She’s exactly like Ana from Overwatch. It was bothering me for a long time until I realized it.
Nano boost is ready to deploy!
Not “like”,
She literally
Is.

Well, there’s that one npc in bastion (Thenios) whose voice reminds me of Tuvok from Star Trek: Voyager. I wouldnt be surprised if it was indeed the same voice actor.
– edit –
Turns out my suspicion was correct, according to wowpedia (https://wow.gamepedia.com/Thenios) Thenios is voiced by Tim Russ, the same actor who played Tuvok in Star Trek Voyager.

You are correct, according to wowpedia, Ve’nari is voiced by Aysha Selim, who according to overwatch wiki also voiced Ana in Overwatch.

And I’m pretty sure Ana’s daughter Pharah (Jen Cohn) voices Dealer Xy’exa in De Other Side (who also happens to be a Broker).
Small world, eh?

OH JESUS. I didn’t even realize it but now that you’ve said it, I hear it.
I really love her voice, it’s very unique sounding.

Jen Cohn’s voice is all over Shadowlands. Caught her as at least one Kyrian character (can’t think of which one off the top of my head), she didn’t have her usual accent, but I picked up the inflections right away.
I’m glad they have all these great VAs all over this expansion. Warms my little nerd heart.
That’s nice but I still wondering who does Niya’s voice.
I recognized it was Ana right away!
Great choice on their end 
Niya = Cherami Leigh

Do you have source? I checked and it doesn’t show she did any WOW voice overs.
OOPS never mind just found it, thanks!
Yup OP, that IS the same one.
For a bit I thought it was this older actress. But I was wrong.
Who voices Sika though, can’t seem to find it 
I can’t find that one either. I don’t exactly recognize her voice, but I’ve heard several other people say they did, and want to know who voiced her. I’m curious myself.
As an aside, as I was looking, I found that that apparently Turalyon and Gazlowe were voiced by the same guy. I actually didn’t pick up on that. Super interesting.

He was also in the short as the same character telling Devos to be careful. I caught it right away lol
She made what would other be a very outlandish and semi-hostile ally in the Maw to an almost lovable yet still disapproving mother, and I think it fits Ve’nari perfectly. I was so happy when I heard her voice.
From now on I just call her Ana Ve’nari (Ana Amari being her full Overwatch name, lol).
I’m still wondering why Tortollans sound like Stan Lee, and, more recently, why the Runecarver sounds like Professor Farnsworth.
Never heard Ana, but I do have a character based off her. Fun to know.
Sadly I didn’t.
I knew the voice sounded familiar in a sense, but it escaped me til Live.
Perfect voice casting for him, honestly. Paragon Of Wisdom indeed.
