That's the fault of Bethesda's direction though. The VAs they usually use are no more or less talented than BG3's voice cast, Bethesda just doesn't care to put voice directorial effort into anybody but prominent story characters.
Imagine their disappointment. You come in after voice actor training, expecting to get the best voice acting roles you can imagine... Only to never get the chance to voice a goblin
I didn't know he was in this! I first heard him in Live A Live, and loved his performance there. But hearing all the roles he has here? Dude has range too!
What this really taught me is that despite having 400 hours over multiple playthroughs in this game, I still haven't met almost half of these characters in the game.
The way my jaw dropped at some of these. I am so going to listen even better from now on Also, the pure irony of Dammon and Anders being voiced by the same guy is great!
Thaniel and Oliver are dubbed by the same VA of KAGHA? Ok... i really thought they were dubbed by a proper kid, instead! WOW! I agree with adelina! What a cast! What range these people can reach! Note: Emma Gregory might have voiced also Tolma, the librarian in Sorcerous and Sundries. At least, for me it seems the same voice!
The most impressive part is that, even when knowing it's the same actor and hearing similarities in their accents or the way they express themselves, my brain refuses to believe it's the same person dubbing. There are a few exceptions who can't hide too much, like Andrew Wincott, who has such a distinctive way of speaking. The world has acclaimed the voice actors of the main characters, but everyone is unbelievably outstanding.
Dario Coates is amazing! I'm impressed! I never would have guessed that he voiced so many characters, and each of them was so different from each other!
Fun fact! Minthara's VA also voiced the infamous, "smells worse over here than a dozen rotten eggs dropped in a vat of vinegar" line in DOS2. And Zorl-Stissa!
Jaheira's actress plays Butter, the woman you can arrange to meet up with once you've escaped the starting Island. Shadowheart plays that traumatised girl who can remove your collar. The narrator in bg3 plays Malady. Tons of actors who did work in bg3 has worked for Larian before 😊
@@Einomar I know about Malady, but I didn't know about Butter is voiced by Jaheira, that one NPC I wish we could romance lol, thanks for this, good to know
I noticed Khaga's voice actress the most. She has such a distinct voice and accent, it's rather easy to recognize. But I couldn't tell she did Thaniel. But the most impressive same voice actor two characters I ever saw was in Witcher 3, where Dikstra and the Beggar King are the same character and have a long conversation together, sounding completely different. Amazing voice actors.
I saw your video awhile back and thinking it'll be fit perfectly for this video, but still, I'm sorry that I didn't ask your permission before including it in here 🙏
When i watched the video, you can see that the faces of the characters are very similar to the actors that give them voice, it is an incredible detail. At least most not all
I have Barcus in my camp. He’s always either a little rude or very grateful for my help. I’ve saved his ass TWICE. He’s lucky I’m trying to do a good route.
Damn the RANGE these people have when they were voice acting/motion capturing these characters.....BADASS! Fuck the Hollyweird celebrity tourists voicing characters in "kids movies" --because that's all they can do because it's just a paycheck to them and they have no range -- not ALL OF THEM, MIND YOU -- some celebrity voice actors are legit badasses in voice-over work. Lucy Lui, Kelly hu, Tim Curry, Kristin Bell, CCH Pounder, J.K. Simmons, and Bojack voice actors, Johnny Depp, Samuel L. Jackson, Regina King are pretty amazing voice actors.
The writing and voice acting in this game are just next level awesomeness. I couldn't help falling in love with pretty much any NPC, no matter how short their lines. Absolute artists, each and every one at Larians :D
Yenna is Alfira???? ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Oh, and also Scratch being also Xavier and Withers being His Majesty are incredible 😂😂😂 And also I love the performance on the treatos guy. The little gasps of excitement when you tell him you wanna buy from him lol 😂 All these actors are INCREDIBLE, I love ALL OF THEM!!!!
The first time I detected a “repeat VA” was on my second playthrough, where I found Commander Lightfeather, one of the pigeons who lives at the Rivington Postmaster in Act 3. His VA also voices Cazador Szarr, and I can only imagine how much whiplash poor Astarion experienced hearing that voice coming out of a pigeon.
Thank you so much for doing this! There are so many characters in this game and I've been delighted by just about every performance! It's great to be able to put a name and face to them. They deserve the recognition!
Dario Coates is really amzed me, his voice is colorful and so good fit. I don't know if Larian did something to their voices or not but I barely recognize with the same person and no matter how or what kind of characters, their voices fit them soooo well and... at 27:02 I did laugh like "Teehee" right after see it 😂
There's a female Dragonborn called Pritt Yellowbreath wandering outside the Devil's Fee and her voice sounds like it might be Sazza's voice actress or Shovel's voice actress. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything about who voiced Yellowbreath.
I love seeing dedicated voice actors get a bunch of work. Elevates the quality of all animated media, really. I still remember how hard I laughed when Raphael's hit single came on as I fought for Hope.
Washing my pits guy and oathbreaker having the same voice is just so funny to think about.
My headcanon is that they are the same character
@@kapitankapital6580That’s how he actually broke his oath
I broke my Oath of cleanliness many times when playing 500 hours of baldur's gate in 3 months too :/
Then you hear Oathbreaker next to Malta and you're like "yeah, should've picked up on that one"
And then you have games like Skyrim where the same voice actor voices 50 npcs without changing their voice at all 😅
It just works
They don't get pay enough😅
That's the fault of Bethesda's direction though. The VAs they usually use are no more or less talented than BG3's voice cast, Bethesda just doesn't care to put voice directorial effort into anybody but prominent story characters.
@@FormOfKorn they have been doing that since oblivion
Still a step up from oblivion lol, like 1/3 of the game is voiced by one dude😂 I really do wonder what tf were they thinking back then
The contracts must stipulate they play at least one silly little guy and one cockney
This got a hearthy laugh from me
You won the internet
As well as one animal each
The fact that almost every VA voiced a goblin is incredible xD That's what happens when they get paid enough
Imagine their disappointment. You come in after voice actor training, expecting to get the best voice acting roles you can imagine... Only to never get the chance to voice a goblin
Yeah, as the old saying goes; "if you pay a VA enough, they'll voice a goblin"
When did everyone get so obsessed with voice actor pay? Im calling bot on this katest trend.
There’s something so funny about someone voicing a man who wants karlach’s head also voicing the dude who tries to fix her heart
Dario is so talented!! Barcus has such a distinctive voice and the other voices he did sound so different omg!
Barcus is a top 3 npc for me. His storyline is awesome.
I didn't know he was in this! I first heard him in Live A Live, and loved his performance there. But hearing all the roles he has here? Dude has range too!
the fact that withers and his majesty are voiced by the same person is so funny
5:02 These two clips in a row is hilarious. "You've broken your Oath of Celibacy, you bunch of perverts"
Bruh, now I want Raphael saying MAKLOOMPAH 😂
We need a Kuo-Toa rendition of raphaels theme song now
@@flare1172 man, I would unironically pay for that
The Cazador VA voiced my favorite pigeon 😂😂
and the Wine guy! xD
It’s so obvious with his voice!
First one, and I'm already dead. MAYRINA is my darling, SHOVEL?! My eyebrows have escaped my face. 😱
* walks in room * um, these eyebrows just hit me in the face
@@Samurai_Stoner 🤣
I had emotional whiplash the first time I heard Tara's voice after fighting Ethel as Gale.
Andrew Wincott has a perfect audio book voice.
I'd gladly fall asleep to that sweet sweet voice.
He does a lot of 40K audiobooks
What this really taught me is that despite having 400 hours over multiple playthroughs in this game, I still haven't met almost half of these characters in the game.
I have a 1700 and I was missing a couple lol.
@@TwoStrokeZ1700? Damn that insane
The way my jaw dropped at some of these. I am so going to listen even better from now on
Also, the pure irony of Dammon and Anders being voiced by the same guy is great!
The two ends of Karlach's arc
@@sephikong8323 exactly!
You could say it's infernal iron-y, I guess...
I'll see myself out.
@rhokesh4391 ha! That's a good one. And fitting since I'm now romancing Karlach
They are both from hell, so it isn't that strange
Thaniel and Oliver are dubbed by the same VA of KAGHA? Ok... i really thought they were dubbed by a proper kid, instead!
WOW!
I agree with adelina! What a cast! What range these people can reach!
Note: Emma Gregory might have voiced also Tolma, the librarian in Sorcerous and Sundries. At least, for me it seems the same voice!
I think its hilarious that she plays two characters that are a part of Halsin’s life
Emma Gregory is fabulous.
@@PeachMintz Exactly!
@@paul_mumford I agree! I really like her voice!
@@MayaPatch It's worth playing "evil" just to get her into the party!
OMG I so knew that pigeon was Cazador!!!! I felt "Hey, he talks suspicious..... I've heard this mockery before" I WAS RIGHT.
The most impressive part is that, even when knowing it's the same actor and hearing similarities in their accents or the way they express themselves, my brain refuses to believe it's the same person dubbing. There are a few exceptions who can't hide too much, like Andrew Wincott, who has such a distinctive way of speaking.
The world has acclaimed the voice actors of the main characters, but everyone is unbelievably outstanding.
The voices are so different but somehow it makes sense that Withers and His Majesty have the same voice actor.
My favourite animal character in the game.
Bex and the Owlbear Cub both being Rosie Jones SENT ME. Being able to be insanely endearing in two completely different ways is a triumph
Scratch's voice sounds so polite 🥺
Theo also voices the Red Dragonborn bard in the circus in act 3 :)
And the Balduran statue!
@@broadwaystar2b isn't the Balduran statue the same VA as the Emperor/Marcus?
And that is why voice direction is so important, each character sounds so different and unique, it’s really cool
Putting Dave Jones as the Moonrise Ghoul before his much better known character (avoiding spoilers) was unexpected.
I love that with Graham Hoadly in you put the pigeon first and than Cazador, not the other way around.
13:17 Scratch's voice actor even looks like the cutest puppy.
The fact that he plays Xavier too!!!! 😂
Lol shaun is adorable. He streams himself playing the game too
Dario Coates is amazing! I'm impressed! I never would have guessed that he voiced so many characters, and each of them was so different from each other!
I can't believe VA who played a role of Dammon(fix Karlach's heart) is the one who acted Anders(try to kill Karlach) 😂
Karlach was cruelly deceived...
Ethel and Tara... Damn. Couldn't be more different characters
They all have so much range! I would have put money on all these characters having different actors 😂
1:11 ahh yes my favorite Baldur's Gate 3 character. ServantOfTheRaven_Raven
It's the white raven that is He-Who-Was' familiar and says "everybody hates you!" Lol
@@baticeer_ isn't the raven named Quoth?
They hired a small army of talented actors, and it shows with the finished product.
Fun fact! Minthara's VA also voiced the infamous, "smells worse over here than a dozen rotten eggs dropped in a vat of vinegar" line in DOS2. And Zorl-Stissa!
lmao I just realized that, the entire conversations in that driftwood square is so memorable & memeable at the same time 😂
Woaah I didn’t know this!! Playing dos2 right now, how could I not have realized 😂
Jaheira's actress plays Butter, the woman you can arrange to meet up with once you've escaped the starting Island. Shadowheart plays that traumatised girl who can remove your collar. The narrator in bg3 plays Malady. Tons of actors who did work in bg3 has worked for Larian before 😊
@@Einomar I know about Malady, but I didn't know about Butter is voiced by Jaheira, that one NPC I wish we could romance lol, thanks for this, good to know
Hahaha, Halsin gets mentioned after the ghoul he voices, classic
Cazador is a pigeon makes evryone smile
Me: Thought every character had a voice actor for their own character.
Me after watching this: 😮
I noticed Khaga's voice actress the most. She has such a distinct voice and accent, it's rather easy to recognize. But I couldn't tell she did Thaniel.
But the most impressive same voice actor two characters I ever saw was in Witcher 3, where Dikstra and the Beggar King are the same character and have a long conversation together, sounding completely different. Amazing voice actors.
Ahhh! You used my edit of Raphael lip-syncing his theme song! I feel flattered
I saw your video awhile back and thinking it'll be fit perfectly for this video, but still, I'm sorry that I didn't ask your permission before including it in here 🙏
@@DragonsDreamNo worries at all. You credited it correctly, so it's all good. Thanks again though for choosing mine ☺️
I would have never thought the oathbreaker knight shared the same voice as the washing my pits guy
What. The. Heck. These VA's have amazing range.
When i watched the video, you can see that the faces of the characters are very similar to the actors that give them voice, it is an incredible detail. At least most not all
I don’t know why but only now I realize the accents and how some are stronger than others….i guess I was *_THAT_* immersed…
Bex and Owlbear being the same voice is just beautiful
These actors did a crazy gigantic job, what great guys they are. My admiration knows no bounds 👏👏👏
32:36 AYOO DAMN I WASNT EXPECTING THAT
Scratch and Xavier are two of my favorite voices in the game, it’s so funny they’re the same person.
Devs to Andrew Scott: "You will give the devil Raphael your voice."
Andrew: "Cool! How does he look like?"
Devs: "Ohh, like the devil himself!!"
I thought Cazador was voiced by whoever voices that one crazy guy in Cheydinhal in Oblivion.
I've never heard that Kaugha dialogue before because I always expose her and turn her "good" before setting foot in the Goblin camp
holy shit these voice actors are amazing, so many characters voiced by the same ppl and i never noticed
Im FLOORED with how many of these I had no clue about. Larian did some SUPERB VA hiring and the VA's did a SUPERB job.
omg, raphael and haarlep are voice by the same guy? :o
33:02 Dude voices the guy that want's to kill Karlach and the guy that wants to help Karlach.
Raphael looking JUST like his voice actor amazes me to this day
невероятно талантливые люди! спасибо большое за подборку, с удовольствием посмотрела :)
They're such good voice actors I didn't notice any single one of them as being the same voice actor
I had no clue, there's so much dialogs of characters i killed without even thinking i could talk to them.
This is so cool; all of them are so skilled, my word
I have Barcus in my camp. He’s always either a little rude or very grateful for my help. I’ve saved his ass TWICE. He’s lucky I’m trying to do a good route.
Well at least this is more than Skyrim's one voice actor voicing all the NPCs.
Such a welcome diversity after seeing Skyrim using 3 voiceactors for all the NPCs in the game.
As someone with mild arachnophobia it was nice to see a giant spider gently say "we will not bite one another"
My main takeaway from thiw is just how many characters i havent met yet.
Gortash's dad?! Wtf?
Best cast ever 🎉
Why am I not surprised Lorroakan and Kar'niss have the same VA
Popper, barcus and the communist rat, by the same voice actor. What a chad
That BG3 Khagha and us transition was smooth
These people are SOOOO TALENTED!!!
Damn the RANGE these people have when they were voice acting/motion capturing these characters.....BADASS!
Fuck the Hollyweird celebrity tourists voicing characters in "kids movies" --because that's all they can do because it's just a paycheck to them and they have no range -- not ALL OF THEM, MIND YOU -- some celebrity voice actors are legit badasses in voice-over work.
Lucy Lui, Kelly hu, Tim Curry, Kristin Bell, CCH Pounder, J.K. Simmons, and Bojack voice actors, Johnny Depp, Samuel L. Jackson, Regina King are pretty amazing voice actors.

I remember being thrown off with Cazador had such a high, whiney voice lol
I can’t help but wonder if that was on purpose!
Wow, Dario Coates is really impressive!
The pigeon is my favorite.
“ Washin’ my pits, washin’ my pits, this is the song when I- OI… “
“ *You’ve broken your Oath, P a l a d i n.* “
Yenna is Alfira???? ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Oh, and also Scratch being also Xavier and Withers being His Majesty are incredible 😂😂😂
And also I love the performance on the treatos guy. The little gasps of excitement when you tell him you wanna buy from him lol 😂
All these actors are INCREDIBLE, I love ALL OF THEM!!!!
Dario Coates voiced so many of my favorite npcs in the game, Popper, Barcus, and Klagga. The range is amazing
You missed one for Theo - the Dragonborn bard in the circus!
I didnt even know all these chars, definitely gotta replay a few more times
Abdirak and Boney are the same va? Well makes sense, they are both clear wife-guys
Genuinely blown away by all of these! I literally would have never guessed basically all of them lol absolutely amazing
The first time I detected a “repeat VA” was on my second playthrough, where I found Commander Lightfeather, one of the pigeons who lives at the Rivington Postmaster in Act 3.
His VA also voices Cazador Szarr, and I can only imagine how much whiplash poor Astarion experienced hearing that voice coming out of a pigeon.
Yeah, his voice is a bit too distinct!
No Scott Joseph? (The Emperor and also true soul Marcus!)
4:09 insane
Everyone is so talented! I honestly never would've guessed any of them
Kagha and Us? That was unexpected!
Thank you so much for doing this! There are so many characters in this game and I've been delighted by just about every performance! It's great to be able to put a name and face to them. They deserve the recognition!
11:26 Wait, that gorgeous cat was voiced by Stephen Boxer? Wow.
Wow! What a versatile display of vocal range and talent. Seems like so much fun to be a VA. Become one with the Shovel

Unfortunately I couldn't find anything about who voiced Yellowbreath.
Fun fact about Jack Ayres is that he also voiced one of the MOST important characters in Rogue Trader - Nomos.
I love seeing dedicated voice actors get a bunch of work. Elevates the quality of all animated media, really. I still remember how hard I laughed when Raphael's hit single came on as I fought for Hope.
Minthara lookin' at Yurgir like she's in love there lmao
If BG3 gets a movie, let the voice actor play Raphael, he looks just 1:1 like him.
I love that its the same voice actor some of them I figured out but others serprised me.
Hanako is such a beauty! 😍Her characters are easy on the ears and eyes as well 🥰
Clare Corbett is unreal
That's incredible, this game continues to amaze me ❤
the granny look for my minthara is.... doing it for me.
