Who ever voiced brutus in SWP. Truly some top tier voice acting.
The dude who voices Loghain in DA: Origins (Simon Templeman). ![:100:](https://d1bg94bbsh66ji.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/100.png?v=6" ":100:")
EDIT: He’s Marshal Reade in Drustvar for a WoW reference.

He’s also the voice of ‘‘Cleveland Brown Jr.’’ from ‘‘The Cleveland Show’’, blew my mind when I read about that.
Favorite voice actor… I can’t choose just one! D:
Darin De Paul (Reinhardt, Blackhand, Gallywix, among many others).
Michael McConnohie (Kel’Thuzad, The Lich King, Uther the Lightbringer).
Karen Strassman (Chromie 
, Vanessa VanCleef, Neesa Nox).

Don’t really have any in WoW, the guy who did tirion fordring did a fantastic job, but he’s a generally good actor anyway.
Laura Bailey is of course always (usually) good. Though I find her I’M ANGRY stuff as Jaina to be good, but not as good as most of her stuff.
Sylvanas VA is likewise great, much as I hate the character none of that is the VAs fault, her performance even when the dialogue is stupid is still all in.
My favourite though are in different games: Natasha Little & Xanthe Elbrick, playing the Sith Warrior and Sith Inquisitor respectively in SWTOR.
Little is in other Bioware games and always sounds fantastic, Xanthe I think has only done SWTOR but gives a better performance than even Hale, though saying that may well be sacrilege to some.

I love almost all of these voice actors.
A niche one here but Matthew Yang King, he voices Liu Kang in MK11 and more recently I found out he does the voice for Male Pandaren?
Quinton Flynn, gotta second him, he was godly.
Matt Mercer has some good range.
Darin De Paul as Reinhardt, Blackhand and N’zoth, he’s just such a swell guy too!
I physically melt every time I hear the voice of Anthony Howell, that being the VA for Brother Therold in WoW, but he’s also the voice of the protagonist of Vampyr.
Others have mentioned her, but Jennifer Hale is also a favourite of mine. I love how her voice is often strong and assertive, but still considerably feminine. She fits the role of Elisande perfectly, imo.
I like Maiev’s VA and ofc Metzen.
Also, I like that VA who voices the obnoxious high elf NPC on the expeditions. Idk if he also voices Anduin or not but he voiced the villain Mozenrath in the Aladdin cartoon show which I used to watch as a kid. That guy just has that perfect sassy and snide voice for such characters.

No matter what I want to write about voice actors, I can’t get around being a massive Michael Ironside nerd.
Jack Ritschel is my close second favorite. RIP, tho. He died before StarCraft 2.
I would do terrible dirty things to Steve Blum’s voice. I still can clearly feel Anub’araks original voice and it was so perfect that the merely good voices done in WotLK and HotS sound jarring.
Outside of WoW, I’d say Erik Braa. He voices some of my favourite league of legends characters in Draven and Vel’Koz.
I loved David Hayter from my years playing the Metal Gear Series. I was heartbroken when they switched him out for Keither Sutherland.
At least he came back as Snake for Smash.

He also voices the blacksmith in Diablo 3 iirc. Jolly good voice actor!
Edit: I just love the voice of Valewalker Farodin, whose voice actor’s name eludes me.
I’m also a fan of Laura Post - the VA for Queen Azshara as well as a few other characters such as Kiryn.

In World of Warcraft it has to be :
Brina Palencia
Michael Mconnohie
Patty Mattson
Alex Desert
Maryann Strossner and of course
Chris Metzen
Powerful voices that has been a inspiration and i will remember them forever.
I love none as well as TROY BAKER. Seriously, it’s almost a guaranteed way to get me to buy a game, my absolute weak spot. The man’s just so good at what he does, every tiny little shift in pitch is perfect and it only draws me in so much. If anyone can get me immersed in a game, it’s that man. Holy damn.

He hasn’t been in many games but I absolutely adore Sean Bean’s voice. He was Martin in Obvlivion and is the narrator for the Civ 6 game
He was also in Kholyat, and a Final fantasy movie, though I can’t remember which one
Everytime I hear Ramon Tikaram crop up (he voices Dorian in Dragon Age, and is one of the generic male Kul Tiran voices) I’m just ever so pleased. His voice is lovely.
Same with Greg Ellis who voices Cullen Rutherford in DA, and in WoW is one of the dudes in Stormsong Valley handing out world quests/regular quests.
Also many of the people already named here particularly those that have been in Dragon Age and Mass Effect

Liam O’Brien, the voice of Illidan, Chi-ji and Sha of Violence. Aswell as his work from Critical Role.
I really adore how he conveys emotion over speech.

Tony Jay (may he rest in peace)
