Voice Acting

I would really like it if you did a WHOLE lot of auditioning for talent if you are going to give the NPCs voices, so many games even with voice acting don't look hard enough for talent and often the voices come out cheezy, after playing for a while I realize just how much I actually miss diablo 2 just because of the voice acting.
I love virtual brutality so save it for the Mobs...

The voice actors they have gotten so far seem fine. You mainly get bad voice acting in other language games converted to English. Drakenstein rive of time is prime example of this.
Cheaper than free... Speedtree
We're still going through the process of writing/auditioning the actors. We'll make sure to get decent voices :)

This is something that will be added by Open Beta hopefully.

Oh goodie! This may seem like such a small complaint, but simple things like this make a big difference. Things like (incoming D2 examples) Blood Raven saying "My army will destroy you!", and memorable NPC quotes like "stay awhile and listen!"

All this little stuff is very helpful in making a game memorable and imersive by providing it a personality. It is the biggest issue with the games presentation thus far, as the graphics, atmosphere, and music are top notch.
Just a heads up, porn stars make great female voice actors.

The female you have doing the voice in the Witch Trailer is outstanding, please use her.

Ban-Kai! lol. Yeah real voice actors, for the creatures get in touch with the Avatar the Last Air Bender crew they have one dude make all of the animal noises and he does an AWESOME JOB (if he's interested/ you can afford him/ he's willing to work with you) Also Mako from Avatar TLA and Samurai Jack would make for an excellent NPC!

i miss the voice a lot, make you feel more entangled in the characters, and i think even the mains should say something from time to time, like the old "this place stench of death" i love voice overs, and i like the witch voice over from the video too.
Suggestion - give gold or diamond supporters the option to voice some NPCs. Add in rare easter egg NPCs just for that reason even!

Wow, that's awesome. How much voice acting can we expect to be implimented? Will all the npc quest text be voice? If so, that'll be really great, adding voice over text to npcs make a huge difference!

Cancel that, I see my question has already been answered :

We completely understand that voice acting is an integral part of immersion in a game like POE. We also believe it's an excellent way to communicate the story and lore to players. When POE is ready for open release, it will contain full voice overs for all NPC dialogue, boss encounters, and player observations of areas and enemies. Nearly all the voice overs have already been written, it's just a matter of getting them recorded by professional voice actors. I promise you're going to LOVE the end result, I have very high standards for this kind of thing!

I think that would be difficult logistically, I doubt many gamers have access to a recording studio or studio grade microphone.
