Stan's voice actor

edited December 2009 in Tales of Monkey Island
Does anyone know who Stan's voice will be provided by? I ask because I'm hoping it'll be the same guy who provided it in CMI (Patrick Pinney) :D

I'm sure whoever it is will be good... the only bad (read: less than excellent) voice-over from ToMI so far has been the undead LeChuck from the first chapter imo.

    If not, my vote goes to the guy who voiced B.O.B. from C.O.P.S. from Sam and Max. He has a great salesman's voice.

    im sure they have a diffrent voice actor from the other MI games. just need a typical saleman voice really unlike murray or guybrush who have kept the ame actors all the way thru there isnt really one voice for stan
  • edited October 2009
    I imagine they will probably get Patrick Pinney to reprise his role. So far telltale have favored the CMI cast and so have LucasArts with SoMI:SE.

    I would'nt mind if it were the guy from EMI. seriously, he wasn't that bad.
  • edited October 2009
    I agree. CMI had a better one, that doesnt mean EMI stan was bad, just not as good
  • edited October 2009
    Is Patrick Pinney a relative of Joe Pinney?
  • edited October 2009
    I actually liked EMI Stan voice actor more than CMI Stan voice actor. Better suited for a man with hyper-active hands, IMO.

    I hope Stan will have his voice from CMI, but I hope he doesn't talk like in SMI:SE (too slowly!).

    Alternatively, I'd like SilverWolfPet to voice Stan! :)

    If they keep the insane arm flailing from MI1 and MI2, I'd say EMI Stan would fit better.

    In one blog post, Jake already said that it will be one of the old voice actors, can't remember who though, and can't find the post anymore.

    I don't update the blog that often, and I didn't say that. And its a new guy. And he's fast talkin'.

    New Stan. Got it.
    My ideal Stan portrayal was sortof with the voice of CMI and the dialogue inflictions of EMI. I hope this Stan falls into that category.

    The best Stan performance so far was in CMI, in SMI he wasn't as good, he talked a bit too slow. EMI Stan was great but a bit too hyper and different from the CMI voice that I'd gotten used to.
    Can't wait for episode 4 guys.
    :)

    Everyone talked slow in SMISE because they didn't want to put the extra programming time into shortening the reading-time based gaps between dialogue lines between the original and SE versions within the game. The pauses are because in the normal edition you need longer to read it.
  • edited October 2009
    I liked Escape's Stan but he sounded a little too game show hosty for me...
  • edited October 2009
    I prefer the CMI one with his convincing bass voice (kinda like a radio dj or something like that).
    But the EMI one was also quite funny and energic: "This deal won't last!"
    I'd sure like to hear something of both in that new voice.
    It makes me very curious ^^

    I'd love to see Silverwolfpet in a monkey island game :p

    I don't like the new voice at all.. too bad, because it really made the character in the other games.. I liked the SoMI: SE voice..
  • edited October 2009
    His voice seems, well, not like Stan, by that I mean doesn't suit his looks, his Curse/SMI: SE voice would of been best for this.
  • edited October 2009
    His best voice was in Le Chuck's Revenge!
  • edited October 2009
    I totally called that it would be the voice actor who played B.O.B. in Sam and Max. I thought it fit fine. The other VA just didn't talk fast enough.
  • edited October 2009
    I've loved this series so far, especially its fidelity to MI3. I'm kind of sad that they didn't get Pat Pinney, as he is far and away the best Stan ever. The new voice actor for Stan is so very, very wrong -- it's sad. :(

    I usually don't comment on choices, but lemme just say that Stan's current voice really grew on me a lot. I feel like he really got a lot of character into the voice beyond the basic caricature.

    I'd have to agree with this. At first i thought it didn't suit him (i'm WAY too used to Curse stan's voice, after completing it 8 odd times)But it's really starting to grow on me. It really suits what he is like now.

    Oh, and i think you got the model spot on too.
  • edited October 2009
    When I heard it was a new actor I thought "He's gonna suck" but after hearing him, I really like the new voice. It's different but in a good way. Not like EMI Stan, ehh....
  • edited October 2009
    It definitely is not bad its different and im sure I will get used to it and like it just fine.... it was the same with adjusting to the new sam and max voices now I like them better than the originals
  • edited October 2009
    i personally LOVE the stan voice this game around
  • edited October 2009
    Are you kidding me? He doesn't have any of the sleezy, gameshow host, salesman qualities that made Stan a completely lovable character from Curse and Escape! I have to say, they brought back Murray magnificantly - great model, great same voice acting.

    But Stan's been completely wrecked - completely flat voice acting, expressionless face, terrible model (including black hair instead of brown), and his arms should be moving twice as fast. ffs, he looks like he's trying to stroke the atmosphere, not make a pitch.

    Unbelievable - this is the one character apart from Murray they'd get right. I'm sorely disappointed.

    My PC can't handle TMI. Can't someone upload a small sample of his voice on Youtube? :(

    Wrong on all points. And not trying to attack you, but your username captures your attitude perfectly. Butthurt. I mean, his arms should be moving twice as fast? What kind of a complaint is that?
  • edited October 2009
    I don't care what anybody else says, this is now my favorite Stan voice. This is exactly the sort of voice I had always pictured him having.
  • edited October 2009
    I'm not too crazy about the new guy, in either direction. His Curse voice was much better, but this guy isn't bad. He isn't good either though.
  • edited October 2009
    I loved the new voiceactor! Thought he fit the role perfectly.
    With characters like Stan and The Voodoo Lady, I believe its fully acceptable to juggle around with different voice actors for each game,
    BUT characters like Guybrush, Elaine, Lechuck and Murray is a different story; Cause it aint the same without Dominic, Alexandra, Earl and Denny.
    I cant put it in words how happy I am that Telltale managed to get them all back! :)
  • edited October 2009
    I actually like the new voice - I thought it suited him really well. Especially as, the first time I heard Curse-Stan back in '95, I thought he was incredibly slow and didn't fit Stan at all.

    However, my little brother, once he heard this, vehemently denied this was the case. He insists Telltale should have brought back one of the previous voices, and got very angry with me for daring to suggest the new guy was okay. xD
