I'm just wondering where game companies draw talent for the voices of the various characters.

 

I admit that I'd love to be a voice actor but I doubt that'd happen.

Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.

I think a lot of the time the devs. hear your voice from another game/movie. I know that the Activision used a few guys from Band of Brothers to do voice acting in CoD2.

Talent agencies?

Talk to an agency: here in Britain one needs to be a member of Actors' Equity.

I'm pretty sure it's a guild thing over here to, at least,mostly

Something to think about at least....not as a full-time career, mind you, but as an extra influx of cash and fun to do. Always been told I have a distinct (In a good way) voice. :p"

I used to do commercial focus groups: free beer and pretzels whilst people ask you a series of questions about their new and exciting marketing ideas ... AND you get paid!

So where does one sign up? :D :)"

HK47: Commentary: It is not possible to destroy the master. It is suggested that you run while my blasters warm, meatbags.

Bastila to Revan: You are easily the vainest, most arrogant man I have ever met!

Canderous to Bastila: Insults? Maybe if your master had trained your lightsaber to be as quick as your tongue you could have escaped those Vulkars, you spoiled little Jedi princess!

I was impressed that Tara Stone voices both Toots and Princess Clara in Drawn Together. I had no idea untill I wiki'd it.

 

I'd give her my support for some NWN2 vo's but I'm not sure how Obsidian and her could work the details out.

Correction - Tara Strong.

Spreading beauty with my katana.

Am a fan of Kath Soucie in Icewind Dale II & BG II, personally. A person's voice probably changes over time, though. But I imagine professional voice actors/actresses likely possess tone ranges that normal people don't.
