Favorite ESO voice actors?

KariTR

I think VO acting takes a special skill that neither Bill Nighy or John Cleese possess. Stale, scripted and monotone, the pair of them.

Currently enjoying the likes of Damien Gautier and also Bumnog (The Daggers).

Yes I must agree with @KariTR the professional voice actors, are better than the "normal" actors.

Btw does anyone knows which actress gives voice to Shazah?

Lost track of the NPC name and don't know who the voice actor is if different from other Khajiit voices used but I loved the Khajiit NPC 'side-kick' who was one of the Queen's Eyes you meet early on starting out in Auridon. If one were to pose humorous clips of the several voices mentioned so far in this thread in a Poll I would be very hard-pressed to vote my favorite.

Edit: Yes, I'm thinking 'Raz' is the one--Razum-dar. Is that voice used for some of the other Khajiits that sound similar? Who is the actor that does that voice?

I like Bill Nighy - High King Emeric. I have liked his voice ever since I saw him play Viktor in Underworld. He has a very noble and calming sound to his voice, yet he can be very stern and commanding when needed, that makes him perfect for the role of a king.

Moonscythe

For male voices the Prophet and Raz. I love Raz.

For the women definitely Queen Ayrenn

Gothic

Jim Cummings and Jennifer Hale. It's nice to see Minsc and Dynaheir together again. But seriously, these two voice actors are wonderfully talented.

Kate Beckinsale made a dreamy Quenn Ayrenn too. Molina nailed Abner Tharn brilliantly.

Whoever does the voice for the Ayleid ghosts. Gives me goosebumps in a good way.

There's a guy whose voice reminds me of Tim Russ (Tuvok, Star Trek Voyager), so much so that I looked up Tim Russ on IMDB the other day. Turns out he's done quite a bit of voice work for games, but not this one. Anyway, whoever that is, he's one of my favs.

Star Trek Chick.

Another good one...

Also I thought these two were great:

Raash

whoever made the voice as the old ancient talking tree in some quest. It was mindblowing and so disturbing i couldnt help but laugh for real. sounds more like a 15 year old reading a text without any feeling into it. kind of awesome, impossible to forget or miss anyway

is Sheogorath in eso the same actor from Oblivion?

Nope.

I was disappointed too when I heard the new Sheogorath. From what I understand the voice actor that played Sheogorath in Oblivion and Skyrim, Wes Johnson, wanted to voice the character again for ESO but they never asked him. You can check out his Twitter @WesJohnsonVoice, he mentions it and retweets when people ask him about it.

Shoddycast confirms also.

But this voice actor is fun too.

IKR! I did the same thing last month. He did a nice job on ESO.

1. Kate Beckinsale - Queen Ayrenn. A progressive voice amongst reactionaries. Strong yet slightly vulnerable. Perfect performance.
2. All the Khajiit. Dynamic, highly entertaining and really well written.
3. Malcolm McDowell - Molag Bal. Dark Anchor sounds and visuals elicit a visceral response. That touch of Little Mo makes them one of my favorite ESO experiences.

One of the actors does the voice of the Templar follower on Diablo 3. I always get a kick out of that.

Also, the gentleman who does the voice of the male blood elves in WoW, and the rogue in Diablo 3 is always fun to hear. "That's how we do it in Kings Port!" XD

Another of my favorites:

There are a lot of them that I really like. I don't know if I could narrow it down to just a few. I smile every time I find an NPC with a voice I recognize from Skyrim.

One of my favorites is Linda Carter who does the voice of Azura.

( Zenimax pls )

As much as all would like to hear that, I have doubts there is no epic enough character on Nirn to be voiced by him.

I wonder what Akatosh sounds like...

Kate Beckinsale... because... art. Courtenay Taylor as well.... (she did the voice of Jack from Mass Effect 2/3). But there's tons of Khajiti ones I find extremely amusing... overall I like all of them. Sheogorath, Cadwell, etc.. all voice acted with excellence!

Adelwulf

Queen Ayrenn and Cadwell

Pchela

Doubts-the-Moon, the Argonian. It's so 'human' yet... not. It's perfect.

Maotti

Sees-All-Colors's voice actor, she's brilliant!

She voices some other argonians and a few orc ladies,

Also Molag Bal, Queen Ayrenn, The Prophet and Lyris!

Victus

Reezal-Jul's voice is perfect.. stunted Argonian, yet sinister...

Had no idea that was her. Makes since she would have a part being how her husband is chairman & CEO.

CirithValaria

All Argonians and Khajiits!
+ Malukah as a bard!

Malcolm McDowell's voice creeps me the hell out.

I had to look up who he was - I got him confused with Roddy.

Now, I've never seen the movie, "A Clockwork Orange", but I read it in high school for a book report. Boy, that was kind of a mistake; once I figured out the lingo ...... so, that's why I've never seen the movie.

So, when I was looking him up, I saw him on some talk show; he seemed pleasant enough and not very threatening. Then I came across a clip of "ACO", in amongst a bunch of "best ad-libbed stuff from movies". He actually ad-libbed a song called "Singing in the *this word will be censored but it sounds kind of like rain, yeah*". Jeeezus!

His normal speaking voice sounds nothing like Molag Bal. What pit of hell does he pull that up from?! And now that they fixed the sound files for dolmens, I can actually hear what he's saying. JEEZUS!

Awesomely creepy voice acting.

I love Tharn's snarkiness. Had to look that guy up too, lol.

Miflett

I really loved Alfred Molina's performance of Abnur Tharn. I love the way in which he talks, almost as if everything he says is just leading you on to some bigger plan brewing in his mind.

Oh? I think it's good enough that she's Wonder Woman. Always will be, to me.
