Kelly Bailey delivered a wonderful performance for Gordon, all of his voice lines were just so stunningly dramatic and breathtaking.

lol

literally.

[@goldengaming5506]

Yeah, “breathtaking”

[@AlekDjRo]

He even played the hev suit voice...amazing 😂

[@syrsafox32]

Personally, I didn't think he did half bad with voicing the HEV Suit too. That's the truly most underappreciated performance of the series.

And the soldiers voice actor from tf2

[@icevortex402]

How did Michael Shapiro voiced both G-Man and Barney so different? Barney sounds way younger than G-man and still i can't believe there was one Actor behind both

That's why they're voice actors!

[@vreikezen8268]

When he’s in his normal voice, he sounds like both, it’s real weird.

[@oytuu]

You don't realise that the sniper and the citizens have the same voice until someone tells you

[@rayoflight1920]

At first the voice does sound familiar until a male citizen tries to speak quietly or screams it's undoubtedly Sniper, also I love the samples in the video "heads up!" "incoming!" as the image of Sniper throwing his Jarate comes to mind instead of those citizens

[@Cryonator_932]

[@alexvitov]

That's actually is a genius move from kelly bailey to voice combine soldiers. Non voice actor delivers that general soldiers voice since they so not show much emotions.

[@jasonx1174]

It's also fitting given how he's also the voice of the HECU soldiers in the original Half Life.

Kelly Bailey continues to surprise me, I didn't know he also voiced Combine troops! Speaking of troops, is it known who voiced soldiers and metrocops in alpha builds? I'm wondering because their pain sounds and CP's "Take him down!" line from Point Insertion clearly were recorded before the rest of them, using an audio filter from alpha builds. Also, I think you missed Overwatch radio voice and regular zombies. I heard the latter were voiced by Marc Laidlaw.

Overwatch radio is just Ellen McLain! The zombies I assume were either Laidlaw or just stock sounds reversed.

[@DaRealBruner]

@ I think somewhere it was confirmed that Marc Laidlaw did the iconic "yabba my icing!" scream for the zombies.

@@DaRealBruner Just spoken to Marc... Yes he did the zombie burning screams.

[@gregatim]

From similarities probably kelly also voiced the beta combines.

[@lychy645]

Dennis Bateman voices the early metrocops and John Patrick Lowries voices the soldiers

[@AlesterMyersWick]

poor jim french... he had so many characters he voiced... Scientist (Gunman Chronicles) Father Grigori (Half-Life 2) Bill (Left 4 Dead 1&2, Payday: The Heist) Fisherman (Half-Life 2: Lost Coast) Elder Titan (Dota 2)

[@JakeyBro69]

I always wondered why Odessa cubbage sounds so familiar. It’s because he’s the same voice as sniper tf2 😭

[@bizmasterTheSlav]

John Patrick Lowrie also voiced Sniper from TF2. My god, I love him! He's such a good voice actor and his voice is so memorable. Also, to mention, Ellen McLain, who voiced Overwatch, Glados and Administrator from TF2 is Lowrie's wife! :D

[@MarcLeoNyu]

Just some international info for whoever is interested: Sheckley's spanish voice actor in Half-Life 2 Ep 2 is Alfonso Vallés, the same guy who voiced Solid Snake in the spanish version of Metal Gear Solid (1998). For the Spanish comunity, it is considered "the spanish David Hayter". He also voiced Coach in Left 4 Dead 2 and other characters in many Valve games. In other words, it's like listening Snake's voice in a few games. Thank you Valve. By the way, I have played The Orange Box in English and I admit that the English voice acting it's way much better than the Spainsh, specially Alyx's voice. The English version has a lot more feeling put into it. The Spanish version sounds more like they were reading lines from a paper with just some context explained and it's a shame because Half-Life 1 did a better job. Therefore, good work to all this people from the video for making possible some of the most memorable games in history.

[@youbaouahdi4358]

Its the same thing in the french version, the voice acting is a bit boring in it, the only saving graces are Father Grigori and G-Man, French HL2 G-Man is so fucking good i believe its on par with the English voice.

Reckon a streaming style show would suit Half-Life. Do about 8-10 hours. Include Barney and Shepard, do it real time as in 24. But just like the games we only discover info when the characters do.

[@dtbjason]

This finally gave me confirmation about Dr. Kleiner! I listened to the Subgenious Hour Of Slack on the radio in the mid 90s' and I always swore Dr. Howl from that program was the scientist voice.

it's common sense that John and others recorded for the combine/metrocops during the early years of HL2. But Kelly's voice was ended up being used in the final product.

[@sharky1583]

@ no, you're wrong. The final product is John Lowrie. I asked him about it.

@@sharky1583 I can assure you it's not John. I talked to John too. 😀 I also talked to Marc Laidlaw whom also said it was Kelly, just like the HEV.

[@sharky1583]

@ I know John as a voice actor very well and he has very recognisable voice. In some Combine Prison Guards voice lines you can clearly hear it is his voice. Also in some sources on internet you can find it is actually John Patrick Lowrie who's voicing them.

[@sharky1583]

@ John told me it is him in the game. Then Kelly must have been in the early versions. I don't think so John would tell each of us two different stories.
