Is voice acting final?

[Hamshank]

Does someone know if the current voice-acting is final? It's ages away from SC1 voice acting.

Compare any Protoss voice with that of the Arbiter. The Protoss sound very relaxed now, compared with their SC1 counterparts. They used to sound fierce and powerfull. A lot of emphasis was put on the speech. Now they sound like they have high-dose sedation, or something like that.

I totally agree-- it is "ages away" from even WC3! Why go back so far to SC1. Blizz has a long history of providing excellent voice acting. This game is such a depature, however, it looks like there's nothing we can do at this point.

In the twitter chat they said that voice acting for units is final. They did say that they may change the Zerg Queen announcer slightly though.

The main reason I don't even touch the Zerg is because of their advisor's voice.

Ok, i added a poll to the thread, so you can voice your opinion in numbers.

If the voices are THAT terrible, someone will probably make a patch for putting the old voices in SC2. Not that hard, I bet I could do it if i cared enough.

If the voices are "THAT terrible," that's embarrassing.

If they're that terrible to you I meant. Its all a matter of opinion really. Its only truly embarrassing if the voices are poor in quality. Whether or not they're true to the original doesn't really diminish the quality of the voice.

In my opinion,

I'd say the Zerg voices are in need of improvement. They don't sound potent enough.

The Protoss voices I'm mostly fine with, except maybe the Zealot and Dark Templar (the zealot is especially important to me). Sentry gives me a headache a little too. I'm just talking about actual voices, the effects for alot of the units are totally off and need improvement, like the carrier and archon, but have decent voices.

The Terrans are all pretty good, and I don't see a need for too much change. Maybe the hellion and BC, but I think the Terrans got the better voice work.

See, that was quick. Look how little change it does to the Terran voices though. And the ones it does change, are probably the better voices of the bunch.

The voice acting is final yes. But the zerg have no voice acting since it's just animal sounds. I'm sure the sound department isn't sitting around since sound is the last thing to be done.

It might me being too picky but I really hate most of the zerg sounds, apart form the queen they're hard to distinguish and they are really different form the SC1 ones, not saying they should be the same but at least hold some simmilarities, the SC1 hydra has a long, slightly pitched not-so gutural sound, the SC2 hydra sounds like an ultralisk, while on the other hand the SC2 ultralisk has this strange bubble-roar like if it was an elephant drowning in mud.
The infestor is just a collection of bowel sounds... and the ling fart is just an insult.
