Easily Identifiable Voice Actors in Video Games

[solemnwar]

Nolan North, Steve Blum and Jennifer Hale are the first to come to mind.

Steve Blum, man, that guy's voice is like cigarette smoke dancing tentatively across a silk scarf

I actually find Jennifer Hale hard to pinpoint occassionally. I recognised her immediately in Bulletstorm, but I actually had to look up Leah from Diablo III before I knew it was her.

I was pretty shocked. "WTFBBQ THAT'S JENNIFER HALE?!
That was also my reaction when I realised Bastila was also voiced by Hale.

Steve Blum though, yeah, he's pretty easy to pinpoint lol I love him <3

I don't recognize much. I never recognize guys, but I sometimes recognize Jennifer Hale, Grey DeLisle, Tara Strong, and I even recognized Tricia Helfer's voice once.

Edit: I just realized I recognize Steve Blum's voice, but only when it's similar to the one he did for Cyrus in Dawn of War 2.

 

[Zhukov]

- Steve Blum (He's in everything.)
- Jennifer Hale (Also in everything.)
- Raphael Sbarge (Kaiden Alenko, Karth Onasi)
- Ali Hillis (Lightning, Liara T'soni)
- Ron Perlman ("War, war never changes...",
- Keith David (Captain Anderson, the giant boar in Princess Monoko)
- Claudia Black (Morrigan, Chloe Fraser)

 

[Rooster893]

Keith David, without a doubt.

Def. Nolan North, its amazing how distinct his voice is no matter what character he plays. A character in growlanser had one line in the beginning that automatically made me say "yup that's Nolan North" Kind of sad though when I think about it.

 

[Scorched_Cascade]

Steve Blum is probably the only one I recognise all the time, I spotted him in DoW though I was suprised to find out that he played Eliphas (My favourite character) as well.

Also I tend to spot Robin Atkin Downes (Prince Rurik-Guild Wars, generic Salarian and Turian voices-Mass Effect series, Male protagonist voice 3 in Saints Row 3, among others) and Fred Tatsciore (Saren-Mass Effect, Bane-Arkham Asylum/City, Henry Leland-Alpha Protocol, Mario Auditore-Assasin's Creed series, among a shed load of others)

Conveniently they're all in this video:

Nolan North and Jennifer Hale.

Great voice actors.

Haha! I knew Nolan North would be one of the first people mentioned

Edit: Raphael Sbarge has done quite a bit of work for Bioware, I remember hearing Kaiden first speak and thinking "Hey, that's Carth from Knights of the Old Republic." He even does some incidental voices in The Old Republic, my friend and I were walking along and overheard an NPC conversation. Me, "Is that Carth". My friend listens "It sure is"

This reminds me...

 

[Alssadar]

Steve Blum and John Patrick Lowrie.
Steve Blum is my favorite voice actor of all time-he's freaking amazing with his range of scraggly voices to high pitches.
John Patrick Lowrie isn't in as many games, but from the multiple announcements he's made otherwise, I've recognized his voice before he said his name.

 

[Autumnflame]

lance hendrickson
Grey delisle.
Jennifer hale.
raphael sebarge

 

[Lilani]

What, nobody has said Tara Strong yet? She's in like every game ever. Oh, and John Patrick Lowrie. He doesn't do a lot of different voices, but the one or two he does he does very well. And I don't mind that at all. I'd rather hear him as every male in HL2 than a huge range of of sub-par actors.

 

[recurve6]

I forgot someone AGAIN.

I noticed no one has mentioned the guy who voices all black guys in anime and video games: Phil LaMarr!

 

[Aris Khandr]

- Raphael Sbarge (Kaiden Alenko, Karth Onasi)

Carth is 90% of the reason I hated Kaiden. Die in a fire, Carth Onasi.

 

[Zhukov]

- Raphael Sbarge (Kaiden Alenko, Karth Onasi)

Carth is 90% of the reason I hated Kaiden. Die in a fire, Carth Onasi.

Ooooookay then.

I barely remember anything about Carth. He had some thoroughly uninteresting dead family backstory and something about being betrayed by his mentor or... something. He didn't seem to have any role in the story beyond a bit of foreshadowing.

 

[Soviet Heavy]

Scott McNeil (METAL BAWKSES!) and any of the Dobson brothers. Dudes know how to scream.

 

[AetherWolf]

Nolan North. He voices every character of every game. Even the women.
