Can't tell if serious or not^^; No, this is obviously an impromptu skit. Alix and FPJr had a mock rivalry between themselves, both of them publicly vying for Mike's attention. All in good fun.

Aw, I'm kind of disappointed now. XD

More interesting is that they are hanging out with an Inquisitor va.
Well, if Alix's mere mention of playing an 'angry elf' has temporarily made us assume that something seriously 'dragonagey' is happening, then her hanging out with Creative Director of Dragon Age franchise will certainly stir more speculations

Um I hope she doesn't play a part that's too major or serious as I....honestly think her voice is boring. Samantha Traynor's voice was pretentious/boring. The Inquisitor's voice was bland and boring. She has a "sexy" voice and is obviously a pretty model blonde type but I want to actually be immersed in games, and to feel emotions, and to be impacted by characters in the process, not lured (unless that's the point of the character).
Sorry to denigrate her and I realize she might see this post, but the criticism is honest. Where is the bite? I love Jennifer Hale's voice because it had so much grit and feeling behind it. I actually liked PeeBee's voice, too, as a lighter, more carefree voice. She had a self-aware voice acting style that was laced with notes of irony in spite of being outwardly bubbly.
Like...are they just picking her because of who she knows? Sorry. I'm sure this is the type of comment that would provoke a scathing blog post from Mike Laidlaw or some passive aggressive tweet like"get a friggin life u cranky worthless fan" but I'm also an intelligent consumer of media, and I have a brain, and I'm not being petty or jelly, I'm just genuinely noting all the things which seriously dissatisfied me in Bioware's latest games. You want to ignore the criticism and the insinuations, you're gonna do it anyhow.
Predictable next post: "Well *I* liked the Inquisitor VA"

uuummmmm....okay. it's hopeless. Bye!
It's just different tastes. Nothing can be done about it, as you've said, it's hopeless. Well, it's not completely hopeless if you build a game to your personal tastes. Personally, I find Hale's voice boring and sleepy in ME, but I don't expect anyone else to share my opinion.
I've been lucky so far, most of the male protag voices I like. Except for the "American" choice in Inquisition.
Like...are they just picking her because of who she knows?
Why would you think that? AFAIK, she didn't know anyone on the Dragon Age team before she did some voice work on Origins. (Most notable character she played there was probably Ser Cauthrien) Presumably they were happy with her performance and that's why they hired her for subsequent projects and gave her a job on Inquisition. She's done a bunch of voice work on non-BioWare games, too.

That's quite a post.
We don't know that she has been "picked" for anything, since DA4 doesn't officially exist. She's not the only VA to pal around with the devs. Some of the VAs, like Alix, Allegra Clark, and FPJ (I've seen these three the most often) got along well with the Bioware devs and seemed to enjoy the DAI experience. It seems like a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Sorry you didn't like her as a VA, but if the Inquisitor shows up in some capacity, I certainly do hope they have ALL four of the VAs return for that appearance, however spare or involved it is. We have voiced protagonists in these games now, and that's the risk you take when you go that route.
And yeah, I liked my male Brit VA. One of the reasons is because he was more mellow; I didn't care for the extremities of the DA2 personality system. People have different tastes.

I didn't care for Alix as fem Inquisitor, but I actually like her natural voice from the limited bit we hear in that clip above! But I adore Harry Hadden-Paton as my male Brit VA.

... Well, it's certainly "hopeless" if you choose to suddenly jump in with your criticism out of a blue on a Twitter Thread.

Mike Laidlaw @mike_Laidlaw Had an amazing time with @alixwiltonregan, @kessel_run , and @abzybabzy last night. Mae knows some cool places here in Montréal.
Mae Morrison @kessel_run You're fucking right I do. BUT. It's the company that really made the evening exceptional 🦄 🦄 🎉 🎉
I hope we don't get saddled with this voice again. That's if she is the female Hawke.
That is the fem Brit Inquisitor.
Again though, they always try to bring the same actors back. There were two main reasons Anders's VA got changed. His original DAA VA is also the voice of Cullen, who had a larger role in DA2, and also Anders in DA2 was darker, so he needed a voice that was more fitting.
As far as I know, there have been no other switching of voices in the DA games.

Well, as long as we get the non-British lady with the lower voice back, I am all set. Or the lady who voiced the F!Smuggler.
I am always amazed how folks can actually recognize the VAs in different roles. I am on the caveman level of "like/do not like". Bio though managed to reconcile me with the nasal male VAs they like so much, but I am holding out on the high-pitch British females.

I can't talk for the english games (I only ever played Inquisition in english) but they switched/re-used many of the german VAs over the time, some examples:
Sascha Rotermund voices Zevran in DAO, but also male Hawke in DA2/DAI <-- that's the reason why I can't play male Hawke, all I hear is Zevran with a slightly deeper voice. Marion von Stengel voiced Leliana in DAO, but got replaced in DA2/DAI by Magdalena Turba <-- I actually like Leliana's second VA much better, her first sounded so annoying in DAO, couldn't take her anywhere without wanting to hit her. Martin May voiced Alistair in DAO and got replaced by Frank Schröder Oliver Siebeck voices Orisino in DA2 and also Armund "The Skywatcher" the Avvar and Thornton the Hunter in DAI Multiplayer Gundi Eberhard voices Aveline in DA2 and Tamar the Reaver in DAI MP Karlo Hackenberger voices Sandal in DAO/DA2 and Hall the Archer in DAI MP <-- I did not now Hall and Sandal had the same voice in german Heide Domanowski voices both Flemeth (DAO-DAI) and High Cleric Elthina (DA2)
I bet there are more VAs that got re-used, but those are all I could find on Wikipedia.
Greed is neither good, nor bad. Everybody wants something they don't have
