General Discussion - Who are the voice actors? - Forum

" TechnoMage wrote: I love how almost all the voices have a touch of the kiwi accent in there. Glad to see GGG kept the voices local. Now I just have to get used to my ranger sounding like a kiwi (She has the strongest accent of them all imo) It's kind of weird as an Aussie to hear this accent in a game as most of the time English voice acting is all American. At least those kiwi's know how to speak properly. Probably sounds all "foreign" and middle earth like to the US players. :P Nah, dude. I'm from US, and I love her kiwi accent. :) In fact, I also like the general propensity for the voices to be kiwi. I mean Oraith is not US. It's not UK. It's its own place, and so it deserves it's own dialect, which isn't exactly common.

Having done a bit of acting myself, it's pretty customary to get a DVD copy and film credit/credit. It was mentioned somewhere else that there should be a voice acting credits list. And to not even get access to play the game in exchange for providing the voice acting for a main character, well.. that's an oversight on -somebody's- part. GGG should have given him one, not the community pulling for it. I have more battle scars than the number of hairs on your ass!

Agreed. Though, maybe there's a reason for it. Perhaps somebody just slipped up. My Keystone Ideas: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/744282	Posted by anubite#0701 on Oct 13, 2012, 9:28:09 PM Alpha Member Quote this Post
If you're still reading Alex, cheers bro I'll check that out. To the others - I have a mac so can't play it, and they never really asked if I wanted a key. Was just gonna wait til free release. What's funny is even though you hear bits of kiwi we were still trying to be slightly british. Guess it's harder to shake than I thought.

The voice of the shadow sounds a lot like Craig Parker of Shortland St and Lord of the Rings fame. And the "Inspirational Poem" you get when you complete Act 1 sounds a heck of a lot like Sam Hunt the iconic Kiwi poet, but they might just be impersonating his voice. Would be hella cool Kiwi Easter Egg if they actually recorded him :) Last edited by AlmightyMelon#7666 on Oct 29, 2013, 5:20:21 AM	Posted by AlmightyMelon#7666 on Oct 29, 2013, 5:19:32 AM Quote this Post
