Guild Wars 2 Living World Behind the Voice: Sam Riegel

[@michaelgobeil9562]

What?! Emmy award-winning Sam Riegel?!

[@tharrock337]

Legend has it they could get him in the booth because Sam is currently, while his contractually obligated appearances on talks machina are on hold, moving as far away from Brian Foster as he can.

[@keikei79]

I think it's Daytime Emmy Award-winning Sam Riegel.

[@JC-ln6on]

tharrock337 - Just couldn’t take the constant breakouts of Cabbage Lung. He’s got kids, damnit!

[@sem785]

SAM IS BRAHAM?! Critical role woo!

[@williamdegrey]

Also Evon Gnashblade ;)

[@mattg6106]

He also used to be in FFXIV as one of the main characters. I never realized it and I have been playing the game for years. Dude's got some range.

[@chantalperez7815]

I didn't hear it when I first began to watch CR but I get super excited whenever I have Braham around. I liked him before, now I adore him. Because Sam X-D

[@Paul-lf2ly]

I LITERALLY JUST SHOUTED THIS AS I FOUND OUT

[@JuniperoHendricks]

God I never noticed sam was brahams voice, the guy is a chameleon.

[@XavierDarkhand]

Ikr? How the heck did I miss this!? I've heard him for so long!

[@mega17]

They clearly added some effect to the recording. He sounds deeper/larger in-game.

[@MikePhantom]

so who is sam riegel? the brother of kinder riegel?

[@sofialaya596]

same for Mat at critical role, how many voices can he do!?

[@crookeddesk]

@@mega17 idk about that, Sam is an amazingly skilled voice actor, so often I don't recognize sams voice until I see the IMDB xD

[@Blobby90]

Man I never knew his voice could go so deep

[@bosunbones.8815]

He's apparently the voice of Tizlak in Heart of Thorns too, according to the GW2 Wiki

[@RanHarasaki]

They run it through a filter, similar to how they do with all Charr voice actors.

[@dunewizard]

"Ding!" I have found at least 3 NPCs voiced by Sam in Lions Arch alone, my favorite is the bard that argues with his robot companion. He does seem to be nearly everywhere, and every time I catch one of his characters, I have to stop and listen, just because Sam is just so amazing.

[@l38-n6f]

At these prices, I must have brain damage!

[@brunosouza3326]

I believe he also voices the three ratanovians researchers at the start of Triple Trouble. If funny to hear him talk to himself for a minute

[@bosunbones.8815]

I discovered that bard just the other day!

[@giantrobotadam]

Sam Riegel. The Man. The Myth. The Legend.

[@oldmanjinkinsskyrim737]

Also know as Scanlan Shorthalt!

[@Strix182]

Whoa, this is disarming. Very different from the dulcet tones of Nott the Brave.

[@semperludens9241]

What?! Emmy award-winning and legendary voice actor Burt Reynolds Esquire?!

[@mouzlymakes]

I'm waiting to hear Braham say a D & D beyond ad now.. Anytime now Sam.. Anytime..

[@tharrock337]

WHADDUP HOELBRAK! Elders and spirits gather round, because braham eirsson has some super hot news for you! Last week the commander told me about something related to stopping a threat of some sort and I am sure what they said after that was important in one way or another, but you know me. DIDN'T LISTEN! Talks way too much that commander. Anyways in the past that was a huge problem for me but thanks to the diligant organization of D&D beyond I now know exactly what it was is that I don't know and this way I can use D&D beyonds communication features to subtely slide a note over to Rox so she can fill me in on the details later! Ouuuuuu! That's right Gram, no more mucking up plans because I didn't listen, from this day on I will never again mess with the commander because I didn't pay attention. It will be strictly me choosing to ignore them in the future because as you all know, I know better. BRAHAM OUT!

[@galdarienloyalar3148]

Fucking please

[@ismafalvar]

Sam Riegel thinking: "Wtf am I supposed to say to these nerds"

[@baylego]

Ish Alvarez Implying he's not a huge nerd too?

[@CriticalGeminiHero]

@@baylego he is but he has fun acting like he is better than that lol

[@PvtVallen]

He's a bigger nerd than most people watching.

[@hectorgembe8005]

@@PvtVallen I believe he had 10,000 comic books if I'm correct?

[@maew150]

now all we need is him to start voicing some female asura thief and we're good...

[@VioletMoonfox]

Sam likes Braham because he reminds him of his Grog.

[@cynhanrahan4012]

Also voice that NPC charr in Lion's Arch "Well burn me, it's a stingray." I recognized the voice even through the charr filter.

[@DivaCosplay]

So I've been playing GW2 since release. Started watching Critical Role (S1 Vox Machina) since a few weeks. I figured I knew "Scanlan"s voice from somewhere. Until I was in GW's Lions Arch and interacted with Marcello DiGiacomo and then it hit me. So I went looking Sam up. I had never in a million dreams figured out on my own that both Marcello and Braham were voiced by the same person. A man of many talents. #Lessthanthree

[@niclastname]

When the voice actor is WAYYYY more likeable than the character they play.

[@christofferhougaard]

Ladies and gentlemen! Behold... SCAAAAANLAAAAN SHORTHALT!

[@SamFuller1989]

I've been playing GW2 all this time and I had no idea the guy from Critical Role was Braham!

[@finasol1019]

I would love to see a Behind the Voice for Troy Baker. It'd be interesting to hear his insight into Logan's character

[@zsuwolf]

I come back to this video from time to time to make sure that this is still Sam Riegel's voice acting. I love how different he is as Braham.

[@chandlerdavis7664]

I've heard this guy in so many cartoons, video games, and animes since I was a kid. Same Yuri Lowenthal and Steven Blum

[@Valwryn00]

I wonder if this is the session that gave Sam the shredded voice for Liam's one shot?

[@Saycille]

Sam is amazing!!! Always happy to hear him in anything! I can kinda tell that the actors record lines without each other, sometimes they are individually great but together it doesn't fit well.

[@sebastianbrantton1322]

I love that as I am watching Sam saying Braham's lines my mind thinks that Sam is lipsyncing to Braham's voice, like they're two different people

[@SmeenWrites]

Sam is my hero, super happy to see him on this channel!

[@EVAUnit4A]

Please interview Claudia Christian-! I've been hearing her voice on my [main] norn Ranger since my first day in 2015, and I really enjoy her dialogue delivery in Story Mode.

[@LordZeebee]

Whaaaaat??? I had no idea Braham was Sam wtf!! :O

[@michaelsegal7443]

fun fact he was the voice of Donatello in the 2003 TMNT series

[@malenbadger7733]

I just started the critical role campaign and I laughed so hard when I heard the "thrid nipple" thing XD that excuse Scanlan used on Lady Kima.

[@artygunnar]

spice? anyone? spice? do you spice?

[@benjaminZ20]

Ahh you must be the infamous Meat Man, come come follow me, I have what your looking for

[@sassulps5705]

He.. acts so professional

[@wickedpissa25]

Sam Riegel is a comic genius!

[@fiapritchard905]

He’s so modest about his voices but he’s great like for realsies

[@Lukos0036]

Now to work Scanlan into the game as an Asura mesmer...

[@Toffeehammer]

I remember finding out Sam was Braham somewhere in season 3. Mind blown. Looking forward to seeing Sumalee's video.

[@PartridgeQuill]

Sam is in GW2? This makes me love the game even more!!!

[@brotherofAnubus]

I jumped out of my seat when I saw this! Sam = Braham!!!

[@Shyruban]

The interaction between Taimi and Braham is pretty funny at times :)

[@swiper-no-swiping]

guild wars 2 turns out to be the longest dnd beyond ad yet

[@illurian5616]

WAIT. ALL THIS TIME SCANLAN WAS BRAM? Time to hop back on GW2.

[@Krolshi]

I knew I heard him randomly from NPCs but BRAHAM??? I didn’t even realize 😩❤️

[@sidxus]

omg i met him and did not know this he could have signed my book!!!!

[@finasol1019]

It kind of blows my mind that Braham is played by the same guy who would scry with poo and leave dumps all over the place in Critical Role. I would never have known if I didn't look it up. Sam's an amazing actor!

[@garethwilkins6744]

Braham's whole character arc is him realising he isn't the main character.

[@Evo__]

E-P-I-D-E-M-I-C. Ka-BRAHAM!

[@sheepaleepz]

I love these videos so much! I'd honestly be super pumped if you guys did the female charr voice or the female Asura since those are the two characters that I main haha.

[@SA-hv6ek]

Sam is a riot

[@sleepinxonxbed]

Oh my god Sam can do deep voices LOL

[@nspinicelli]

Wait wait wait, GW2 is still around and releaseing new content??? I need to get back into it!

[@ameteuraspirant]

wish I could've played living world 1 and actually gotten to see brahm's introduction and what happened to 99% of the old cast I was just with rather than being plopped into heart of thorns just like "YEP this is your party now they're totally developed characters but you don't get to see any of that lul"

[@tambaloneusderpaloneus6626]

I love these please do lots more!!

[@shadowbane7401]

He plays Spider-Man in TASM series

[@elmaurii000]

Would love to play gw2 with sam

[@BM03]

What if Braham's voice is his REAL voice and his eternally-young sounding voice is him ACTUALLY voice acting 24/7 to throw everyone off? And if you think that's a long ass prank to pull, you do not know this gentleman.

[@chaoticcreations1184]

I had no idea Sam voiced Braham

[@getefix3]

now for liam obrien for the criticl role trifecta ... unless there are other voices i dont know about....

[@jadeparelius]

Braham is my *spirit* animal get it Do you guys take suggestions for behind the voice?
