Christopher Lee is the Thunder King, can’t believe no one said that yet.

I don’t know about WOW but I can pick out Garrus from Mass Effect everywhere he goes.

Irisheyes-zuljin · January 10, 2020, 9:20pm

I feel the same way!!!

For me it’s Jim Pirri. I feel like I come across his voice everywhere.

And for some reason, he always sounds more like Star Augur Etraeus to me (than Nathanos).

Grundok:

Wondering if there are any voices you guys recognize in the game from other media? Or are there voices you were surprised to find out who did them?

The only one that sticks out is Michael Bell who does Medivh’s voice and also did Raziel’s voice in the Soulreaver games. Loved those games and his voice was amazing and perfect for Raziel. He also has done a crap ton of other cartoons and games that I know his voice from.

There’s a dwarf in WoW that sounds like Dwalin from The Hobbit movies but I looked up the actor that played him, Graham McTavish , and he doesn’t have any WoW credits so someone sounds just like him to me in-game.

I was amazed how many stars I know but didn’t recognize their voices in-game.

Martin Sheen voices Nozdormu / Murozond. Did not know that he voiced anyone but I know him from movies and as father to Charlie and Emilio.

Earl Boen voices Terenas Menethil / Narrator. He does the intro to races amazingly and reminds me of the Elder God from Soulreaver Tony Jay. I know him from the Terminator and other movies.

Jim Pirri voices Nathanos Blightcaller. Know him from a Friends episode where he says binky boy in a foreign accent.

Alex Désert voices Bwonsamdi. I know him from Becker as the blind guy even though I never watched the show.

Mark Addy voices Daelin Proudmoore. I know him from a Knight’s Tale and Game of Thrones.

Keone Young voices Chen Stormstout. I know his face and probably know him from SOA.

Tony Amendola voices Khadgar. I know his face from movies and T.V. series.

I found some faces to here `

Yep. Gideon Emery. Would know his voice anywhere. He voices Theron.
He also voiced Balthier from Final Fantasy 12.
He also did voice overs for Skyrim.

I swear that in WoD there’s a female voice who sounds just like Katey Sagal, but I’m not sure which NPC the voice is coming from.

Shadowfist-agamaggan · January 10, 2020, 9:24pm

I mean, if you’re a fan of Critical Role then you have a few names in Blizz you’ll know.

Ughash-sargeras · January 10, 2020, 9:29pm

Chris Metzen of course!

Laura Bailey (she uses the same tone of voice for Jaina and Serana in Skyrim lol!)

Troy Baker MA BOY!

But Laura and Troy are in every game under the sun almost! I smile in joy when I hear em:). Hope to meet one of them one day!

Acitamos-korialstrasz · January 10, 2020, 9:31pm

Vulpera in general sound familiar. However I don’t think it’s anyone in particular. I do think they were thinking of another cartoon character when doing them though.

Derscha-cenarion-circle · January 10, 2020, 9:32pm

The first time I started to play through Tauren areas, I had to stop and go, “…Worf?” and look it up to verify.

Artaeum-malganis · January 10, 2020, 9:33pm

I played through Fallout 4 again not too long ago, and actually listened and recognized Tony Amendola as Father for the first time. I half expected him to tell me to go collect Apexis Crystals.

Restrictíon-moon-guard · January 10, 2020, 9:46pm

Cam Clarke as Malygos was always great, instantly reminds me of Liquid Snake from Metal Gear Solid.

Pärker-wyrmrest-accord · January 10, 2020, 9:50pm

Imagine Nathanos singing a bike safety song. He’s the instructor in this. Actors all gotta start somewhere, lol.

Finalchaotic-hyjal · January 10, 2020, 9:59pm

I never said Jim Pirri. Where did that come from? I mentioned Gideon Emery.

Pärker-wyrmrest-accord · January 10, 2020, 10:00pm

Uh huh. I made a mistake and quoted it from your quote of the OP.

Finalchaotic-hyjal · January 10, 2020, 10:00pm

Ah. I see.

Rosenivy-area-52 · January 10, 2020, 10:05pm

Pretty much the entire cast of Critical Role

The female Tiefling called Jester is Jaina
Caleb, the german sounding fellow is Illidan
The Firbolg is Taliesin Jaffe
The Half Orc that sounds like a Cowboy is Gazlowe

Speaking of Illidan and Gazlowe

Illidan is the ogre. And Gazlowe is Macaroni Samsonite.

I stg voice actors are not human man.

Kharneus-dalaran · January 10, 2020, 10:08pm

Was reading through the replies and was just about to post the same thing. His voice is so distinctive and as a huge Lord of the Rings fan I recognized it immediately.
