_______________________________________________________________________

Dear organizers of StarCraft II tournaments,



I had the chance to talk to the voice actors James Harper, Robert Clotworthy and Neil Kaplan, famous for their portrayal of Arcturus Mengsk, James Raynor and Tychus J. Findlay respectively in the StarCraft II campaign. All of them are very interested about getting involved with the community.



I know for a fact that they would be interested in attending some of the major StarCraft II events in their professional capacity. I would like to leave you with the thought that this is a golden opportunity to bring the fans closer together with the personalities that first enraptured them to the game.



I think it would be a delight to the audience to hear either announcements, player names, or the occasional quote delivered by the actual characters that have helped to make StarCraft II what it is.



I think it is a fortunate situation that the voice actors are so interested in becoming a part of this growing community. Let's get them on board.



Disclaimer:

I am not affiliated with any of the voice actors , I am simply a fan with an idea!



Sincerely,



Jojo _______________________________________________________________________

Or even just for hype/advertising tournament trailers, that would add a level of quality easily.



Maybe if IGN actually had a decent voice artist reading the monologue that plays in between games during their [IPL] TAC2 tourney I wouldn't cringe every time and mute the stream.



You could add some contact info to various tournament organisers in the OP to make it easy for us to email or tweet them about it Not sure what else to post apart from; of course tournaments should get some quality voice artists to help hype the audience, instead of the usual dodgy method of the commentators asking for applause every game for example.Or even just for hype/advertising tournament trailers, that would add a level of quality easily.Maybe if IGN actually had a decent voice artist reading the monologue that plays in between games during their [IPL] TAC2 tourney I wouldn't cringe every time and mute the stream.You could add some contact info to various tournament organisers in the OP to make it easy for us to email or tweet them about it

Lavit2099 Profile Joined November 2011 United States 370 Posts #16 I'd prefer something along the lines of conscripting Robert Clotworthy (Jim Raynor), Tricia Helfer (Sarah Kerrigan) and Fred Tatasciore (Zertaul) do the voices, a-la GSL style. But I'm a big dreamer like that. Sort of like what they did last year when each race had their own voice when announcing. The new uniform voices for everyone is kinda boring.

Yeah, when GSL had different voices for each race. That would add so much hype! Yeah, when GSL had different voices for each race.
