Does anybody have any favorites...? How do these things turn out compared to what you always imagined them sounding?
I always thought hearing the "toady dweeb" line from the talking pet would be fun, but it wasn't that funny hearing it...now the Spathi and the Shofixti are just plain hillarious (especially the voice changes on the Spathi, and the insults from the Shofixti).
Anyone else have any favorites?
And a thought too - wondered how much fun it would be to come up with a Win32 system sound theme....I know of a few clips out of the voice acting that would be great fun for that...

I like the Utwig. They're soooooooooo whiny... which is exactly the way I imagined them while their poor little Ultron was broken. The Yehat are also really good.
And oppositely... I HATE the Orz voice acting. I vastly prefer SC3's Orz... his voice was so high pitched and funny, but every once in a while the computer's built in voice would have to translate one of the *frumple* words.

I actually was a little irritated by the Orz's voice in SC3--I thought it was great, but when the "computerized voice" came in to say the words in asterisks, it wasn't the computer's voice, it was just the Orz's voice, only lower in pitch. It felt like it should have been another voice entirely--maybe ICOM's.

My favs:
Yehat: Highland Scots!!! They just sound so cool and noble.
Ur-Quan and Kohr-Ah: they both sound very ominous.
Talking Pet: I was so NOT expecting the Texan accent. But I've grown found of it.
VUX: I dunno, they just sound neat. They have a lot of emotion in thier voices.
Overall, I think all the voice acting is great. A few are annoying to listen too for more than a few lines though (Utwig, for example)

The Orz are my absolute favorite alien species in any game ever, and their voice was so... out of character. All the weird nonsense they say doesn't have the same effect as it did when there were no voices. The SC3 Orz voice was better than this, but the SC3 voice acting was pretty good all around anyway.

Voices I enjoyed:
Ilwrath
Ur-Quan
Kohr-Ah
The blue Zoq-Fot-Pik
Shofixti
Thraddash
Druuge
VUX
Voices that were adequate:
The green Zoq-Fot-Pik
Melnorme
Slylandro - Probe
Chenjesu/Chmmr
Druuge
Utwig
Yehat (I thought the accent was too thick)
Syreen - Talana (this is more an acting choice than a vocal choice)
Humans - Hayes
Voices I disliked:
Arilou
Umgah
Orz
Supox
Mycon
Pkunk
Spathi
Slylandro - Gas-Beings
Talking Pet
-----
As far as comparatively:
Better in SC3:
Arilou
Orz
Spathi
Mycon
Syreen
No preference:
Chmmr
Human
Better in SC2:
Pkunk (hard to imagine SC2 as better, but I was against sole Pkunk in this game to begin with -- that may have some factor)
VUX
Ur-Quan
Utwig

Yeah, I was initially leery of the VUX voice in SC3, but I grew to love it very quickly. Niffiwan was great, too.
