Good Voice Acting

Since there is a bad one, and I like the thread, lets see about good voice acting.

I present Sire Denathrius.

I absolutely loved his presentation and voice acting.

What are your favorites?

All of the court of harvesters characters were really good.

Obvi can’t forget Sylvanas, that’s a classic

Merithra, but I’m biased, because she’s commander shepard. :+1:

edit: jaina proudmoore. daughter of the sea, “Is he the BOMB this time?!” line always gets me, the raw fury and pain… ironically i don’t think laura bailey knows the meaning of “chill”.

princess talanji, xuen, illidan (as much as we all clown on that “I AM MY SCARS” line it sticks out cuz liam o’brien sells it so well!) and every time i clicked the innkeeper in ardenweald to sell my stuff i always had that “ooh! Matt Mercer!” reaction, haha

i also generally like the army of light draenei chars. that murderous discipline priest, Enaara, always made me laugh. “If you can walk, you can fight!”

Pretty much anything and everything by David Lodge, I’m a fanboy.
For WoW Context
He did Archimonde and Nazgrim and like… some small characters?

Thenios - only because it’s Tuvok (Tim Russ).

Rowie the Tuskarr child that runs messages to you as you hit the various renown levels has this goofy laugh that makes me smile.

I find a lot of the child NPC’s so far seem much better in DF. Which is a welcome thing.

Raszageth is good. Even Kalecgos isn’t bad, even though his delivery is a little bland. Wrathion is somewhat enjoyable.

There are probably other decently acted characters in Dragonflight… but they are so starkly overshadowed by the bad ones.

Best:

Sylvanas - Like or hate her, the voice is amazing.
Maiev - Sultry
Archivist Roh Suir - He would make a great Jazz radio DJ.
Female stewards - Chipper and sing-songy.
Thrall - He’s Metzen. Nuff said.
Headless Horseman - Totally nails the mood.
Shademaster Kyrin - Very sensual for a dead woman.

Worst:

Malfurion - Sounds really unnatural.
Male stewards - Sound like 80yr old children. They giggle when you stab them.
Ronin - I have to admit, I smiled when he died.
My Troll Druid - Oogachucka, I love you, but your voice is horrible, and kinda racist.
Aggra - GOEL! You can do better! Seriously.

Definitely gonna be Saurfang for me. During the anniversary event I happened across the BfA cinematic crystals and that dude carried that whole expansion on his back.
