James Arnold Taylor. Not for Tidus, but for Rachet, Woldor, and Johnny Test. Occasionally, I enjoy a little Johnny Young Basch (Ichigo, Firion) as long as there is no filler involved.

Tara Strong.
She is exceedingly attractive, and does some awesome VA.

I mean for god sake she voiced Fat Princess and Talwyn from R&C.

How could I forget about her? She voiced Raven in Teen Titans and I think she was one of the Power Puff Girls.

She voiced Bubbles.
She's done so much cartoon and game voice overs it makes me jizz.

Pretty much everyone in Final Fantasy XII, I really thought that game had awesome voice work. Especially Balthier.

Fallout 1 & 2 also had some of the best voice work I've heard, pretty much all the voice actors were actual established actors. Talking with The Master was just pure gold.

I also really like Yuri Lowenthal's work most of the time, he was good as Yosuke in P4.

Not sure who my favourite would be, but the one i hate the most is whoever did Lymle (or w/e the hell her name was) in Star Ocean IV:nag:

Quinton Flynn :aldo:

Whatever you do, never ask him to say "Got it memorised", you can see him die a little on the inside. Instead, tell him how Raiden owns Snake. Not true, but he'll be happy to know he exists outside of Axel.

Uh...I don't remember her name but the voice actress for Lady in DMC 3 and 4.
And Fran's voice actress and David Hayter, and uh....Mary Elizabeth McGlynn I think I spelled that right; Shuyu knows who I mean, she loves her. Liam O' Brien just for the sake of Vince in 'Ergo Proxy'

Can't think of anymore at the moment.

Oh wait Tara Strong, as Cat said she's quite impressiv

EDIT: And Nolan North, gotta love Nate.

You're talking about Kari Walhgren, yes she's good :aldo:

David Hayter (obviously, how could have a list like this and not include him)
Kari Walhgren (but more for her work in Prince of Persia, which I really enjoyed)
Nolan North (for Uncharted of course, and his Walken impression (see Sony Comic-Con highlights video))
And I really enjoyed the cast of FF VII: Advent Children. Although the lip sync was awful I thought that most of the cast really fit their cast (especially Steve Burton for Cloud and Rachel Leigh Cook for Tifa). I hope that when they remake FF VII (they will, trust me) that they get the same cast back for this game.

Aug 31 2009, 07:18 PM
Yuri Lowenthal. I thought his work in the Sands of Time & the Two Thrones was great. Unlike some people I know, though, I actually preferred Robin Atkin Downes as the Prince's VA.
And, how could I possibly forget? Johnny Yong Bosch.
I never really did pay that much attention to female voice actors, but Fran's is quite good in ffxii, but Balthier's VA just... just... is just too awesome for me to describe.

David Hayter, best voice ever.
Dante, on DMC3 or DMC4, love this voices.
Balthier and Fran of FFXII
(Sorry, I don't know the names of the actors)

Yep. Right here. Love Steve Blum. He won me over in Cowboy Bebop, and the rest is history.

EDIT: Also, Sean Connery, for Dragonheart.

Dec 29 2009, 03:49 PM
Josh Robert Thompson simply because he's a master mimic and usually kicks ass whenever he's put into the voice staff. He's also the only VA that I've had the honor of having an acquaintanceship with.

Also Steve Blum.

My fave would probably be Spike Spencer because I've met him in person and he was a really cool dude.

Also Vic Mignona does funny songs and likes getting involved with the nerd community so I like him too.

I've been liking Nolan North recently, but there's always that hint of Nathan Drake that puts me off what he does. He's a great voice actor but seems like he needs to alter his voice more when he plays different characters.

D.C. Douglas. (Albert Wesker, Resident Evil 5.)
He works for some games, but Albert Wesker is his best (and great) performance indeed.

Nolan North, obviously.

And right now I'm lovin' Roger Craig Smith and his rendition of Ezio. We'll get to hear and see him again in the third installment.
