Voice Actor Appreciation
Lilly’s voice in the ep 2 trailer is amazing! It sent chills down my spine. Not to mention Clem, who is stellar as always. Nicki Rapp and Mellissa Hutchison are some of the best in the business. Can’t wait to hear more of their talent.

Seriously, as damn near immediately recognizable as she was, there was something of mild energizer to that narration. Imagine how hyped most people who actually like the game were.
You don’t?
She is fucking AMAZING.
I actually don't mind they showed Lilly in the trailer instead of keeping it as a surprise.
Props to the voice actress of Lily for returning and instantly taking center stage with just a sentence.
I’ve watched some interviews on her previous works and she has such a wide vocal range! Cold and cunning, and then the sims children lmaoo
Edit: I don’t know why “vocal” autocorrected to “vocabulary” but I’m she sure has that too
LITERALLY.
Let's give a very special round of applause to Hannah Telle for doing such an amazing job with her voice acting
Who?
Eh, yeah, not really.
Her voice actress
Isn’t that Hannah Telle?
Yeah, that's what I said
You said Courtney Wagner fam haha
I agree, for only saying about 2 sentences, Nikki Rapp did a great job in the trailer, makes me excited to hear how she does in the actual episode. Just from the voice alone you know this isn't the same Lilly from Season 1, she's dealt with the tribulations and challenges of this world and has changed in the years that have passed, and Rapp did a great job capturing that.
Agreed!! Mellisa and Nicki’s dynamic will be very interesting. I feel like this was destined to happen from the start of the series.
Side note: I absolutely love your review videos for ANF
Aw, thank you.
One of the things that made me love Lilly in the first game was her voice actress
Agreed!
she sounds real scary I LOVE IT
I found every character's voice acting in Episode 1 to be on point.
Marlon, Violet, Louis, AJ, Clem, even Abel all sound really good to me.
Props to the voice actors
Agreed!!
I love Lilly’s voice in the meatlocker scene in S1E2.. I love how the irritated and frustrated tune works in it.
“Goddammnit Lee.. I NEED YOU!”
I find that a bit odd considering that you are one of the more active people on the forums. So if you don't really care for this game, why do you spend so much time on these forums? Please don't take this the wrong way, I'm not trying to get you to leave or tell you how to spend your time, I'm just curious.
I think Jeff Schine needs some appreciation. Dude got criticised way too much back in the day for not sounding Cuban, but what people didn’t realise is that Javier was hinted to have been brought up in the US, therefore he’d have the American accent. Dude’s voice is majestic ?
Totally! I mean.. have you seen him on the latest TWD panel? Dude's fucking hilarious
Huh. Well, I'm actually kinda piqued you asked, so I guess I can try to tell you:
Jeff Shine was great. Especially with Javi's more laidback attitude.
Such a great voice actor wasted in a such a bad game. It's a shame he wasn't in S1 or S2. He would probably be considered as one of the GOAT voice actors in TWD series, but as we all know he was wasted in ANF and therefore people don't appreciate him as much.
Sad stuff.
And allow me to introduce you plebs to Violet VA
Gideon Adlon
I sent this page to Nicki Rapp and she said...
"Wow. That was so special to read!! Thank you so much for sharing that with me!!! ?"
She is really happy to hear all these things from you guys!
Oh no, that's been discussed, it was brought up that David also had an American accent and didn't struggle pronouncing Spanish words and never touched again lol
I've always liked the work Lilys VA did in the series. Marlons VA was absolutely fantastic in his final scene.
Time to start a petition to have telltale actually put him in the final season or give him his own stand alone game post ANF or pre ANF?
And in Long Road Ahead when she said “I know somebody’s been stealing from us, that’s right, stealing!”
Hell yeah
Honestly, I thought the voice acting for pretty much the entire Garcia family was good; Kate, Gabe and David. Say what you will about all of them as characters, but I think their respective voice actors did the best with what they had. I suppose some people can argue about the accuracy of the accents, but as far as delivery goes, I don't see that much to complain out.
Gabe's episode 5 death scene, for example. For a teenage voice actor, the dude did a surprisingly good job making Gabe sound like a scared, dying kid. Or David in general. His VA did a great job capturing a lot of the rage and aggression of his character. Even Kate's voice actor, despite the character not having as much range as the first two, did a decent job bringing the character to life.
It's just a shame that they couldn't have been in a more popular entry for this series. I feel a similar thing towards Michonne's cast as well (Randall and Sam being standouts to me). Then again, at the end of the day, they still got a paycheck out of it so I guess it's not a complete loss.
“And I know the list of people I can trust get smaller everyday! NOW GET OUT!”
Totally deserves it, all of it. make sure she knows that!
The trailer was indeed chilling. The music, Clem's and Lilly's lines in both delivery and content were amazing. Lots of interesting scenes to look forward to also. This was better than the trailer for Done Running which was also quite good. All in all a fantastic trailer.
Yeah, if there's one positive to take out of ANF it's definitely the quality of the voice actors. Javier and David being the standouts for me.
The voice actors shouldn't feel bad about the fact that ANF wasn't a great success. They did all they could and gave their best at every line, but unfortunately due to Telltale's other internal issues during the development, the end quality of the game was pretty poor. But at least the voice actors (I assume) got paid so there's that positive thing too I guess.
TFS is also looking very promising in terms of voice acting thus far (Ray Chase's Marlon being the standout for me) so I'm hoping the rest of the game will have great voice acting too.
