StaceyPowers Posted May 19, 2021 Posted May 19, 2021 It is usually easier for me to recognize actors by their voices than faces, but in video games I am often shocked how long I can listen to an actor I know from TV and not recognize them in the game. Are you also often startled by whom you didn’t recognize?
The Blackangel Posted May 19, 2021 Posted May 19, 2021 The only game I play with voice acting is RDR2, and none of the actors in it have done any TV acting that I'm aware of. I've watched interviews with them on YouTube, and none of them have any TV/movie credits. Or so they said.
Reality vs Adventure Posted May 19, 2021 Posted May 19, 2021 I immediately recognized Kiefer Sutherland's voice in Metal Gear Solid 5 and had no idea he was a voice actor in it.
killamch89 Posted May 19, 2021 Posted May 19, 2021 If I've heard their voices in other games or other media previously, I'll definitely recognize them. But they also have to possess very distinctive voices for me to immediately pick up who it is voicing a certain character.
Patrik Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 not really, i spent long time playing GTA San Andreas to find out in 2021 that Officer Tenpenny is actually using Samuel Jackson's voice lmao

I looked it up when I first heard his voice and I said that sounded like Samuel L Jackson. Just like Nero from DMC 5 is voiced by Ichigo Kurosaki's english voice actor and I immediately picked it up.

Heatman Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 Well, it all depends on how familiar that I am with the character's voice to begin with. If it's not who's very popular to me, I'm definitely not going to remember him.
