Best voice acting
Hard to choose but I will go with Roy Conrad as Ben. My other favorites are Tim Curry as Gabriel Knight and Tony Plana as Manny.
|
Mmm Robby Benson as Alexander
|
Rob Brydon as Lewton in Discworld Noir.
|
The guy who voiced Robert Cath. And the girl who voiced Tatiana, the tragic Russian princess. Both in The Last Express.
|
The guy who did Boston Low in The Dig. He had a very profound voice. And he could sound alone, funny or dramatic. (LOL, just remembered that monologue at the edge of the... dunno what it was, where there were some lights, very funny stuff)

Manny in Grim Fandango.
Also Mephisto in Faust. |
Again, Tim Curry, in Frankenstein. Best voice in the worst game ever.

Every LucasArts game had great voiceacting too. Sherlock Holmes in the Rose Tattoo. Little Feeble and the brilliant voice actress who did several NPGs in the game, like Feeble's mother, the girl in the telephone booth, the secretary. Dalboz in Zork Grand Inquisitor. |

Thinking off the top of my head...
All of the Curse of Monkey Island acting was excellent... pretty much every voice was exactly the sort of voice I'd imagine the character having. Maria and Dr. Morgan in Sanitarium. Zelda and the "Main Bad Guy" in The Space Bar. Doug Lee as Indy in Fate of Atlantis... he almost does a better Harrison Ford than Harrison Ford. Sophia's VA was good, too. Gary Owens in Space Quest 4 & 6. Mark Hamill as Mosely in Gabriel Knight 1. Peace & Luv, Liz |
DoTT, Sam&Max, Curse of MI.. Yes, every single LA game is voiced professionally.
I choose Bernard, Ben, Guybrush, Murray and Glottis. Also Woodruff had a wonderful voice, Rincewind (by Eric Idle), computer in Y2K: The Game (by Dan Castellaneta) and lamp in Zork: Grand Inqusitor. Oh, and William S. Burroughs was so great in Dark Eye! |
In the Swedish version of TLJ an actress called Regina Lund does the voice of April. She does an excellent job. Compared to (english version) April in Dreamfall which I presume is the same actress as in TLJ, her Swedish voice suits her much better IMO.

That girl who works in the coatroom at Manny Calaveras casino in Grim Fandango.Gotta love her squeeky voice.:) :kiss:
I love Christopher Walken, he stars in Ripper so he´s perfect for this thread.:D Too bad i can´t get the damn game to work on Windows XP.:frusty: :shifty: EDIT: The girl in Grim Fandango is named Lupe, and is played by Teri Ivens |
The narrator (you know, the guy that comments everythinhg you do) in Space Quest 6.
|
Speaking of Narrators, John Rhys-Davis was great in Quest for Glory 4.
|
Has got to be Jack Angel, who voiced Wonkers in Dreamfall. His sad yet comforting voice will haunt me forever.
|
Rolf Saxon, hands down. Nobody has made me laugh harder--for all the right reasons. When I played Broken Sword 4 and heard his voice, it was like reuniting with an old, dear friend after years of separation. :D
|
The voice actors for Gabriel Knight were great and the narrator and cast for QFG4 were awesome.
Oh and also Chief Morssen in Culpa Innata. Gods... she sounded really intimidating and fierce. |
And for a cast at large, my vote goes to the folks who participated in Curse of Monkey Island. Can't think of a clinker in the lot.
|
So hard to pick just one … but Manny in Grim was amazing. Some other great actor/voices: George in Broken Sword, Charlie in Df and Ghen in Riven.
|
I agree with Tony Plana, Robbie Benson and Jack Angel. I also enjoyed Dominic Armato as Guybrush Threepwood, Rolf Saxon as George Stobbart and Sarah Hamilton as April Ryan.
|
I have to give a lot of credit to Sarah Hamilton for causing me to care so much for April. I really liked Zoe's accent too in Dreamfall.
Also, I remember really liking that guy who was the voice of Beast in Beauty & The Beast....he was the voice for Prince Alexander in Kings Quest VI. |
Fahrenheit, the lead character had brilliant voice acting.
|
Rolf Saxon as George Stobbart definitely, in fact the entire cast of Broken Sword 1, 2 & 3. Dominic Armato as Guybrush Threepwood including the rest of the cast for CofMI, the guy who plays Lewton in Discworld Noir, Eric Idle as Rincewind, Tim Curry in Gabriel Knight 1 (his voice acting in 3 sounded a tad over the top compared to the first), Mark Hamill as Mosely. I'd also agree that the voice acting in the LucasArts games are excellent, even though the guy who does the voice of Marcus Brody in FoA was laughable. :D
|
David Boyll as Hugh Bliss in Bright Side of the Moon.
|
I really like James Woods he hasnt been in too many but the ones I know are
surf's up scarface kingdom hearts 1&2 grand theft auto of light and darkness hecules He has the perfect evil voice and I loved him in kingdom hearts and of light and darkness. |
Couple of performances really stand out.
Tim Curry as Gabe, Dominic Armato as Guybrush, Sarah Hamilton as April Ryan and Jan Rabson as Larry Laffer. Almost every voice over in Curse of Monkey Island is amazingly well performed. Also love the voice overs in Quest for Glory 4 and King's Quest 6. Same goes for Sanitarium and Toonstruck. Worst voice over: Fable (the adventure game that is :) ) |
Nina and Max from Secret files: Tunguska and all the characters from all Nancy Drew games.
|
My favorite is Manny in Grim Fandango. Love him and the game.
|
Lewton in Discworld Noir.
|
I thought Charity James as Grace (in GK3) was really impressive, and perfectly managed to convey the subtleties of her character.
|
I agree with everyone who has said the cast of COMI. I also think that everyone from Grim Fandango did a fantastic job, especially Paula Killen who voiced Olivia.

Manny in Grim Fandango
Guybrush in MI ... Murray in MI ... actually, almost all of MI The narrator (John Rhys-Davis) in QFG4 The narrator (Gary ... something) in the Space Quest games - spectacular!! The various voices in Dark Fall were very well done. I'm sure there are more, but I'm blanking. |
I love that the actor who play Hercule Poirot in the tv series/movies does the voice acting for him in Murder on the Orient express... Then ofcourse, MI, all tim Currys voice acting and oh, too many to think of...

Voice actors
Does anyone know who did the voice for Nina in Secret Files: Tunguska in the US release?
She sounds so familiar to me and I can't help but wonder where I've heard that voice before. It almost sounds like Mission Vao (Cat Taber) from KOTOR but I can't be certain. Anyone know where to find the US voice cast? :) Virtually yours... |

My favourite voice-acting may be in Toonstruck. The whole of it. |

I looked around and I can't find it. I'm not sure why it's such a secret. :P |
