The Many Voices of "Liam O'Brien" In Video Games

[@Twisterfoot]

it’s so hard to match most of these voices with the guy i’ve watched playing a soft-spoken german wizard in d&d for the last few weeks.

[@Palpatine4Senate]

Zemnian* wizard lol

[@shewolfblacklink1062]

Dude same

[@knightaaron7]

i actually see it now, lol

[@KingREDEADED]

If he doesn't yell Yasha in Asura's voice in the second campaign I'm gonna be mad lol

[@CGFillertext]

Or the silly party animal that is Izana

Liam O'Brien: Professional Edgelord

[@ToastOnSmores]

David R. He voices infinite, so yeah

[@oxy_gen1us264]

ToastOnSmores and Vax lol, you have to be a certain level of edge to kill a mind flayer with a bucket of shit

[@TheCompleteMental]

Except Asura. He's a bluntlord

[@Gala-yp8nx]

He is his scars.

[@invisibleenenra9596]

@@TheCompleteMental And Leviathan who’s a sophisticated bone dragon.

[@GiordanDiodato]

apparently his voice is best suited to those who have had rough pasts and turned emo (looking at you, Kain)

[@Georelic35]

Giordan Diodato And Gaara And Illidan Etc.

[@beargrills3508]

And vax.

[@Astraldymensions]

Do not go far from me

[@missgreenmouse7218]

“In the darkness I say... Fuck”

[@anttiuusitalo2223]

It's almost like Vax is a kind of an homage to his career. Not that I know, it could be subconscious as well. In any case well played.

[@LoisyAbigail]

I just adore the breathy quality of his voice.

[@aswaney7449]

Me too. Too bad he doesn't sound like that in his regular speech.

[@clutterbot7279]

especially the voice like at 7:50!

[@nullprop]

YOU ARE NOT PREPARED

[@MioMillefeuille]

Ikr? I love

[@AgeChanee]

@@aswaney7449 hahhaha

[@superdawge808]

The master of sexy, breathy voices

[@SwogFrog]

superdawge I want his voice to take me out to a fancy dinner and bone me in a cheap hotel Kinda weird seeing as he voiced like half the breathy video game and dubbed anime characters I loved as a young teen

[@edgeIord]

Liam O'Brien is basically all of the NCR in Fallout: New Vegas. I also first heard him in League of Legends, so every character I hear his voice for is just Yasuo with different clothes.

[@valen.barreiro]

Same here except that, instead of Yasuo, for me is Illidan, it's so weird to see him in others characters like gaara and that stuff

[@panchemlon3051]

Yeah for me he's all those NCR troopers.

[@jadedlemon2693]

valen barreiro sane to me except that instead of yasuo I hear akihiko

[@AlexaAXAG]

@@jadedlemon2693 saaaaame

[@BakedPotato0630]

I remember that meme of the "Roses are red" with "You're a little bitch and your brother was too" ending to it. Lmao 😂

[@GhostCage]

His voice truely shines in Asura's Wrath.

[@garothegoldenknight498]

+RANDOMNATION! Dat scream of pure rage tho

[@GhostCage]

Dragon Master True dat

[@TheGoman21]

+RANDOMNATION! Yeah buddy.

[@traumatized829]

Nah dude. Everyone remembered his voice as Ghost's death scream from Starcraft 2. If you haven't heard it yet, I would really suggest you listen to it. It will be soooooo memorable to a point, you will always be able to identify his voice in any character anywhere.

[@lemmegetuuh7716]

The rage scream is the fucking best dude

[@Gaudaloth]

i like him in his role of emo rogue and boyfriend of gilmore

[@spencer7117]

Dirty Hobo Wizard was pretty good too :D

[@ekki6820]

This guy's voice is boner fuel. Not gonna lie.

[@jellyfish1452]

Just wow 😂😂😂

[@NeroMystyra]

What this video has taught me is that having Liam O'Brien's voice means getting to voice all the badasses of the anime and video game industry. What a lucky guy lol. I wouldn't be surprised if i hear his voice when i meet the Final boss of Final Fantasy XV.

[@megaboss8140]

Daren DePaul is awesome in his own way as Ardyn Izunia.

[@QRyan707]

He actually voices the inkeep in lestallum!

[@drsatanrx]

I wouldnt say ALL the badasses. But he definitely gets quite a few roles like that

[@AgeChanee]

imagine he did yasuo's lol

[@tylerdeleon6531]

I can only hear Gaara

[@Immortal_Hatake]

Me too

[@Dr.Farewell]

+Kaneki Ken They know that...

[@unicornnatsubean1658]

Same here😂😂😂😘😘😝😝

[@guestguest8523]

Tyler DeLeon me too 😊

[@Eg0n97]

I can only hear the ISA commander from Black Ops 2. Except, it wasn't brought up in the video.

[@chrissy93x]

Liam O'Brien is a legend among voice actors he's been in so many fantastic games i never knew he voiced in World of Warcraft i always thought Illidan sounded familiar never knew who actually voiced him until now :P I'm currently playing Final Fantasy 13 part 2 and i thought Caius was War's voice actor from Darksiders they sound so similar :P i loved War in darksiders such a great game!

[@Mejoree113]

He does have a number of different voices that he uses, but I think he gets typecast a lot. Tge same thing happens to a lot of voice actors, they have their 'voice' that they are known for and they get hired to replicate it.

[@ShaunInce123]

Liam O'Brien is awesome.

[@angelahooper4779]

after only really hearing of Liam O'Brien from critical role, I never truly realized how sexy his voice is... 😍

[@actually_a_catt]

He voices Gaara who is admitedly my anime husband. So watching critical role has just been ugh amazing. His voice is a lovely serenade

[@nohulse]

His voice is as sexy as your face 😍

[@58632hhhh]

I particularly enjoyed 3 his voice-acting roles over others. 3.) Gaara 2.) Asura 1.) War (My personal favorite character out of all his voice-animation roles)

[@jazelgalaviz9450]

yessss warrrrrr

[@tronolontheone1569]

I agree all around

[@DragonGod24]

These 3 are also my favorite of his. Hell yes. Kain Highwind and Illidan (WoW) too.

[@deadlywork]

Grimoire Weiss is his best role by far.

[@zxcasf]

"I always hated cookbooks"

[@ColdNorth0628]

i also enjoyed leviathan

[@Takemetoaride]

agreed

[@stepanmosh]

when I hear his voice...Weiss comes up in my head immediately

[@user-eg3fb3gm6f]

I agree

[@CalvinthyAwesome]

A yes the three voices “Angry” “Liam O’Brian” And “Breathy knife pervert”

[@Evilriku13]

and cunning wise bustard!

[@rasdan1192]

He is well fitted as a calm and composed villain.

[@kenodressel6961]

I love how laura is in at least two of the clips. Two legends at work

[@chirpbirds924]

I think a couple were Ashley.

[@whooah]

They were in nier together no?

[@stormbringer7773]

I swear Liam O'Brien would be the perfect man to voice Zamasu in the english dub for DB Super.

[@fpberserk4690]

Storm Bringer777 I agree with that.

[@Jeffk1]

True. That.

[@thedude3065]

I'd like Liam to voice Jiren the Gray

[@BardockSkywalker]

@@thedude3065 I Would Like That To, But For What I'm Aware, Ragna The Blooded- I Mean, DIO Brand- I Mean, Count Dracul- I Mean Hect- I Mean Frank- I Mean Patrick Seitz

[@GAS.MASK1]

Better yet Jiren

[@GalaxyRoyal]

7:50 I see where Liam O'Brien did that special British accent for Laslow (Inigo) in Fire Emblem Fates just for attracting girls and making it much more charming! XD

[@chancekealoha164]

Gotta love that certain...elegance Liam voice has in most of his roles. Especially when he played Grimoire Weiss I loved the party banters in NIER with Weiss. Always a laugh to be had from those.

[@TehBluPanda]

I prefer his role as Vax in Critical Role

[@basilcormier5876]

Caleb is good too

[@3N3MYKN1GHT]

pretty sure its just yasuo minus the HASAKI

Ahhh that’s too great

[@lovipoekimo176]

His voice is so sexy! My favorite is his character as War in Darksiders.

[@BlueSpiritFire1]

Mmmmhm. 100% in agreement with you. Also, Kain and Caius are two more of my favourites.

[@timothyfox6223]

His voice in that game is what put him on the map for me. Really like his work.

[@BlueSpiritFire1]

Yasuo's good too, but i prefer some of the others. Still, it's good to hear him in Summoner's Rift :D

[@SwagbitoUchiha]

Caius, Gaara, and Weiss. Man, Weiss is awesome.

[@dulceg9657]

That's my second favorite! Mi first is Caius Ballad.

[@SHADOWASH7]

Liam gets big bonus points for voicing my favorite video game character which is Akihiko Sanada.

[@_r0n1n15]

Been waiting for this comment

[@colourriot3520]

All I could think in the Dead or Alive 5 clip was 'twiiiinnnnnnns' the second Laura Bailey spoke

[@Wargablarg]

"And I walk away."

[@battheman777]

War and Caius. The best voice he does, hands down.

[@sergiougazio7976]

Grimoire Weiss from Nier is freaking good too

[@viper22jc]

and Asura

Probably he unleash his anger for become voice actor in asura's wrath

You are not prepared.

[@Astraldymensions]

My personal fave is Caius. His voice coupled with the demonic godly look of Caius was amazing. When he spoke it was like he spoke beyond time itself.

[@lollolrk]

Well, my Fav O'Brian voive does not come from a game, but from a anime, Hellsing Ultimate. He's voice of Old Walther is amazing. Love it sooo much.

[@spacecowboyeddie6803]

Old Walter is voiced by British actor Ralph Lister. Liam O’Brien voices young adult Walter towards the end of the series.

[@WillieManga]

He's like the Tom Kenny of RPGs. He's where you'd expect him to be, and sometimes where you wouldn't. But even with the range of talent, you're likely to recognize him.

Don't forget that he ALSO voiced (to my knowledge): - Dimitri Allen - Professor Layton and the Unwound Future - Leviathan - Skullgirls

[@AsheDuran]

When I heard Yasuo I was like " ILLIDAN! WTF ARE YOU DOING HERE?" XD

[@anarathaminsawthecitygiver9569]

i think i would have thought the same if i didn't know before hand.

[@joshuariddensdale2126]

I first heard him as the voice of Nephrite in the Viz dub of Sailor Moon. But he played Caius Ballad to perfection. He has also voiced Infinite in Sonic Forces.

[@pineapplefarmer7352]

This guy is brilliant. Just brilliant.

[@ThatRandomDude204]

I swear him and Yuri Lowenthal are in every game and animated series I'm watching

[@brianicochea2543]

The best performance of Lyam in my Opinión: Caius in Final Fantasy XIII-2. I'm glad that they choose him for that character. Just love it.

[@armanozyurt5051]

Yes as a Caius, Lyam made an amazing performance and the voice suits perfectly to Caius and his tragic story and personality

[@fastfox57]

*I AM NOT WEAK!!!* (And yes, I know this was uploaded way before Sonic Forces was announced and before Infinite was Announced)

Asura from Asura's Wrath, Llyod from Code Geass is a close second but that is an anime role.

[@bul34]

I had no idea that Gaara had the same voice actor as Yasuo

[@jackiedim7028]

Liam O'Brien the one who voiced epic characters throughout gaming and anime history His best are Illidan stormrage(WOW) Asura(Asura's wrath) War(Darksiders) Yasuo(LOL) Gaara(Naruto) Caius Ballad(FF) Grimoire Weiss(Neir) etc.... I can talk to Liam O'Brien all day with his illidan voice and never get bored

[@imachiruchan]

I love his voice soooooo much! I hope he could be in more games so that I can enjoy his voice. Nowadays, I can't find him in the game I purchased or I want to purchase. So sad :(

[@KOU_Higashikata]

his voice is so special..i'd say his voice is very suitable for "japanese or chinese who speak in english" XD

Wait... So he voices 2 Final Fantasy characters? Thats saying alot!

[@ArinJager1]

War, Caius and Grimoire Weiss... if I had to pick 3 of his best works (Illidan would be honorary mention) [ his work I'm familiar with, I mean ]

[@CATELlegend1]

He did Akihiko's voice in persona 3 as well

[@KuDastardly]

You know, if The Labyrinth was to ever be made into a game or an animated series, I bet he'd be awesome playing the character Jareth. :3

[@jinxglow6695]

OMG I’m not the only person who has ever thought of that!

[@pheophonix1832]

the way he also voices infinite in sonic forces and infinite matches the vibe of like most of these characters LMAOO

[@SaigaTenshi]

his normal voice can voice many characters... now thats what we call a voice acting :3

[@LadyINTJOfficial]

He voiced Cent from Drakengard 3 and Grimoire Weiss. I love his work.

[@lebiyooo]

Lezard Valeth since it was the first time I actually pay attention to the voice actors (and I love Lezard's creepy laughter) nonetheless, Liam O'Brien is probably the only VA who I can recognize with just one word spoken. Guy's got awesome voice

[@kaileymo]

He has that silky, arrogant, transatlantic kind of voice that makes a perfect villain 💖

[@insertunoriginalnamehere1300]

when you hear that trademark Gaara tone, you know it's him.

He sounds really cool. He should probably be the voice of Zamasu for DBS.

Loved him as Grimoire Weiss, Kain Highwind, War and David. He has one of the best voices! Deep and emotional

[@eggboy1421]

IMO it's best as War for some reason, I don't know why but it's my favorite take on his voice for me.

[@solbadguy7771]

I feel like Liam O'Brian would sound better voicing Vergil than sanctus

Lezard Valeth was his best role, closely followed by Dist. The original Illidan was better IMO though Liam did some other roles well. Matthew Yang King nailed Illidan.

[@elenaperales5411]

His voice is so smooth and elegant sometimes depends on his character

[@thecharluc]

his best roles were Gaara, Akihiko and Gilland & for the next i would vote for Crispen Freeman
