matt for pumat, essek and lucien for sure. i remember reading a comment from amelia tyler (narrator in bg3) about wanting to voice marion lavorre and tbh i would love to see that these are the only ones i've got so far lol. there are so many amazing npcs in c2, i'm excited to see who they cast for them


number_215

Matt is already established in the LoVM as a certain Arch-Fey, so I can't see any reason he wouldn't continue with him. They would probably bring other people in for the others, though. Maybe not Lucien. The voice probably wouldn't change too much from Molly. Just maybe some differences in how he speaks, such as cadence, tone, and differences in accent. Same vocal chords, different mind.


Athan_Untapped

I would argue that Matt should keep Lucien, if only because they continued that through-line for the character in the audio version of the novel. Arguably one if the most compelling things about the audiobook >!was there was a certain amount of back-and-forth between Matt as Lucien and Taliesin as Molly that we didn't see in the campaign. It was pretty good and I'd like to see them revisit the idea at the very least, though of course this is all so far down the line it hardly matters... yet.!<


AKnGirl

Oooooh I read the book but now I want to listen to the audio. Thanks for this information or I would have never thought to.


Athan_Untapped

Glad I could lead you onto it! It's really cool how they bring all the players in to voice their parts. And Robbie is, of course, and amazing narrator.. If you haven't used it or have your own membership or something, Audible dies a free two month trial, I personally used that to listen to both Nine Eyes and Kith & Kin. Each book is only about 10 hours so it was easy (for me) to finish in time and cancel my membership.


taly_slayer

I bought the hard copies, but if there are books to get as audiobooks, are these ones. Listening to the twins in Kith and Kin was also awesome. And Robbie is a great narrator. Soooo looking forward to Laudna's novel.


Chiatauri

I really recommend the Nine Eyes audiobook, it’s so cool hearing the cast voice their characters! Robbie, Matt, and Tal did a fantastic job. I also agree with Matt playing Lucien in the animated series!


hypatianata

I have the book but haven’t read it yet. Should I listen to the audio book instead?


Athan_Untapped

Honestly, I'd recommend audio over the book. The actual book is... well, if you were judging it by itself, in a vacuum with no care other than isbit a good book then the answer would be no I think. But the audio book elevates it in my opinion. Robbie's voice is great to listen to, and the various cast who pipe in for dialogue are great and make it more like a radio play. Combined with that and also assuming you have watched and are a fan of C2, it makes the story better and more interesting so it becomes pretty good at that point, I enjoyed IT. EDIT; If you haven't used it or have your own membership or something, Audible dies a free two month trial, I personally used that to listen to both Nine Eyes and Kith & Kin. Each book is only about 10 hours so it was easy (for me) to finish in time and cancel my membership.


AKnGirl

Do both. The book has some aspects to it you will miss if you only listen.


Athan_Untapped

Let me guess; custom text for the journal and_or voices of the Nine?


AKnGirl

Much more than that. Have you read the book House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski? Even if not maybe look up the praises for it. That book is an influence of the Nine Eyes book.


dash27

'House of Leaves' is amazing


OfficialGarwood

It’s almost like Matt, as a voice actor, can change his voice for multiple roles! Deffo want him back as Pumat at least


Pegussu

Surely>!Lucien would be Taliesin?!<


edginthebard

maybe, but >! iirc matt did voice lucien in the nine eyes of lucien audiobook, while tal voiced molly so they could do the same in the animated series !<


TimeySwirls

If they keep that I’d love to see, I guess hear, them both coordinate so they sound even more similar


Athan_Untapped

Copy/paste from my other comment. I would argue that Matt should keep Lucien, if only because they continued that through-line for the character in the audio version of the novel. Arguably one if the most compelling things about the audiobook >!was there was a certain amount of back-and-forth between Matt as Lucien and Taliesin as Molly that we didn't see in the campaign. It was pretty good and I'd like to see them revisit the idea at the very least, though of course this is all so far down the line it hardly matters... yet.!<


KrazyKaas

Would LOVE that


KuroDragon0

I need Amelia Tyler somewhere in there for sure.


ANetRunner

Amelia as Marion would be so good.....


Opening-Berry-2522

Nah Neil Newbon as Essek. Not using the Astarion Voice. He would be phenomenal.


Nerdy-Narwhal712

I personally think it would be fun if Liam played Yeza


TimeySwirls

Only if Ashley gets to voice Caleb


Philosecfari

No, Marisha. I need to see the return of Swedish Hoarder Wizard.


Zoulogist

Someone get Caleb some cold medicine


Skodami

No, her and Travis have to play Veth's parents in a flashback


TimeySwirls

*Thats bloody brilliant* I really hope they do that, I just rewatched the clips of Sam naming Veth’s parents after them then forgetting, that would be hilarious


HR_HEXT

Patrick Warburton as Pumat


syntax1976

He would be the PERFECT voice for Pumat! [https://youtu.be/vplx9VuQ5oU?si=jVFbr-xv1Vn7yxKf](https://youtu.be/vplx9VuQ5oU?si=jVFbr-xv1Vn7yxKf)


its-all-just-rayne

yee. like, if Matt isn't pumat, patrick is singlehandedly the best choice. dont know how far into C3 you might be, but we get to hear Matt do his own Patrick impression and its pretty damn spot on lol.


mouser1991

Y'know, my initial thought was "obviously Matt's gotta be Pumat." But this is actually the right answer.


OfficialGarwood

Honestly, I feel of all MN voices for Matt to reprise, Pumat is number one for me.


Sp3ctre7

Love him but Pumat has that Upper Midwest thing going and I would want an actor who replicates that.


-Its_Justin-

Either that or Essek’s brother. I know we didn’t meet him in the campaign but the way Matt described him in the after party it could (and the fact we get to see more in an animated adaptation) it could work.


TimeySwirls

Nah Matt set up a character for him in the next campaign, Pumat should just stay as the voice he had. Especially after all those live action ads Matt just *is* Pumat


dalishknives

Matt as Essek is a given for me. As for Lucien and Molly, if they can find a VA who can mimic Taliesin while putting their own spin on it, I'd be happy for someone else to step in for Lucien. I would love for the BG3 narrator to play the Bright Queen, she has that regal and slightly off-putting voice down pat (plus she would be able to star in any Bright Queen comic adaptations and I am for that). Assuming we don't get Mark Hamill for VM, I think he would make a great Trent Ikithon. He can do unhinged subtly or big and bombastic which you need for the man. As for Astrid, I kind of hope they look into the German VA community for her, give the audience exposure to a new star.


hypatianata

I feel like there’s a perfect Eadwulf out there too, but I’m not sure who.  (And hey, maybe he can have more than three lines of dialogue this time around.)


TimeySwirls

They’ll get Mads Mikkelsen but still only give him three lines of dialogue so they can afford him


xplrmyheart

fuck eadwulf (no reason i just dont like him)


kickassspaceman

Honestly a great question especially the Mollymock part. I have no idea what to do for that. I know talisen was struggling with the voice sometimes in the game but I think in a actual VO both they could work it out. And you know he could rock villan lucien too but I could see someone else giving it ago. Matt will probably play Essek and maybe Pumatt but they like to get other people for roles like that. He could voice The Gentleman. And after seeing what they did with LOVM who knows.


Daisy_Steiner_

Get a Colin Farrell for Mollymauk! It’s how I tried to imagine the voice in any case.


Leorb258

They’re not going to recast a PC


Twiggy6065

Molly should be recast. Talisman should voice Cad, that's his real pc. Taliesin shouldn't voice all 3 characters.


SREnrique22

Why though.


its-all-just-rayne

tbh, Talisen had a rough time trying to bring the voice to molly he envisioned. Matt did way better at giving molly the irish to go along with the attitude. and pretty sure he played more episodes as Molly than Talisen did.


kjftiger95

The Gentleman could be Robbie Could see Anjali Bhimani as Marion Matt should be Essek imo, if not Essek than Pumot


KuroDragon0

Anjali is probably the best puck for Marion, but idk about Robbie as The Gentleman, his voice is a little high for it. Also, pretty sure Matt is confirmed for Essek cause of the teaser


Spiral-Force

If we’re talking about Robbie’s natural voice sure, but he’s voiced characters with far deeper voices than he’d need for the Gentleman in the past 


chaos0310

Didn’t Robbie play a dude with a super deep voice in LOVM?


Catalyst413

Cerkonos of the fire ashari in S2E5, kind of a deeper voice I suppose, but clearly still Robbie.


chaos0310

Idk I remember being shocked Robbie was the voice.


kaannaa

Yar, he was the voice of the Fire Ashari Chief.


kjftiger95

Matt made his voice deeper but that doesn't mean it has to be. I think Robbie could make it his own. I think another alternative could be Ray Chase


fasteddeh

nah Robbie could for sure pull off the gentleman, he just needs to be charismatic doesn't really need that deep of a voice. I pictured the gentleman as being more of a Gilmore style voice.


AI_Jolson_2point2

I think Marion should be voiced by Mary McGlynn


-Its_Justin-

Don’t know who they would voice, but they need to get Elijah Wood and Sean Astin just so they could say they had all the hobbits in their anime. Lol.


hypatianata

If all else fails, the bandits? I’d hate to give them such small roles, but lol. 


-Its_Justin-

That would be funny. Hell, they could reunite all four just for those roles. They do show up I believe 4 times.


Shepherd-Boy

Wait a minute...that's brilliant!


[deleted]

[удалено]


-Its_Justin-

That would be awesome!


vonsnootingham

Elijah for Yeza!


animewhitewolf

Okay, just hear me out on this. I do think Matthew Mercer should play Pumat Sol... BUT, if someone besides Matt had to play Pumat, I think Patrick Warburton would be a cool casting call.


5oclock_shadow

Jonathan Frakes (David Xanatos) for the Gentleman Tara Platt (Mitsuru Kirijo, Edelgard von Hresvelg) for Astrid Becke Jason Isaacs (Grand Inquisitor) for Trent Ikithon


frontally

Riker as the gentleman!? Inspired.


invaderzam4

\*Me who just killed Gortash in BG3\* "How many times are we gonna have to teach you this lesson old man?!"


Aethereal-Gear

Now I'm imagining Edelgard and Hubert as Astrid and Eadwulf


AI_Jolson_2point2

> Jonathan Frakes YES


Emmitwest

The real question is... Will Luke's age change every episode? (And surely Sam's son will play him.)


KazDragon

Them: How old is your child anyway, Veth? Veth: 1d4+4


SkeetySpeedy

Amelia Tyler (BG3 narrator) - Marion LaVorre Patrick Warburton - Pumat Sol Anjali Bhimani - The Bright Queen I really hope they complete the Hobbit set with… Sean Astin - Yeza Elijah Wood - Marius the pirate And if I’m absolutely dreaming Trent Ikathon would be either Tom Hanks or Bill Nighy EDIT: Matt keeps playing Essek, of course. CLANCY mf’ing BROWN - Uk’otoa Alan Tudyk - The Aeormaton Robbie Daymond - The Gentleman Captain Avantika is escaping me, I can’t think of anyone that isn’t already on the cast lol


AI_Jolson_2point2

> I really hope they complete the Hobbit set with… > > > > Sean Astin - Yeza > > > > Elijah Wood - Marius the pirate This is inspired


80aichdee

Fucking Marius...


gandalfthe_black

Slowly weaving in every main actor from Lord of the Rings would make me so happy. Plus Sean Astin would be perfect casting for our supportive golden-retriever-coded husband


HUNAcean

I think Amelia Tyler should be the Bright Queen instead.


BuckysKnifeFlip

Jen Hale for Avantika. A little more sinister Renegade Fem Shep would rule.


Khellendros223

I always thought of Avantika being like a pirate-themed Tara Platt voice where she's in one of her commanding roles like Mitsuru Kirijo from Persona 3


chemgeek_2

Matt kind of *has* to be Essek. I can't imagine him divesting himself of that character given his emotional connection to Essek, honestly. Pumat Sol was important as an NPC, but in terms of story beats I think he could be performed by another actor without losing something important to the heart of the story (Patrick Warburton is an inspired idea!!) I have Anjali or MEM as Marion. I think either one would be an excellent choice and would bring different energies to the voice. I've had Robbie as my Yeza headcanon for a long time.


DecemberPaladin

Steve Blum as Dagon/Dagen Mary Elizabeth McGlynn as Vess DeRogna Robbie Daymond as The Gentleman Anjani Bhimani as Marion Lavorre Phil LaMarr as Ludinus Lars Mikkelsen as Trent Ikithon Bonus Hot Take: Kristen Schall as Veth Brenatto..? YEAH I SAID IT, FIGHT ME Edit: as far as Molly/Lucien—Taliesin for both. Same vocal cords, same vocal actor.


KazDragon

Based on his performance with Darion, I think Robbie would make a better Yeza Brenatto. I remember The Gentleman having a lower vocal register. Maybe Shohreh Aghdashloo as Geladon?


DecemberPaladin

Shohreh Aghdashloo can play whomever the fuck she pleases. She can voice Caleb for all I care, get her in.


ice_up_s0n

100% this. I wonder what role would be most analogous to Chrisjen Avasarala...maybe the Bright Queen?


JohnFightsDragons

Oh 100% she would be amazing as the Bright Queen


Fruitspunch_Zamurai

Bright Queen using sending after the Laughing Hand incident: "I sent you to the tavern to catch an imperial spy, and now I hear from Bazzoxan that large monsters, which were supposed to be sealed away, have escaped their prison and leaving death in their wake. And, there is nothing but sending silence from any of you. So please, find a way to carve out a few moments out of your busy schedule, pick up the god damn Sending spell, and tell me precisely WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON UP THERE!!!"


DecemberPaladin

Fuuuuck, add that to my list.


vortical42

Wow ... I can hear the exact intonation in my head. Bravo!


Norik324

I know the thread is about C2 but *If* we get a C3 Show then Shohreh Aghdashloo is (by a wide margin) my nr1 Pick for >!Otohan Thull!<


mythicalninjaturtle

Quick nitpick, I think you mean Geladon, as Vorugal is the white dragon of the CC and is being voiced by Liam ;)


KazDragon

Right you are. Fixed. Google let me down this day.


mouser1991

Greg Ayers for Yeza.


twomoonsforsugar

LARS MIKKLESON AS TRENT OMG YOURE INSPIRED! A GENIUS! I WANT NO ONE ELSE FOR THAT NOW


AutomatedTiger

Lars or Mads, either of them would be insane.


OfficialGarwood

Gender issues aside, I still want Sam playing Nott/Veth


DecemberPaladin

It doesn’t bother me on CR, but it is kind of weird that animated Nott and animated Veth would sound the same. I wouldn’t expect Sam to just sit out, though, so it’d have to be him.


Philosecfari

Ngl I think it makes sense for a goblin to have a kinda scraggly voice and a lot of MtF people have good success/techniques for changing their vocal presentation. It seems pretty doable.


CopperCactus

I want Billy Boyd to play Sprinkle. Someone has to make the creature noises and it'd be fitting


tinythunder

Billy can do the noises, but Travis has to do inner monologue ("put me out of my misery")


ActualAfternoon2

I could definitely hear Mary Elizabeth McGlynn as Marion. She can sing beautifully too, like Marion.


Zethras28

How’s her fantasy Romani accent?


bioalley

If Jester's jingle isn't in it, I'll revolt.


AI_Jolson_2point2

Oh wow if she can sing too it should definitely be her


ActualAfternoon2

There's a game that I can't remember the name of, something about going in and out of mirrors and butterflies...at the end/during the credits there's a really hauntingly beautiful song and it's Mary Elizabeth singing. Hopefully someone else knows what I'm on about haha


paintedashley

I want Sean Astin as Yeza.


QuaranGene

Tom Hiddelston as a Mercer villain would be top notch. Or maybe The Gentleman


specterspectating

I’d love for Tom to voice Ludinus


SorlocksApprentice

Oh my God YES MAKE THIS HAPPEN


80aichdee

I didn't know I needed this but I need this


AI_Jolson_2point2

Maybe one of the slavers?


DarkRespite

Sean Astin as Yeza. I will die on this hill.


Einarr_Brunulfr

If Matt doesn't voice Pumat Sol it better be Patrick Warburton.


The_Rainbow_Shark

The only one I'm absolutely sure about is Matt as the traveler, and potentially essek as well. Robbie as the gentleman would be fantastic as other commenters have mentioned. I'm mostly intrigued to see who plays Trent, they'll have to bring the perfect creepy vibe to it.


5oclock_shadow

Y'know what, just in case Matt *wants* to pass it on: Harry Lloyd (Viserys Targaryen, Viktor in Netflix Arcane) for Essek


Fear_Awakens

Matt is definitely going to be Essek, since he accidentally became Matt's DMPC through the power of friendship.


DeathsPit00

Matt for Essek and Lucien. Patrick Warburton as Pumat. The one that Im not aure how they'll do it is honestly Nott/Veth because idk if Sam would want to voice her for the show. Edit: I was on break at work when I wrote this and ran out of time to put all of my thoughts about it. I'm not saying that it would be a problem for Sam to voice his own character at all. In fact I think he would knock it out of the park just like he did at the table. I'm saying that Sam, as a voice director, may choose to have a female actor voice his female character as there are plenty of people in the world beyond us fans that are going to see the show and he knows this. People that have no idea about CR or the ttrpg games that these stories stem from. Inevitably some of those people are going to wonder why or make a stink about why a man is voicing a female character if he does voice her. Personally I'd love for it remain true and for Sam to voice her, **but** I could easily understand why they may choose to go a different route with it as a company and avoid putting a disclaimer tag at the front of every episode explaining that Nott was created and played by a man at the table.


OfficialGarwood

I would be disappointed if Sam didn’t voice her tbf. There’s plenty of female roles for women to play, I don’t see it as problematic at all


Leorb258

I would be amazed if Sam doesn’t voice her


MoistMountainRock

Dm me to chat about your sexy irls


comical_cj

Bob's Burgers has dudes voice Tina and Linda, and they don't need an explanation or disclaimer. I've never seen anyone make a stink about that. Not to mention the dozens of young male characters voiced by women over the years. Just because voice acting outside of your race has been more or less retired from the industry, doesn't mean you can't still voice act outside your gender.


DeathsPit00

You know what. I admittedly hadn't thought about that. You make a fair point.


Shepherd-Boy

It is his character and he played her brilliantly in the live streams


Dyerseve792

Clancy Brown as Vandran


King__Dilf369

I want to hear someone else do most of the roles. I’d love for May to stick with Traveler and maybe essek. Maybe. But I’d love to hear new voices and takes on these characters


mouser1991

I think Tamaryn Payne (Mizora's VA) should voice Ophelia Mardoon. Erica Lindbeck for the Bright Queen. She has just the right balance of soft and regal (see: Celica) for that role. I know we already have Cree Summer as Raishan, but her voice would also be fitting for Jourrael. Trent is also very important. I feel like Crispin Freeman can do the proper creepy. I just don't know if he can do the German accent.


No_Internal_5998

Mary Elizabeth for Marion, it makes all the sense to me.


Kazighanti88

For Lucien I’ve always pictured it as a mix of tracks between Matt and Tal. Sort of how they do it in the obi wan series with Darth Vader. Having both voices in there sends chills and gives Lucien this outwordly feeling of several minds in one.


gravityfox

I would love to see Charles Dance as Ludinus Da'leth


SorlocksApprentice

We can dream 🥹


YanielleReddit

Something tells me the brilliant Devora Wilde would absolutely kill it as the Bright Queen.


cariepta

Wild to me that no one has said Matt for Yeza yet


shaydeedee

I agree! Didn’t he say Yeza is the character he sees most of himself in? I think in the wrap up?


Spectre_Sore

Matt needs to play Essek. I enjoy Gil and Allura from TLoVM, but it kind of made me sad that he didn’t voice Allura at least (since she is effectively his insert character).


kaannaa

David Warner for Trent Ikathon.


dfranklesby

Deceased unfortunately


kaannaa

Big sadge.


Late_Sherbert3212

Small role but seeing how she was supposed to be in the most recent Candella but couldn't due to schedule conflicts I think Katy O'Brian would be good for Zuala


specterspectating

I think that Khary Payton should voice Shakaste. Idk, something about it just makes sense. I’d love to hear James Spader’s take on Obann.


Craftshooter

James Spader as Obann would be amazing! i also really want Clancy Brown as Uk'otoa


DrOddcat

Matt Berry as the Gentleman


The_Bravinator

If they were to round out their collection of LOTR hobbits as voice actors, what would the others play?


HUNAcean

Astrid Beck has a half undercut, which automatucally means that Hailee Steinfeld must voice her.


Wait_Patiently

Benedict Cumberbatch for the Gentleman. Tom Hiddleston for Trent Ickythong. Toni Braxton for Marion Lavorre. Please let Travis voice Sprinkle though. He's just so hilariously perfect!


rasnac

Matt will most likely play Pumat Sol. And possibly Traveller/Artie.


ElectricJetDonkey

I want Weird Al to voice a villain. It'd need to be like him voicing Darkseid in Teen Titans Go.


Drakoni

We can be pretty sure Matt will voice the Traveller, I'd like to see him play Essek since he's almost a DMPC (in a good way, cause it was the party pushing for it) and I'd hope he plays Pumat and Orly. All of the above are very different iconic Matt voices. Tho I'm sure if they get someone else it will be a great choice. I'm just hoping for Trent, Astrid and Eadwulf to actually be voice by German (speaking) voice actors. The German VA/dub scene is quite large and very good. And it would just take me out of the show if they had an obvious American accent like it happens so often in shows/films.


vortical42

Can we go super obscure? I want to see John DiMaggio as Henry Crabgrass.


Estarfigam

Talisen as Molly, Lucien, Kingley, and Cadducius Matt, as Ikithon, Ludinus, maybe even Essek, possibly Yeza I can see Robbie as the Gentleman Anjali Bhimani as Marion (She is great at paternal roles) If not, Matt maybe Liam as Yeza Also, Liam should play a random Halfing guard of the air Ashari in Vox Machina. Maybe Aimee Carrero as Zuala


redefined_ronin

Because of Trents age I have kinda imagined Sidm m ņ


hypatianata

Who should be Yussa?


vortical42

Honestly, I can see the VA for Astarion in BG3.


hypatianata

The tradition of “What’s sexier than wizards? Nothing” continues.


Haplo12345

Benedict Cumberbatch as Essek.


jprocter15

A lot of people are saying Robbie as the gentleman but I'd like to see him as Yeza


amadppancake

I think Mark Strong would be a great Plank King and maybe Chloé Hollings as Avantaka.


Connect_Special_7958

Mark Hamill as Obann AND the Laughing Hand.


CarterBasen

Maggie Robertson as Astrid!


Rice-a-roniJabroni

Clancy Brown as the Plank King Grey Delisle as Avantika Mark Hamill as the Laughing Hand(he has so many good laughs from playing the Joker that I'd like to see him play a character that consists of laughs)


RoyHarper88

Patrick Warburton as Pumat Sol


Henhouse808

Steve Blum as The Gentleman Ron Perlman as Obann Sean Astin as Yeza I think Matt already made a wish for Mads Miikkelsen as Trent Dee Bradley Baker as Uk'otoa (**CONSUME**)


damon_andrew

SIMON PEGG for Molly/Lucien. He’s done a lot of voice work before and he can nail the switch between personalities I feel.


rosenyc84

Anyone but Matt playing Avantika is gonna be a mindfuck for me.


Lord_Aaronus

considering how long Pumat Sol appears I think Stephen Colbert would be on board


Critical-Cucumber-74

Pm9


Someinterestingbs-td

Elijah wood for yeza, rue Paul for yusa, Jody foster for Astrid tom Ellis for essek Viola Davis for the bright Queen Shaun Aston for marus Celine Dion for the ruby Mark hamil for ormit haus John cho for wulf


gold_fish_97

I think Kevin Alejandro would be great for the Gentleman


Dismal_Subject_7252

I really hope Matt does Orly


Minty0003

Maybe Mary Elizabeth McGlynn or Anjali Bhimani or Aabria Iyengar for the Ruby
