KMC Award for Best Voice Talent in a Action Game

There are so many talents to choose from, but to me, personally, if all boils down to three people: David Hayter (Solid Snake/Big Boss), TC Carson (Kratos), and D.C. Douglas (Albert Wesker). Who has the best voice (English or Japanese)?

General Kaliero F = ma, beeyotches.

Oh boy, tough one. Roger Craig Smith for his work as Ezio (and Nolan North for Desmond, though less great). Jennifer Hale as femShep. Rob Wiethoff as John Marsten. Matthew Porretta as Alan Wake.

Speaking of Smith and Hale, he did Chris Redfield in RE5, and she did Naomi Hunter in MGS 1, Twin Snakes and 4.

Oh yeah, Smith did Chris too. Been ages since I played RE5. Hale shines in just about every role she plays.

Who did Leon Kennedy in RE4?

I find it very hard to distinguish the voice actor from the characters themselves, I love Nathan Drake, but that doesn't necesarily make Nolan the best one, so it's pretty hard to choose.

Phanteros the Shade knight

Nolan North
Roger Craig Smith
Yuri
Rob Wiethoff

Honorably mentions:

Rip Torn: Hephaestus(GOW3) and Zeus(Disney's Hercules)

MARK MEER GOD OF THE VOICE ACTORS FOR HIS PORTRAYAL OF CAPTAIN SHEPARD.

Or Armin Shimerman for Andrew Ryan. 😐

Whoever did the voice work for Dante in Dante's Inferno. That guy had probably the best battle cries I heard in an action game.

I really like Quinton Flynn. but not the most for raiden, i really like his performance as Keal'thas Sunstrider. and then there is Phil LaMarr, i know i seem bias for this, since he is another voice actor for mgs (as vamp) but im pretty critical of this sort of thing, and he did an excellent job as vamp.

Phil LaMarr is awesome.

RE: Blaxican #gottem

he is awesome it is true. but is that talent? he doesn't really change much, his voice is already awesome...which i guess IS talent. but Phil LaMarr....just awesome, i wish i could find this video, but he talked about when he was trying out for vamp, and about how he had to transition to that voice....i about crapped my pants listening to it
