Liam O'Brien | Talking Voices (Part 1)

[@VeriteVoiceover]

Thanks for watching Part 1 of Liam's interview! 😄 See Part 2 Here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIXOYpqwma11rJI

[@multiversalauthority7142]

Hey

[@rory2698]

I swear Liam has to have the best voice in the business. So badass, yet philosophical sounding at the same time. Loved his work on Darksiders, Ergo Proxy and Fate/Stay Night.

[@VeriteVoiceover]

Thanks for watching Talking Voices

[@RahulKumar-uo1eb]

Also in monster too

[@JayIceColdD]

His work as Gaara is low-key the best work in the whole series, with the POSSIBLE exception of Yuri Lowenthal.

[@TheBakuganmaster99]

Ahem...kakashi? Jiraiya? Itachi? Pein?

[@DirtyBlueDahlia]

@@TheBakuganmaster99 Not as good as Gaara tbh

[@manzoorqureshi5024]

Kenzo tenma???

[@OGStarlightKY]

Sai Kaushal In terms of voice acting, not as iconic.

[@guyguino5770]

I think Tenma and Asura.

[@josephmullan7769]

He's literally 80% of characters in New Vegas and I love it XD

[@iancd9171]

That Gollum anecdote... He saw the opportunity and he took it. Brilliant prank, really !

[@VeriteVoiceover]

+Ian cd I bet the moment was rather...precious.

[@riyanveysel7037]

When he was talking about that,I was expecting "Now my blind eyes can see what others cannot" quote from Illidan.

[@jasonozoa8831]

He also voiced Yasuo.

[@CytoplasmikZombies]

Yo I love Liam from watching Critical Role, and have found him in New Vegas a handful of times. But, I had NO idea he voices my favourite character in my favourite videogame! I screamed I just heard him do it here. What a man. Love it

[@ryzen3010]

Liam o'brien is an outstanding voice actor. Possibly the best.

[@bodhisativaa]

Ryzen Deus along with Stephen Russell. They're amazing

[@CarloNassar]

Ryzen Deus Yep. One of the best for voicing wise characters.

[@NoahWeisbrod]

@@CarloNassar or voicing dark, edgy characters.

[@CarloNassar]

@@NoahWeisbrod True

[@QueenofTaterTots]

Gideon Emery is one too, while I know him more from video games than anything else, his voice is just amazing

[@UsonoHoushi]

when people hear Liam O'Brien, most people think Gaara OR other characters he plays. But for me, he will always be freaking Weiss from Nier Gestalt. Man is proud, snobby, and his arguments with Kaine is always a freaking treat.

[@kamentrainerhorn2073]

Grimoire Weiss. Everyone's favorite magazine.

[@godzillakiller1]

I always thought he had a distinct low voice, I never thought it was just another act he does lol

[@ΚικηΑντιπατη]

I'm just here for Caleb Widogast, dunno bout y'all

[@devildham]

Just for Vax

[@xdruidmaster]

For Lord Illidan

[@darkrealmlight92]

For Caius Ballad in FF XIII-2 and LR, War in Darksiders, CG EMIYA and Matou Kariya from Deen's Fate/Stay Night and Fate/Zero.

[@davelo3506]

I really liked how he can scream that infamous "blood, its my blood" line from Gaara, really outdid himself bravo sir

[@angieisadork]

I legit got chills when he did the classic "you are not prepared" line lol. Love Liams work.

[@Supermynci9000]

Liam O'Brien is downright one of my most favorite voice actors aside from Johnny Yong Bosche, Troy Baker, and several others.

[@ezioauditore6371]

YES! THESE THREE ARE MY FAVORITE TOO! AND MATTHEW MERCER AND LAURA BAILEY

[@ezioauditore6371]

@Medal Cat YESSSSS

[@firepuppies4086]

Look at a Persona voice cast list, you'll more than likely get someone who sounds amazing.

[@chipsalom]

@@ezioauditore6371 Laura Bailey for sure. Loved her even before CR. Now, she's stratosphere category lol

[@williamsapong81]

Personally, Kimberly Brooks, Carrie Keranen, and Spike Spencer are growing on me.

[@novapulse3957]

He was amazing for Asura's Wrath.

[@YeahTheDuckweed]

Nova Pulse Absolutely. I love Liam. Why is that game so underrated and unknown, though? Brilliant story, incredible characters.

[@nicksbrown1994]

Da-Ja Thinks I agree, Asura's Wrath is probably one of my favorite games on the Xbox 360 at the time. Not to mention the game's story was so amazing and very animeish, I absolutely loved it especially hearing Liam as Asura with his blood boiling, rage induced, roaring and screaming! It's not everyday where people play as a pissed off, angry demi-god father, who will literally take on an entire army by himself and completely obliterate them into smithereens. Definitely a game worth playing.

[@josephedwards5629]

Nova Pulse YES!!!

[@dominykaszakrys3373]

*_"I did not come for your heart"_* *_"Face the Wind !"_* *_"You're not going to perish from that scratch, are you?"_*

[@MsTotallyawesome101]

This makes me so happy that he also voices baby panda Gaara

[@bhume7535]

The amount of times I've said "I've been waiting for this!" along with Akihiko while playing Persona 3 and I haven't realized it was Liam is mind boggling.

[@ShaolinPretzels]

He voiced Nightcrawler AND Akihiko! This guy is my hero!! EDIT: I think he also did Gill’s voice in the SFV story mode.

[@SHADOWASH7]

He does a great job voicing my favorite video game character which happens to be Akihiko Sanada.

[@TheAAMoy]

#CriticalRole for the win!

[@zephyrsbusiness6437]

Alan Moy Vax here probably has one of the most beautiful sisters in all of Emon

[@petesgurl101]

Liam as Vax was the reason I made an assassin rogue for when our Friday night group played Curse of Strahd!!!

[@mugetzuii8365]

fckin yasuo double crit

[@daedalonprime]

This absolute madlad voiced Gaara from Naruto,Yasuo from League of Legends,Gollum from Lord of the Rings AND Illidan Stormrage from World of Warcraft. One of most popular games/animated series/movies in the WORLD. Hands down,without a doubt,one of the most talented voice actors our planet has to offer.. Edit: Grammar mistake

[@vellbariaofficial]

The guy behind Akihiko, the most confident-looking character from Persona 3 - ♫ Caesar!!!

[@PdroxCbon]

Man, Persona 3 has to be my favorite game of all times.. And to think that I was on episode 60 of Critical role when he said something and I was like ''Huh.. He kind of sounded like Akihiko from P3''.

[@yowhazsuphomes]

just heard him in Carmen Sandiego as Professor Gunnar Maelstrom, now I know why he sounded so familiar. I WAS NOT PREPARED!

[@VeriteVoiceover]

Awesome! And we have interviews with more of that cast coming up! Stay tuned!

[@aswadchowdhury3271]

Akihiko,Lloyd and now Vax - thank you Liam!

[@LegendStormcrow]

And Caleb.

[@Zerobloodify]

I adore his voice as War in the Darksiders series! It fits him so well, a noble yet rough character overall. Props to him.

[@Be_Khaos]

"To HELL with your CLAIMS! The SEALS were BROKEN! I WAS SUMMONED!" - War, (Darksiders 1) This was (although probably not) the first time I heard Liam's voice and my GOD, if there was ever a tone for pure masculine energy, it was that one. Rough, intimidating and not to be trifled with. Death from Darksiders 2 is my favourite, but only because he's sarcastic and witty. War takes himself seriously, which I like, but Death is the personification of: "I tolerate your existence all the while it amuses me to do so... The moment that stops, I'll end you". Edit: "MY SIN?! This CORRUPTION was born in ABSALON! It rises from him like a black tide and YOU 'Mother' must help me stop it! WHERE IS THE DEMON KEY!" - Death, (Darksiders 2)

[@mistamemewide]

Also: this guy plays a Wizard with a story that made him have problems and PTSD with Fire.

[@sbollimpalli]

You forgot the part where he’s a pyromancer with fire induced ptsd

[@ariannasilva4462]

He voiced nightcrawler! That was my favorite rendition of the nightcrawler voice!

[@oweznero]

Why no one talking about the fact that he literally voiced Dr tenma from the legendary anime MONSTER

[@haha_yes]

Fucking live his voice

[@museluvr]

I have to bias here, and say my fave is Illidan Stormrage.. because, yes, for 8 years now, I'm a Warcraft player. Quite surprised while watching the Critical Role episodes when I learned you were the voice of the character I've always been curious of. And the other voices you do.. holy smokes Liam! Thank you for all you do, to let forth 'those within'.

[@BunkPhD]

There is no voice actor right now I love more that Liam! Keep up the awesome, man!

[@melodieangelique3385]

yeah especially that he voices my #1 fav naruto character, GAARA OF THE SAND!!!!! :3 i would go CRAZY! good or bad that i'm not yandere.

[@netherza]

He voiced Illidan? That's incredible! With classic wow now coming to a crossroads with its release of classic TBC, I cant stop but think about this awesome voice actor, great work, a big fan! THIS TIME, WE ARE *PREPARED*

[@Barnicalsify]

How many are here because of Critical Role??

[@BM03]

The first time I heard this man's voice was Lezard Valeth in Valkyrie Profile Silmeria when I was a kid. I've been in love with his voice since, I can hear him anywhere and perk the HELL up. LOL

[@danielfonville1840]

crazy how much he is able to change his voice so much he is a great voice actor

[@wrath0rah]

My god. It’s almost 1:40 in the morning and I’m trying not to wake my family with my laughter. The immediate change from polite, chivalrous Liam’s “let’s make some magic” to “BUURRRUAAAARERRRGBLARGH” Almost made me cry. Thank you, Liam. You’re my all time favorite.

[@VeriteVoiceover]

🤣😂🤣😂

[@greykollasunneva]

He is such a sweetheart I love listening to him

[@Niikemi]

To think that I know Liam because he voiced Durant in Yggdra Union (2008), it's crazy. That game was my childhood and the reason I pretty much self-taught English. It's a shame no one ever mentions his great VO in that game. Awesome video!

[@Doomboyify]

I had no idea he was Gaara o.o

[@Calamity556]

I swear I keep hearing this guy voice somebody in every game I play and I love it.

[@SplitItOut]

Oh god when he said the Illidan line at the beginning i just melted!! Yes daddy i am prepared

[@Robdc89]

My favourite character Liam has voiced will always be, Grimoire Weiss.

[@ant.everest]

“Death is like the wind, always by my side” - Yasuo

[@_Zabbor_]

Liam o'brien is one of my favorite if not my favorite voice actor, ever since i heard him as War in darksiders

[@withindistruction54]

Love his voice for Gaara! Gaara will always be my favorite character in Naruto because he had a terrible childhood and a lot of pain inside of him.

[@KerkorDragonblood]

I was so blown away when I started watching Critical Role and found out he played Gaara. Honestly so cool.

[@Cheese-tann]

One of my favorite voice actors. My personal favorite was him voicing for Lezard Valeth in Valkyrie Profile 2. HE'S THAT GOOD

[@waningmoons]

He voices my two favorite characters ever, Father Illi and Gaara!

[@Wolfboy2012]

I always remember him in Final fantasy xiii-2 as Caius or the npcs in Fallout New Vegas.

[@wolfhunter98]

Hey. Me too. Caius's voice was sick. Also recall he did Wagner from Front Mission 4. Loved that game. Had no idea he did Golem though. Guess I associate his deeper voice with him.

[@ahau9799]

The Gollum part in the cave, perfect moment. Imagine a group farther up the cave hears it. They're just going along with the tour when up from the depths comes a grating whisper known only in legend. 😂

[@azgonath1937]

Calling Naruto a ninja soap opera cracked my world

[@ponkumaran6930]

War from Darksiders is how I came to know of him, I was pretty sure War sounded like Yasuo and yep

Wow, his normal voice is even very different. That makes me respect him even more. I especially like him as Kain in Dissidia 012.

[@tmma1869]

"I've been waiting for this!"

[@PdroxCbon]

''You see that, Shinji!?''

[@Burago2k]

When i started playing For Honor i instantly recognized that sexy gaara voice!

[@LiveAsDiva]

Randomly... I started to looked for him after playing a hidden gem game Odin Sphere..... He played Ingway, a loki-esque character but with a bit of angst and old British dialect... Amazing... I fell in love... And now, i cant even get his voice out of my head
