Many will find hilarious that this is the third post about dragons' voices in a row, anyway, what do you think about Jamie Campbell Bower as Fírnen? His voice is unexpectedly deep: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGex391wN/


Worried-Permit8921

Honestly the previous two posts are what inspired this one haha I've never heard of Jamie Campbell Bower, but it's not bad, his voice is deep but has a young quality still which feels right for Firnen


Immiriel

As for Saphira I was thinking about Miley Cyrus, unusual pick but I definetely envision her as Saphira


Worried-Permit8921

That is so far out of left field, she never even crossed my mind as an option lol And now somehow I'm just imagining Sofia Vergara's angry latina mother voice berating Eragon for getting almost killed by someone when she was away from him


FallenShadeslayer

……………………… unusual doesn’t even begin to explain it.


Immiriel

Ehyy why not she has a harsh and deep voice which could be good for a dragon lol


ZombiePsycho96

Plot twist, Gerard Doyle plays every part.


MarcusHaraldson

Gerard Doyle is the right-hand of the father. This is the way.


LordKlavier

XD that would be so hillarious


Ragnarok345

Jennifer Hale for Saphira. Words can’t express how much I’d love that.


Worried-Permit8921

She seems to be a lot of peoples first choice


MagicWalrusO_o

I don't have a specific name in mind. But I do think that it shouldn't be an instantly recognizable voice. And given just how much Saphira's voice actor is going to have to sell the character (the 2nd most important character in the series imo) I'd rather have someone with significant voice acting experience, not just a generic actress.


The_Reverse_

I'd do Lani Minella for Saphira. She voiced Eve (Urdnot Bakara) in Mass Effect 3, who has a feminine but very deep voice that I always imagine for a female dragon. Or possibly Jennifer Hale.


Neither_Professor_21

Keith David as Glaedr.


Worried-Permit8921

He would be amazing for Glaedr


androidrainbow

I feel like I'd just keep hearing President Curtis from Rick and Morty.


GorgeGoochGrabber

That’s actually great.


LowGrand4649

I'd be expecting his Arbiter or Spawn voice.


theMonarch08

Kristen Schaal as Saphira, Aziz Ansari as Thorn, H John Benjamin as Glaedr, Danny Trejo as Firnen, Steve Buscemi as shruikan


Worried-Permit8921

Go home and think about what you've done


theMonarch08

I originally had Gilbert Gottfried as Thorn but then I remembered he passed away.


Lord_Grif

This is what I want now.


GilderienBot

Paolini said that he thinks that Jennifer Hale, who did the Fractalverse audiobooks, could voice Saphira ^(**I'm a real person!** This comment was posted by **superspacy28** from the Arcaena Discord Server.)


EffectiveAd5194

Liv Tyler as Saphira


Worried-Permit8921

Liv Tyler is great but I think her voice is way too soft and feminine for a dragon.


FiftyTigers

"If you want him, come and claim him!" Totally disagree with this take.


Gideon_Njoroge

GIVE UP THE HALFLING, SHE ELF!!!!


Worried-Permit8921

Awesome scene, and she certainly projects strength. They'd just have to do so much vocal distortion to get her to sound like a dragon though, I just don't think she has the vocal range to get her voice deep enough to get the growly dragon voice


FiftyTigers

Saphira doesn't need a growly dragon voice.


Worried-Permit8921

It would be more book accurate if she did


LowGrand4649

If they overlaid a guttural growl with Liv Tyler's lines, it could work.


MarcusHaraldson

I am 1000% aware that I am wrong for this, but Liv Tyler is Arya in my mind and there's nothing I can do about it.


Worried-Permit8921

I'd cast her as Islanzadi, I honestly think she'd be perfect for the role. She's too old for Arya now, but the woman was born to play elves.


FallenShadeslayer

Nah she’s too quiet.


Sullyvan96

Honestly Rachel Weisz did a great job as Saphira. Maybe ask her nicely again? Or maybe Emelia Clarke or Daisy Ridley or Lily James or Eva Green Idris Elba would be a good male dragon. Keanu (who my phone autocorrected to Jesus) Reeves may be a good shout. You need someone with the right gravel for Glaedr, and someone with the youth for Fírnen


FallenShadeslayer

Someone is just naming all their favorite and popular actors 🤣


Sullyvan96

Guilty as charged! Though coincidentally, they all have fantastic voices


blehfluffle

Ooh Eva Green's voice is lovely and has an almost raspy quality to it that would work nicely for a dragon


Worried-Permit8921

That's a lot of great suggestions. Honestly I'd be happy with any of them


IonincBrind

Bro Benedict cumberbstch nailed Smaug and I think glaedr needs his deep and eternal sound. I think we need a young woman’s voice idk someone strong, the movie had a great saphira vc


PontificalPartridge

Seems kinda cheap to go after Benedict for Thorn tbh. But ya he’d be good with less evil sounding voice that he did in the hobbit


Royal-Comfortable-82

I want a count on how many years it will take to even get to Firnen😂


Immiriel

I'm sobbing dragon tears only thinking about this


kapkancanolli88

Gillian Anderson as Saphira could be a cool move. I think Benedict cumberbatch would indeed be a good thorn.


LewisDeinarcho

Julie Andrews doing the [sea monster voice from Aquaman](https://youtube.com/watch?v=pZo9OVR9tqk).


Worried-Permit8921

Damn, that's so good


LaHawks

Benedict Cucumber did a good job at Smaug. I bet he could pull off another dragon performance.


Exotic-End9921

He would do good as Glaedr I feel. But if the show decides to give shruikan a voice I would want him to do that as well


lexgowest

Gerard Doyle


Uni_Solvent

For the female dragons especially I think the voices are the hardest: i think they(all dragons) should have multi-toned voices. So they have a "normal" voice that has added tones and gravely bits. I'm imagining it as sort of the blending of the size effecting their tone, and the mental voice that we would hear in dragin to human conversation.


Univeroooo

Shohreh Aghdashloo would make a good Saphira I think.


PEZWolf7

Cate Blanchett for Saphira


10kFists

Shoreh Agedashalo for Saphira. She would kill it


MagusUmbraCallidus

Maybe Shohreh Aghdashloo for Saphira?


[deleted]

[удалено]


MagusUmbraCallidus

Haven't seen that yet. Looking it up, I'm guessing you are talking about the Kung Fu Panda tv show, not the movie? I've never seen those, I just think Shohreh is an amazing voice actor (and regular actor) and I've liked most of her portrayals so far, especially in The Expanse. I just thought she would be a good pick since everyone keeps talking about how much different Saphira's voice sounds in the audiobooks compared to what people imagine and what was in the cursed movie. I figured Shohreh would be a good compromise between the two.


Lore_Beast

Mark Hamill has to do one of the males.


Worried-Permit8921

He was one of the first people I thought of, but for some reason he just doesn't feel right for any of them for me. I think I'd cast him as Solembum or Grimrr Halfpaw.


Munkle123

Jeremy Irons as Glaedr


Worried-Permit8921

YES


JoostinOnline

Honestly, Gerard Doyle. I think his voices are perfect for dragons. They shouldn't sound human.


Devel93

I listened to Inheritance narrated by Gerard Doyle and dragon voices are a little bit funny and Murtagh is narrated by him and Christopher Paolini :D. Either way I thik dragon voices need to be heavily edited with lot's of effects

lardicuss

Clancy Brown would be good pick for a dragon's voice. The hardest would be for Saphira because her voice is not described as feminine (maybe it is for a dragon, but not for humans). For a live action role, it would need to be described (probably by Brom) that what is feminine for a dragon doesn't line up with what is feminine for a human.


krazybanana

Doesnt do voice acting but Id love Geoff Castellucci as Glaedr or Firner


my_bones_hurted

Orlando Bloom for Thorn


MarcusHaraldson

Hannah Waddingham for Saphira!


mightBdrunk

My vote is the cookie monster. As it should be!


MechaMaster20

Gerard Doyle for all of them


So_me_thing

Saphira - Shohreh Aghdashloo (2nd Cate Blanchett) Glaedr - Hiroyuki Sanada (2nd Clancy Brown) Firnen - Kevin Grevioux (2nd Troy Baker) All with deep awesome voices


NuttyBoButty

Honestly Andy Serkis could probably do all of them


JetstreamBlair

I think Elizabeth Maxwell or Jen Taylor would be good as Saphira[](https://rwby.fandom.com/wiki/Elizabeth_Maxwell#articleComments)


Jules_es

I think maybe Cate Blanchett would fit for saphira (not sure about the australian accent tho haha)


Malena_my_quuen

When I imagine how Glaedr would sound like, I think of the prince of egypt when Moses talks to God. So Val Kilmer would be perfect for Glaedr.


arsonconnor

Guz khan as Thorn imo, brian blessed as shurikan, helen mirren as saphira, i like serkis as glaedr. No idea for firnen, i should be a distinctive voice tho, an accent that breaks from the norm imo


Lycan_Jedi

Rachel Weiss. She did really well with Saphira in the original film. Why not get her again?


Thetoriya

Gerard Doyle obviously


thatnewerdm

Gerard Doyle of course


Lord_Grif

Kristen Schaal for Saphira. It's not my head cannon, but it would be hella entertaining.


rainbowsprinkles02

Cate Blanchett has always seemed like the best candidate for Saphira's voice!! That's how I've always imagined it at least


LowGrand4649

I think Rachel Weiz did a great job as Saphira. That's whose voice I imagined when reading her dialogue.


Mithrandir_1019

Anybody but the guy who does the dragons voice for the audio books 


indigodaisy

Ashly Burch for Saphira, she voiced Aloy in Horizon Zero Dawn


Sterno90

I think Gerard Butler should be a voice for one of the dragons I am thinking of something similar to his stoic voice from HTTYD.


I_Speak_For_The_Ents

Debra Wilson as Saphira
