Voice actors, who is on the chopping list?

[spychi]

Even though Liz should be nominated as DS stated, I won't complain if either Jen or Yvonne will win
I hope that Martin Sheen will win in the male competition

oh and fuck Black Ops

Glynnis was also casted for SC2, and was on the project for several years until something happened which has not been revealed by both parts. Clotworthy also got sacked at one point but got recasted some time later.

Inconsistency is the last thing I wanna experience in a Blizz product, which people usually are so fond of calling "polished".

I don't know where you heard this, but to clarify - Blizzard is not your neighborhood friendly game developer. They figured most of their sales will come from koreans and new customers who could give a shit less about Glynnis. Did any of you NOT buy SC2 because of her being removed as voice actor?

And yet they agreed to take Robert back, the guy who did Arcturus and they want to keep the voice caster who did Tychus, Glynnis didn't take the rejection like a professional and Robert did, Glynnis had a history of working with Blizzard outside of Starcraft... yeah, sorry but by process of deduction I'm guessing that she did something Blizzard did not like.

Yeah, she is not hot and known as Tricia is.

guys


I fucking hate what they did to Kerrigan

listen to this


skip to the ending

seriously, when I hear that "eventually" I get a freaking hard-on

[Articorse]

Damn it, Spychi. Why? Why did you have to go and remind me that we could've had Glynnis' godlike voice in this game?

Damn it.

[broodmywarcraft]

EXACTLY!! They had her and they dropped her!!

Nostalgia Critic, express my rage for me!!

I would like to work on HotS, I would like to see what direction they are taking and I don't want the same thing they did with WoL - by that I mean, writing stupid lines and scenario that is not belivable - also I would like the game to be epic
I never wanted otherwise, but i still will bash them for the first part\
I bet that I would bring alot of good stuff with the upcoming game, yet i doubt that they would like to her me or listen to reason

Spy Chi pretty much just nuked the thread with an ultimatum. I don't think anything anyone says can disprove that Talken would have been a better choice.

Like I said, Metzen and friend's egos are way too big...big as their salaries...and they can do whatever the hell they want because they were founders. The series didn't really lose much financially, maybe even benefited from the high profile name of Tricia.

Now that I think of it, I think Metzen probably played Mass Effect 2...heard EDI's voice and thought "Shit, SC2 MUST have Caprica Six in it. MUST!!!!!"
I think it's set in stone guys...

Back to topic : I really don't think anyone will be cut at this moment. They kept Paul Eiding (or w/e) for the protoss Judicator (COLONEL!?!?!!?!!!!!!!!!..............). Half the voice actors are Metzen and probably developers now. My point is that they know a large volume of people buy it for the multiplayer component, single player sits on the back burner for them. It's pretty evident given the budget. I wouldn't be surprised if Battle.net 2.0 cost more than the budget for SC2's single player. Asides from Tricia's pay, they're paying peanuts to everyone else. Metzen is the full time writer for all their games, so he could've written SC2's storyline while waiting in line at Starbucks.
Who knows?

Taking a more positive spin on things, which voice actors do you hope will return (particularly those whose characters are unlikely to) to voice more characters?

Right off the top of my head are:

1. Grey DeLisle (Nova)
2. Kath Soucie (Mira Han)
3. Dave Fennoy (Gabriel Tosh)

The only reservations I have is that I'm not familiar enough with Fennoy's work (and thus, his ability to create different voices) and that his voice as Tosh was so distinctive to begin with. The other two are veteran voice actors whose range and bodies of work I pretty much like.
