    The fact that Cortanna and Princess Peach are the same person totally blows my mind.

    Damn it Nintendo put more voice acting in your games!!!

    Voice actors are so damn under appreciated in media, not just games, but media in general.


    That gruff bass or subtle baritone in someone's voice can add an entirely new dimension to the enjoyment of something. Be it narration, characterization or anything really. Bad voice acting can make or break an experience for someone, whereas good voice acting can transcend the experience to something more.


    Especially when it comes to animation and video games, Voice actors bring life into the characters we come to love and despise. All you need to hear is one word or phrase from them and a flood of memories can come flooding to your mind.


    I, for one, love the work they do and appreciate the hell out of it.

    I'll always remember the realisation that the guy who does the voice of Illidan in World of Warcraft, is the same guy who does the voice for Johhny Bravo - sassy!

    He may be a muppet for doing that compo advert but his gangster-esque role in Eastenders was a bit of alright.

    Being a movie and tv geek, I love this stuff. Always fun trying to figure out who's voice that is. My all time favorite movie to game actor... Michael Ironside (Total Recall baddie).

    @evbartoszak: It's a great psychological thriller.


    Ironside is also Rasczak in Starship Troopers.
