Blizzcon Update:
Tricia Helfer.

._.


... Karen Strassman, at least if the latest rumours are to be believed.
http://starcraft.incgamers.com/blog/comments/the-new-voice-of-kerrigan/
http://kotaku.com/5335537/is-this-the-new-voice-of-starcraft-iis-kerrigan

I don't know how I feel about this, she seems good but her Kerrigan (the last part of the MP3 below) seems... I don't know, less menacing? Maybe it's just a natural prejudice against anything that isn't the original actress.

Anyhow, judge for yourself:
http://www.karenstrassman.com/audio/videogames.mp3

EDIT: She's obviously very good, I think it's mostly just nostalgia making me feel weird about it.

Sounds alright, hard to tell right from a mp3. But it feels a little empty, something is missing.

Could use some audio effects on that voice... as kerrigan she doesn't instill fear to me with that voice.

I suppose if she made her voice raspier and the distortion was upped a bit it would sound similar to before. In any case, the voice shouldn't be too much of an issue to fix.

Hard to say without any filters being applied. Sounds decent to me at least.

Hard to tell from just one line... but no, I just listened to some of Campbell's (the original Kerrigan) stuff at the end of this and the old voice actress was way better.

Why exactly did Blizzard decide not to have Campbell come back? Does anybody know?

What a weird ass audio track, she's versatile and pretty damn good but no...
YOU ARE NOT OUR KERRIGAN!

The original SC+BW campaigns had excellent and superb voice acting for it's time, 10+ years later the standard should be lower?

Um actually did she do some voicework for System Shock 2? Reminds me of Shodan, it's the french accent sounds alot like this one character, looking at her resume yeah probably not.

Seems she's got quite a resume, assuming this is the same person.

Please realise that all voices go through siginificant audio tweaking before you make any judgements. Even in a typical Hollywood movie with lots of dialogue, every single line is scrutinised and altered. If it does not sound exactly like you are used to, that's because what you hear in SC1 has a ton of audio fine tuning on top of it and this is just a sample.

Seriously no reason to replace the old actress, and what they did to her was pretty lame. Letting her do that one opening cinematic where she confronts Zeratul, making her think she has the job then saying "oh that was the TRYOUT for the job and we are going in a diff direction". How lame she was kick ass before.
