What Voices do you think OOTS have?

[tmacdevitt]

I was thinking about voices for the characters and thought of these:

:roy: Wesley Snipes, Matt Damon, the Rock
:haley: Anne Hathaway, Jewel Saite, Rene O'Conner
:durkon: Billy Connelly
:belkar: Robert Carlye, Hugh Jackman, Ben Stiller, Adam Baldwin
:vaarsuvius: Paul Reubens, Jason Biggs
:elan: Greg Kinnear, Alan Tudyk

Thoughts?

[Skyserpent]

I dunno, I kinda get :belkar: as more of a Dane Cook...

...Hugh Jackman?

Oh and :haley: is totally Katheryn Zeta Jones.

:durkon:is Jaime from Mythbusters. But less snarky. and with an accent.

[BRC]

Shojo could only be voiced by Shaun Connery, simply because he's an awsome actor.

[Duke Malagigi]

:xykon: Either Hugh Laurie or Dylan Moran from Black Books (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Books).

:redcloak: Either Rowan Atkinson or Bill Bailey, also from Black Books.

[Midnighter1021]

:belkar: Dane Cook or Seth Mcfarlane
:xykon: Patrick Stewart ( but acting like Bullock from American dad)
:vaarsuvius: Billy West ( as Prof. Farnsworth from Futurama)
:roy: Sam L Jackson
:durkon: Sean Connery
:elan: Kevin Smith or Funny Ben Afleck or johnny Depp
:haley: Jessica Alba or Jessica Biel
:nale: matt Damon cuz whenever Affleck is in a movie Damon has to be in it 2
:sabine: Hale Berry
:thog: John Dimaggio
:mitd: NO IDEA WHO!
:redcloak: no clue

also :roy: Matt Damon what!!!!

[Olorin93]

I always heard :belkar: as Trey Parker doing Cartman.

I think :vaarsuvius: should be someone more sophisticated, but it's hard to find someone who sounds gender-neutral, or at least elvish. Maybe Tara Strong doing her Raven voice or something similarly contralto.

It would almost be possible to do OOTS using entirely Teen Titan voices:
:roy: = Cyborg (Khary Payton)
:haley: = Starfire (Hynden Walch)
:belkar: = Beast Boy (Greg Cipes)
:vaarsuvius: = Raven (Tara Strong)
:elan: = Robin (Scott Menville) - just the voice, not the attitude!
... but I can't think of a good :durkon:

[The Extinguisher]

I really only do Team Evil.

The Current Team Evil:

-I've always heard Xykon as John Cleese.
-Redcloak would need to be played by Simon Pegg
-Robin Williams would make a very good MiTD
-Tsukiko, is a tough one. The main girl from the game Evergrace. Don't know the voice actor.
-The Demon Roaches... hmmm... maybe Jim Carrey

Not counting the random hobgoblins and undead

[tmacdevitt]

Oh and :haley: is totally Katheryn Zeta Jones.

:durkon:is Jaime from Mythbusters. But less snarky. and with an accent.

I originally that of CZJ too, but thought that Haley had more of a girlie-girl side. CZJ is all woman.

I also think that Sam Jackson is too badass for Roy.

Belker = Wolverine = Hugh Jackman. But actually I think Bruce Campbell as ash would do a great voice for Belkar.

[Oberon]

:
...
:elan: Kevin Smith or Funny Ben Afleck or johnny Depp
:haley: Jessica Alba or Jessica Biel
:nale: matt Damon cuz whenever Affleck is in a movie Damon has to be in it 2
...


Actually, Elan and Nale would have to be the same voice, in order for Nale's plot to frame Elan to work, and so that this event (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0336.html) would make sense.

I also disagree with the rather popular choice of Samuel L. Jackson for :roy:. It has to be someone more intelligent-sounding and less "ghetto"-y, to play into Roy's reluctance of being stereotyped as the "dumb fighter". Jackson works better, as a reckless, "loose-cannon" type action hero, not so much the LG, careful (most of the time) Roy. Will Smith could pull it off.

[Ampersand]

I've always thought that Eugene Greenhilt would sound like Mel Brooks.

[Gefangnis]

I've never heard voices, really.

[Skyshot]

I also disagree with the rather popular choice of Samuel L. Jackson for :roy: . It has to be someone more intelligent-sounding and less "ghetto"-y, to play into Roy's reluctance of being stereotyped as the "dumb fighter".Mace Windu.

As for the rest, it's hard to imagine voices. Vaarsuvius in particular is a real tricky one. What actor or actress is capable of bringing out a sufficiently sexually ambiguous voice to vocally portray the androgynous elven manipulator of reality?

EDIT: Ooh! Ooh! James Earl Jones for the Monster in the Dark! Don't tell me it's not the most perfect voice match ever!

[Lissou]

I'd say Alan Rickman for Redcloak. No idea for anyone else, I never thought about it before you asked.

[Emperor Ing]

I always pictured Tom Cruise as :elan:. Fits the bill PERRFECCTLY!!! :smallbiggrin:
:durkon: would be whoever did the voice clips of Muradin Bronzebeard from Warcraft III
:belkar: would be me! I have the best insane, psycopathic, maniacal laugh ever! GYAHAUGHGAUGHHAUGHHAUGH!!!

[NeonRonin]

Um, how many times has this discussion cropped up in the threads? I've lost count.

[AKA_Bait]

Um, how many times has this discussion cropped up in the threads? I've lost count.

Many, many, many. It's still fun to discuss though and those threads are deep in the forum graveyard.

That said:

:xykon: Christopher Walken
:mitd: Alan Rickman
:roach: The people who did the voices on the mice in 'Babe'
:thog: Aron Kincaid
:haley: Gabby Hoffman
:roy: Adam Goldberg
:elan: / :nale: Paul Bettany
:durkon: Christopher Plummer
:belkar: Brent Spiner
:sabine: Marina Sirtis
:miko: Arleen Sorkin
:redcloak: Will Friedle
:vaarsuvius: Mark Hamil (Yes, THAT Mark Hamil. I can think of few voice actors who could handle the ambiguity needed and he is one.)
Hinjo - George Newbern

Remember people, VOICES, not looks.

Oh yeah, director: Alfonso Cuarón

[Snipers_Promise]

:mitd: Cabbose from Red Vs Blue.

[Gabriel]

As the thread says title says Voices, so I'm going to say voices, not actors

:durkon: Scottish, natrually.
:xykon: British, with an echo.
:elan: Quite a girly voice, for this joke http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0088.html to work.
:vaarsuvius: Alternating between a girl and boy.
:haley: Quite a girly voice.
:thog: Thog is a 'done' voice, while smiling.
:miko: Asian, as with all the people of the south.
:sabine: Seductive all the time.
:mitd: Deep.
:roy: Gruff, with a friendly tone.
:nale: Same as Elan.
:roach: High and squeaky, like hampsters on helium.
:redcloak: Also British, but without the echo.
:belkar: A quick voice, like Quagmire off of Family Guy.

[Sajek]

:roy: Phil Lamar
:haley: Catherine Zeta Jones
:elan: Owen Wilson
:durkon: John Rhys-Davies
:vaarsuvius: Tilda Swinton
:belkar: Jack Black
:nale: Luke Wilson
:sabine: Hally Berry
:thog: Michael Clarke Duncan
:redcloak: Simon Pegg
:xykon: Christopher Walken
:miko: Lucy Liu
Hinjo: Dane Cook

Shojo: Ian McKellen

[tmacdevitt]

:elan: / :nale: Paul Bettany
:vaarsuvius: Mark Hamil (Yes, THAT Mark Hamil. I can think of few voice actors who could handle the ambiguity needed and he is one.)



I went back and checked all 9 pages before creating this thread.

I also thought of Paul Bettany, was that becaus of his portrayal of Chaucer? He stole every scene in that movie.

You are also dead on with Mark Hamil. His Joker voice is awesome.

[DraxtonSmitz]

Search is your friend. (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/search.php?searchid=262897)

[O.T.R]

:elan:/:nale: 3rding Paul Bettany. Or whoever did Guybrush's voice for
Monkey Island.
:haley: Sarah Silverman
:belkar: Definately not Jack Black or Dane Cook. Too wacky and
loud-mouthed. When in doubt, hire Billy West.
:durkon: Billy Connolly
:xykon: Not cultured British, Xykon's too brash and erratic.
I'd go with Will Arnett (Gob in Arested Development)
:redcloak: Christopher Guest (Nigel in Spinal Tap)
:mitd: Eddie Izzard. Or to clash with it's personality (and complement it's
bad***ery when revealed)...Tom Waits.

[Midnighter1021]

Mace Windu.
um skyshot do you know the name of the actor who plays Mace Windu....... His name is Samuel L Jackson. I think he would be good cuz most of u are basing probably alot of your ideas on his recent movies, but if you go back a bit you will see that he has alot of depth to him.

[Skyshot]

Look at the quoted content and get back to me.

[Ertier]

:roy: Samuel L. Jackson or Will Smith

:vaarsuvius: Tina Fey or Johnny Depp
:elan:/:nale: Kevin Smith, Owen Wilson or John Stamos
:belkar: Jack Nicholson, Danny Devito or Jack Black
:miko: Lucy Liu

:thog: Jim Cummings
:vaarsuvius: Sarah Strange (though the Mark Hamil proposal intrigues me)
:xykon: Frank Welker

[Faramir]

I always heard :belkar: as Trey Parker doing Cartman.


Same here.

[Fury1671]

I've done these like 11238789172 times but oh well.

:roy: Samuel L. Jackson. Period. He wins every male leading dark skinned male lead ever.

:haley: Amanda Bynes. Honestly, I don't like Bynes at all, but I think she fits the personality.

:durkon: Sean Connery. I don't know anyone with a better accent than he.

:elan: Ashton Kutcher. He's got the silly part down.

:vaarsuvius: Mark Hamil. He does enough voice overs as it is, so I know he can do it.

:belkar: Danny DeVito. See Goldmember. Psycho midget? His part.

Time for Team Evil (smilies at least):

:xykon: George Carlin. I just hear his voice. I don't know why.

:redcloak: Simon Pegg. I dunno it fits for me.

:mitd: Will Ferrell. Same thing with Carlin. The voice just hits me.

Linear Guild:

:nale: Ashton Kutcher. I think he can do both twins justice.

:sabine: Halle Berry. I don't see a Succubus shapeshifting into anyone else on this Earth.

:thog: Microsoft Sam/???? I really don't know who could do the stupid guy better than a computer generated voice.

[Shatteredtower]

:roy: Samuel L. Jackson. Period. He wins every male leading dark skinned male lead ever.Mr. Jackson is a celebrity. Mr. Fishburne is an actor.

Laurence Fishburne for the win. :smalltongue:

[ag30476]

:xykon: I can't help hearing his lines with the voice of Grim from the Billy & Mandy (Greg Eagles)

[Xerillum]

Naw, his voice is too... not like Xykon's personality.

:belkar: Gilbert. Gottfried.

[ag30476]

:belkar: Gilbert. Gottfried.
Like that one. Parrot. Halfling. he's got the small annoying evil comic relief character down pat.

[Demonicbunny]

Well. If it ever becomes a live action movie I'm thinking Shawn and Aaron Ashmoore as :nale: and :elan:

[Tyrmatt]

I totally support Hugh Laurie as Xykon. Durkon however MUST be voiced by Robbie Coltrane (Harry Potter's Hagrid) both for the accent and the irony of him being about 6`6" :D
I need to stop fantasising about the OotS movie..

[Emperor Ing]

Dont we all? :smallamused:

C'mon it could work rich! You already have a massive fanbase! :smallbiggrin:

[KAZMYR]

MitD is definitely voiced by the guy who does Elmo on Sesame Street (It's a good immature ,gender neutral voice)

[Thrivol]

Elan and Nale would easily be played by Cary Elwes.

Haley: Famke Janssen

Roy: Will Smith

Durkon: Sean Connery

Belkar: Elijah Wood. So many great jokes could be made with that.

V: I really have no idea. Whoever was Ra, in Stargate, could play him (at least in looks) I guess.

Hinjo: Sean Bean.

[Twilight Jack]

I'm liking SquidThingy's suggestion of Cary Elwes for Elan/Nale. I also like Nicholas Brendon or Alan Tudyk.

For V, I've always liked Tilda Swinton.

[mockingbyrd7]

For Belkar, absolutely, the Sicilian from Princess Bride: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUee1WvtQZU

[EntilZha]

:belkar: Either Denis Leary or Bill Hicks

:durkon: I agree with the OP about Billy Connolly

:elan: I also agree with the OP about Alan Tudyk. I can easily hear Wash from "Firefly" whenever I read Elan's lines.

:xykon: Jeremy Kemp (Hissah Zul from the Conan TV series)

[KAZMYR]

Durkon = Gimli / the person who does Griswold in Diablo

[mockingbyrd7]

Durkon = Gimli / the person who does Griswold in Diablo

Hmm, I like Gimli as Durkon.

Durkon = Gimli guy
Belkar = Princess Bride Sicilian (see my previous post)

[tigerhawkvok]

:durkon: -- James Doohan, of course! If he were still alive :(

[Randalor]

I find the best voices tend to be little-known or brand new voices, otherwise you spend too much time trying to place the voice and not enough enjoying it. Saying that: I nominate some random people off the street to do the voices.

[tezrik]

Xykon = James Woods. Hands down.

[damieus]

I would like to see Bill Nighy in there somewhere, possibly as Xykon.

[TheMeanDM]

The start of my list...to be added to:

:belkar: = Billy Zane

If you've ever seen Demon Knight, I personally think he makes an awesome bad guy :)

"And a via con diablos to you, too, sir."

"Do me a favor? Don't scream. Just hear what I've gotta say... and then scream."

[Dalenthas]

Every male character: Billy West, in some variation or other. The guy is that talented.
Haley: Heather Locklear
V: Cristina Ricci
Miko: Glenn Close

[Capt'n Ironbrow]

:xykon: Rowan Atkinson as in the 2nd 3d and 4th blackadder series off course, the "Oh dear, you moderately inconvenienced me" sentence is enough for me to advocate this type of voice...
:mitd: Baldrick of the same series (he's so dumb!)

[tonberryking]

Just for fun I keep picturing a younger Alan Oppenheimer as the voice of :xykon:. For you young whippersnappers, he's the original voice of Skeletor from the old He-Man cartoons.

[Rajhiim]

:belkar: --- Christopher Walken (Click)

:xykon: --- Hugo Weaving (V for Vendetta) or Jeremy Irons

:elan: --- John Heder (Napolean Dynamite)

:durkon: --- Bill Connolly (Monty Python/Last Samurai)

:redcloak: --- Alan Rickman (Dogma)

:vaarsuvius: --- Molly Shannon (Evan Almighty) or Mark Hamill

:haley: --- Zooey Deschanel (Elf/Hitchiker's Guide)

:thog: --- Andre the Giant (or an impersonator)

:mitd: --- Mike Tyson/James Earl Jones (based on scene)

:roy: --- Danny Glover (Lethal Weapon)

:nale: John Heder --- (School for Scoundrels)

:sabine: --- Kathleen Turner (Romancing the Stone)

:roach: --- Generic high pitched voices (Joe's Apartment) OR Chris Rock or Chris Tucker (recurring)



Ahh who are we kidding, there are so many good voices out there - I doubt we could use "known" voice actors and be truly happy.

[Ancalagon]

Strange it did not get mentioned. Who has read SoD knows how Xykon sounds. Xykon: '"Luke, I am your father". Sounds like him, yes?'

So, you can only go for James Earl Jones (in the Vader-Mode).

[dayflow]

it took me forever to realize this. when i hear :thog: in my head, he has cookie monster's voice! for everyone else, no idea.

[maitreyi]

Thog would have a cookie monster voice.:thog:

Sean Connery would be a great Durkon.:durkon:

I see Roy as American, and Varsuuvius with a haughty British or French accent.:roy: :vaarsuvius:

Haley and Elan should be American, and Belkar... I don't know about Belkar.
:belkar: :belkar: :belkar: :belkar: :belkar: :belkar: :belkar: :belkar: :belkar:

Yep, I go tmy copy of SoD last night and its clear that Xykon has a similiar voice to James Earl Jones, albeit not quite as deep.

[I'm da Rogue!]

I always heard :belkar: as Trey Parker doing Cartman.



I've never seen this thread before but last night I dreamt about Oots (addicted, hah?) and the only voice I could actually hear was Cartman's.. Belkar's!
:belkar: 's voice should be Cartman.
Ftw.

[Surfing HalfOrc]

Just finished SoD, and I now have a new voice locked into my head for :xykon: :Stone Cold Steve Austin.

What can I say. Xykon is a bit more "wordy" than Stone Cold, but for pure attitude? Spot on match.

[Suraht]

:belkar: Danny DeVito. See Goldmember. Psycho midget? His part.

Goldmember? As in Austin Powers? Wasn't DeVito only in that role for about 10 seconds? Although I do think Verne Troyer would work.


For :xykon:, I have to put Jon Stewart in the running. Last year, I got stuck going to see the movie Doogal(which I really don't recommend watching, at all), and Stewart voices the evil wizard in that, and the attitude is extremely similar to Xykon's.

[Sajek]

Actualy, correction,
:belkar:Bender, from Futurama. He is just perfect for it.

[tmacdevitt]

Actualy, correction,
:belkar:Bender, from Futurama. He is just perfect for it.

Bender is a lot like Belkar, an evil creature who still has a "lovable":smalleek:
quality. I'm not sure his voice would be right, it has more of a jolly quality to it, and we know from http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0435.html
That Belkar is not Jolly :smallsmile:
