OotS voice actor brainstorm

[HamsterKun]

OP is a Critical Role fan, I see

I think Laura Bailey would be the perfect Haley. I listened to the Ash Ketchum recordings and I think OP's pick for Elan could work. I agree with Mark Hamill as Xykon. I think you can do much better for V though. I think their voice actor should do a very mellow voice that doesn't go up or down in pitch much. Tilda Swinton comes to mind. You could also go the route of a braggy know-it-all sort of thing, which is probably why so many people suggest Benedict Cumberbatch.

I disagree with Liam as Roy. I think it should be someone with a much deeper voice, like Idris Elba or The Rock. I was even thinking James Earl Jones.

Last note: someone mentioned Matt Smith as Belkar. I only knew him from Doctor Who, so my first thought was, "Are you crazy?" Then I decided to watch a clip of his from Terminator 5.

Holy s***, Matt Smith could totally be Belkar. I fully support this.

Mary Elizabeth McGlinn voiced Naoto Shirgane in the Persona 4 anime. To be fair though, it was hard finding a VA with a convincingly andrgynous voice, because V’s gender is meant to be ambiguous.

- Liam O’Brien
- Laura Bailey
- Sarah Natochenny
- Mary Elizabeth McGlinn
- Christopher Sabat
- Vic Mignogna

What do you think about this casting?

Much as I like Liam and Laura their voices aren't quite how I imagine most to sound. Personally I'd prefer Vaarsuvius to be voiced by a trans person but I think Mary could do them justice. And uh,I would prefer if Vic Mignogna never worked again but that's a whole other can o' piranhas

I always find it super weird when people come up with castings like this, like when people say he should be played by Samuel L. Jackson. It's not how I imagine Roy at all. James Earl Jones is 88 years old for crying out loud!! Roy is like 27!

Now, James Earl Jones for Horace Greenhilt? Perhaps...

And in my point that James Earl Jones’ Voice is too epic I forget that he’s too old :p. But yeah, Roy should sound young (and that is a priority over being black, because this is voice acting and that stuff is the norm), I very much like James Earl Jones making my current fancast (based mostly on others suggestions:
Vin Diesel
/ Mark Hamill (can’t decide which he should be)
James Earl Jones

My cast has none of the main characters? What are you talking about? This is clearly an acceptable amount of casting.

On the Durkon thing mentioned awhile ago, as ridiculous as possible, it can be a Scottish person hightening their accent, or a non-Scottish person putting on an accent, but it shouldn’t sound real.

[Morgana]

James Mathis III as Roy maybe?

[Wizard_Lizard]

Morgan Freeman as Thor...

[Squire Doodad]

Morgan Freeman as Thor...

He is quite the godly actor, eh?

[BehemothDeTerre]

Haley: Sophie Turner?
V: SIr Patrick Stewart
Roy: Idris Elba?
Durkon: need a Scott, to not mess up the accent. I'm thinking Iain Glen.
Elan: Billy West
Belkar: Dan Castellaneta
Thor: Johan Hegg. Only person in the world to be qualified for the role.
Xykon: David Hayter.

[GreyTraveller]

Just watch a animated short film where Hamill is kidnaped by the Joker and the Trickster, and he escapes by making them to fight each other by mimicking their voices.

I remember that. That was awesome.

[Wizard_Lizard]

yes. In fact, morgan freeman shlud voice everyone...
(put the above text in blue...)

[Morgana]

Thor should be Travis Willingham

[Schroeswald]

Spoiler: The rest of my list

Show

Vin Diesel
/ Mark Hamill (can’t decide which he should be)
James Earl Jones

I’ve been looking around and I think that I have another cast member for my list:
+ A.J. LoCascio

EDIT: and looking at this I’m thinking that Mark Hamill should be both Xykon and Tarquin, so my new total list is:
Vin Diesel
+ Mark Hamill
James Earl Jones
+ A.J. LoCascio

[Squire Doodad]

yes. In fact, morgan freeman shlud voice everyone...

Yeah definitely. We don't need actors anymore, just ramp up cloning tech and give us 500 Morgan Freemans.

Thanks to a live-action-movie variant on this thread idea from years back, Lord Shojo is now voiced in my head by George Takei.

Pretty sure that was my fault. You're welcome.

Karl Urban would make a great Durkon. Or a great Xykon. After his performance in The Boys, I've seen how he can play extremely sinister and friendly at the same time.

Bradley Cooper is already accustomed to voicing short, angry, psychotic characters so why not

Has anyone beat me in suggesting Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark) as Haley?

For that matter, I've always thought Jason Momoa was underrated... I can hear him as Roy.

And Gwendoline Christie as V.

Got to fit Samuel L Jackson in there somewhere. Probably as Eugene, since he does such a great job with any comedic material he's given and that role would give him so much scenery to chew.

[Wizard_Lizard]

Yeah definitely. We don't need actors anymore, just ramp up cloning tech and give us 500 Morgan Freemans.

I think that's your problem right there whoops.

Is the 3ds treated like a mobile device by the server? Can it even actually get here?

[Sniccups]

I love the idea of Kristen Schaal as Tsukiko, and Patton Oswalt as Blackwing.

I would also like to mention a proposal from an older thread on this topic: Jack Black as Belkar.

[tawnyterror]

I was going through this thread & listening to everybodies proposals for vaars voice, and while I was very iffy on most of them, mikel dever-o'neil as sent in by grey watcher REALLY nails it on the head in my opinion. just about exactly how I imagined, (a perfect mix of wise-old-aunt & foolish elf!)
