I'd like to see this. That, or some sort of pitch control so we have minor tweaks to the current voices.

I know the feeling on this one. My MM, Dollmaster, is an android in the form of a 10 year old girl. Female voices are a little better than male in this case, but she still doesn't sound like a kid.
I'd like to see options like pitch, and a number of effects. Metallic echo for robots, growl undertone for beasts, and so forth.
At the risk of bringing up another game, Phantasy Star Universe had a simple yet awesome voice selector. You could preview the full selection, and I remember one of my favorite voices had several wicked-sounding laughs which my character used whenever they cast a spell. Made for a cool bit of personality, and makes me wish my Corruptor could let out a maniacal laugh every time I use Thunderous Blast >
The off-beat space pirate...Capt. Stormrider (50+3 Elec/Storm Science Corruptor)
The mysterious Djinn...Emerald Dervish (50+1 DB/DA Magic Stalker)
The psychotic inventor...Dollmaster (50 Bot/FF Tech Mastermind)
Virtue Forever.
wait, so would you prefer it to be a voice selection the costume creator or something which compensates automatically for a facial type? I like the sound of what you are saying.... and i would like to offer an undead voice to the table...

Also, if we added to the current voices with grunts, yells, laughs, and screams I would want Yuri Lowenthal as one of the options:

Been suggested a few times, largely by me, and I will support it every time. I'd like to see full sound control of our characters. At the very least voice, but also breathing sound (maybe I want to sound like Darth Vader or maybe I want to beep like a 60s futurstic robot?), footsteps and so forth. But voice at the very least.

Your idea sounds... intriguing. I would very much like a voice fixer-upper for the costume creator. /signed

Sorry if this should have gone elsewhere, but I looked around and didn't see an appropriate thread.
I'd like to suggest a couple of additions to toon voices. Several of my toons are in teen type SGs, so their ages range from about 10-14. The devs have given us the opportunity to create these great sidekick type toons by giving us young faces, etc.
However, it's very disconcerting to be playing a kid toon and hit the jump button and get this Conan-type grunt. For those of us who RP a lot it really sorta brings you out of the character.
Seems to me there should be at least 3 new voices added. One each for young males and females, and an even deeper one than we have currently for huge toons.
In fact, now that I think about it, I'm betting there would be a bunch of folks out there who would appreciate a more animalistic type of growl for those toons who aren't quite human.
You obviously don't have to hire professional voice actors for long speeches like other games use, but that should encourage you to provide more choices for the few grunts and moans we do get to provide a bit of reality to our toons.
I'm sure a quick session with a few devs who are players themselves would generate a decent list of voice possibilities which players could select at the time of toon generation.
Just a thought.
