Lei Shen voice audio

[Velshin]

Hey everyone, is it me or his voice and accent seems more of a Troll race instead of a mogu?

Discuss please.

[Deleted]

Kinda disappointed if I am honest, wanted him to sound somewhat more epic.. Does sound like a bit of a Troll race voice though, added with a little chinese accent or something.. I dunno >.>

[wariofan1]

Me and my brother argued this today. Sounds like a Pandaren with a megaphone, I'm almost expecting the Scooby-Doo guys to come and tear a mask off, only to reveal Zhi the Harmonous or something. Very dissapointed, as it takes A LOT away from Lei Shen's badassness factor.

"Oooh, great regacy of our peoper."

Be more stereotypically Chinese-y, Blizzard.

A little over the top cheesy, but all of the mogu have sounded like that. So I guess it fits with their ultimate ruler.

[Wondercrab]

It doesn't sound any cheesier than the majority of the bosses we've got in WoW. At least the borderline-offensive accent is fun!

I disagree to be honest not all the Mogu are like that.. check this.



This is the Mogu accent for me.

Take a stereotypical chinese voice and try to make it sound 'serious' and you will have my smile before he stops laughing.

[Skytotem]

Yeah, not deep enough.

I like that he brags about slaying gods though, you kinda get the vibe that he probably DID kill a few in his heyday, not unlike the players.

[Darillyn]

Lol he almost comes across as having a Russian accent or something. He sounds more hilarious than he does epic

[Golden Yak]

This is the Mogu accent for me.

Lei Shen's not quite as deep and more echo-y. No difference in terms of accent, far as I can hear.

This is exactly what it sounded like to me too, wow Blizz wow.

[Al Gorefiend]

Sounds like a Khan to me. Isn't that what they were going for? Mogu/Mongol. Yaungol/Mongol. They sure have a lot of Mongols in Pandaria..

[Gorack]

Has the same voice as the asians in south park....

[Last Starfighter]

Fuck yeah. Sounds awesome!

[Shampro]

I like his ''Echo'' effect a lot.

[Austilias]

Well, the Mogu are certainly a one-dimensional, big-bad race right down to their king, but I do love the stereotypical Asian accent.

[Trassk]

could have been more sinister. I expected to find his voice intimidating, but.. not so much.

[Deleted]

Well I don't know what you guys were expecting really, I'm with Traask thinking it could be a tad more frightening but I'm quite satisfied. The inspiration for The Mogu is clearly taken from imperial Japan, a fitting antagonist for an expansion with a very asian twist. So surprise surprise they sound like scary Japanese guys and yes that means R's instead of L's in some places, a stereotype that is easily recognised and thus makes the connection Blizzard wanted the audience to make with the inspiration for these guys.

[Philosopino]

If he spoke more clear and faster he would be more desicive like he should be.

Accent is cool though

[Guyviroth]

Sounds like Zangief on PCP.
