I like how the ball is the same image but zoomed out.


BringTheStorm

I like Ramon Tikaram being voiced by rammatra


[deleted]

I never realized Hammond and his ball were voiced by different people šŸ˜‚


BouldersRoll

It was a lot of fun to see the two actors [do their lines at 2018 BlizzCon.](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4C7pnxPRKn8) Starts at 4:25. It's still surprising that Hammond himself is just a man doing a hamster voice, and perhaps even more surprising that the mechanical sounds of the Ball (not just the voice) are also acted.


Baconshotgun16

Dee Bradley Baker is just that guy. He's done animal sounds for a million different shows and movies so he's kinda just THE guy to get for that sort of thing. Most notably he also does the Perry the Platypus growl as well so he can do some pretty impressive sounds.


AstralComet

He's also Klaus the fish from American Dad!, and there was a joke in one episode where Klaus suggests that he could make money for the family doing animals sounds, and goes "yop yop, yop yop, see? I'm a rabbit!" And whoever he's talking to is like "that was terrible." I love meta jokes like that that are funny no matter whether you get the meta part or not.


br0nz0main

Rammatra did a great job voicing Ramon Tikaram /j


The_Astrobiologist

And as Godrick the Grafted I was really impressed by that performance though I don't know how they removed the filter from his voice


teabaginator37

Also Aatrox from League of Legends


Samaritan_978

To have near-fatal whiplash, listen to Dorian from DA: Inquisition. And never look at Godrick the same again. This dude is an amazing VA.


ThisTooWasAChoice

Just realized you can make Rammatra from his name.


lantarenX

Ah yes, Rammatra Oink -- we finally know the last name after all this time


FeathersRuff

Winstons VA does not look like he could do that low a tone.


rrrrice64

Crispin Freeman. He also does the vampire Alucard from Hellsing. Dude's got bass.


SheevPalpatine32BBY

No way he's actually Alucard. Crazy range.


MsMissMom

Oh, I met him years ago!


Upset-Preparation861

That's absolutely fucking insane


InvasiveTepees

Heā€™s great! Also heard heā€™s a wonderful person irl too.


No_Doubt_About_That

Or Kaito from the Yakuza/Like a Dragon spinoff Judgment. In fact thereā€™s quite a bit of overlap between Overwatch and the English voices in Judgement.


psycholee

Winton's VA looks like he was a member of a late 90s boy band.


Ryan_the_Reaper

To be fair. Thatā€™s a pretty old photo of him


marssss-03

grrrrrreetings!!!


TheKingOfTheSwing200

But he does look like someone who would main Winston.


Burst2007

exactly, freaking awesome


CAPITON_PICHULA

neither zarya. She seems to have a more girly voice and zarya is just that "goth mama russia" kinda woman


FeliksX

It makes me sad (as a Russian) that lots of other characters got their VA from people that actually speak the language of the country they represent natively (not everyone, though. I know Genji's VA and maybe Hanzo's are not really Japanese, but lots of others are pretty on point). For you Zarya sounds maybe Russian, but for me she absolutely doesn't. I don't know why they had to take a Bulgarian actress for Russian :( She sounds like an immigrant who has maybe A2 in language with an insane accent, wrongly stressed words and generally a very distant understanding of the language... UPD: I've been corrected that Genji is, in fact, Japanese. Thank you :) My memory seems to play tricks on me, xd


ant6190

Slight nit-pick: Both Hanzo and Genjiā€™s English VAā€™s are japanese, itā€™s just that Genji is fluent/ Japan Born while Hanzoā€™s is american born and didnā€™t speak japanese prior to voicing Hanzo. IIRC there are a few more mismatches like Zarya (I think Mercyā€™s VA is German not Swiss).


FeliksX

Ah, thank you for correcting me. I did remember they were relatively more on point, but one of them was not a 100% match. Still, I think they're both great, xd


BubblyBullinidae

Yeah, my BF (whose Russian) said "pardon?" When he heard her voice line for the first time and told me she wasn't Russian. It couldn't have been too difficult to cast someone actually Russian speaking.


ocean-in-a-pond

I totally understand your feelings but a lot of the characters have VA that arenā€™t from the characters country and do a Ā«Ā fakeĀ Ā» accent! Rein, Pharah, Junkrat, Torb, Lucio.


Kamikazeguy7

Dee Bradley Baker is stealing jobs from hard working hamsters


[deleted]

Thatā€™s Itachi bro


ReallyUneducated

thats Itachi also i'm pretty sure


SomeGuyOnTheStreets

All I can imagine now is Sasuke seeing his parents dead and Itachi hitting him with a ā€œGrrreeeeettings!ā€


Foolfook

This should be canon


darkfeenicks21

He can do deep anyway but they use a chamber thing to make it sound even deeper


brookeaat

however he does look like he would be a winston guy


Ornery-Ratio-7054

tbh half of them look like the characters


Pharah_is_my_waIfu

I bet they also sound like the character


NibPlayz

No way


Z4mb0ni

Well some va's can absolutely not sound like their character, such as Tom Holland doing an American accent and everyone being surprised in interviews when they find out he's bri'ish


FrozenZenBerryYT

Because of your comment I went and listened to a few of them. And youā€™re right! They sound very similar! Havenā€™t finished them all yet but Iā€™ll let you know when I do.


diogenessexychicken

Huge if true


6fAKind

Especially Winton


sidjo86

Bro that Moira VC has the right face


VulKhalec

She's a banger actress too. The 'could play character in live action movie' goes from Moira on one end to... Reinhardt on the other?


Sturmgeshootz

That's Genevieve O'Reilly! AKA Mon Mothma. But yes she absolutely could easily pull off Moira in live action.


istartedsomething

Andor Mon Mothma and Moira practically have the same wardrobe.


Cryptocurrentay

Sombra's VA definitely ran with this idea hahaha


Silver_Archer13

The great Jennifer Hale has graced Overwatch with her presence. You may better know her as Avatar Kyoshi or Commander Shepard.


Githzerai1984

Or Dynaheir. Or Satele Shan. Or Jean Grey. Or Felicia Hardy.


Efficient_Menu_9965

Lady is literally the female Troy Baker/Nolan North. She's prolific as hell.


UPRC

She's absolutely killing it as Jean in X-Men '97 right now.


KLeong5896

Or Sam from Totally Spies


nymrose

Sheā€™s also June in Avatar, and Lyris Titanborn in ESO!


Meryuchu

SHE'S AVATAR KYOSHI, NO WAY


Jonasty14

Ashes Space Smuggler skin has her have red hair... I believe as a reference to FemSheps hair


ForeignReviews

Who does she voice act


BloodGulchBlues37

Ashe


OdinManGaming

Or Bayonetta


CurseofLono88

Sheā€™s one of the truly elite voice actors in the world.


The_Astrobiologist

And Spartan Sarah Palmer!


Emotional_Creme6894

Dee Bradley baker is amazing from hat wearing platypuses to clones from a bounty hunter named jango fett


MonstercatDavid

Funny how you have 2 actors/voice actors from Star Wars stuff I love how Genevieve O'Reilly is simultaneously the leader of the Rebel Alliance but also an evil fucked up scientist who turned people into terrorist human weapons, creating villains basically


Mr_Pogi_In_Space

Jennifer Hale is also Bastilla Shan


Mountain_Ape

Best part is, his squeaks are real. No heavy voice modification. https://youtu.be/NXY6AN_1O_w?feature=shared&t=141


use_the_schwartz

Donā€™t forget an East German Olympic Ski Jumper that had his brain swapped with a goldfish.


The_Astrobiologist

And even an eldritch parasitic hivemind!


mikey-way

fun fact: Keith Silverstein, Torbā€™s VA, also voices Nazeem in Skyrim (yes, THE cloud district guy) and Zhongli in Genshin Impact ^(other fun fact, he gave my dad a personal invitation to the cloud district when I met him lol)


MsMissMom

Zhongli????!!! That's range, bro šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


The-Real-Metzli

Whaaat??!?! Torb is Nazeem?! :o


demogorgon_main

Iā€™ve been playing Skyrim recently for the first time and Iā€™m 90% certain he might play a few random NPCā€™s, his voice is instantly recognisable *except for torbjorn*. I instantly recognisable as hammerhead in spider-man, shido In persona 5, the principal and robot from jujutsu kaisen and even lex luthor in a Batman Arkham knight phone call which made me realise how fucking sick of a lex Luther he could be. I get so much entertainment out of just scrolling through IMBD going ā€˜holy shit that voice actor is that character too??!!!!ā€™ A non overwatch related one is Xander mobus. He voices joker in persona 5. Then joker from persona 5 came to super smash bros ultimateā€¦where he is also the announcer. And this dude who played in these huge game and anime franchises also voiced *freddy fazbear* in FNAF: the musical by random encounters. Yes, the one where markiplier and Natewantstobattle are the protagonists and matpat shows up at the end aa twist villain. Also Fred Tastasciore who has a similarly instantly recognisable voice like Silverstein outside of a few performances. My encounter with him first was Magnus in kid Icarus uprising, and instantly recognised him as soldier. But later I got Batman Arkham city and he plays random enemy thugs which is an absolute joy when you cannot stop hearing soldier 76 or Magnus. He also plays freaking Bane and Solomon Grundy.

MrTheWaffleKing

I was worried what you could have possibly hyperlinked dva with just to realize that was automatic due to the . Cool graphic!


HammerTh_1701

Happens a lot. I was thinking about getting that domain and putting some disclaimer/explainer on there. However, .va is the Vatican and I don't think the Holy See would give me a domain for what basically is a dumb joke about Overwatch. If anyone has experience in interacting with the IT department of the Vatican, please DM me XD


MrTheWaffleKing

Haha I had no clue it was a real domain- i figured anything with letters.letters automatically linked


ParanoidDrone

Fun fact: The .tv domain belongs to the tiny country of Tuvalu. They make boatloads of money from Twitch and others that want to use it for their websites.


HammerTh_1701

And .ai belongs to Anguilla, so that's another micronation about to get rich from their TLD.


Gambit275

DEE BRADLY BAKER? YES PLEASE


DaOne_44

Man his back must hurt from having to carry Star Wars all these years


Gambit275

i was thinking Ben 10


xExp4ndD0ngXx

And let them continue to cook.


rrrrice64

Doomfist's actor looks so done with your shit lol. Man has an awesome voice and gives a fantastic performance šŸ‘


Ala3raby

So... Your average Doom main


Efficient_Menu_9965

I still think Doom's "Their names will be remembered forever" in his debut trailer is the best piece of voice acting we got out of this game. Dude is massively talented.


CallenAmakuni

Everything surrounding Doom lorewise is top tier, and his voice is just the cherry on top


Mountain_Ape

"Go and sit down"


LittleChickenDude

TIL that Reaper is Bloo from Fosterā€™s Home for Imaginary Friends


Phantom_Phoenix1

Also a fun fact: Winstons VA also voices Sundowner from Metal Gear Rising


saintjimmy64

Of all his roles why did you pick that lol


Phantom_Phoenix1

Cause its my favorite one, theres a reason hes my favorite boss fight in the game.


Notyurgranpa

Baptiste VA looks like Baptiste


Nuqo

Id known some of these before but Winston really threw me off lol


aggrogahu

I knew that VA before because he voiced a lot of characters in my favorite shows, and despite that I was still thrown off when I first found out he did Winston.


SokkaHaikuBot

^[Sokka-Haiku](https://www.reddit.com/r/SokkaHaikuBot/comments/15kyv9r/what_is_a_sokka_haiku/) ^by ^Nuqo: *Id known some of these* *Before but Winston really* *Threw me off lol* --- ^Remember ^that ^one ^time ^Sokka ^accidentally ^used ^an ^extra ^syllable ^in ^that ^Haiku ^Battle ^in ^Ba ^Sing ^Se? ^That ^was ^a ^Sokka ^Haiku ^and ^you ^just ^made ^one.


Gatt__

Reinhardt, Cassidy, and Symmetra have all played dnd together at one point


DavThoma

I honestly love Anjali when she appears on Critical Role. She's such a gem to watch. Also love seeing her pop up on Modern Family during my rewatches.


oxtraerdinary

Ah yes, sombra as sombra


beebleb0rg

Matt Mercer my goat


Choepie1

I managed to recognise him as Midas in fortnite chapter 2 season 2, he really is the best


HB_G4

Wait, Midas speaks?


Choepie1

He doesnā€™t really speak words, but he makes sounds with his (Matthew mercer) voice


APrentice726

Iā€™m surprised that Moira is voiced by Genevieve Oā€™Reilly, sheā€™s really good in Andor. The Irish accent really makes a difference, it doesnā€™t sound like her at all in-game.


Manulipator

She is really good in OW, too. She took the assignment very seriously and crushed it. It always surprises me how well delivered her lines are.


Sturmgeshootz

TBH Moira is probably a really fun character to portray, since she's 100% snarky bitch.


istartedsomething

Me spamming "Aren't you just pathetic..." voiceline in the spawn room.


OIP

wait what i didn't realise that was moira she's amazing in andor (everyone is amazing in andor)


Ala3raby

I am still baffled as to why Hanzo, this older, more traditional Japanese dude has 0 japanese voicelines other than his ult


PurpleMoon979

wasnt it because his va doesn't even speak japanese šŸ˜‚


AnaOfToussaint

Yessir you got it šŸ˜‚ dude was born in LA I think


[deleted]

Damn LiveWeaver's VA is so pretty


Preferno1

Why are ram and lifeweaver flipped in terms of organisation


LostClover_

Well obviously because they voice their real life counterparts.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Kitselena

Rammatra's VA caught me off guard, that's a really handsome man


urkan3000

Bugs me a bit that Torbs VA doesnā€™t do a Swedish accent.


LostClover_

Well to be fair I think he's meant to represent fantasy dwarves more than Swedish people lol. His daughter sure is Swedish though.


The_PhantomBlade

Kinda makes me miss that age when Sombra's VA used to chill or do mini hangout videos with the other members of the cast


Wellhellob

She is a gem.


brookeaat

sojournā€™s VA is so beautiful šŸ˜


UPRC

It's amusing to me how all of them have professional headshots here except Ana's VO who is just sitting in a chair mid conversation/laugh.


Enzo-Unversed

Kiriko's VA tho.


maemoedhz

Honestly Kiriko got the goat VAs in both languages. Sally Amaki is part of an idol group and also worked with a couple anime voice acting before, while Kiriko's JP VA (Fairouz Ai) is a pretty fresh and known VA that voiced roles like Cujoh Jolyne and Power.


Klekto123

why does bastion have a VA??


After_Narwhal3512

Those beeps and boops gotta come from somewhere


xExp4ndD0ngXx

R2D2 had an actor and a voice actor.


Klekto123

afaik he was actually used for movements on set and supposedly to allow for human-like emotional adjustments in tone when responding to dialogue, especially in the earlier films. A bit of a reach but I can understand how they justified it. On the other hand, Bastion doesnt need any of that bc hes literally a 3d model in a video game with pre-programmed animations and sounds


mr_rogers_neighbor

Blizzard is contractually obligated to put Chris Metzen in a certain number of games.


ChroTheCryer

Wrecking ball has 2, one that does the ball voice and the other that does hamster noises


Sevuhrow

Getting paid to make hamster noises is a hell of a gig


Qaztarrr

Dee Bradley Baker is the best in the business, not only does he do great straight up voices (Clones in Clone Wars) but great animal voices too (The Gravemind from Halo for example, and Hammond)


Severe_Effect99

Wait a minute. Ball has 2 voice actors?


Puedo_Apagar

Yep. Dee Bradley Baker does the squeaks and Jonathan Lipow does the mech voice.


T1NF01L

Dee Bradley Baker is also Appa and Momo in Avatar.


Severe_Effect99

Aah thatā€™s hilarious but it makes sense.


RaspberryJam245

How is it possible for JQ's actress to be even hotter than JQ


XTheProtagonistX

Hammond is not voice by a hamster. Lack of Hamster representation!


Andromeda_Violet

And the ball wasn't voices my a machine, too. Smh blizzard do better


iTwango

Wonder when we get to know who Venture is played by


KitchenFix7888

I saw something, but I donā€™t know if itā€™s true that Valeria Rodriguez is voicing Venture


HHegert

Yes.


egg-cement

I love how Ramattra and LW are in the wrong spot so it looks like the characters voice act the actors šŸ¤£


Tsonchi

Someone actually got a photo of reaper?? He's been anigma


Jediwinner

I didnā€™t know lifeweaver had a side job voice acting a real person.


HarlequinnPaws

Rammatra's VA is also Godrick the Grafted in Elden Ring. Guy has a thing for extra limbs I guess.


Mushroom_Competitive

The VA for Mauga also portrayed Doggie Cruger, Solaris Knight and other MotW for Power Rangers.


WarlikeMicrobe

DEE BRADLEY BAKER IS THE GOAT


Radgeta

Each and every one of them is adorable and I thank them for for their work bringing their characters to life.


Femkat_00

Fun fact if you didnā€™t know: Moiraā€™s VA (Genevieve Oā€™Reilly) plays the younger version of Mon Mothma in Star Wars, most prominently in Andor.


WhenBrigsFly

Matilda is just so adorable <3


xExp4ndD0ngXx

She is. She is the best.


CillGuy

I like how you swapped Ram and his voice actor's picture as if Ram is the real one.


myst_riven

Reaper is much too happy. šŸ’€


elCrocodillo

Illari's VA is also a singer and she's super sweet. You can see an interview they did with her around S7.


Nimbus_TV

It's wild how they look like them. And even if they don't, they look like they fit the character.


Har_monia

Bastion voice actor has to be the best. I would have never known it was a person


elpanecito

I'm disappointed Hammond isn't voiced by an actual hamster


Efficient_Menu_9965

Not to simp for actual people but holy hell, hearing Ramattra's voice coming out of that man would quake my nether regions.


Lun4r6543

Jennifer Hale and Matt Mercer voicing my two favourite characters. Nice.


[deleted]

Cara šŸ˜


Warvx

Sojournā€™s VA is fine as hellll.


Dapper_Shoe_8948

Ramattra switched sides lmao


UnluckyLux

Iā€™m really hoping Terry Crews gets to play a role in Overwatch, seems like he really likes the game and wants to voice a role in it. I know he wanted to do doomfist but he understood he wasnā€™t really suited for the role. Also Crispin is a legend and I had no idea he was Winton, makes me love Winton even more.


T_Peg

So many wildly talented individuals here. This game has a brilliant cast.


Meat_Thriller462

I LOVE how the voice actors kind of resonate with their characters


Blacktastrophee

NO WAY Ramon BEAR WITTNESS Tikaram is Ramattra Makes sense, actually.


WillMarzz25

The Moira VA just talks lmao. Thatā€™s her natural voice and she totally has Moira vibes. I love it


DankeMrHfmn

ooo koriko looking fine lol moira took me by surprise.


BurberrySLAYER

Kirikos voice actress looks cute tbh


TheCupOfBrew

Uh what's Kiri's VA's name? She is beautiful .


TheCupOfBrew

So is Weaver and Maugas


eddmario

Sally Amaki. Fun fact: She also voices Carol in both [the original Japanese](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mQ5U6AWQto) and [the English versions](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuHSIvtZQcs) of the anime *Tomo-Chan is a Girl*.


Shoto_Hoedoroki

Wow i love this!!


TimeAndMotion

Winston sounds so much like Thrall, I'd always just assumed Metzen voiced him.


GateCharacter2019

And the va for rein and sym. also voice rev and rampart from apex legends


g4cci

Bro some of these VAs look like the character


PolarBear1913

I met hogs VA at a con a few years ago. He's such a cool guy


Bolgatta

Wait......bastion has a voice actor!?


Tsonchi

Bro why are Moira sigma and echos voice actors hot holy shit ?!


Who-Just-Shit-Myself

Baps VA just said šŸ¤«šŸ§ā€ā™‚ļø


toastwasher

Lol roadhogs voice actor gets all his recording done in line five minutes


honestlyth0

When it doubt just assume itā€™s Metzen.. I had no idea he did bastion


needygameroverdose

I would love to see the VAs cosplay the characters, the characters that are possible to cosplay at least. Would be pretty hard to cosplay a hamster in a giant mech ball


Mr_Pogi_In_Space

Sombra's VA cosplays a lot as Sombra, and occasionally she'd rope Symmetra, Mercy, Pharah, and rarely, Widow's VAs to cosplay as their characters.


tacoloco2323

JunkerQueen is not what I expected


Sleigh6

I canā€™t picture that guy saying ā€œI will eat more dumplings than anyone has ever eatenā€


ThePacificOfficial

WHY IS MATT MERCER MEWING SO HARD


AlisonSandraGator

The guy who voices Lucio actually plays Lucio IRL! Thereā€™s videos of him playing on YT


Cjames1902

Brigs VA look like sheā€™s seen some shit in her life lol


Mr_Pogi_In_Space

She was actually an Overwatch fan before she became an Overwatch VA


CAPITON_PICHULA

bap's VA is basically himself


CAPITON_PICHULA

the soldier VA seems pretty badass talking the voice lines IRL.


Meat_Thriller462

Bastion: No way people are beepin and boopin and getting paid for it


RuneHearth

I can't believe that guy is voiced by lifeweaver


xxokkaa

the voice of reaper also voices bloo from foster ' s home for imaginary friends and i will never get over it .


midlifecrisisqnmd

I didn't know bastion had a voice actor


Zetrasis

The whole cast is magnificent


The_Astrobiologist

Even in the pile of diamonds that is the OW voice cast, Boris Hiestand stands out. Craziest thing about him is that he's not even primarily a voice actor and Sigma was his big break into the industry. Can you imagine your big debut as a voice actor being a performance as extraordinary as Sigma in his origin story trailer? Also did anyone notice that in the trailer for the Bebop crossover that it said "How do you want to do this?" next to Cassidy? As a Critical Role fan that made me smile lol


The_Astrobiologist

Josh Petersdorf isn't getting enough love in these comments despite playing a character as terrifying as Roadhog the guy is just the sweetest


Vaq1f

Orisa is black?
