Just like in Legion lots of new voices emerged and shaped new heroes. So did you have any pleasant surprises? Was there a character that made a huge impression on you just because the voice acting was done so well?
I have to say that I really enjoyed most of new voices - especially Bwonsamdi who is absolutely flawless. But to me a real black horse of them all is Rokhan, and that Blizzcon video made me realize it. From totally forgettable, bland and undefined character he made charismatic full of personality and spice champ the Horde deserves.
But that's just me what is your take on that?
I do like Bwonsamdi the most, damn he does the voice good.
Is he the same one what did it back in the Cata-prepatch or do they change voice actors?

Wardruid Loti and Hexlord Raal are absolutely charming and bring life to the otherwise boring world quests that they provide dialogue for. Derek Proudmoore is absolutely stunning and does his part perfectly.

No, In Cata he was voiced by Dave Fennoy so actor who voiced Vol'Jin since MoP.
A very good swap if you ask me.

I really dislike voice actor of Loti she sounds like granny while Raal is full of life and just adorable. Makes me wonder if there is a huge age difference between them that is causing them fight so much.
I am a Game of Thrones fan so I adore the fact that several Game of Thrones actors served as voice actors for Kul Tiran characters:
- Indira Varma voices Katherine Proudmoore;
- Mark Addy voices Daelin Proudmoore;
- John Bradley as Marten Webb.
I do get a huge Game of Thrones feel from Kul Tiras, with all the political drama between noble houses going on in the background.

I think the best voice actors are the ones that clearly take joy in their play. You can tell good quality then.
To me Bwon and Rokhan stole the show.

Nathanos' voice actor has improved, and that made his character slightly more tolerable.
Jaina's voice actress whose name I have forgotten (Laura Bailey?) is very talented and she truly knows how to portray Jaina after so many years.
I miss Saurfang's previous voice actor a bit. He had a great voice, and even though he had to work a bit on his character, I think it'd better if he remained the voice actor.
What annoys me though is that a lot of things are voiced, and I prefer quality over quantity. Not everything I want to kill has to say something when I engage them or when they die. But overall, the main characters have good voice actors.

I agree it was annoying since Legion at least they could by script decrease the amount of times when the NPC yells, or just don't voice act them.
I think the most I disliked Naga and Kultirans and blood troll encounters because of that.

Try watching British daytime telly after you've watched Game of Thrones. Seeing all these well-known actors turn up in bit parts in mid-afternoon medical soaps is quite jarring. Saskia from Doctors is the Dragon Queen. I can't even.
VA-wise there are a few I like, but Talanji and Zul are my favourites, Talanji especially. Honourable mention for Simon Templeman's stint in Drustvar, although I first heard him in Blood Omen so I can never picture him as anyone but Kain anymore. Jani is best dinosaur, Scrollsage Nola is adorbs, and the bloke who voices Finn put in a decent shift too. It's been quite high quality over all. Even the hammy ones aren't too bad.
i like taelia and flynn, particularly when you get a WQ from flynn to kill some elite mobs, it's hilarious...
