OotS voice actor brainstorm
I was thinking the other day about which voice actors would fit each member of the Order of the Stick, and what I thought of was:
- Liam O’Brien
- Laura Bailey
- Sarah Natochenny
- Mary Elizabeth McGlinn
- Christopher Sabat
- Vic Mignogna
What do you think about this casting?

Re: OotS voice actor brainstorm
I've always mentally read all of Elan's lines in the voice of Dominic Armata (Guybrush Threepwood, mighty pirate!).
Also, this might be a bit off the wall, but how about Sean Astin as Belkar? Regular voice, not gentle-British-hobbit voice though.Spoiler: This signature is a historical relic from a long-ago time of regular forum activity.Aww man! Even all the witty self referencing sigs are gone now!

Re: OotS voice actor brainstorm
Each one of us, alone, is but a drop in the sea
Our powers pale compared with the great heroes
Our battles don’t hit theheadlines or shake the earth
But they are few, can’t be everywhere, and we, many
So, when the world or universe needs saving, they come
But when people needs saving, we are the ones to appear
We're underdogs, but we rise up to the challenge to be heroes.

You'd just have to make this scene longer and give him some lines...

Re: OotS voice actor brainstorm
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.
Also, I imagined Roy as having a deeper voice than Liam O'Brien (though he did do Kain in the DS version of FF6, but Roy sounds less growly to me than that), so if he could pull of a lower pitch without the gimmick, I'd say sure.
Then again, that "speak 'n' spell" voice he did as part of one of those Critical Role oneshots would be perfect for any modrons that need voicing.

Re: OotS voice actor brainstorm
Derp. You're right. FF4. Not sure where that synaptic misfire came from.
I wonder if, for Durkon's voice, one should go for an authentic (or authentic-sounding) Scottish accent or you go for a cheesey, obviously fake one like James Doohan's? (Native Scotsman Craig Ferguson once joked he sounded like "a Pakistani man who'd had a stroke.") The former seems more respectful to Scottish people in general, the latter feels more in line with what's actually depicted in the comic.

Xykon sounds like Tim Curry to me. Redcloak, meanwhile, sounds like Tony Jay. That's Frollo, holmes!

Geez, what is it with that guy and needing to figure out all the fiddly little details?

I can imagine Calista Flockhart as Celia, though I don't think she has done voice acting.

Sorry, but it's got to be Larry. After retirement, of course. After all, he has the purrfect CV.

Re: OotS voice actor brainstorm
I can't really imagine Mark voicing Elan and Nale unless we time-traveled back to the seventies (though if you have like a video of him sounding young recently I'd love to see it), though I think it would also be funny if before Tarquin takes off his mask he's James Earl Jones, for extra comedic effect.

Re: OotS voice actor brainstorm
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.Originally Posted by Eliezer Yudkowsky

Re: OotS voice actor brainstorm
I'm thinking of Julia Sweeney (from It's Pat) as Varsuvius.
Or possibly Dan Mintz as Varsuvius
EDIT:
Kristen Schaal as Tsukiko
Billy West or Jeremy Shada as Elan
Richard Horvitz as Xykon and/or Belkar
Hayden Christensen as Tarquin
Carey Means as Roy (or possibly Xykon, Tarquin, or Redcloak)
either Dana Snyder or whoever is playing Elan as Nale
On that note, since you mentioned him, I'd go with Craig Ferguson himself as DurkonLast edited by Bohandas; 2019-07-26 at 11:17 AM.

Re: OotS voice actor brainstorm
Mikel Dever-O'Neil does an excellent "androgynous, overly-verbose elf" in Heroine's Quest (link contains spoilers for some puzzle/quest solutions), so he's got my vote for Vaarsuvius.

Re: OotS voice actor brainstorm
I always heard Leeky Windstaff in the voice of G1 Starscream, so my vote is for Doug Parker, on account of Chris Latta being dead and Doug doing a great imitation of him in the Beast Wars episode Possession.
I can't find the book but I remember Xykon doing James Earl Jones quotes from his various roles when he first becomes a lich, so probably him for Xykon (if anyone has the book, can they check?)
