Voice Acting Guesses/Update Thread
Get Claudia Black in there for whatever reason.
" Nolan North as everyone else for good measure. "Mafia II all over again! Woo!
" I could see Katherine either being Michelle Ruff or Wendee Lee. Yuri Lowenthal as Toby seems almost too easy. Liam O'Brien as Master? "yeah I want Liam as Master. I do want to see Nolan North in one of these roles, maybe that dude in the brown jacket...
I'm totally going to hate it if they do it, but I half expect Amanda Wynn Lee as Katherine.
I can see Jeff Kramer (York, right Zach?) as Jonathan.
" I can see Jeff Kramer (York, right Zach?) as Jonathan. "I think it'd be better if they just straight up put York in the game. Gotta put some sort of cameo in there to appeal to western audiences, right? ;)
" @DonutFever said:I think it should just be Deadly Premonition 2." I can see Jeff Kramer (York, right Zach?) as Jonathan. "I think it'd be better if they just straight up put York in the game. Gotta put some sort of cameo in there to appeal to western audiences, right? ;) "
but he was the mc in p3 and youske in p4 so i assume atlus will give him a call
" I honestly can't think of a good voice actress that would play Katherine... Hale's too tough. I dunno, someone who can really sell her, can't think of anyone. edit: Grey DeLisle, maybe? I'm just looking through wikipedia for voice actors at this point "Grey DeLisle is likely out of Atlus' budget. Same thing with Jennifer Hale (who could easily do it, as could Tara Strong). Susan Eisenberg would be great but unlikely.
I don't know what role he would play, but Steve Blum would be awesome. I could see Tara Strong in this as well.
This ( Anime Fans Give Back to Japan) was apparently the 24 hour live broadcast where the announcement was made, but there seems to be no recording of the show.
Edit:
Looks like later tonight it will be confirmed that Michelle Ruff is indeed Katherine.
Yep. Michelle Ruff = Katherine." This ( Anime Fans Give Back to Japan) was apparently the 24 hour live broadcast where the announcement was made, but there seems to be no recording of the show. Edit:Looks like later tonight it will be confirmed that Michelle Ruff is indeed Katherine. "
Nice job on the heads up, by the way. The reason for the confirmation is practically because of you.

So far, all the voice actors have played main characters in Persona games.
Oh wow, I had completely forgotten about my post in the Troy Baker thread:
@FluxWaveZ said:
I seemed to have forgotten who Michelle Ruff was but, checking her reel again just now, her official site seemed very familiar and I'm now way happier Michelle Ruff is Katherine. I can see her voice fitting the character very well." @ChrisTaran said:
" After some consideration, I think I would love Michelle Ruff for Catherine. "After listening to her reel... I don't know. She either sounds too young or too serious. Somehow, I could see her fitting Katherine more than Catherine. "
So far the cast has been great as far as I'm concerned. With the 3 main out of the way I expect the remaining cast to be just as well picked.
Think someone said they'd like Tracey Rooney (Chie) as Erica, I'd be more than fine with that.

That kind of bothers me, tbh. in Persona 4 they got a mostly all-new cast and they've been using that little army of VA they've built between P3 and 4 for everything since:/.
Still, I love Troy Baker and Laura Bailey and I think Michelle Ruff has only played in P3 as far as atlus VA'ing goes.

Valerie Arem is directing the voice work and I believe the company she works for and where the recordings are being done is PCB Productions.
Same company also did Persona 3 and 4.
Since manual lip-syncing is being used for Catherine, I think this is basically a confirmation that there won't be dual-audio like some people had hoped.

I'm glad Atlus choose to spend its localization budget wisely!/sickweabooburrrrnnnnnnnnn
Here is an interview with Michelle Ruff: http://www.siliconera.com/2011/03/29/michelle-ruff-on-her-experience-playing-katherine-in-catherine/
And another VA has revealed itself! Erin Fitzgerald of old school cartoon fame will be voicing Erica and a character called Trish.

Here are the roles she's played. I wanted Tracey Rooney, but I'm also glad Atlus isn't just pulling a Persona reunion.
Gamespot got some English scenes here:

Troy Baker does a good job, sounding less Kanji and more adult.
Michelle Ruff sounds a bit too young but I have only seen one scene where she talked.
Laura Bailey sounds pretty sexy.
The amount of sex that Laura Bailey put into the voice is amazing. I'M NOT COMPLAINING HNNNNGH
gonna agree with Flux and metal, Troy Baker's Vincent is fuckin' superb
Ruff's Katherine is .. I don't know what to think of it yet. :(
Liam O'Brien as Orlando.. Interesting. That makes four Persona VAs in this game so far that we know of- Akihiko and Yukari from Persona 3, and Kanji and Rise from Persona 4. Funny stuff; they're all 'grown up'!
Agreed with everyone, Troy is perfect and I think Laura Bailey nails it as well.
Michelle Ruff I thought was a good pick at first, but I'm not sure about her now. Sounds too young or something. I keep hearing Yukari too.
And I think Liam O'Brien as Orlando is amazing. My favorite after Troy and Laura.
Hm...?" @ChrisTaran: Hard to see with that clip but I'm really hoping Ruff doesn't do it all in her full stoic voice

I don't think her performance here is very stoic at all. I think people are just more used to her more lower pitched JP counterpart.
