Troy Baker is possibly the best voice actor in videogames, ever.

[GearSolidMetal]

Seriously, this guy is a grade A+ talent. Just look at his roles on IMDB.

http://m.imdb.com/name/nm1684869/?ref_=m_tt_cl_i3

Did you know in the Arkham Knight series, he's played Joker (nearly perfectly emulating Mark Hamill's performance), Tim Drake, Jason Todd, Harvey Dent, and Red Hood? And Dick Greyson in Injustice:GodsAmongUs?

Way too many pics to post, but this is far more awesome.

Pagan Min in FarCry4?

And he's been well publicized as playing Booker DeWitt in Bioshock Infinite, and Joel in The Last of Us.

 

[GearSolidMetal]

Shinnok, Fujin, and Erron Black in MKX.

Revolver Ocelot in MGS5 Phantom Pain.

Kai Leng in Mass Effect 3.

Jake Muller from the Resident Evil series.

 

[GearSolidMetal]

Quite impressive. Here's even more.

After all this, would you consider him to be the best voice actor in videogames, ever?

And if not, who?

 

[Avenger]

Jennifer Hale.

 

[vcmmafan]

TS I agree except with ONE of his roles.

He was not nearly as good as Mark Hamil (Luke) at being the Joker. Hamil did that perfect for years...from the 90's BTAS to the first two Arkham Video Games

[YT]BZM6rhGKvIE[/YT]

Hamil is clearly better. Troy only got to do it because Mark took a break for the third game. If they ever make a "Killing Joke" movie it's going to be Mark as the voice.

 

[Scoop]

What makes him the best ever? His voice has the same amount of variance as Steven Seagal's face.



That's some samples of her anime roles but she's done many many roles in games as well.

 

[GearSolidMetal]

Jennifer Hale.

She's my all-time favorite.

Sure.

That video proves nothing, different sound quality. Hammil is the originator but Baker is right up there.

What a strange criticism. He was just doing an impression of Hamill's Joker and did a great job with it. Obviously he won't live up to the original.

This.

I'd say he comes very close to emulating Hamill's performance. From what I hear from those that played the game, if you weren't told that wasn't Mark Hamill, it'd be very tough to hear otherwise.

You can tell the difference if you've listened to Mark a lot, Troy just wasn't the same. Also it was Mark in Arkham Knight not Troy.

He's definitely a versatile guy though.

I was referring to Arkham Origins.

I thought Mark retired from playing Joker. Happy to hear he's back.

It's obviously John Dimaggio AINEC.

What roles has he voiced?

Jennifer Hale is up there as well.

What roles has he voiced?

Marcus Fenix from Gears of War, Craig Murdok from Tekken 6, Wakka and Kimahri Ronso from FFX and tons of other roles. Check his IMDB. Also he's a lot more varied then Troy Baker.

Tara Strong is my fave female V/O actor.

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0152839/?ref_=nv_sr_1

Also they did this together with some other amazing actors..

 

[Hitman81]

David Hayter. He hasn't been in a bajillion games but he's the most iconic voice in gaming IMO.

 

[Edgar Allan Hoe]

He has range, no doubt.

Hayter is tremendous as Snake and that's a really recognizable role but I value Troy's range a little more.
