Has anyone figured the voice actors behind our playable characters?

Maulclaw · October 2018

After toying around with character creation and google more about the actors that worked on this game, I came into the realization that some of the big voices in the gaming industry did voice our playable characters. However, information regarding on who voiced what is scarce and incomplete. Has anyone found anything or is there any updated article?

Not sure what you mean by "playable" characters, but I know Bill Nighy (Victor from the underworld movies, Davy Jones from the pirate movies etc.) does a few characters, including that Breton king who rules over the Daggerfall Covenant (whose name eludes me atm).

Imdb has a list of the main character voice actors, plus those who have done random npc ones.

Elsonso · October 2018

I think that @Maulclaw is referring to the various screams and grunts that our characters make as we do things, or things are done to us. I would think it would be very hard to identify the actor. We would need someone like @ZOS_BeckyIchnoski to tell us.

For the rest, you can go to Imdb, as suggested, but for Summerset, they did post a list: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/5247248/#Comment_5247248. Also, sometimes UESP will tell the actor behind significant NPC characters.

Whoever's credited as "other voices/characters" are probably responsible for that. Crediting voice actors is quite rare in the games industry because ironically they don't have much of a voice when raising concerns. It's a shame given how many of them tell their lines brilliantly, and breathe additional life into player avatars. ^^

I definitely recognize the amazing Liam O'Brien as one of the Bosmer voices, and the one I chose

Darkhorse1975 · October 2018

It would be funny if they added the Wilhelm Scream to the character voice acting ledge falling scream list!

Red_Feather · October 2018

My argonian sounds like a henchmen from a saturday morning cartoon.

Ermiq · October 2018

I have no idea who voiced my dunmeri lady, but I'm pretty sure her hard breathing while sprint was voiced by a male actor.

madchuska83 · October 2018

All they say is ugh, ah, oh, & ah hahaha.

TheYKcid · October 2018

My male Redguard uses voice F, and I would never pick anything else—he actually shouts "booooooo" when using the /boo emote.

OMG... So awesome, thanks Becky!

OutLaw_Nynx · October 2018

@ZOS_BeckyIchnoski

Have you ever considered doing like an AMA? You’ve come in clutch a couple of times when I’ve had questions about the voice actors in ESO. I’d like to think I’m not the only one intrigued with voice acting. Thanks for commenting, also where are the Imperial voice actors?

Recremen · October 2018

Yo Khajiit M C is my JAM! When I write for my character or do zone chat RP or whatever it's his voice in my head, not my own.

johnbonne · October 2018

Thanks for crediting the voice actors, if not from me then from them for being recognised where others wouldn't bother to state their names. Glad to know that if I were to bust my voice acting chops in the future, there may be someone who gives a damn. ^^

Reistr_the_Unbroken · October 2018

I don’t know what my Nord M voice is but whoever did it had done a good job.

Ilsabet · October 2018

Aww man now I need to try to find out which voice each of my characters uses.

Thanks for the list!

heaven13 · October 2018

And the Imperials?

Also, I've done DSA so many times in the past couple days...I am convinced Gideon Emery is also the voice actor of Hiath the Battlemaster, even though it's not credited on IMDB.

Shraar · October 2018

Oh thank you so much for posting that list! And thank you for using so many! It's always horrible hearing the same few voices in Oblivion/Skyrim but ESO does a much better job!

Let's play a game of how many names we recognize!

Troy Baker (Everything!)
Taliesin Jaffe (Percy!)
Tara Strong (Raven? She's in everything!)
Gideon Emery (Fenris!)
Liam O'Brien (Illidan! Vax don't make me cry again)
Steve Blum (Oghren)
Travis Willingham (Grog!)

And it's not on the list but I know Jennifer Hale voices Lyris Titanborn!!

There are more voices in there (Tyrael) but I don't recognize all the names, just their voices sometimes. Thank you so much for posting the list and thank you voice actors for imbuing character through your voice acting!

BenevolentBowd · October 2018

Here's a few more...

OMG, thank you so much! I've been looking for this since last year! Any idea about the Imperials, though?

Elsonso · October 2018

Awesome that you took the time to compile that list. It is much larger than I would have imagined. Thanks!

Oh, my various nonexistent deities. You have NO IDEA how happy this list has made me. I've been trying to figure out who voiced my characters since beta!

(I've also just won a 4.5-year-old bet that I'm pretty sure only I remember, where I said, "I bet my Bosmer main is Tara Strong; really sounds like her" and my gaming pals were like, "Nah, it's probably someone else" even though Strong does other voices in the game. If any of y'all ever come to the forums, I WIN, and you owe me sushi.

)

I would love to see a complete voice list some day. There are numerous NPC's whose voices I can't place, but I love them so much that I'll make side trips to talk to these characters for the 500th time, just to hear dat voice again.

EDIT: I just realized what was already mentioned above...Imperial voices apparently don't exist. XD I was looking to see who voices my Imp guy, and it seems he has no voice! (I save screenshots of all the sliders and settings at character creation in case I ever need to remake a character. It has come in handy a surprising number of times. Like now.) I'll have to play around on him and see if I can match his voice to one that's already on the list, since most of the voice actors do multiple races.

ok... Here is a list of the orginal launch voices and a great vid of the AAA Actors they hired for the game.
I too LOVE how much ZoS dedicated to the voice acting!
1,000 huzzahs to you @ZOS_BeckyIchnoski ...

This thread sure is falling behind. I'm hopeful that it'll be updated with the remaining voices (Imperial).

I know a number of NPC's sound like Jowen (Desmond Askew). Which like bugged me for like ages trying to find where I had heard the voice before.

Yeah, I'd love to have the Imperial list as well. I'm pretty sure Claudia Christian's one of the female VAs, but beyond that, I'm not sure.

ZOS_BeckyIchnoski · October 2018

As for your Imperial questions ... for playable characters Imperials are sharing the Breton soundsets. So, Breton F A and Imperial F A are the same. However, many different actors voice Imperial NPCs.

For those of you who wish for a COMPLETE English cast list, here are the voice actors that are not also included in my above list:

Nika Futterman
Emily O'Brien
Time Winters
EG Daily
Fryda Wolff
Barbara Goodson
Ben Diskin
Nolan North
Jon Bailey
David Lodge
Edward Bosco
Adam Gifford
Bob Klein
Rick Zieff
Karen Strassman
Rachel Roswell
Elisa Gabrielli
Alfred Molina
John Cleese
Kate Beckinsale
Lynda Carter
Bill Nighy
Peter Stormare
Jennifer Hale
Kevin Michael Richardson
Michael Gambon
Jim Ward

And yes, Hiath the Battlemaster is Gideon Emery.
