If you had to pick an actor to do your character's voice, who would you choose?
I think I would want David Keith for Lok.
A nice deep, scary voice. You know Goliath from Gargoyles.

Oh, no contest.
Edward would be voiced by Anthony Stewart Head (Giles from Buffy the Vampire Slayer).
The cool, calm and sophisticated voice of an old wisened english gentleman, but can sometimes become peppered with a mischievous edge.

No contest: Famke Janssen. Frankly her character in 'House on Haunted Hill', Evelyn Stockard-Price was a dead ringer for personality as well...
She's also played the russian 'bond girl' in Goldeneye, and Jean Grey in the Xmen movies.

I think Johnny Deep for Jack particularly his pirate character from Pirates of the Caribbean but a little older and maybe Kerston Dunst for Jennifer my Tiefling.

I figured that Wilem Dafoe would be a great Zanatose after watching him as the Green Goblin. Plus, the man already looks pretty lich-like, has that grating voice, and is an excellent actor. He makes the perfect megalomaniacal drow lich.

Way to go, Shemmy!
Femke's one of the things that makes one proud to be Dutch.
And, yes, her voice'd certainly fit the Marauder 
As for Elethíus. I just loved David Carradine in Kill Bill. Perhaps his voice is a bit low for an elf, but I think it'd fit.

Naw - I think he'd be fine for an elf. He manages just that right tone of dryness with wisdom, if I'm recalling right...
I guess I'm one of the few folks who just doesn't pay much attention to voices, probably because my hearing is bad enough that I'd have a hard time picking someone out by voice. I know who I'd have model for Clueless - Heath Ledger. But I'll have to go re-watch The Order to see if the voice would match.

Gee.....who would I get to do Nordom's voice? Um......Dan Castellaneta? Yeah, definitely him. I could SO see him doing Nordom's voice.

Dan´s the guy who does Nordom´s voice in Torment. Just so you know.
"Nordom is a fearsome cubic warrior!"
He's such a cute little rogue.

Heh, yeah....I guess I should've mentioned that. Sorry if you didn't get the joke, Lok. I always figure anyone who loves Planescape has at least seen Torment. Heh.....you know what they say about assumptions, right?

Well, even if you did play Torment, Nordom WAS a hidden character.

Vinne Jones (Played Sphinx in Gone in Sixty Seconds, Bullet Tooth Tony in Snatch, and Big Tom in Lock Stock and Two Smoking barrels.) Sigilian cant and inflection is very like what he has in these movies so I can see Toras sounding like that.
Those final two characters are where I got alot of the Toras personality and inflection.
The Fighting style and physical design for armor were ripped from Beserk but that is another story

Ibid's voice? Ben Stein. That guy sounds like he's been mind-blasted a time or twelve? Can you say massive Charisma damage? Perfect for a thrall being used as a verbal puppet. For those of you unaware of Ben Stein, he does the ClearEyes eyedrop commercials. Complete deadpan.
As for when Jaspar takes it upon himself to cast spells to make himself speak, hm...Leonard Nimoy as Galvatron(Transformers the Movie), and when he's laying down the law telepathically, the echoing voice of Unicron himself.. I can just see him in that role too, the ridiculously powerful figure back from the dead.
Cool scene that will never happen:
The two figures square off on Vacuum, in telepathic warfare:
Shemeska: "No one commands Shemeska the Marauder, King of the Crosstrade!"
Jaspar, seated in the Enlightener: (Booming cosmic echo)"Then it pleases me to be the first."
Hehehe again!
(P.S., please don' beat me, Shemmy! :mrgreen: )

I've never really thought about how Writer speaks, and I can't say I'm able to find a fitting match to him...Hmm.
I'm loath to ask, but...From the impression you get of him, how do you imagine him speaking?

Soft? Um.... I'm trying to think of any particular actor that - OH. Johnny Depp, Depp can achieve that particular soft/artistic tone of voice that I picture for Writer base don his description. (Perhaps something simular to I. Crane from Sleepy Hallow?)
Or maybe the guy who plays Daniel Jackson on SG1.

*blink* I just realized that it was Nimoy who did Galzatron's voice in the movie. Geez, it's been something like 15 years since I watched that as a kid. I've still got the VHS of that stuffed somewhere in a box.
And hah, like Shemmy would ever leave Sigil unless she got forcibly recalled back to Khin-Oin by whomever either has hooks into her, or has power enough to make her actually beat feet and go there.

We really do have to work out Shemmy and Jaspar's working relationship. PM me, and we'll hammer some things out. I'd love to see this become scarily effective.

No problem, though I may not PM you till tommorow since I'm fairly busy at the moment.

in my experiance you can take sean connery and put him in any role, regaurdless of all factors. He could be me, he could be you, he could be the old lady next door.... heck, he could even be Haly Joel Osmond in 'the 6th sence' ('I shee dead people....')

Re: OOC: Who does your voice?
Simon Pegg's voice-acting for Buckminster (Ice Age 3) is perfect for my githzerai ex-monk turned rogue/swashbuckler and Sigilian tout.
I could definitely see him running around Sigil with an eyepatch, regardless of wether or not he needs it. XD
It would be equally hilarious to hear him speaking in his more formal manner with that accent. Like hearing someone from Victorian London's East End discussing philosophy with some upper-class toff.....
Appearence-wise, take Errol Flynn in his thirties, add classic gith features, several earrings, flamboyant seafaring clothing of the piratical bent and long black hair.
For Azthri'Zhan'kel, my githyanki, I think Brigitte Bako (Angela from Gargoyles) is a perfect fit.....just make the voice a slight bit raspier and there you go.

Interesting and crappy they make a Dutch (Netherlandish) girl play a russian 
weird logics in the film industry..

Re: OOC: Who does your voice?
I have too many characters, which one do I narrow it down to? If I were to pick someone to just do MY voice - if I were being portrayed in some way - it would be Liam Neeson.
Not an actor, but I hear Erte as country music star Trace Adkins. A rich baritone tinged with sorrow that can project joy and happiness.
Dianne of Five Strings, the lute, however, is Maggie Smith (Mother Superior in Sister Act, Prof. McGonagall in Harry Potter); formal, professional, and totally in control.
