Who would be your character's voice actor?

[TheLastCandle]

I began thinking a little about this after a conversation with a friend where we mused over who her character's voice actor would be. And it got me thinking about it for my own characters. For the most part, Square Enix gave us an extremely diverse range of voice options for all races. However, as roleplayers we are creatures of imagination, and there is rarely a 100% perfect match for any given character. I know I can't be alone in this, and I was surprised that I couldn't find a thread for it, so let's have one! With a catch...

 

Besides yourself, pick a voice actor fitting the character(s) of the person posting before you. If you haven't interacted with them before, no problem! Just base it off of their character's appearance, or how they're described in their Wiki entry, or just.. what you hear in your head when they post. It doesn't matter, as it's only in part an RP exercise; it's mostly just for fun. I'll start with my two fellas:

 

Yvelont Navarre - Rutger Hauer (though, these days, he is getting quite up there in age)

[video=youtube]

 

In large part because I had just finished watching this for the umpteenth time when I created the character. The last name is no coincidence, either.

 

Kendha'to Burwani - Tomokazu Sugita

Because you mentioned Navarre from Ladyhawke, I am giving you +1 to reputation.

 

I would say, interestingly enough... that Gus Pumpkinweed would sound like:

 

[align=center]Philippe "The Mouse" Gaston[/align]

 

 

Though perhaps more broken and rube like given the way he speaks. Matthew Broderick is awesome.

 

 

However I am interested in hearing what people think he would sound like? I'd imagine that despite what I chose, people will have varying opinions; someone once said they imagine Gus sounding like James Earl Jones. *shrugs*

[Aya]

I'm actually kind of curious who other people would think Aya's voice sounds like.. I haven't really thought about it myself, though to get her accent right you'd need a French speaker, and I do not know many French actresses..

[S'imba]

I think mine should be pretty obvious Matthew Broderick.

[Dresden Voltaire]

For Dresden? Steve Valentine. British accent and all.

Why, Anne Parillaud, of course!

But perhaps that's because I've always pictured C'kayah as voiced by Jean Reno...

Ohh, I love this topic!! I actually have seiyuus added to my character's wikis. I tend to take a long time finding any suitable seiyuu for my characters, but I had it crystal clear in FFXIV:

 

Sakamoto Maaya for Clover, hands down. I can't find any character she has voiced who might speak exactly like my character, but I know Maaya's "normal girl" ring is perfect for her.

I only have this song that might suit Clover.

Tamura Yukari for K'mih. Her adorable voice is just so perfect and can sound very innocent. Here's a compilation roles; I guess K'mih would be most similar to Nanoha (4:43) (?).

Should've kept me original post.

Because Mylene asked for it.. Hibito Yarato, AKA the Artist Formerly Known As Yvelala.

[Kage]

When I think about Kage i hear Miyano Mamoru's voice. Specifically his role as Fubuki shirou from Inazuma Eleven.

I always emote Denn having a deep and thunderous voice. The only voice I think comes close to it is.

And Cyrinius of course would be...

I originally thought of him using the more feminine voice in the later Dynasty Warrior games, but decided to deepen it up a little more.

[K'nahli]

Nice topic (^^) I'll try to contribute asap.

[TheLastCandle]

Good English voice for Kendha'to, courtesy of Ciel. Troy Baker.

 

[video=youtube]

"..Bring it on!"

[Siha]

Ha ha ha I like his Japanese voice, I always imagine Kendha'to with a deeper voice for some reason. I'll see if I can find something.

[Roswyn]

I honestly had no idea who would voice Ros but Kayah knows her character pretty well and suggested this :lol: :

[Knight Kat]

Okay..... Here goes. TheLastCandle actually chose this voice for Kiht, and I think it's perfect. Regardless of whether or not people think the voice matches the character in the series, I think it does match Kiht pretty well.

 

 

I guess the VA's name is Trina Nishimura.

And I stand by it! I think it fits her perfectly.

[U'roh Tia]

I'd tend to envision quite a bit for Roh. But after alot of thinking I had to settle upon Kyle Herbert.

He has the confident voice that I envision for the Miqo.

[Ciel]

Okay, well here's mine for Ciel.  Kikuko Inoue, who has played the voice of Belldandy in Ah My Goddess, and I-No in Guilty Gear.  A great, mature-sounding voice, and she has a stellar singing voice.

Edit: As English voice actresses go that's a tougher one.  Kind of leaning toward Mary Elizabeth McGlynn, who voiced Rosso the Crimson in Dirge of Cerberus, Motoko Kusanagi in GiTS, and actually sings quite well.  The drawback is her singing voice is just a little bit deeper than what I had envisioned for Ciel, but there are plenty of other options there.  Sharon den Adel from Within Temptation?
