I thought you all might be interested in this..

I thought it was pretty neat to see a connection between GW and other beloved games and animes of mine

Interesting. IMO, his voice changes dramatically from Gates of Kryta to Bloodstone. In Bloodstone, he sounds a lot like Rexxar from Warcraft III...though Rexxar isn't on that list.

Toonami (Cartoon Network Block) as the host, TOM

Tom is Sexy!

lol j/k but wow thats pretty cool....I never really thought about who did the voice acting it's kinda intresting to see all the things some one's done and know what most of em are

Nothing more intersting than listening to him speak in one of the cut scenes, and my b/f randomly adding lines from the outtakes of Rurouni Kenshin where the guy voice-acts as Makoto Shishio... makes the cut scenes sooo much more entertaining.

Is it bad form to link your own thread?

Anyway, I brought this very thing up about a year ago.

I also read the other day that he is doing the voice of Vincent on the upcoming english release of Final Fantasy: Advent Children.

Drop my pants!? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!?

You do know you're evil, right? Thanks for changing to your own account.. and.. I WAS trying to have a sip of tea when I read that post..

TheMosesPHD · Apr 06, 2006, 02:15 AM // 02:15

:O Did I miss something? All the sudden people are talking about dropping pants and evil!

lg5000 · Apr 06, 2006, 02:28 AM // 02:28

Yes, you missed my first post here

where I pointed out that watching cut scenes with Makoto Shishio's outtake lines added was entertaining. Sekkira, who of course, knows this and is responsible for it happening in the first place, just happened to quote a line from it, almost making me spill tea over my keyboard.

Wow, this guy is in just about every one of my favorite anime.

Murder In China · Apr 06, 2006, 03:03 AM // 03:03

Whoa, I never noticed he did all of those roles.

The Renegade Healer · Apr 06, 2006, 03:32 AM // 03:32

this is amazing, i love his rolls in any of the shows/games i reconize, but his acting in Guild Wars was absolutly horrendous, mostly because of that dramatic (and fake) change of tone at bloodstone fen.

But then again, there is no good voice acting in Guild Wars. I suppose even a good voice actor will fall in the midst of a terrible VO

(nothing against the game, some of my favorite games have absolutly sickening VOs)

"OMG, Steven Blum, not you AGAIN!!!"

seriously i loved some of teh animes he voiced, but i think he was only really good as Spike Spiegel.

He NEVER changes his voice. Its always him. Maybe a little hoarser or what not.

He also voiced one of the dwarves in the conversation between Brechnar and two other dwarves.

"I could have heard i heard shouts of men" or something. Thats Steven Blum too.

Le Sigh...If its not Steven Blum, Its Scott Mcneil. If its not Scott Mcneil, its Richard Cox, if its not Richard Cox, Its Cam Clarke.

~_~ There needs to be more variety in voice actors, seriously.

Lateralus · Apr 06, 2006, 04:33 AM // 04:33

You know your cool when you do the voices of cartoons and games.

Killmur · Apr 06, 2006, 04:35 AM // 04:35

I give Lyra a box of chocolate chip cookies! Thanx for pointing out that one of my fav Bebop characters was voiced by Steven Blum. Yes I am a huge Cowboy Bebop fan. Even have the movie.

JiggyFly · Apr 06, 2006, 04:41 AM // 04:41

I always love how when you look up an actor or actress, it's almost crazy how many roles they've actually had. Like Steve was a voice actor for a ridiculous amount of animes and video games.

...but yeah Wikipedia owns.

Murder In China · Apr 06, 2006, 04:42 AM // 04:42

I wonder how rich he is now...

NoChance · Apr 06, 2006, 05:35 AM // 05:35

it doesn't help the voice acting that nobody's mouth moves during the cut scenes -- makes the scenes look really weird to me.

too bad it's probably too expensive for Anet to add mouth movements.

Ulivious The Reaper · Apr 06, 2006, 05:37 AM // 05:37

It was kinda obvious that it was him, if you were a good fan of any of the shows it was OBVIOUS lol

Killmur · Apr 06, 2006, 05:40 AM // 05:40

Yea now that I read this thread I can tell in my mind that it is the same guy that voiced Spike.
