Telltale Games

So... Jerry Holkins, right? Do you think he's perfect, or will he be chosen just so that all the fans don't complain?

How do you imagine Tycho's voice sound? I always imagine him sounding like Randal from Clerks.

The Gentleman · 09/03/2010, 10:02 am

I seem to imagine him having Guybrush's voice.

That's how I picture Gabe!

As far as I'm convinced, Jerry Holkins is the only person who should ever voice Tycho. If Gabe appeared in this game: Mike Krahulik, natch.

If you're a fan of PA, you've probably listened to the audio podcasts and watched the documentary series. Mike and Jerry are Gabe and Tycho. The characters are so inseparable from their creators that it would just seem off to hear someone else voicing them.

If Jerry's not interested, I certainly wouldn't object to Tycho just speaking in word balloons, a la the two PA RPGs. If anything, large floating blocks of text would give Max or the Heavy something else to riddle with bullet holes.

Yeah, I've listened to their D&D podcast. They were pretty spot on.

Who said he was getting a voiceover? He'll probably get comic blurbs appearing over his head.

LuigiHann · 09/03/2010, 02:49 pm

I don't know about using Jerry for this. I listened to the audio podcasts for a while, and while I had no trouble accepting their voices as the voices of the writers, I definitely still have very different voices in my mind for the characters. I always imagine Tycho's voice to be quite a bit deeper than Jerry's.

Cyberlink420 · 09/03/2010, 05:13 pm

^ Likewise.

Considering we have yet to see Tycho's model OR hear his voice, it seems he'll be the character fans will devote the most attention to over the coming months...

Well, each reader imagines them differently. So Telltale really can't win. All they can do is use Jerry Holkins so that fans will complain less. I heard his voice too, and it's a bit different than what I imagine Tycho to sound.

LuigiHann · 09/03/2010, 09:02 pm

Yeah I definitely won't complain if it's Jerry, as that's the most straightforward choice, but I also won't complain if they use an actor as long as the voice reasonably fits the character's appearance and personality, and I think I'd prefer the latter myself, is all I'm sayin'

He'll be voiced by Andrew Chaikin/Kid Beyond, who also voiced a bunch of Tales of Monkey Island characters, including De Cava, Bugeye and McGillicutty. And he was the Narrator and the alien brain in The Devil's Playhouse, and Max in the first episode of Sam & Max season 1.

I'm pretty sure they were all him, but I'm not certain.

Secret Fawful · 09/06/2010, 08:23 pm

That'll be interesting to see.

Geez, nobody seems to catch the fact that Andrew was Papierwaite too.

Shwoo · 09/06/2010, 08:45 pm

Right. I haven't got the voice actors for season 3 memorised yet.

I'm not being snide, I usually do memorise the voice actors of things I like. I think he was one of the molemen in the room with the toybox as well?

Cheri · 09/06/2010, 08:46 pm

Yup, he was. And don't worry, I do the same with VAs too.

The Highway · 09/07/2010, 03:36 am

Yay! I can't think of a better guy than Andrew, his range is amazing!

LuigiHann · 09/07/2010, 09:36 am

YES

doggans · 09/07/2010, 10:29 am

If it's similar to his Bugeye voice, I'd say that's pretty much perfect. Even if not, I'm sure it'll be great.

Ribs · 09/07/2010, 05:02 pm

I'd like to point this out for the Coulton fans out there (*cough*ringmaster*cough*)
