The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

Incomplete [ edit ]

I think this page doesnt go far enough to describe all of the voice actors and the specific characters whom they voice. A good starting point for inclusion of that information would be the imdb page for Oblivion.

I will let someone else take care of adding that information to this page. Anytime I modify a page directly, some editor finds a reason to tear down my mod..169.145.3.12 13:46, 4 June 2008 (EDT)

This page was just started (June 2008) - a lot of people have helped by adding links and such. If you have sonething to add and don't want to edit the page directly, just post it here and I'll be glad to add it for you. Wpfossil 16:39, 4 June 2008 (EDT)

Thanks, I added a lot of your info after verifying a couple of items. Wpfossil 11:58, 5 June 2008 (EDT)

I don't understand why you left out Catherine Flye and Gayle Jessup. While they don't have specific characters or races mentioned that they performed, they were voice actors on Oblivion and should be included. Also not sure what you needed to verify beyond what I gave you. Imdb is a reliable source for this information.. And obviously you didnt verify either of the two names I just mentioned because if you google them, plenty of links to Oblivion come up. I don't mean to sound harsh, just trying to understand your approach to editing this page.169.145.3.12 13:45, 5 June 2008 (EDT)

I think it's a little redundant to say, for example, that Michael Mack did "Redguard Males, Baurus, and Owyn", considering that Baurus and Owyn ARE both Redguard males, so just saying "Redguard Males" would be pretty much sufficient. Likewise for Wes Johnson and Ralph Cosham, who did ALL the Imperial and Breton males (with the exception of some starring roles). And Craig Sechler did both Bosmer and Dunmer males (and possibly Altmer as well, not sure on that), not just the Adoring Fan (whose voice is no different from any other Bosmer male). Do we really need to list every character they did if they did EVERY character of a given race/gender? --TheRealLurlock Talk 12:47, 5 June 2008 (EDT)

Feel free to delete any redundancies - although some of the characters are included because the voice actor mentioned it in an interview. I very much agree that the Adoring Fan sounds no different than any other voice that Craig did - but maybe he wants us to be his adoring fans! ;) Wpfossil 23:29, 6 June 2008 (EDT)

Some of my original work looked good for IE6 but not for IE7. Funny how the punctuation can move around depending on what version is used. Minor stuff, but I was determined to figure out what the edits were all about. I get it now. Thanks for the fixes, guys. Wpfossil 23:29, 6 June 2008 (EDT)

Female elf voices [ edit ]

Anybody know who voices the female elves? I tried to figure out the various voice actors a while back and this one was conspicuous by her apparent absence. I wondered if it might be Linda Kenyon (or Canyon) albeit uncredited in Oblivion, by a process of elimination that I forget now; but something more concrete than what's little more than a hunch might be in order before adding her to the list.

Sigh, it'd be nice if they'd just done a comprehensive list of who does what. And then there's the other mostly undocumented odds 'n' sods like the various Daedric deities...

Wes Johnson as Sheogorath? [ edit ]

it would be good to be more spacific as to WHICH Sheogorath voice he provided in my openion. weather it be the SI Sheogorath or the old Shrine Sheogorath Tnu 12:48, 13 October 2008 (EDT)

I don't know who voiced Sheogorath originally, it could still have been Wes Johnson. But as the entire Shrine dialogue is replaced with SI, and this page links to his Shivering Isles page, I don't think we need to emphasize it any further. --Timenn talk

Gayle Jessup - Redguard females? I think this proves it. [ edit ]

Would it be safe to assume that Gayle Jessup is responsible for the female Redguard voices? She worked in both Morrowind and Redguard as well, and while it doesn't specify what voices she played in MW or OB, the IMDB page for her gives two credits for Redguard, Iszara and Siona. I know for sure that at least Iszara is definitely a Redguard, and I'd guess that Siona is as well. Never having played Redguard, I don't know, but A.) It sounds like a Redguard name, and B.) The game is called Redguard for a reason, and the majority of the characters are Redguards, so it's highly likely. Also, a quick Google search turned up her home page. (And yes it's the same woman - the resume doesn't mention the ES games, but it does mention The Jackal, which is also listed on IMDB.) As you can see, she is an African American woman who lives in Richmond, VA, (not far from Bethesda, MD). There's even a demo-reel on there, and the voice sounds like a match to me. Good enough to call proof? Looks like the only voices we're still missing is the female Altmer/Bosmer/Dunmer, and some or all of those might be the same person. --TheRealLurlock Talk 23:19, 9 November 2008 (EST)

I called it based on the above evidence. For the record, we're also still missing the voice(s) for the male Nords and Orcs. Since none of the remaining names are uncredited, it's possible we're missing some actors, or that some of the ones we already have listed performed other roles for which we have not credited them. Failing that, they may have been done in-house rather than by hired voice actors, but unless somebody can come up with some evidence one way or another, there's not much we can do but speculate. --TheRealLurlock Talk 11:57, 22 November 2008 (EST)

Consistent Guidelines [ edit ]

Based on the nearly daily edits to Wes Johnson's entry on this article, it seems clear that we need to come up with some consistent guidelines for which roles get explicitly listed on the article and which ones don't. Although guidelines probably won't do anything to limit the number of anonymous edits to the page (and I don't even think we want to post the guidelines on the article itself), hopefully having a common standard used by all of the site's patrollers will prevent us from edit warring amongst ourselves.

Personally, I preferred this entry for Johnson:

Imperial males and Dremora in the original game; Pelinal Whitestrake, the Prophet, and Sheogorath from plug-ins)

Deleting the Prophet from the entry does not make sense to me. The Prophet is not covered by the first section, which is Imperial males in the original game. If we're going to delete Imperial males who are added by plug-ins, then we should also delete Pelinal Whitestrake, whose race is officially Imperial male. I think there is good reason to separate original characters from plug-in characters; in particular, it is not self-evident that Bethesda would have brought the same people back to the studio for a second recording session (or that all of the plug-in dialogue was recorded at the same time as the original game). Finally, with his extensive, unique, and informative dialogue, the Prophet is at least as important dialogue-wise as Pelinal Whitestrake.

Another option would be to just go ahead and list every Oblivion role that has been explicitly listed in the actor's credits. Yes, the list would be longer than the current list. But it would not be infinite: there are only a handful of other roles listed on Johnson's wikipedia and imdb pages. If Bethesda thought that the role was sufficiently important to give Johnson separate credit for the part, why should we exclude it from our article? Plus, adding those roles would limit the number of new additions made by anonymous IPs (or, an alternative way of looking at it: if that many readers think that the information belongs on the article, who are we to insist that it doesn't?).

Any feedback? --NepheleTalk 13:34, 1 December 2008 (EST)

Problem is, if we include The Prophet, we'd also have to include every other Imperial male added by an expansion, and likewise for all the other race/gender combos. I think it's safe to say that if he did all the Imperial males in the original game, he probably did all the Imperial males in the expansions as well, if for no other reason than having consistancy between the games. Pelinal Whitestrake and Sheogorath are special cases, because they don't belong to any of the 10 playable races, so somebody looking at Pelinal might think "Okay, so he's an Ayleid, who did those voices?" The other excpetions that are listed separately are people who very specifically are NOT voiced by the same actor as all other members of the same race/gender, e.g. Uriel Septim and Martin. (And Lynda Carter, who is basically included only because she's a well known actress and happens to be married to the CEO of Bethesda.) Maybe if we removed the "from the original game" and "from plug-ins" phrases from Wes Johnson's line, it would make it more clear that he voiced all Imperial males, whether from the original game or the expansions, because the same is true of all the other generic voice actors, so there's no need to make an exception for him. (It is worth noting, incidentally, that they apparently weren't able to get some of the actors back to do Shivering Isles, which is why, for example, there are no female Orcs or Nords anywhere in the Shivering Isles.) --TheRealLurlock Talk 18:21, 1 December 2008 (EST)

Oh, sorry, my mistake - Pelinal is an Imperial? (I haven't played KotN.) In that case, I'd say remove him as well. Sheogorath would then be the only one who's not of any standard race. --TheRealLurlock Talk 18:23, 1 December 2008 (EST)

I think including Pelinal and the Prophet makes sense, since they're such different voices and important characters. On that basis it might be worth including Lucien Lachance too. The question we have to address is: why would somebody look at this page? The answer as far as I can see is that they're hearing something out of the ordinary and want information. Once they've got the idea that Wes Johnson voiced all imperial males they won't look that one up again, but upon hearing Lucien speak they might be interested again since his voice sounds so different; also it's not immediately obvious that he's an Imperial from his name. So how about this line: Imperial males and Dremora, including special cases such as Lucien Lachance, The Gray Fox and the Prophet. He also voiced Pelinal Whitestrake and Sheogorath. — Unsigned comment by Rpeh (talk • contribs) 3 December 2008

Matt Grandstaff at Bethesda provided me with the following details:

Hilco Here ya go: Nord males: Jonathan Bryce Elf females: Linda Kenyon

It seems the chapter's now finally closed. I've updated the article. --HilcoH 16:24, 16 January 2009 (EST)

Does Jonathan Bryce voice the male Orcs as well? It sounds the same voice, but no actor is listed. ComaDivine 01:14, 25 March 2009 (EDT)

I doubt it's likely Bethesda found someone else with the exact same voice as Jonathan Bryce. Seems safe to say he is indeed the man behind the Orcs, too. HilcoH 23:12, 1 April 2009 (EDT)

Just to piggyback onto the end of this, if any confirmation's still needed for Catherine Flye, Ashley Cheng's blog (BSG's production director) says this: "We had to use Philia Studios to record Catherine Flye, the Imperial Female, as she was working in the UK at the time." Since it's evident that the same voice actor also does the Bretons, I think we can remove that question-mark too. :) --Cbh 02:44, 16 May 2009 (EDT)

Foreign language [ edit ]

Does anyone know if other version of Oblivion contains languages other than English? Such as the PAL release of Spanish version of Oblivion has Spanish voice? Or is it just English voice with Spanish text? 173.80.36.220 03:15, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Mya Starling from "Everything or Nothing"? [ edit ]

The voice actress who does Mya Starling in "Everything or Nothing" (a James Bond game released in 2004) sounds exactly like the female Redguards from Oblivion. If anyone has this game, play the level in New Orleans where you have to meet her. Listen to her talk to Bond on the phone in the park. Anyways,I don't know how to insert a link to the page, but look up Mya (singer) on Wikipedia and look up interviews with Mya in YouTube. You can hear that female-Redguard-ish sound in her voice. I know it's a little far-fetched, but the voices have such a significant similarity that I think it should be investigated... — Unsigned comment by 76.20.236.14 (talk) at 13:36 on 25 September 2010

Mya Starling is voiced by Mya (yes, really). The female Redguard in Oblivion are voiced by Gayle Jessup. Robin Hood ↝ talk

Voices of gods [ edit ]

I've noticed that there are no mention of the various gods (or otherwordly beings) that you can hear talk through the shrines. I've only heard one (Clavicus Vile's hound who's definitely voiced by Craig Scheler) and I was wondering if there was others. POLE7645 22:34, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Betsy Ames and Emil Pagliarulo. [ edit ]

I think it's pretty obvious that they were the voice actors of the female and male Dark Seducers, respectively. Seriously, who/what else in the Shivering Isles could there be to voice that isn't already credited? Also, I'm pretty sure that Craig Sechler did the voice of the male Golden Saints. Perhaps this article should be edited accordingly. Bauglir100 05:17, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

I've made the following changes myself, as well as a few minor edits. If anyone objects to this, please say so. Bauglir100 01:48, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

I added these two in the page (due to them being in the credits), but I wasn't sure because I didn't heard the male Dark Seducers and male Golden Saints (are you sure that the male Dark Seducer (wherever he can be) sounds different than everyone in the game?). I also wonder who voices Jyggalag. Is it Jeff Baker, Emil Pagliarulo (the two new voice actors of the expansion), or just Wes Johnson down-pitched? POLE7645 19:00, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

Actually, I think that Jyggalag sounded more like Jonathan Bryce, using his Malacath voice, rather than the Hircine/Molag Bal voice. Although, there is still a chance that it could have been Wes Johnson doing his voice. And yes, I am certain that the male Golden Saints are voiced by Craig Sechler. They sound just like the male Elves, except they speak in a quiet, low voice. And, although I have no idea what Emil Pagliarulo sounds like in real life, the male Dark Seducers sound absolutely nothing like anyone else present in the game. Bauglir100 20:19, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

The Enigma of Linda Kenyon [ edit ]

Linda Kenyon is an exceptional voice actor with a mysterious lack of recognition (The tenth divinity of TES). I am therefore forced to know if there is anybody out there who knows anything about Kenyon's profile or interview(s), please reply.

Wonderful voice, btw. — Unsigned comment by 2.25.189.208 (talk) at 17:05 on 22 May 2013

She's also known as Linda Canyon, and there is very little info on her anywhere. Silence is Golden Break the Silence 22:42, 22 May 2013 (GMT)

The Daedra Lords [ edit ]

Alright, I was listening to the Daedra Princes and Princess' for who did there voices. Going by my somewhat keen ear, I think I know all of them:

Vaermina: Linda Canyon {Or Kenyon. Whatever floats ya boat} Sanguine: Namira: Elizabeth Noone Boethia: Possible Jonathan Bryce? Hircine: Jonathan Bryce Molag Bal: Jonathan Bryce Malacath: Jonathan Bryce Nocturnal: Catherine Flye Sheogorath (Pre-SI): Craig Sechler Sheogorath (SI): Wes Johnson Mephala: Elizabeth Noone Hermaeus Mora: Wes Johnson Azura: Linda Canyon Peryite: Jonathan Bryce or Wes Johnson



Also, R.I.P. Ralph Cosham. You were the best Voice Actor in Oblivion bar none. --90.209.150.254 20:57, 12 October 2014 (GMT)

And I think I figured out who Jyggalag's voice actor might be. I e-mailed Wes Johnson a while back about whether or not he voiced Jyggalag in Shivering Isles, and he said that he didn't. So I'm going to assume that it was Jonathan Bryce, like I previously suspected. Would anyone mind if I updated the article accordingly? Bauglir100 (talk) 17:45, 7 December 2014 (GMT)

As long as you don't have any proof that it is Jonathan Bryce, it's just speculation and therefore should not be included in the article. -- S arthes A rai Talk 18:07, 7 December 2014 (GMT)

Okay, I admit I jumped the gun a bit by adding it to the article right away. But still, Jyggalag's voice in Shivering Isles does sound remarkably similar to Jonathan Bryce's voice for Malacath in Oblivion. And there aren't too many credited voice actors in the cast that can pull off a deep voice like that. And Wes Johnson, like I said above, already told me via e-mail that he didn't voice Jyggalag, so that rules him out. Plus, Jyggalag doesn't sound like Jeff Baker, Craig Sechler, or Michael Mack, so that means that Bryce is the most likely candidate for being the voice actor of Jyggalag. Bauglir100 (talk) 19:41, 8 December 2014 (GMT)

It doesn't matter. Unless there is confirmation that he is the voice for Jyggalag, then it is still speculation and cannot be added. •WoahBro ►talk 22:56, 8 December 2014 (GMT)

Yes, but apart from Sheogorath (for the Shivering Isles incarnation), weren't most of the Daedric Princes listed on the page added based on speculation (as in, who they sounded like)? Otherwise, why wouldn't all of them be listed on the article along with their voice actors? Wes Johnson told me himself via e-mail that it wasn't him that voiced Jyggalag, so who else could it be? Bauglir100 (talk) 03:00, 9 December 2014 (GMT) No, at some point there was an official list of oblivion voice actors for major roles. No similar list was provided for Shivering Isles. Jeancey (talk) 03:10, 9 December 2014 (GMT) Oh, so there was an official list? And yet, several Daedric Princes still aren't credited here (Boethia, Meridia, Sanguine, Peryite). Or were they, and nobody bothered to add them to the article? Still, even if we can't list it on the article, could we at least try deducing who Jyggalag's voice actor was ourselves? If you think it's someone else besides Bryce, feel free to share with us who you think it might be.Bauglir100 (talk) 05:10, 9 December 2014 (GMT) The list was never complete, it was just major roles. Several of the princes simply didn't have a large number of lines and thus weren't considered major roles. You can try and figure out who you think it is, but since we can't put it in the article, it might be better to hold that discussion on the . Jeancey (talk) 07:40, 9 December 2014 (GMT) Okay, then I'll check with the guys at the forums and see what they think. :) Bauglir100 (talk) 18:23, 9 December 2014 (GMT)

Clavicus Vile's voice [ edit ]

I took some of his audio and ran it through Audacity. I lowered the pitch of his voice by 20%, and it didn't sound anything like Craig Sechler at all. I think it was actually Todd Howard that voiced him. 24.167.247.114 00:06, 13 December 2019 (GMT)
