I mean... I vastly prefer the american VA to the british one, but I also love playing as an elf and... Jon Curry's voice doesn't really fit. Has anyone (succesfully) tried playing as an elf with the american voice? If so, would you mind sharing a picture of your Inquisitor? No sliders necessary

I think if you make your elf look like Ameridan, it might work

Ironically, Jon Curry was the voice actor for Zevran.

My grouchy 56-year-old dad archer, Dheassan, has the American voice: Mostly he does the aggressive responses, so I think it works for him.

Ironically, Jon Curry was the voice actor for Zevran. Fun fact: before the game was released, I'd replayed the Fort Drakon quest to see what his voice sounded like without Zevran's accent (he voiced one of the guards). I wanted him to be the voice of my Inquisitor; once the game came out, however...

I just created one of my own. Too used to Harry Hadden-Paton as a one particular Inquisitor, since said Inquisitor is kinda my main, so I tried to create an elf who fit the voice. I actually think he turned out pretty well, if lacking the salt-and-pepper charm of @dawnstone 's. I went bald to match the template male elf Inquisitor in the Keep, but I admit, Solas has kinda ruined bald elves for me (even though it's not like he was the first or anything). I like the design, but if anything drives me crazy and forces me to change it, it'll probably be that.

I've mostly played a human with the British voice. So when I started with a male elf, I thought to myself, maybe try the American voice for my elf. It didn't really work, my elf was a bit delicate and the deep American voice did nothing for him, so I had to restart and give him the British voice. But it is good we have a choice for those who want it.

I did the other way around: I played a Qunari with the British voice. It was weird at first but I got used to him, and I think that's how it will work with a Jon Curry voiced elf.

I always play my elf with Curry's voice. I guess it depends on what kind of character you decide your elf to be. For my character, it was the obvious choice! Inquisitor Nethlek

I mean, dozens of male elves had American accents in DAO, and Fenris has a super deep voice - I think the American VA sounds more realistic for a male elf than HHP's very posh voice. I can only picture that one on a human noble. .....aaand I just saw how old this thread was.

Generally speaking I think the British voices work best for Humans and elves whereas the American ones work best with Dwarves and Qunari. Based on their tones and how they talk that is. Although I'm thinking of doing a female Qunari using Alix's voice at some point because I had in mind an idea to play a rather quirky Qunari for the Sera romance when I eventually get around to it. It can also depend on what you want to do with your characters though as to how they look and sound the part.

I miss Origin's North American accented Elves, since it made them stand out from all the other myriad British ones .

If I can find the downloads I need to finally make my Inquisitor Zevran, I'm going to use the American voice. Neither of them have an Antivan accent, so Jon Curry it will be for obvious reasons.
