I was friends with Victoria Teunissen for a time. She was certainly a talented actor and I love her work in Black Mesa. After a time though, I had to discontinue our friendship for various reasons. I only just now learned of her passing and that saddens me. I wish her family the best.

Holy crap, I thought Barney and Kleiner were still voiced by their original VA until this video

[@themagicbekfastblades3946]

If I remembered correctly, Mike shapiro (original VA of barney and Gman) was interested in participating in the black mesa development, but Declined because (I think) he was busy at the time

[@Goldfish_Vender]

@@themagicbekfastblades3946 damn that sucks. Kevin is a good VA and all and he does a REALLY convincing barney, but his GMAN voice just isn't there for me. It's still good but it doesn't come close to the OG.

[@mrdarkshoe]

@@Goldfish_VenderHes got the cadence and voice on par but I think the difference is that Mike Shapiro can hit that truly deeper register in his voice, he has more bass and so his voice carries a truly chilling timbre. Sisk is really good but those low notes make that difference imo

[@gregatim]

sad that Victoria died she did a nice job as a tram announcer and as a VOX

Rest in peace Victoria Teunissen. May you always be encapsulated for your work as well as the voices you did for Black Mesa.

[@Madhayter]

Kevin is fun to hang out with. My dad worked on black mesa, he had a huge role in Xen. Anyway, he decided to invite him to our group server and he plays with us every now and then. Brian Dale is also there, he's fun.

The HEV Suit sounds so similar to The 1998 Half Life HEV Suit

[@honzabalak3462]

Everything sounds similar. They chose their voice actors well.

[@eldkfwkd321]

Fun fact: The HEV Suit sounds from the Half-Life voiced by "Kelly Bailey", who is a soundtrack composer for all Half-Life series (except Half-Life: Alyx) and Portal. Also, He is one of the four Valve employees that make up Gordon's face.

[@daor4]

​@@eldkfwkd321 erm it's Kelly Bailey

It's rare someone makes voice actor of Half-Life games

[@АндрогинЙао]

Yup

[@jasonx1174]

Honestly not too suprising that only a handful of voice actors do the voices in Black Mesa. Was the same case in the original Half Life.

[@KeksimusMaximus]

And HEV Suit is voiced by a male actor too, hilarious

No matter what I think about Black Mesa, I definitely like how these guys voiced the characters. Especially Hillard and Sisk.

[@Yeet-mq8tr]

There's no way you didn't like Black Mesa. Once you get through the intro the game looks and feels amazing and improves many things from HL1. ESPECIALLY Xen which imo was not good in HL1.

[@AlesterMyersWick]

i didn't know kleiner and other male scientists shared the same voice actor...

[@bbenjoe]

I know right :) Well, except for the old scientist at the test chamber - who is more famous as the narrator of the Stanley Parable.

I'm not a big fan of the direction they went for the male VOX voice... it sounds way too openly sinister, whereas in HL it just sounded particularly robotic and serious

[@syberpunk]

1:16 Kevin Sisk does a good job as Eli. Props to Crowbar Collective for going with who was qualified for the job. The Simpsons fired their longtime voice actor for Apu, and Family Guy fired Cleveland’s longtime actor, after Floyd 2020, because they were white. So what Black Mesa is doing here is extremely controversial.

[@dbowl7111]

Sisk was never supposed to be the final actor for Eli, they had another actor lined to do to recording since it was always supposed to be temporary, but plans must've fell through. Also like literally who cares.

[@thesidneychan]

Hank Azaria wasn't fired. He voices other characters on the Simpsons.

[@syberpunk]

@thesidneychan Ok, “dropped from his most iconic role”

[@thesidneychan]

@syberpunk he wasn't dropped. It was his own choice to stop voicing Apu. And he explained why.

[@syrsafox32]

Man I wish that Kevin Sisk would do a Half-Life 2 voicepack to replace Barney. Michael Shapiro is great and OG, but I play way too much Black Mesa for me to think that it's the same guy.
