Voice acting and your first class choice...

It will affect my second choice. My second choice was a toss up for me between the Barb and Monk in terms of game play, but the Barb voice is awesome and the Russian accent is not. I speak Russian, so the accent, which is either fake or a native speaker of Russian and English who is failing to imitate a Russian accent, really sounds atrocious. How hard can it really be to get a person with a real Russian accent in Irving? There are Russian-immigrant actors all over the West Coast. If the implement language selection without region change (I think I heard something about that at least for China), maybe I will just play the monk in Russian because his voice is fine there.

But, the first pick will still go to the Wizard first, even though I don't like the male or female's voice.

As for As far as the other classes go, I like both DHs' voice and the male WD's voice.

Do you know who the other VAs are? Like the Male/Female Barb, WD, Monk, and DH? o_0

Looks like there's a little bit on IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2186735/fullcredits#cast

One that's not listed there that I think I recognize is the female wizard. Pretty sure it's Grey DeLisle who voiced Azula in Avatar: The Last Airbender. The attitude is similar too.

Jay Wilson confirmed on his Twitter a few days ago in response to a fan that the actor that voices the Witch Doctor is Carl Lumbly.

If you check the guy's twitter stream Jay is replying to you can see he asked about the Witch Doctor a couple of tweets earlier.

People actually like the female Wizard's voice? Madness - sounds like the worst one of the lot to me. Want to play wizard first, so definitely going with the male voice.

Male Barbarian.

I suppose it does. The quality of voice acting is so much important to me, but I would prefer to hear a woman's soothing, sexy, soft voice rather than a dude's. So I intend to make my toons females.

As for the classes specifically, all of those keybinds are well-done imo. However, the "heat-of-battle" ones I've heard from the Female Wizard are quite, uhh, obnoxious. Fortunately, Wizard will probably be my 4th or 5th rolled class anyway.

If not the voice acting, then the deciding factor for me (at least between male or female DH) can definitely be found in this video.

Shooting that crossbow from the hip might work in Gears or War, but won't hold against hell's minions!
