Astarion: centuries of anguish - Shadowheart: a decade of unseen torment boiling to the surface - Karlach: literally going through hell- Wyll: the pain of sacrifice - Laezel: the betrayal of her most cherished beliefs - Gale: kinda grumpy, maybe even slightly miffed.
Can we all appreciate they had the foresight that players might reclass all origin characters into barbarians. They actually had variations for everyone, that's crazy!
I mean, she was tormented for four decades, made to do terrible things while her memories were routinely taken from her. The rage really suits her. Its why I am currently playing her as a wildheart barbarian
I think of all the best second is ShadowHeart ... Karlach barb shout was the best.. That PURE EMOTIONAL RAGE SHE SHOUT MAKE My heart rage when one of my companions are down 😂
everyone is talking about the voices but can we all appreciate the sound effect itself? It feels so powerful that it gives me the shivers I especially like the last moment of the pre-cast sound, like a hyper-fast beating heart... It feels so strong that you can almost touch the force.
I think of all the best... Karlach barb shout was the best.. That PURE EMOTIONAL RAGE SHE SHOUT MAKE My heart rage when one of my companions are down 😂
Gosh I absolutely love how Barbarian Rage is done in this game, from the ground shattering beneath your feet to the battle cry as your character rouses their temper and fury.
A literal force of nature, my Barbarian Dragonborn is one such beasts. I like how Raphael comments on my Dragonborn saying it looks like my race and such only to say “It speaks like a beast” 😂 like, no shit, he is.
Wait I did not realize durge had a unique rage sound. My first playthrough was durge and I went oathbreaker/berserker. Screaming was always SO satisfying. That voice NAILED it
For the record: when the characters enter their rage... the Axe teleports from their left hand to their right. You can no longer un-see this. You're welcome.
@@Shaman4YOU Karlach as Rogue is extremely funny too. She has all these lines about how she's not made for stealth and I'm like, "girl, you're a rogue now, get over it." Honour Mode is a blast respecing them into the most unfitting classes. Paladin Astarion still hasn't broken his oath somehow. I don't play him honourably at all, but somehow the oath still holds lol.
Coming back here to comment: Minthara has THE BEST RAGE ROAR I've heard in this game. Can't find any audio clip online, but everyone should check it out. Definitely belongs in this awesome video. Thanks for your work
Vicious Mockery next please! I think there are probably too many to include all of them but at least a few samples would be nice. Im curious to the origin characters using it mostly.
went looking for the voice lines for spells and found your channel - i adore your work so much. this kind of archival stuff is so wonderful, especially for sound design oh i love it
For anyone whose reading this: barbarian/rogue is a VERY viable multiclass, and the Dark Justiciar armour is a medium armour, which barbs can wear. Something to consider if you respec Astarion and Shadowheart as barbarians! : D (Also, and as a morally righteous Zariel Tiefling, Karlach actually makes for a great Paladin)
V1 has the best overall set but v3 c will always be my favorite when something emotionally happens. The amount of anger panic or fear in it makes those moments better.
Props to the VA's and the devs to think ahead and props to the mad lad sitting thru all the characters, respecs, reloads, just to hear all the variations
My god... I never considered. I never once thought of them having to record this. The idea of a Barbarian Gale is sending me over the edge I'm McLosing it
S+ tier: Voice 1. The first one I ever heard when Barb came out in EA, and it's still my absolute favorite of them all. S tier: Shadowheart, voice 4. These will be my go-to's for any future playthroughs with a female barbarian A tier: Karlach, Astarion, voice 6, voice 2. Respectable performances overall, at worst I'd say there's only one scream from each that aren't too fantastic. B tier: Voice 5, Lae'zel. Not great, not terrible, wouldn't be outright opposed to playing these as barbarians, but I'd still prefer some of the higher tier ones. C tier: Voice 3, voice 7, voice 8, Wyll. Not too fond of these tbh, I can tell they tried but they're either too short, too quiet, or just straight up sound goofy. D tier: Gale. Just stick to spellcasting, man...
How interesting! My S+ tier is voice 3 by far, that rage sound like an emotional rage I feel like my character is really getting angry and not casting rage, S tier is voice 7 a calm rage something I can see a barbarian chieftain with high wisdom doing, and C tier for voice 1 all of the screams sound the same it's like he's casting rage and not really getting angry. That proves that larian nailed those screams.
Тем временем в студии звукозаписи Larian - "Представь, что ты наиграл 100 часов в надежде забрать Хальсина к себе в отряд. Но он просто сидит в лагере, как нпс"
I swear there must be at least 1 more rage scream for Karlach It's not here, but I love the one that's more guttural, it starts with a lower rumble in her voice, kind of like her rage in the fake paladins quest
Brb, respeccing Shadowheart into a Barberic (kidding, but I'm definitely gonna do it sometime; her and Astarion's actors just hit it out of the park. Gale's too, but in the sense that it's HILARIOUS. Exactly as OOC-sounding as it should be.)
Figured laezels would be alot more violent. Feel like her vo is still holding back a bit. It's a barbarian scream. say fuck it and go all out like karlach and shadowheart's vos lmao
Omg, Gale's screams are too funny... I might do a run with him as barb just because I can. xD (maybe adding some of the beefier companion characters as sneak builds on top because they tend to have lines that reflect that they're not made to be stealthy, haha)
Hey everyone! I'm voice 1! Thanks for the lovely words ❤
ur amazing man, ur voice is built for barbarian rage ♥️
You made my Dragonborn Barbarian look like an absolute menace out on the battlefied, thank you!
You have the same intensity as Hugh Jackman doing the Woverine rage. Badassery sir at its finest.
your barb scream is insane
u are so good man
astarion: [channels centuries of torment into a primal scream]
gale: [remembers that one time he forgot to return a library book]
REEEEEE
Okay but Gale’s 4th one is coming straight from the fucking void on his chest 😂
@@Aemulator. That's Gale remembering the pain of that one time he accidentally dropped a library book into a chasm.
THIS COMMENT IS SENDING MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
@@Aemulator. It's the only scream that actually sounds like a barbarian 😂
I applaud Tim for making the screams sound like I imagine Gale sounds if you don't stop licking the damn spider
The noises of a man who tried and failed to rizz you up by offering you magic sex
Gale sounds like he stubbed his toe honestly
@@SergeantDaynes nerd rage from Fallout looks exactly like that
Astarion: centuries of anguish - Shadowheart: a decade of unseen torment boiling to the surface - Karlach: literally going through hell- Wyll: the pain of sacrifice - Laezel: the betrayal of her most cherished beliefs - Gale: kinda grumpy, maybe even slightly miffed.
Gale just stepped on a lego brick.
For Shadowheart, it’s actually more than a decade since she’s about 45.
Gale if taken seriously: the agony of self consuming destruction
That's why I love that sweet idiot
Gale's description also fits how he reacts to having his hand cut off.
I think Shadowheart's VA had bills to pay when she recorded those screams.
She killed her entire performance
Can we all appreciate they had the foresight that players might reclass all origin characters into barbarians. They actually had variations for everyone, that's crazy!
Or multiclass!
I just want to say, they made multiple vocal spell incations for every spell tht requires vocal component Tav voice and origin character
Every Origin character has the appropriate voice lines to be literally any class. Including Vicious Mockery lines for Bards!
@@Blazieth Hell yeah, the Vicious Mockery lines are fantastic.
@@BlaziethI think I’m going to have to make an Astarion bard… for science…
Shadowheart screams like she really needed that lmao
she 100% did lmao
She always scream like she needs it, not just in barbarian rage but any melee hit lol
Voice 1 absolutely fucking KILLED it.
They did indeed. There's something so primal, the rage comes from the guts themselves. Makes you feel hyped to FUCKING KILL SOMEONE
If you like that you should make Halsin a berserker. He also screams his lungs out!
Voice 1 sounds too young imho, but the screams are good.
@@vilxxblack2472 it does not match with a half orc, but perhaps a young human.
Halsin best barbarian
I didn't knew Shadowheart had it in her!.
Gale should stick with magic 😂
For real, I went in thinking Lae'zael would take the cake, but holy shit, Shadowheart just went fucking nuts. Homegirl has unaddressed anger issues.
I mean, he's a wizard, he's doing his best lol
Gale be like (ah...)
Shadowheart scream like a true banshee
I mean, she was tormented for four decades, made to do terrible things while her memories were routinely taken from her. The rage really suits her.
Its why I am currently playing her as a wildheart barbarian
gale's rage scream is so funny i just can't-
he is like not even in rage, just a lil bit angry😭
his rage screams kinda sound like Geralt from The Witcher 😭
"Uggggh!"
No no no, he not angry, he angy XD
"I'm...quite perturbed currently, thank you very much."
Most barbarian screams: “I WOULD LIKE TO RAGE!”
Gale: “i angy”
Gale isn't raging, he just stubbed his toe and spilled tea on a library book.
Voices 2-7: *yells a little loud but dont wanna disturb the neighbour's*
Voice 1 and 8: *literally watches their family grt slaughtered in the studio*
9 minutes for us, 20 hours of loading screens for him
This game's sound design is an underappreciated aspect. Fucking eldritch blast? Fireball? Call Lightning? Glorious sonic architecture
DOL
Finger of death
have you heard all the monk sound design? genuine art
Divine Smite sound *chef kiss*
And the music man. It’s as diverse as the game itself and so damn memorable
Shadowheart's scream sounds like 10 years of pentup rage finally unleashed.
40 years more like iykyk
I think of all the best second is ShadowHeart ... Karlach barb shout was the best.. That PURE EMOTIONAL RAGE SHE SHOUT MAKE My heart rage when one of my companions are down 😂
Shadowheart has one the best rages. Surprised tf outta me
everyone is talking about the voices but can we all appreciate the sound effect itself? It feels so powerful that it gives me the shivers
I especially like the last moment of the pre-cast sound, like a hyper-fast beating heart... It feels so strong that you can almost touch the force.
Karlach's first scream of rage made me fall for her
Her scream of rage, with that bassy rumbling sound effect just makes it sound so fucking COOL
Karlach A for life ❤
Her raging screams as you hear her engine starting up, and the contrast of that with how sweet she is out of combat, definitely makes her S-tier.
I think of all the best... Karlach barb shout was the best.. That PURE EMOTIONAL RAGE SHE SHOUT MAKE My heart rage when one of my companions are down 😂
When she was giddy talking about the different demons❤❤😌
GALE'S RAGE IS HILARIOUS HE IS NOT FIT FOR THIS AT ALL
Holy hell Shadowheart can do some crazy rage screams. This is awesome.
That range of expression was incredible! Jennifer English did a fantastic job
It would've been cool If Dark Urge just laughed maniacally.
Voice 7 fits pretty well
I don't think Urge has his unique voice, he defaults to 3 or 5
It defaults to Voice 5 I believe, could be wrong.@@quill9648
Gosh I absolutely love how Barbarian Rage is done in this game, from the ground shattering beneath your feet to the battle cry as your character rouses their temper and fury.

I like how Raphael comments on my Dragonborn saying it looks like my race and such only to say “It speaks like a beast” 😂 like, no shit, he is.
Voice 1 is so good, I legit got a bit intimidated when I first heard it lmao
Same lol. It was a enemy encounter and he actually made me nervous enough to focus on killing him fitst. Love these raw genuine first experiences.
Aha, thank-you!
how you hear your own voice 0:02
how it sounds on the recording 5:02
I cackled
😂😂😂
From voice 1, thank-you 🤣
"aaa" Gale said calmly.
V1 is great, but damn, i did not expect SH to sound SO good. I almost want to restart my barb playthrough as her.
Barbarian Cleric spreading the word of her god by smashing it into people’s heads 😭
I like how gale's B version sounds like he's casting a spell of rage on himself
Gale's roar is so goofy.
Voice 1 is awesome, Halsin is the only companion that screams like that, just deeper.
Thanks so much!
I liked the part where someone was screaming
Well when u rage irl you don't meow do you?
yea that part was definitely the best
Exactly what I wanted. Voice 1 is my pick. So hype hearing it in game. Barbarian not as fun on tabletop but this rage totally makes it in game
No wonder, Voice 1 does sound the best for male characters, even though I personally like the speaking tone of Voice 7 the most.
Thank-you so much 😭
@@subject8776 thank-you ❤
Astarion & Shart surprises me especially the latter 😮. Gale is funny af lmao
Did you just call her Shart?
Astarion and SH has some pretty good screams ngl
I know that people make fun of Gale’s scream, but I think his fourth one is actually pretty good.
That one actually sounds enraged. The others sound like he stubbed his toe on accident.
Wait I did not realize durge had a unique rage sound. My first playthrough was durge and I went oathbreaker/berserker. Screaming was always SO satisfying. That voice NAILED it
Shadowheart sounds fucking feral and I love it. Yes gurl, let that rage out!
For the record: when the characters enter their rage... the Axe teleports from their left hand to their right.
You can no longer un-see this. You're welcome.
By Princess Bride logic, this makes sense.
@@TrairFrair this is the best comment here
Aren’t they just tossing it?
They fixed that
Youuuu…….sausage. Now that’s all i can see
Yeah, Voice 1 is definitely the best male version, damn.
I adore Gale's rage noises. Who in the right mind turns the Wizard origin into a Barbarian!?
Me
He absolutely kills it as Barb/Fighter
I question the wisdom of that decision but so be it
@@norelle28but… but… literally everyone else in the party would make just as good if not better barb/fighter… why him?
@@Shaman4YOU So we can see those abs
@@Shaman4YOU Karlach as Rogue is extremely funny too. She has all these lines about how she's not made for stealth and I'm like, "girl, you're a rogue now, get over it."
Honour Mode is a blast respecing them into the most unfitting classes.
Paladin Astarion still hasn't broken his oath somehow. I don't play him honourably at all, but somehow the oath still holds lol.
4:51 when someone buys the last copy of Etheril's Enchiridion of Enchanting Easements, First Edition
Gale screams in lower case and that’s funny to me, he sounds more frustrated than enraged
i was about to say "astarion's D is so good" but then i stopped myself before hitting send. anyways i love his fourth scream.
Oh Jesus, voice 1 it is!
I just want to add how the Rage animation made want to play a barbarian
Gale is just forcing himself to be mad at something to cast rage lmao
Coming back here to comment:
Minthara has THE BEST RAGE ROAR I've heard in this game. Can't find any audio clip online, but everyone should check it out. Definitely belongs in this awesome video. Thanks for your work
Yeah we're missing Halsin and Minthara :(, I bet they sound great
There are clips of them now, and you can tell Minthara's VA does WH40k audio dramas. She sounds like she'll rip your face off for the Emperor!
Different rage types have a different effect sounds too. Eagle rage has an eagle screech!
voice one is dope but nobody's talking about shadowhearts guttural roar????
she needed to get some of that off her chest for sure
Vicious Mockery next please! I think there are probably too many to include all of them but at least a few samples would be nice. Im curious to the origin characters using it mostly.
Yo shadowheart forgot Shar man let's go join slipknot.
went looking for the voice lines for spells and found your channel - i adore your work so much. this kind of archival stuff is so wonderful, especially for sound design oh i love it
Jennifer English's and Devora Wilde's screams are genuinely scary.
Haven't heard most of those, thanks for compiling my good dude :)
Gale be like: IM ANGY!!! (not angry, angy lol)
Voice 1 and Voice 2 were amazing.
Ok I might need to play Shadowheart as a barbarian after this
For anyone whose reading this: barbarian/rogue is a VERY viable multiclass, and the Dark Justiciar armour is a medium armour, which barbs can wear. Something to consider if you respec Astarion and Shadowheart as barbarians! : D

Best of Karlach's for sure. Her B and C are underwhelming imo.
My god... I never considered. I never once thought of them having to record this. The idea of a Barbarian Gale is sending me over the edge I'm McLosing it
Omg, I just realised that the weapon switches hands during the screams XD
God, Astarion's VA is SOOOOOO GOOD!
Someone needs to mod Kratos' Spartan Rage roar onto the Dark Urge. It would fit so well
Astarion is surprisingly good!
Channeling those two hundred years of pain and hatred
voice 1 is by far the best one for custom barbarian
Thanks! I usually go with Voice 1, but I think Voice 3 perfectly encompasses the nettled, violent drunk vibe I want for my next playthrough
The sounds and voices in this game hitting different😳
The entire "sound team" made a perfect job
S+ tier: Voice 1. The first one I ever heard when Barb came out in EA, and it's still my absolute favorite of them all.
S tier: Shadowheart, voice 4. These will be my go-to's for any future playthroughs with a female barbarian
A tier: Karlach, Astarion, voice 6, voice 2. Respectable performances overall, at worst I'd say there's only one scream from each that aren't too fantastic.
B tier: Voice 5, Lae'zel. Not great, not terrible, wouldn't be outright opposed to playing these as barbarians, but I'd still prefer some of the higher tier ones.
C tier: Voice 3, voice 7, voice 8, Wyll. Not too fond of these tbh, I can tell they tried but they're either too short, too quiet, or just straight up sound goofy.

That proves that larian nailed those screams.
I thought voice 2 sounded a lot better than 4 but people have their opinions
Voice 1 is literally what I think when I imagine barbarian rage, none of the other voices come close
S++ tier: Travis Willingham.
@@AcrysalisExcept for Shadowheart, her screams freaking slaps.

I love how gale sounds so nerd even in rage
I swear there must be at least 1 more rage scream for Karlach
It's not here, but I love the one that's more guttural, it starts with a lower rumble in her voice, kind of like her rage in the fake paladins quest
Thank you for posting this!

Karlachs first scream is so fucking good, i get goosebumps when i hear it in game
omg Voice 1 touched me deeply
thank you so much for putting this out here
I love watching Durge yell lmao. Little lizard mouth go :V
gale's rage skill is probably called Very Pronounced Annoyance and i love that for him.
Didnt expect Astarion to sound so good. But it kinda makes sense, unleashing the feral side of his vampirism.
Doing these as as a VA must have felt cathartic.
And left you with a sore throat lol
I thought it was going to be Voice 8 for me until i got to SH A D O W H E A R T
I'm definitely using these on my dnd sessions for my barbarian
Neil Newbon reliving his time as Heisenberg I see
Figured laezels would be alot more violent. Feel like her vo is still holding back a bit. It's a barbarian scream. say fuck it and go all out like karlach and shadowheart's vos lmao
I KNOW shadowheart’s VA lost her voice from this
Maybe Lae'zel's isn't great because her upbringing made her a well-disciplined soldier vs a rage machine.
@@pajamawolfie maybe its because her vo didn't care that much and ur reading too much into it and giving credit where it isnt due lol
@@horsepuncher421 I probably am
Okay TO BE FAIR, gale had ONE good rage on his last one, was pleasantly surprised
I found out every character has five voiceclips, which were not shown here.
I picked voice line 1 on my first play through. It’s definitely the one.
Shadowheart just keeps killin it! easily my favorite after this one lol.
For me 3 takes the cake. It feels more gutteral. 1 is pure anger but 3 is a nice mix of anger with a spreinkle of pain and despair.
я тоже думаю что голос 3 недооценён, он звучит так болезненно, будто у него камни из почек выходят
Shadowheart's VA must've gone through some devious shit at the time she recoded. Man, she screamed her soul out.
Gale is pretty in-character
I love Karlach's first scream ❤️
I love Voice 7 for me. I played my Durge with it just love it
im in love with shadowheart screams for some reason
As a regular Karlach user, there are quite a few screams that are really cool but there is something comforting about the OG barbarian mama K's cries.
Omg, Gale's screams are too funny... I might do a run with him as barb just because I can. xD
(maybe adding some of the beefier companion characters as sneak builds on top because they tend to have lines that reflect that they're not made to be stealthy, haha)
Sound design is a miracle.
Just as information: tav 8 is Tina Barnes, she is so great!
