Comment with your character!
In the comment, post a link to a video, mp3, or whatever it is you kids are using these days that give an example of your character's voice! (Or your headcanon one if they don't have one already!)
You can either embed the video into the comment or simply link to it.
This is a fun way to see just how the characters yours are interacting with speak!! And anyway, if someone had a sexy accent, you'd want to hear it, right?
HAVE FUN !

Sola's voice is the same as Link's so it sounds like this.

Except, y'know, he actually says words in Vatheon.

[crackpotcrocker]

Giga gasp! It's Carlos Alazraqui and David Lewis (the live action version is rather on spot. Not exact but close)

[closedcircuit]

Here! He's the one nagging.

[double_edged]

Joey D'Auria as Alister!

And some of his appearances as an actor

[rainbowarch]

There's no accent sexier than this one ok

and his demon voice WARNING: REALLY SAD SPOILERS HERE

[not_heavens_adam]

Here is Johnny's voice. He's the first one to speak. /o/

And for his less serious voice/moments just listen to the first 30 seconds of that.

[onebecametwo]

There doesn't seem to be very many small clips around of devit, so if you just listen to the first 30 seconds or so of this one you can get a good idea.

And then if you you want to hear Devit and his brother doing some creepy twins talking at the same time, followed by them singing their creepy 'lullaby' fusion song, go here.

[asea]

For Walter, I defer to his Japanese voice, which is probably very recognizable since he's voiced by Sakurai, aka Tiir Rumibul, aka Cloud Strife, aka that polar bear. Anyway, samples: when he's mad, when he's nice, what he usually sounds like, and screaming if you want to hear that.

Alternatively, this (9:20) is is his voice in the localization. Great first impression, I know.

[fightforastar]

...ohai Cloud.

[asea]

Hello, Tifa. B) Aren't voicetwins so great?

[dwightandclean]

Youtube: One of my favorite Edge promos and wow....it's really hard to find a promo where he doesn't go completely psychotic XD

Youtube: What's Opera Doc? because....fat horse 8D! oh and bunny in drag ^-^

[goodnightsweetprince]

PRINCE GUMBALL IS NEIL PATRICK HARRIS. NO ARGUMENTS ARE VALID.

Aaaannnddd...

Just cuz I want two.

[runawayrival]

Wally obviously doesn't have a canon voice but I always imagine it as sounding somewhat like a the Vocaloid, Oliver. just... less roboty sounding obviously.

Here's one example

And another

...and one more because I love Oliver's cute little voice. (this last one is actually probably my favorite. listen to this one if you don't listen to the others! It's adorable)

[contemptibility]

LIKE JAE ABOVE I defer to Tiir's Japanese voice aka Sakurai aka Walter except not as low—

Conversational, being nice, smug (cw: blood), and angry, whooo.

Saber / Fate/

[pendragon]

I go by the Japanese voice, as I like it and they change the one in the English dub every single time something comes out. (Besides, who does dubs, amirite?)

Saber's final moments in the Fourth Holy Grail War. One of my favorite parts. Watch the entire video if you're interested. (I linked directly to the particular part.)

[gtfo_mypersonalspace]

Well let's see. Ya get two for William here. This scene has his lovely Japanese voice actor doing the job and pretty much this entire OVA has his sexy British accent :)

[diehardreaper]

HELLS yeah for sexy British accents! /Faust go do your tags

[chainsmoke_king]

You know you can't resist him, Ronnie~

[diehardreaper]

WILL NO HE CAN'T RICOCHET BACK TO YOU HE JUST HAD HIS HEART BROKEN

[chainsmoke_king]

Here's Izumo flipping out over his precious bar being scuffed up.

And here's his sexy engrish voice.

[420]

I think we can all agree that for Gamzee it is totally just this.

But for real, I always kinda pictured him as sounding like an even lazier Ted from Bill and Ted.

[beauchevalier]

Dragon Quest VIII has no Japanese voices, however the English version does. Angelo's voice actor in particular is Blake Ritson, who is equally an actor along with voice actor.

Cutscenes 28 to 39 are all the Maella Abbey/Angelo's character arc.

Here's some misc. clips too: one, two, three, and four.

[jagermeister]

Grimmjow with an added bonus of ass-kicking. He also sings too!

Kimblee's Japanese VA and his English one!

Demyx's English and his Japanese

[coolerthansora]

Roxas in English and Japanese. I don't mind his English voice, but I tend to keep his Japanese one in mind more when I play him. It just clicks better with the way I see his character.

Tifa in English Japanese... Both of these are higher in pitch than I always imagined her voice to be, but the English clip is sort of the way I imagine her speaking.

Laharl in Japanese. He's more pissy than usual in the beginning of this, but yeah. This is Laharl.

Anya - She speaks with a strange evenness and selects her words a shade too precisely.

[radiantwingedone]

Duke sounds like this in english (Its a couple of seconds in but shhh-). His japanese voice is this one, but I hear english more XD (Sweet, found the same scene again!)

Anna's VA did her character song, and she's in this radio drama as... just about the only girl. Oh. And this is a song from the last episode of K and is thus SPOILERS but its beautiful and pain

[flared]

Axel is voiced by the lovely Fuck-the-kids-I-do-it-for-the-cash-Quinton Flynn... and he's actually said that his normal voice isn't at all different from his Axel/Lea voice. Soooo when Quinton cusses, it's pretty hilarious.

Seriously. He's pretty damn sexy, ok.

Listen to this fucker.

OK.

... Also VA bros with such characters as Raiden, Sheldon from My Life as a Teenage Robot, Spiderman, and Reno. His Japanese VA also voices the Joker from the Dark Knight, Johnny Rayflo from Vassalord, Maes Hughes from FMA, and Iron Man from all the RDJ movies. Booyah.

Rarity on the other hand is voiced by an equally talented Tabitha St. Germain who also voices Princess Luna, Derpy Hooves, Granny Smith, Pashmina from Hamtaro, and Naomi Misora from Death Note!

[jagermeister]

And don't forget Kael'thas!

but hnnn Hughes

[flared]

Oh yeah! I forgot he voiced a dude from WoW! Granted, he's been in loads of things, so it's hard to keep track half the time. sob

[symmetrophile]

Death the Kid's voice actor, in both Japanese and English, are pretty prolific. However, I'm most fond of the English version, because Todd Haberkorn is a magnificent creature.

"Did I really forget to fold the tip of the toilet paper into a triangle?!"

"How incredibly disappointing!"

"I feel much better now."

Alas, I'd have linked his fight with Crona but YouTube has been taking down all the great non-AMVs lately. :/

Vanitas, Selim, Celes, and Faris

[seablaze]

Vanitas- English and Japanese
Bonus Round- Singing Japanese
I go either way but have a big weakness for his Japanese voice (especially singing).

Selim- English and Japanese
And pretending to be a normal kid in Japanese.
I prefer Japanese because it's what I'm used to.

Celes- Opera Singing ("Maria" starts in at 4:20)
I don't have an actual head canon voice for her yet.

Faris-- I head canon Faris' voice to be similar to Paku Romi or Ogata Megumi

Re: Vanitas, Selim, Celes, and Faris

[fulmination]

YOU CAN'T HAVE HIM PRIDE.

[redpeacoat]

This is how I do things, alright?

This is like every single dungeon line ever

[livingvessel]

For Ilya I default to Japanese, since that's what I heard her in first... and the one time I listened to her English voice I didn't really want to listen to it.

Being silly, in danger (it gets kind of gory) and from ten years ago, although she still sounds the same anyway. Incidentally, the last clip totally breaks my heart...

[fundemetal]

From the audiobook for The Lost Hero.

Since Leo's from a book, the audiobook is the closest we have to a canon voice for him. I'm not 100% sold on the voice, but it's what I've got. It's not bad, just not how I imagine him to sound. [At least his voice is better than Piper's. ;)]

[spiria]

Kohaku Hearts: Voiced by the lovely Inoue Marina! I think we all know which one is Kohaku in this scene. Kohaku also had a cameo appearance in Tales of Graces f, which did get localized .... but we don't talk about her English voice. Or, well. I don't. #stillscreaming

For the sake of completion though, her English voice in ToGf was Wendee Lee.

Yuri Egin: She has both a Japanese and English voice actress. c: Hayashibara Megumi is her Japanese voice (Yuri's part of the episode begins at about 9:25), while Cherami Leigh is her English voice (same deal, starts at 9:25). Both voices are excellent and suit her very well. Please be warned that Yuri is a Walking Spoiler, and if you have not finished the anime yet and want to see the ending episodes for yourself, proceed with caution. ... or just don't proceed at all, either way.

[heartandsoul]

well I sure got stuck in watching that episode dammit

[ourlegends]

yes good, you had lots of yuri. :D

[spacecase]

Maka: Laura Bailey. Yep. That's about all that needs to be said.

Also I don't like talking about her Japanese VA (euuuugh) but here is Maka's character song with Soul.

Jade: Headcanon voice all the way (watch out for wiggly Cake butt) no seriously I've talked about this forever

[diehardreaper]

Ronald - In Japanese he's voiced by KENN. (Here. Have a bonus clip of the boy belting.)

His English dub clips are a rare animal and I've been long vexed to show you guys what he sounds like since I play from the dub (thus the British accent) but you get a bit of it in Will's OAV here. The longer clip sounds more preshus, trust me.

Mephisto - Short clip here from the shorts where Meph and 'Mon are playing video games. Meph is voiced by the amazing Hiroshi Kamiya who also voiced a certain Izaya Orihara. Thus the reason why Meph and Zelda have a strained relationship.

Unfortunately, his English voice clips are even rarer than Ronald's so you'll have to make do with THIS. He shows up first few minutes in anyway.


Mikoto - As K has no dub yet, there is no need to hunt down rare dub clips. So here. Have this drama track. He is quite obviously the man of little words.

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

Minako:
Japanese Voice (How she makes the radio blow up, I have no idea)
One of two English voices
Season One dub (This is the one I think of when I type as her.)

Renge:
Renge's Laugh
English Dub
Japanese

Bloom:
Bloom's Voice

[savemegermany]

Minako has amazing technological talents.
I'm glad I'm not the only one fond of her dub voice.

[bondummy]

Italy is such a stereotypical Italian.

And Jasdero and Devit's weird song thing. There are otherwise no good clips of Dero.

[powerandstatus]

Marcello's voice actor is Josh Cohen. Sadly, there is no Japanese VA and I haven't yet considered one in my headcanon.

The Maella Abbey arc was linked above, so here's two clips.

Including the moment he crossed the Moral Event Horizon as well. Spoilers for this, obviously.
