Best voice acting in WoW?

[Ragnarohk]

Wow, can't believe my man Illidan has barely been mentioned. Coolest character in WoW with the coolest voice acting.

I honestly find him annoying. The whole 'You are not prepared" this is cringy.

Also, we should appreciate this:

It got memed a lot because we all heard it so much, but I think the piece of dialogue that invokes the strongest emotional reaction from me is Saurfang's speech about his son atop Icecrown Citadel.

"I made a promise to his mother before she died; that I would cross the Dark Portal alone - whether I lived or died, my son would be safe. Untainted...

Today, I fulfill that promise.

*Roar of a father filled with grief, fury and a love for a son that he must put to rest*"

Makes me well up just thinking about it... ^^'

Runas the Shamed.

Taelia and Flynn are definitely the best-voiced characters in BFA by far - definitely top 5 in wow as a whole.

Jennifer Hale as Grand Magistrix Elisande was great, but I mean... anything she does is great lol

+1 on Taelia and Flynn

[Snowfunk]

Pretty much everything about this.

Yea, that scene really gave me chills.

My personal favorite is definitely
Perhaps it's more the powerful dialogue, than the voice acting itself, but man, the first time I got to hear it...

TBC Akama was great, as you can see in patch 2.1 intro: The black temple

Going through posts in this thread reminded me of how fantastic voice over work is in WoW overall. Very nice mentions, especially those minor characters that didn't pop in my head instantly but now you guys mention them I totally agree (like Reshad, Gonk, Runas).

Anyway, as far as major BFA characters go, I think most of them are great - Muradin, Wrathion, Jaina, Azshara all great voices.

I think what sells the voiceovers by these characters is that they sound invested in their roles, while many others feel like they have disconnects from the immersion. Part of it is the source material, another part probably is the reuse of voice actor that come off as the skit from Family Guy where the comedian uses the exact same voice for all the characters in his story. It's getting to the point where some voice actors I can immediately tell it's the same voice actor, so when I heard a mechagnome speak for the first time I immediately associate them with a vulpera with the same voice, or a ramkahen NPC with the same voice as a nightelf from before.

Anyways, another character voice I love is Abby Lewis. She's the child that starts the quest 'Teddies and Tea' quest in Drustvar that's Alliance-only... very creepy yet satisfying.

That's part of the problem I have with Jim Cummings voicing anything. He's a fine VA, and I can't think of a cartoon I watched as a kid that didn't have his voice in it, but everything he does, it's HIS voice. Lorewalker Cho = Jim Cummings with a Chinese accent, Runas = Jim Cummings. Hondo Ohnaka, etc.

Malygos, dude its liquid snake

[ExtremelyCrusty]

Probably Taelia.

She actually sounds like a person, rather than some disinterested voice actor reading lines for some shitty MMO that people used to play.

This. Katherine Proudmoore is also pretty good.

Holy shit! Looked up who is the voice actor of Gandling and looks like he is Nathanos as well (Jim Pirri). I play alliance so i hear very little of him.
