      A lot of voice actors do it. It makes it easier to put raw emotion into your performance if your whole body is on board. You can try it yourself. Give a rousing speech to yourself in the mirror, emoting fully. Then try giving that same speech while lying in bed. It really helps to have all of your self involved in the act.

      Yes. It's a common practice to model the faces of the in-game characters after the faces of the actors playing them, for 2 reasons:
      1. In the case of facial motion capture, it's rather required so there is a seamless transition between the actor talking and the in-game facial animations during talking.
      2. There is less effort on the devs' part when they have a face already available to them, rather than having to come up with and model an entirely new face.

      Yeah, the mannerisms when speaking seem to be taken from most of the characters' VAs. I believe they did develop many of these characters from scratch, but you can definitely see how they incorporated some of the VAs into their characters' models. It's typically easier and less costly do capture their faces like this for speech/animation purposes. I'm impressed that Larian decided to take the more detailed and visionary, but also more expensive and time-consuming route of matching many of these voices and movements to the characters manually.

    Alright now for a Critical Role collab. Time for our VAs to play their BG3 characters on actual DnD!

      I would absolutely watch that. Followed of course by a coop playthrough of some of the cast of critical role playing their favorite campaign characters in BG3

      Critical role is American thing mostly. Actors in this game are European mostly. Honestly can't name a single American from companion or other character voice actors lol.

    I'm glad they kept Miscs appearance the same as BG1.

    I love Karlach's voice, and now I have a crush on her v.a. as well.

    J K Simmons voice is so FREAKING GOOD! Reminds me a bit of Wayne Junes voice. AMAZING!

    They did an amazing work with the voice acting in this game, every voice is memorable and fitting.
    Lae'zel especially is amazing, she's really damn good.
    Oh and Gale, could listen to that guy for ages.

    Matt Mercer really did a good job honoring Minsc. Sounds pretty similar to the original

    Minthara’s decisive delivery of every single line that she says, makes me love her character so much

      Unfortunately not so many players killed Tieflings to recruit Minthara, its saddens me that such great character who is not actually that evil, rather practical, is hidden behind tiefling slaughter

      @@Sithisheyou can recruit her without hurting the tieflings. Just knock her out during her boss fight and she'll be in prison at Moonrise during act 2, when you can save her and recruit her.

    Take note other game developers. This is the kind of brilliant voice acting we get when you treat your cast right!
