    Yes it does. She sounds mainland Chinese. Kind of like Zhang Ziyi/Michelle Yeoh in CTHD.

    Why on earth do you assume that female pandaren are under 24?
    When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these?! Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!

    Because that's how they look!? They could be a little older, but certainly not as old as the voice makes them sound.

    I thought the same, elegant with an air of kindness.

    They have fur, so determining their age can be difficult, plus, I mean, they're as tall as a worgen, they're not tiny.

    They could go the alternate direction and give them more facial options (and I read in a thread this is what they have in mind), which avoid another train wreck.
    Really makes me hope that when the race revamps start coming blizzard plans to revert worgen to their original vision.

    As far as any of us are aware, they aren't going to revamp the Worgen, or Goblins, any time in the near future; they already have the newer, more detailed models.

    I personally like it that the female pandaren sounds mature. It makes me feel a lot wiser playing something like that instead of some anime girl squealing panda that a lot of people seem to be wishing for. I do agree though that the voice is not fitting for the animations that have a lot of energy to them, voice is very calm, movement is spasmic I like both separately, but I don't know if they work together.

    I'm not wishing for a squealing girl's voice either. It doesn't change my opinion, though, that the voice and animations don't go together.

    Agreed, a monk strives for inner balance and harmony between body and spirit, that should be reflected in their voice as well. I would have preffered them having a slightly deeper, a little lighter than a tauren female voice, as the current voice-over does not seem to fit with their fairly well rounded bodies.

    I like most of their lines. But I still die a little inside each time I see a female pandaren burst into the caramelldansen, for they had the chance to show us one of hundreds of beautiful traditional Chinese dances. But I guess some do get a chuckle out of it, so all's well..
