First of all thing i hate in GW voice acting is that one damn voice is used for all males! >_< i hate it!!!!!!! voice it self is ok but hearing it every time is making me go mad!Please Anet,let us have more voice options for the characters!!!

Now said that .. Logan 90,by what right you saying that humans should be only American/British? What other ppl arent humans? Why charr should be Russian?Just cause you think all Russian got funny acsent? or you still hate them as enemy?BTW,Prince Rurik is the actualy figure from hystory,he was a real Russian prince.Asura is small but why should it be Japanies? Japanies language rules if you didnt know but still ,its a human language,not Asuran!
I rather have other races talk like in Starwars,you hear sounds but its not human sounds.
Now to Cullen.I Dont Want any Autobot propoganda in GW!!! So i dont want him,too damn nobel.
Welker,Master of Thousand voices is another thing all together.I'd love to have Megatrons original voice for my warrior cause damn it demanded respect!
Also Welker is the master of animal voices,he is the perfect candidate to do the Charr voice like he did Ravages voice once in TF:G1.

Stop messing with my religion dammit!!
But, yes, I agree- Frank Welker is another voice-genious... Soundwave's voice any1? -,- "Wammo, Emmo, Nuker- eject. Operation- destruction"

But seriously, about the voices in GW... I agree that some were soft- it just semms funny when assassin (guy with job to kill) tries to comfort Kormir and other ppl... Yeah, I know- there can't be special dialogue for each character, but still...

Now, what is with that "Only American/British"? Other ppl can't speak or what? Or maybe other ppl don't know english? Oh, btw logan- Russians dont sound 'funny' or whatever... In fact, I can't think of nation that is 'funny' to hear...
In fact, I can find you an Italian guy whose voice will suck
But I bet I can also find you an Italian guy whose voice would rock you out of your shoes...
(No offence Italy- just little example)

Since the game has a very large majority of human players the game will have to be based around human languages so that we can understand it, and since there is also a very large majority of english speakers it would also have to be in english, so I losted some accents I like and thought might fit with those races.

American/British for Humans because that's what most already sound like in GW1(although it could change over 200 years), Jamaican for Norns because I think it sounds good, etc. Wouldn't you like to play a Russian Charr? Charr Mafia ftw.

Whats mafia got to do with it?And i doubt its a majority rule of english.In any case i hope they give in Russian version charr the english accent so i could slay them.
About already sounds... change your voice acting to german and youll hear every voice in german .And the last point,you think too much.

I was thinking of a yoda-type voice for the Asuras too. The Asuras in GW2 will NOT look like the mini Asuras. They look a lot like Yoda.

I don't care really-as long as the voice acting is somewhat decent and better than it was in Guild Wars 1.....


Factions-Asian-themed: Not the best job on asian accents

Nightfall-African-Middle Eastern themed: Not the best job on african/middle eastern accents

I have nightmares that everybody in GW2 will either sound like Danika, Shiro, or Erol...that mangy guy from the Surmia mission.

/shudder

Actually Erol was always a good time...I loved the Surmia cutscenes before the lipsynch update. Oh...the ventriloquist jokes...

Yes, it's true, I have nothing tangible to add to this discussion. Wait....my brain fails me...who did the voice of Lion-O? I could live with some of that in GW2. Charr, HOOOOOOOOO!!

That's a great idea. Who knows....you might get your wish in GW2 if they do facial motion capturing (I'm not sure of the correct term...like what they did in 3D animations) . If they can do something like Final Fantasy XII that would be awesome (great voice acting + emotional facial display) .

I already play GW with the cinematics set to French. I wonder if they add accents to the characters meant to have accents in English (eg. the Russian dwarves)?

Did anyone else notice that in the Luxon missions Togo acquires a Chinese accent out of the blue, but then it disappears again?

I don't think I'd like that, I already watch the shows he narrates, i think that would be too much.
