I'm really down for each character having their own unique and PERMANENT voices. Whether or not they make new ones, it would add to originality of characters. Also, it's always best to get an interesting sounding voice, where if you heard it, you would instantly know which character if fighting.

Personally, I wouldn't mind if they went retro on the voices. For example...

Sheeva: MK3 voice (given)
Sonya: MKDA voice (originally shared with Kitana)
Kitana: MK2 voice (returned in MK Gold and I thought it sounded great)
Mileena: MKD voice (It's become part of her personality, especially the death scream)
Jade: MKA voice (I liked it for some reason, something new would be good as well)
Sindel: MKD voice (I can't imagine seeing her with a voice other than her MKD one.)

Those are the voices I feel necessary to each character. I suppose out of all of them, Sonya, Kitana, and Jade could receive new voices, but the rest need to keep their unique voices.

OH by the way, the reason why I use females only is because most of the males have the same voice and it's hard to differentiate.

Of course Cyrax is a given, as long as they don't give him his voice from MK Annihilation XD

Oh, and for the love of KESHA, I really hope that if they show a cutscene or cinematic with Goro or Kintare GROWLING, they better get a realisting sounding growl like recorded from an actual animal, not someone from the MK team going ".....rrrrrrRRRRRAAAAAAWWWWRRRRRR!!!!"

Me too. Though, it wouldn't be bad if he wouldn't talk at all, just kill people. Like a killing machine...


One thing I hate with voices is this: in MKvsDC Kitana had a beautiful voice in the cutscenes, but during the fights her voice, or the sounds she produced, were annoying as hell.

It's not very audible, but you can actually hear Sektor's voice in his round intro during the most recent gameplay video (the one ending w/Mileena fatality). Not sure if it's the same voice, but it's worth a check I guess.

Richard Epcar indicated quite a while back that he was voicing a "God of Thunder" for a video game, on his Facebook (this was following MKvsDCU's release). A majority of the comments on this status thought he meant Thor, but I took it to mean Raiden...

Take from that what you will.

Haha I love that video!

The voices have improved ALOT since then.
I'm liking the sound of the voices I've heard so far, Especially Mileena's.
I love her shocked scream when she gets kicked or something.

You're right. This is a FATALITY!

MKDA Cyrax was better than what he got in MKA. Also Stryker's voice in MKA was pretty good.

I sometimes say "ANSWER ME!!!" in the same fashion as MKA Sektor whenever my brother or friends don't answer my questions the first few times (mostly to annoy them). So, yeah, I like that voice. I also hope (and it seems to be) that Scorpion's voice is the same as in MKvsDC: "You cannot harm me...but I will show you the MEANING OF PAIN!!!!" In fact, I liked most of the voices in MKvsDC...but I did not like Shang Tsung's one bit...

I wasn't too big a fan of the MK 4/Gold voices at all. I didn't hate it perse, but I didn't think Johnny Cage should sound like when Bob Saget tries to be funny back when he was on America's Funniest Home Videos.. Train wreck of a show..

Ever since Lambertt did Raiden in the movie I've always wanted him to do the voice for him in all the games and movies.

It wasn't manly, just really weird and awesome sounding. They gave her a generic manly voice in MKA, and that failed.

^ While I agree that'd be pretty cool, I personally would MUCH rather see (well, hear...) Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa reprise Shang Tsung in a game. Pretty much the entire reason that I like Shang Tsung is because of his performance in the movie.

Defo, I loved that voice in MK3.
She also needs to be thinned out, she was too buffed up in Armageddon.
And instead of the terrible mohawk she should have a tight high pony tail.

Awesome thread.

I certain ly hope they keep most of the MKvsDC vocie actors for the characters. For example, I'm glad that Dana (the voice actress) is back and reprised her role as Sonya (she was perfect).

I also expect an d hope that Mileena has the amazing voice style she had in MKD/MKA.

Sindel better get the "scream voice" special move from MK3 again. Her MKD scream (sound) special move wasn't as good.

Agreed! That would definitely be the PERFECT Raiden! Lambert's voice is freaking awesome.

I agree with Ninja_Mime. I absolutely adore Sheeva's amazing MK3 voice. I was hoping they would use it for MKA...too bad they didn't.

I hope to hear that voice return in all her glory.

That's true. Let's just hope she has it back if she returns.
