Who voices Goldie Baronbottom?

Every expansion, I always have one or two absolute favorite lines. In War Within, it has definitely been Goldie Baronbottom’s line at the end of Cinderbrew about ridin’ her bees like nature lovin’ weirdos! :joy: It might be stupid this line makes me so happy every time I hear it, but it does. :joy:

With a Blizzcon in the planning (and I plan to go) I had an idea to make a cute cross stitch piece containing the line, with a space on the fabric left blank, and getting Goldie’s voice actress to sign it for me. :smiley: Thing is, first search gave an AI overview (often they’re wrong) saying Goldie is voiced by Laura Post. Her IMDB lists Queen Azshara and Drelanim Whisperwind, among other WoW credits, but not Goldie. Her Wikipedia lists additional WoW credits for Shademaster Kiryn and Snow Blossom, but still no Goldie, despite the page having roles listed as new as 2025.

Is AI lying? If yes, does anyone know who voiced my newest favorite line? :slight_smile:

If the AI says it’s Laura Post, then Laura Post voiced Goldie. The AI is not capable of lying or ever being wrong.

Besides, IMDB says Laura Post does Harley Quinn voice for some stuff and Goldie sounds like Harley with the New Jersey accent.

I misread this as Goldie Barebottom.

And I was just. That’s a name.

Killing is my business, and it’s BOOMING!

If allowed to choose between the whinging hipster micro-brewer and the BEE.E.O. herself, I think I know where most players would fall

My AI says it’s Elle Newlands, probably both wrong.

Brother…

Feed the AI with Fox News and you will see what you get…

I remember when chat “ai” had issues with counting the number of "r"s in raspberry

Like, she’s technically innocent

I don’t know why we go in there and murder her, we are the bad guys in this scenario

I have to agree that line is a winner.

I first did that dungeon with my druid, so that much funnier, since that is an apt description for a druid.

Its not listed in Laura Posts IMDB although she does the voice of 4 WoW NPCs including Queen Azshara.

Edit: Chatgpt says this:

Though Laura Post isn’t credited on IMDb for Goldie Baronbottom, multiple reliable insider sources—including Blizzard developers in the official WoW forums—confirm she is the voice of Goldie in The War Within.

On July 3, 2025, a forum post addressed this exact concern. One user highlighted, “if the AI says it’s Laura Post, then Laura Post voiced Goldie,” pointing out that IMDB omissions aren’t uncommon for voice actors in big games
us.forums.blizzard.com

So even though her IMDb entry doesn’t list Goldie, the consistent community and developer guidance on Blizzard’s forums strongly supports Laura Post as the voice actor.

How is chatgpt seeing our posts?

Likely because this is a forum which can be viewed by the public. (You only need an account to post, not to view.)

Sadly, I’m still at a dead end. I found the IMDB credits page for the expansion and Goldie isn’t listed. Not many of the minor characters are…

What I think I need is a bored Blue Poster to go ask for me and report back. :joy:

I imagine they sift through a lot of the internet, maybe even specific places for specific questions.

When I Google WoW stuff, sometimes a Forum Post comes back as an answer. Search sites comb through these forums pretty solidly.

AHA! Yep… I opened this topic in another browser that’s not logged in here and sure enough there it is.

Fludgeburango - Im gonna go ask chatgpt to find a Fludgeburango on the internet, a word I just made up, and I bet it finds it. (Waves at Chatgpt)

edit: too soon, it explaned that “search engines haven’t indexed it yet. Sometimes it takes hours or even a day for new forum posts to become searchable online.”

Oh well.

Remember when someone got fired for making statements at management with goblin quotes? I guess her quotes are suitable… :dracthyr_shrug:
