Looking back: ToddyWhiskers

So I created a new alt and I am running through dragonflight. I forgot about Toddy, she was a cute little rambunctious explorer with her nice little exuberant voice.
Now she sounds like a gurgling drunk Angela Lansbury. What on earth did they do to her?
Why would they change a perfectly sounding voice for that match to perfectly little person and turn her into a 70 something year-old drunk?
Angela Lansbury rest in peace, of course, but still

I didn’t know she had voice lines in TWW.

Neither did I, but I would mute her and Rannan either way.

She drank too much rum toddy

That’s why it’s called, looking back. Critical thinking is a thing.

This must be a Sunday troll thread.

That creature was the most annoying thing in Dragonflight. Not only was it visually unappealing, the voice was grating. I had hoped Blizzard chucked it in the dumpster, because I hadn’t noticed it yet in TWW.

Aww, don’t do that. She has a role to play as a delve companion in Midnight.

I definitely lean towards the horde equivalent companion by far.

Personally, I found her look hideous.

A drunken voice would at least create an excuse for how awful she looked.

I’m pretty sure her only appearance in TWW is in Dalaran before it exploded, she hasn’t been seen or rescued or mentioned since. I assume she didn’t make it and is hella dead.

That said, I haven’t heard anything about her being recast like OP is suggesting, and digging up a few sounds at wowhead she sounds the same to me.

she’s always sounded like that.

the contrast between the two is pretty wild.

the scene where they both meet Sendrax:

Naleidea Rivergleam - in a smooth, calm, sexy voice - It’s a pleasure to meet you, Sendrax.

Toddy Whiskers - in the loudest most grating voice you could possibly conjure, with the volume on the mixer turned way up - WELL MET!!!

Hearing the game must be so weird, given everything people say about it on the forums

You cruel person! Don’t even think that let alone type it were it might give the wrong ppl Ideas!

Besides, we had an annoying dwarf this expac. Next expac we’ll probably get something small ,furry and annoying that sings (badly) about her alpacas.

I might actually do Delves if that were the case…. Just to watch that loathsome creature get beat down by NPCs.

Man, I’d forgotten that she died :confused:

People like you gave us DF cinematic compared to WOD.

GO AWAY

Sendrax’ voice is the stuff of nightmares.

I vividly remember flying into the new zone on release. Looking forward to the new music and listening to all new characters. But almost right off the boat do we meet this abomination Sendrax with its grating, hellish, voice and instantly the game got muted. It was almost poetic justice to see that character die so soon into the introduction.
