I bet Micheal bell enters the recording studio saying :As I entered the recording studio, I saw simon templeman and tony jay. it was no surprise that the dialog for soul reaver 2 would be created.
"How ironic, that the three of us would provide voices for a future game we ourselves would not play. I was overwhelmed with the dawning horror that we were merely pawns for a bigger franchise..."
TLOU has great acting, so does RDR. But they both came out on the next generation of consoles. LoK takes itself seriously and is played totally straight. The focus on story and dialogue absolutely demand great voice performances in order for the player to take it seriously as well. This is also why the game is so deeply loved despite the combat being a bit simple. People who enjoy the video games uniqueness to deliver story via exploration of the setting appreciate the immersive element that voice acting provides.
I love the one where Rene, the voice for Janos, turns the page and gasps at the sheer amount he has to read. Michael bursts out laughing and Rene says "I need a minute to call my agent." to which Michael quips while still laughing, "He wants to get paid by the word now."
GO THROUGH THAT DOOR! Don't go through that door! *** hole don't go through that door! I cracked up XD Such fond memories of this series, pity they never really got to finish it properly...
So this is why their dialogue was so gooood. They were together, doing it. Makes such a difference vs standing in some meaningless booth, by yourself 0/
"...in the labyrinth..." Literally the tutorial section. Poor Michael, at least you can be content knowing you (literally) helped breathe life into this game.
I remember watching these on Soul Reaver 2 on Ps2 that was a great game! I remember getting stuck on it like Michael Bell and going back to it a year later and completed it lol I never beat Blood Omen 1 or Soul Reaver 1 just BO2, SR2 and Defiance. Waiting on a sequel Crystal Dynamics!!

oh man xd
LMAO, I read that with his voice.
i love this

Notice how Simon Templeman only had one outtake.
He's literally Kain.
My friend,i can see you lack some LoK dopamine in 2019 as well.Where is the new game!?It's unbearable!

There's more. He gets just as silly as Michael and René do

Even more impossible of altering destiny is winning a bake off.
@@NA1c158 As anyone who has ever seen the anime, Yakitate Japan, can attest to.
We will never get a game with such a great story and voice acting ever again.

“Janos, no! Oh that’s your line!” 😂
Man, back then Simon could had acted live action Kain too.
Rip Rene Auberjonois you will be missed.
He is gone?
I love that Rene is like 'Wtf is this even for? A video game?'
Imagine how they would react to Metal Gear Solid 4 in which a single cutscene was half an hour long. :P
@@ThePreciseClimber Doyle is Mobius and Big Boss.
"That's a lot of chat, isn't it?"
*Raziel struggles to play his own game*
Raziel’s Daughter: Dad I can do this!
Raziel: *lEaVe Me AlOnE!*
He got stucked 500 years in the Spectral Realm, two hours is nothing for him haha
"Death would be a release next to this travesty!"
@@haydenbennett3547 He didn't have Tony Jay over his shoulder, taunting him. That's either very good or very bad, depending on your perspective.
Janos: I'm dying, give me a break!
RIP Rene....
Always hilarious to think that Kain was twice the age of Raziel, but MIchael was twice the age of Simon.
Man, Simon looks young during these takes... and now I feel old
“First he takes my wings then he takes my unique resurrection. The man has no pity.”
Me unique resurrection
Raziel got stuck in the underworld for 2 hours?
In defiance he was there for 500 years!
lmao 🤍
Even six years later, I appreciate this post.
RIP, Tony Jay. You made for an excellent Elder God.
michael bell sounds like 25 years old lol
Lol! I love how he can change ages in his voice.
Kain and Raziel in the same room laughing.... :)
Really brings tears to my eyes.
I WANT NEW LEGACY OF KAIN GAME...NOW!!!!!!!!!!
So am I, still waiting....
Wow an 11 year old comment. Bet life is different now, but we always come back to this series.
Michael Bell, one of the most epic voices I've ever heard in my life. Perfect for a character such as Raziel.
Aww, I forgot René Auberjonois was in this. We lost him around the end of 2019 I think.
2 dislikes did not embrace their destiny that, alone, was theirs & theirs alone
Michael Bell is a gem
GO THROUGH THAT DOOR! Don't go through that door! *** hole don't go through that door!

This game had an amazing voice cast Michael Bell, the late great Tony Jay, and Simon Templeman to name a few!
Oh shit, Michael Bell knows about the chip!
I love these guys, esp. the late, great Tony Jay.
I remember seeing this and loving these actors. I grew with them and I still love them
3:27 that Raziel evil laugh sounds so sinister and insane
"I'm dying - give me a break!"😂😂😅
"...in the labyrinth..."
Literally the tutorial section. Poor Michael, at least you can be content knowing you (literally) helped breathe life into this game.
Godspeed Tony Jay and Rene Auberjonois.
Good Journey old friends.
And Paul Lukathor, voice of Vorador since the first game.
Epic voice cast...i miss this game so bad
"TRUST ME DOLL" - Raziel
I miss Raziel... 😞💙💖🌹

This is great. All the VA's look like they're all having fun and they all seem like they are really cool
Wow! I've hard Mike's voice in may cartoons for many years,he was the best! And yeah,I always admired Tony's vocals as well. RIP Tony.
What a gift that this was caught on camera. This is what made me want to be a voice actor, seeing these hijinks behind the scenes.
Here in 2024 excited to play the remasters
5:24 if the demons sounded like this in final version the meme's would've been epic
TEARS ON MY EYES
Greatest franchise ever made. Voice acting is superb.
The stench of death is in the air, did you just fart?
Me who just farted: 😮
Anyone even attempting to follow up these great titans of voice acting will pale in comparison. It just wouldn't be the same :/
I never even heard of this game until today, so why am I laughing so hard at this...!?
ha ha I love these guys it was so cool to find out Michael bell plays video games particularly legacy of kain
they have too :( Tony Jay ( Elder God voice actor ) died :( . His voice was soooo FITTING .
i love the game banter chat. the voice acting really awesome. ya i was just running around in the game.going nowhere
This is treasure. This is myth. This is Legends. Yet, i lived.
He will be reincarnated as the REAL Elder God.
"The agony of birth and death and rebirth - this is the Wheel of Fate"
So many good voice actors.
If my dad had a Templeman's voice, i trapped into my relentless agony of my own chapter.
The voice casting was amazing. Michael Bell was a great choice, I love his voice.
was great to see this again thank you lol :)
hey! don't go through that fucking door! pffft

3:30 imagine this in the remaster as a blooper reel like they did in bug's life film
I'd love to see this animated with sfm 😂
If you close your eyes you can almost picture raziel and the elder God in video game form welcoming you to the special feature
I remember watching these on Soul Reaver 2 on Ps2 that was a great game! I remember getting stuck on it like Michael Bell and going back to it a year later and completed it lol
I never beat Blood Omen 1 or Soul Reaver 1 just BO2, SR2 and Defiance. Waiting on a sequel Crystal Dynamics!!
I had no idea Janos was Constable Odo.

"I'm not gonna be able to say it... We'll have to change the whole story."
They are a stellar proof that to do any job well done, you also need to be smart.
Tony J is a legend
this is the exact moment in time where video games become art for the first time
Micheal bell's a trip
Chef's kiss
Not enough Simon Templeman! ;_;
RIP Tony...
Thanks for posting! =D
Man, I wish these were Animated in game. That would have been great.
The best Voice over team. Im pissed ht they have cancelled the 6th game.
I somehow dont see these in part of my PS2 outtakes section?
Michael Bell was in an episode of Three's Company...he was such a sleeze bag
I'd give anything to have any one of these actors voices...
I miss your wings...
I don't want to even think about that yet ;_;
Odo from deep space nine, 3:45
6:08 suddenly turns into David Tennant
1:37 Amy Hennig?
Yeah, as far as I know.
I hope thay make new soul reaver before Michael Bell will pass away.
Rene Auberjonois :)
odo
to think he played that priest in the patriot
Janos Audrin was once a priest during the American revolution He died tho (the movie the patriot from 2000)
He was a priest before that too. René was the original Father Mulcahy in the movie version of M*A*S*H.
Yo iz the people who played raziel,kain, and mobius still alive
