i think the most anoying voice i have heard is the girl on beyond atlantis 2, which is really part ,3, i think they used on broken sword 3 too,

I can't remember her voice but I can think of a few others! Most of the voice actors in Forever Worlds, the wife in The Watchmaker and most of the voice acting in The Chronicles of the Sword was so bad, especially the fairies, it was entertaining! - loved the game!

You loved the game because the voice acting was so bad?

I didn't phrase things too well did I!
I loved the game because of the story, despite the awful voices and the terrible accents which after a while I found amusing! From what I remember the graphics were pretty awful too!

BLACK MIRROR the main man.I forget his name now.
There just wasn't any life or feeling in his voice.

EVERY character in Watchmaker. YEECH. It was almost as thought they were being forced at gunpoint to record their lines.

Becky crosses The Chronicles of the Sword off of her "To Buy" list.

Wait, it was never there in the first place. Never mind.

Fairies with dreadful accents. Curious.

The police officer guarding the door to Eulemberg's bedroom in Martin Mystere--

I can usually just ignore bad voices--and often voices that bother others don't bother me--like Samuel in Black Mirror--but this guy drove me absolutely nuts.

The police officer in Martin Mystere and Mustavio in Keepsake.....aaarrrggghhhhh!

Mary

Mary, I have to agree--Mustavio made me nuts--I was glad not to have to deal with him too often.

I have to agree that Mustavio had an irritating voice but I though it fitted his character!

You just don't know what you're missing Becky!!! I would have included Chronicles of the Sword in Flotsam's list but it had a few action sequences -you could have had a cup of tea while you were doing them but they were there all the same!

Can you do them while closing your eyes?

Only while/instead of drinking the tea.

I have to get on the "Watchmaker" bandwagon. That was the worst voice acting I've ever heard in my life. The wife sounded like a junkie on the nod and the caretaker guy...you could barely understand him.

there was some other game I played recently...Niburu maybe? I can't quite remember...anyway, one of the villains couldn't quite get his nationality straight. He kept wandering around Europe, sometimes Scottish, sometimes German, sometimes Russian or Hungarian. Odd.

My choice wont be popular with most here.

To me the voice of the lead in Keepsake. I have not played this game simply because of her voice.
I couldn't even finish the demo because it irritated me so much. Now thats bad.

Gabriel Knight himself, in "the beast within"

GreyFuss, have you tried the European version of keepsake? The 'American Lydia' grated on my nerves as well, the British was much better for me.

The Beast Within was very funny for me - all the supposedly German characters speaking grammatically wrong German with such a thick American accent!!

Wollmaus

European version? I didn't know there were two English versions. I wonder if there is someplace to hear a demo of a British voice.

Thanks I'll have to check that out.

Becky you sure know how to throw out straight lines ...must...not...make...joke....eerrggghhh! *runs*

While I have long considered Syberia a fine game, the kid named "Momo" (Spelling?) was awful. I've even wondered if all the other characters didn't sound pretty good simply because he was pretty bad.

The Haze

Momo didn't bother me. I used to work with People with Autism and other developmental disabilities and Momo was pretty high functioning!

WW

GreyFuss, sorry, I don't have the link for the demo of keepsake anymore . There is a demo of the English version - I am certain about that. Hope Becky might help...!!

Wollmaus

The demo of the English version is the one that irritated me.

Hi

Whilst I didn't "hate" the voice of Gabriel in GK2, I WAS terribly disappointed that it wasn't the lush, over the top tones of the delightful Mr. Curry

[Still trying to make my mind up about the worst voices I've ever heard - but the Watchmaker is looming large ]

Cheers.
