Does Metzen do every voice in the game now?

[Idoru]

The Instance episode 207/208.
They went to New York and found some new voice actors for Cataclysm.

Must have been off the live cam. (I watched it last year) Still awaiting on that source though, it would be really great to know if he acts it or not.

Strangely enough it's not mentioned on imdb

In fact, Metzen also voices the female characters.

[Naylit]

Most of the voices in cata that he is voicing are the well known ones from Pre-BC (Rag, Thrall, Neferian etc), a voice change for those characters would not make sense, not to mention may have gone horribly wrong.

I am trying to understand why you all hate this one particular reindeer so much. Bunch of Rudolph fanbois.

It is rather funny when it is thrall+ varian or thrall+ rag talking to each other :S

[orcshaman24]

They said they hired pro voice actors. While Metzen might like his own voice, it's still not THAT many voices he do.

This. People just want a reason to gripe at something. Probably having played the game to long.

Believe it or not, a lot of companies get voice actors to do multiple roles in films, cartoons and features, and sometimes they overlap, its not beyond there ability to do so.

Read the last one of the trivia.

It was at first assumed that Deathwing was voiced by Chris Metzen. It was however confirmed to not be the case by a Blizzard Employee.

Why do you need so much proof when it doesn't even ''sound'' like Metzen? He isn't exactly hard to recognise.

Tbh I think Metzen does a pretty good job at the characters he does voice. He's no Cam Clarke, but hell, nobody is.

[Trollragemore]

Doesn't Metzen also do Garrosh also?

LOL! One of the main reasons you left an in-depth game like WoW, is cause of the voice-overs.. Seriously?! It never occurred to you to turn off your speakers? Or maybe here's one.. STOP YOUR WHINING?! I've heard some pretty shitty reasons to stop playing, but you sir take the fucking cake.. And then you throw against the wall 'cause eggs were used to make it, citing all the other things that are made with eggs.. Ridiculous.

I LOL'd at that one but you're absolutely right

[Doombringer]

He did voice Hakkar in the ZG revamp. It, again, sounds like Thrall with filtering.

So, that's... Thrall, Ragnaros, Hakkar, Varian, Nefarian...

[timbli]

it sounds like thrall

nefarian was too similar to thrall too

plz start changing voices

[Sarog]

When professional voice actors do multiple characters in the same title, you typically can't easily identify them as being the same person. Think of the casts of the Simpsons and Futurama; the majority of the regular male characters on those shows are voiced by the same handful of guys, but the voices are distinct enough from one another that it isn't obvious.

Metzen is an artist/department coordinator who does voice acting, not a professional voice actor in his own right. He doesn't have the voice acting ability to make his Go'el voice sound significantly different from his Varian voice, from his Ragnaros voice, from his Nefarian voice, from his Rexxar voice, from his Saurfang Junior voice, from his generic orc npc voice.

His voice isn't at all bad, but when so many major characters sound exactly the same it is pretty stupid, especially given the parallel role that some of the characters play in their factions. Blizzard should diversify their voice talent for the sake of storytelling quality.

[Biggiej]

Who voice acts Metzen?!

[Slowpoke is a Gamer]

I thought blizz was told he couldn't do anymore voices if they wanted to use actors guild voices.

Callling Mel Blanc, calling Mel Blanc....
