She seems good. Definitely sounds too smooth to be Kerrigan, but I guess voice editing will fix that.

Not bad, not the same as our old Kerrigan, but with a little audio-editing it can be just as good.

I might be an asshole, but most sounds I have heard I do not like. When Marines die, they die like pussies and not that cool as in SC1. Same goes for Zealots etc, etc. When it comes to soundeffects and voices SC1>SC2.

But I am getting offtopic a bit, I don't mind the voice of this Kerrigan.

Raynor's voice is perfect though.

Kerrigan's new voice is... not very zergish.

even if she's not that good, we're going to buy this game anyway and eventually get used to the new voice/be unaware of it... but i hope the rumors are wrong.

Well this is it... they changed the Kerrigan VA for the Zeratul/Kerrigan cinematic...

Sounds so bad =/ Why the fuck haven't they rehired the old VA! Continuity Blizzard, continuity! Especially when the original material was good to start with.

Edit : Also, that's with all the audio tinkering to match an infested Kerrigan. Still sounds like a B actor that tries to hard. Glynnis plz!

Yes, as much as I want to say she doesnt, I can't. She sounds fine.

But then you go back and listen to the one done by Talken... It just feels more "right" - I don't understand why they wouldn't play to these nostalgic feelings. The quality is pretty much the same.

That's interesting because one year ago, some news came out that Raynor's original actor would be replaced, and that the old Kerrigan voice would actually return. Now it's the exact opposite that's happening, as I'm fairly sure Robert Clotworthy is doing Raynor's voice again.

For the same reason they recasted the whole crew of Futurama : Money.

Video game industry has grown quite a bit in 10 years, and voice acting in video games is now a hell lot more profitable than it was back in 1998, I'm sure the original SC actors are the first to know it. We can safely assume this would be Blizzard's main problem with taking the old actors again.

I like the first voice with her being an archeologist or w/e sounded good.
When I think of something else, something will go here

Yeah I bet that's the issue. I'd wager that the Jim Raynor VA actually negociated really hard to get his role back. The Jim Raynor voice looked like it would have stuck till retail, and suddenly without warning the old VA is back.

... Wow, the Futurama part... I don't think I could watch that. I really like Futurama, but I don't think I'd be able to sit through even one episode with if they changed the voice actors :s

I've been swapping back and forth between the original and the new:

http://www.gametrailers.com/video/blizzcon-09-starcraft-ii/54290

The new is as bad as it seemed originally but the Glynnis just feels right. Listen to them both with your eyes closed and give it a good listen.

Actually the new voice isn't that bad... if i try to let go of the nostalgia bias. I mean she does lack the I'M THE MOTHER FUCKING QUEEN BITCH voice but its not too bad. like she would be 8/10 for me.

well, not as good as the old one, but you can't really complain >.>


Are you kidding, "She also speaks fluent French and uses a French accent for French characters"? Kerrigan's not French (I was originally going to use a stronger comment but that probably would've offended some people and got me banned).

I get the feeling that this decision is motivated by money as well. Blizzard is obviously aware that the fans want the original back, and there's really no reason not to bring her back as far as quality goes. While the new VA is talented, she doesn't completely overshadow Glynnis. When you take into account the nostalgia and experience factor, the odds are stacked in the original VA's favor.

Money is the only real conclusion I can gather from this. Maybe Glynnis was either asking for too much, or Blizzard didn't want to give too much. Hopefully BlizzCon will shed light on the issue.
