Obviously a woman because that's what communism is. But which woman?

it should be Gilbert Gottfried, but alas that's no longer possible, RIP

Shohreh Aghdashloo would be an incredible choice though, I love her voice

[-] Findom_DeLuise@hexbear.net 8 points 3 months ago

Emo Philips is probably looking for work

Nothing would be funnier than quotes about human progress read aloud by Donald Trump.

[Researching pottery]

You're telling me. Folks. You're telling me that some people. Not naming any names but it's crooked Joe Biden. Would have the Clay ask he who is forming it, what he's making. It's a disgrace let me tell you.

[Researching Civil Rights]

I have a dream. Folks, I have the best dreams. Nobody has better dreams than me.

[-] radio_free_asgarthr@hexbear.net 15 points 3 months ago

I thought of it after being reminded of Leonard Nimoy doing civ4, but Patrick Stewart would probably be good.

Dakota Johnson just being really sarcastic and miscast

"You've researched [Arachnids]. You were in the Amazon with my mom when she was researching spiders right before she died."

If it has to be a woman. Give it to PhilosophyTube. She's reasonably marxist, a good actress with a good voice and the visibility or platform of literally any British trans person makes JK seethe.

[-] CamillePagliacci@hexbear.net 4 points 3 months ago

She should do her bad dude impression for all the male line read and her normal voice for all the women line reads.

[-] Rx_Hawk@hexbear.net 11 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

She might be pretty lib, but I love Terry Gross' voice

[-] CamillePagliacci@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago

If we're doing podcasters, phoebe judge would have similar vibes.

Kristen Schaal

Serious answer: David Attenborough.

[-] CamillePagliacci@hexbear.net 5 points 3 months ago

Kristen Schaal would be a good way to make everyone mad. I approve

[-] Dessa@hexbear.net 4 points 3 months ago

I love her voice but it would be so awkward for this

i can't think of an older English language actress known for their voice that isn't either the type of person who gets oscar noms (And is therefore out-of the price range) or a voice actor who does silly voices or voices children. I mean I guess there's Shohreh Aghdashloo.

Then again I suppose people didn't really know Nimoy for his distinctive voice.

[-] Florn@hexbear.net 11 points 3 months ago

Nimoy did have a distinctive voice, especially when he got older. He's instantly recognizable in 4.

[-] CamillePagliacci@hexbear.net 6 points 3 months ago

I'm not arguing that Nimoy wasn't good in 4. But I don't know if he was an actor known specifically for his voice. If you think otherwise, or I'm just wrong, that's cool, but that just gets us back to the issue that I can't think of a woman known for her voice that could get cast for this. (Except Shohreh Aghdashloo)

[-] Wertheimer@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago

Helen Mirren does those Documentary Now! intros, so maybe she lowers her normal asking price for the rule of cool.

[-] ryepunk@hexbear.net 8 points 3 months ago

It's going to be Chris Pratt. Guys he's so cool, there's no one he can't voice, and his voiceover will allow civ to really crack the mainstream.

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago

My brain tried to protect me by misreading this as "Chris Pine," and I thought "yeah I like him in movies alright WAIT."

[-] dumpster_dove@hexbear.net 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Kamala Harris, but she has to be zoinked out of her gourd and with permission to go off-script

[-] hsv@hexbear.net 8 points 3 months ago

Liz Franczak

Danielle Bunten Berry

It's only fitting:

In 2007, the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences chose Berry to be inducted into its Hall of Fame.[4] Sid Meier, the mastermind behind the video game series Civilization, inducted her at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas.

[-] CamillePagliacci@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago

Wikipedia says she's dead. So that one might be tough to swing

[-] macabrett@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago

I completely misunderstood the question. I thought it was about who should be quoted in tech quotes, not who should do the voice acting. My bad.

[-] CamillePagliacci@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago

It's cool. What quote specifically and for what tech?

"Gee I wish I had spent more time alone with my computer" for computers?

"[Ms. Danielle Berry's] career looks to be somewhat different from old Mr. Dan Bunten's. For one thing, I'm not as good a programmer as he was." For... I guess also computers

Joking: Wayne June

Amelia Tyler was a pretty amazing narrator for Baldur's Gate 3, imagine she'd do a similarly great job with this

[-] Smeagolicious@hexbear.net 5 points 3 months ago

Lenval Brown, not a woman afaik but a silky smoov voice for tech quotes

[-] CamillePagliacci@hexbear.net 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Sorry we're doing communism, which means women in video games. But yeah Lenval Brown has an amazing voice and should be in more stuff.

[-] Smeagolicious@hexbear.net 4 points 3 months ago

Ah well if we're doing communism I gotta agree with the other votes for Shohreh Aghdashloo

[-] daniyeg@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago
