on voice acting

[xparrot]

...In Mass Effect. (You weren't getting away that easily, sorry! :P) I do love voice acting, and this vid is a great example - it's a clip of Garrus's VA as a bit role on Castle, and it's awesome because he doesn't sound like Garrus at all...until the one minute mark when his voice drops and then he's instantly recognizable. Which everyone freaks out about in the comments, when they're not discussing Garrus chatting with Mal Reynolds... (I gotta say, I'm used to youtube comments being the bottom of the internet barrel, but for some reason a lot of the comments on ME-related clips are gold.)

On the subject of voice acting: did you notice that Mordin was voiced by two different actors in ME2 and ME3? I was rather shocked when I found out.:)

Haha I remember watching that video! And also being like, wow, this guy doesn't normally sound like Garrus at all... and then BOOM he's Garrus instantly lol. <3

Honestly though, Jennifer Hale is like, my VA queen. I LOVE her. And mostly it's not until I look it up that I realise it's her. I only just found out the other day that she's the VA for Avatar Kyoshi in A:TLA- that one blew my mind :)
