Simon Templeman .Blood Omen was the first voice acted game I played that had good voice acting.

the LoK series remains the high watermark for VA as far as I'm concerned

 

[Alucrid]

it's crazy when you go down the rabbit hole of VAs. like how many, say, worked on bioshock infinite.

 

[Furious Styles]

Came here to post Nolan North. Glad to see he was already mentioned.

 

[neto]

Whoever made the voice of Maximillan Roivas in Eternal Darkness, anyway all the game has really good VA

 

[airmangataosenai]

Troy Baker and Jennifer hale

Not as familiar with Baker but his portrayal of Yuri in Vesperia definitely makes him cool in my book. I came in to give props to Hale too, she's a pro and always seems to give a solid performance. Tara Strong is decent too.

 

[Zeldana]

Cam Clarke, and pretty much anyone who was a VA in VLR.

 

[Hours Left]

Roger Craig Smith

Jamieson Price is pretty awesome too.

 

[Shinta]

Laura Bailey

 

[Feep]

Cam Clarke, and pretty much anyone who was a VA in VLR.

I know right

 

[zashga]

I love Dominic Armato as Guybrush Threepwood. Monkey Island games have pretty good voice work in general.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Nolan North, Troy Baker, Courtnee Draper, and Jennifer Hale.

Off the top of my head? I'd have to go with this crew

 

[Domino792]

To hard to decide between Nolan North and Troy Baker but for a female voice actor it would have to be Jenifer Hale.

Stopped being Lazy, and looked this stuff up. Going off individual performances that I remember:

In Silent Hill, James (Guy Cihi), Maria (Monica Horgan), Heather (Heather Morris), Eileen (Anna Kunnecke). I feel like the VA in Silent Hill 1 could have been great, but the dialogue was just too awkward to work with (due to translation). Particularly, Harry (Michael G), Cybil (Susan Papa), and perhaps Lisa (Thessaly Lerner).

In Siren's case, the VA were the actors. Okamoto Natsuki as Miyako and Hosokawa Seika as Reiko. In the British version, Hisako Yao is somewhat memorable (VA?). I would probably have to replay Siren 2 to make up my mind. But I'm inclined to think: Yuri, Kanae, etc (Takahashi Mai), Misawa Takeaki(Pierre Taki), Souji (Nakamura Eiji), Shuu (Nakaizumi Hideo).

Xenosaga's KOS-MOS (Bridget Hoffman), Albedo (Crispin Freeman), Ziggy (Richard Epcar), and perhaps Jr (Brianne Siddall).

 

[DJIzana]

Definitely Takaya Kuroda... the voice of Kazuma Kiryu.

This one line is just TOO badass!

[Brokun]

Troy Baker is pretty alright. Laura Bailey is solid. Liam O'Brien is good too. But I can't not love James Hong for his work on Diablo 3 as Covetous Shen.

 

[Meccanical]

The ones I don't recognize.

Seriously, that shit bothers me.

This is why I want more UK english voice work.

 

[Parfait]

Nicole Franti
Even her name matches up but oh my god her voice was so, so good.

 

[civilstrife]

Michael Mando.

 

[Meccanical]

Even her name matches up but oh my god her voice was so, so good.

Some really good casting choices in FFXII, some people found Fran's voice annoying but I found her accent utterly enchanting.

If there was ever a race of Amazonian rabbit women, that is what they would sound like. Had never heard an accent like hers before.

 

[encephalon]

Spoiler

I found Fran's voice irritating.

... : (

 

[Bittercup]

Roger Craig Smith <3 I absolutely love his voice
Udo Schenk, he's the German voice of Raziel in Soul Reaver 2 which for me sounds even better than the English one.
Troy Baker has a nice voice, too
Jennifer Hale as female Shepard, I wish my voice would sound like hers.

 

[FalconSabre]

Quinton Flynn, Nolan North, and Laura Bailey come to mind.

 

[kayos90]

So many Laura Baileys....

 

[QisTopTier]

I've always liked Cindy Robinson

 

[Kyzon]

David Hayter that snake voice is so instantly recognizable to me.

 

[Seventy5]

Anna Torv from Heavenly Sword. Bonus points for not being in a thousand other games.

 

[Spookie]

Nolan North - Having met the bloke he's an incredibly nice and charismatic guy. He's also really bloody good at his job.

 

[Trent Strong]

Troy Baker, Nolan North, Claudia Black, Laura Bailey, Steve Blum, and JYB.

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

Nolan North
Mark Hamill
Cam Clarke
John DiMaggio, whenever he's not doing his Marcus Fenix voice.

 

[botty]

Jesse McCartney for his underrated work as Roxas

 

[Mr Swine]

Earl Boen as Ghost Pirate Le Chuck
Jim Cumming as anyone (skyrim as an example)

There are a few more but that's what I can think of right now :O

 

[Kfpojo]

Paul Eiding - Skye: Grandia II, Roy Campbell: MGS

 

[MattKeil]

Troy Baker and Jennifer hale

First post, every damn time.

Honorable mention to Simon Templeman as Kain in the Legacy of Kain series. Phenomenal.

 

[Folstern]

Adam Howden - FIORAAAA!!!
Phil Lamarr - Ramza.
Kari Wahlgren - Many games.
