EVERY character in Watchmaker. YEECH. It was almost as thought they were being forced at gunpoint to record their lines.

The police officer guarding the door to Eulemberg's bedroom in Martin Mystere--
I can usually just ignore bad voices--and often voices that bother others don't bother me--like Samuel in Black Mirror--but this guy drove me absolutely nuts.

Mary, I have to agree--Mustavio made me nuts--I was glad not to have to deal with him too often.

I have to get on the "Watchmaker" bandwagon. That was the worst voice acting I've ever heard in my life. The wife sounded like a junkie on the nod and the caretaker guy...you could barely understand him.
there was some other game I played recently...Niburu maybe? I can't quite remember...anyway, one of the villains couldn't quite get his nationality straight. He kept wandering around Europe, sometimes Scottish, sometimes German, sometimes Russian or Hungarian. Odd.

My choice wont be popular with most here. To me the voice of the lead in Keepsake. I have not played this game simply because of her voice. I couldn't even finish the demo because it irritated me so much. Now thats bad.

Wollmaus European version? I didn't know there were two English versions. I wonder if there is someplace to hear a demo of a British voice. Thanks I'll have to check that out.

 While I have long considered Syberia a fine game, the kid named "Momo" (Spelling?) was awful. I've even wondered if all the other characters didn't sound pretty good simply because he was pretty bad.
If all the people were heroes, there would be no one to watch the parades.

Momo didn't bother me. I used to work with People with Autism and other developmental disabilities and Momo was pretty high functioning!

Wollmaus The demo of the English version is the one that irritated me.

Hi Whilst I didn't "hate" the voice of Gabriel in GK2, I WAS terribly disappointed that it wasn't the lush, over the top tones of the delightful Mr. Curry [Still trying to make my mind up about the worst voices I've ever heard - but the Watchmaker is looming large  ] Cheers. Mad
