Oh please no. Lara is supposed to be an aristocrat and Shelley Blonde's (sorry Shelley, you're probably a very nice lady) accent simply does not represent that. Keep the current voice or use Jonell.

It doesnt really matter, both are fine imo.
It would be nice to have ingame lip sync this time though, even if she doesnt say much wich is preferable here compared to legend .

Not really a big fan of the original voice. I mean, I guess I accepted it at the time because it was all I knew, but now when I hear it, it sounds so scratchy and just.... wrong. I think they changed her voice in TR2 and 3, but it really wasn't much better. In TR4, 5 and 6, the voice was quite good, and made her seem more likeable (well, maybe not so much in part 6, but that was the fault of the script more than the voice.) I really think Keely Hawes (Legend) did the best job. She sounded enough like whoever did the voice in parts 4, 5 and 6, but with a little bit more spunk/charisma. It was a good combination of likeable, playful and at the same time kick-ass.

Yeah the Legend voice actress is much better IMO. They should just stick with her (especially if they are going to be using her for TR8 - it's kind of wierd switching back and forth between voice actresses)

Agreed. The original voice sounded.... I dunno.. Too young and deep?? Lol. Or something to that affect.

Comparing the original voice with the one in Legend, (Keeley Hawes), I'd have to say the current one is best, and I'd like most to hear it in the anniv. game.

too young? the perfect voice for Lara is located in TR2 is very mature cos Lara in TRL sounds like a Teenager :/ when she is well older than that.

the original voice is the Bad ass voice. thats what lara is all about.

I dunno how to explain it. But the Legend voice is still the best. Plus the chick who did that TR2 voice probably sounds so much different. Maybe eidos should record each voice and everyone should do a poll....? o_0

I dont think so.
Besides, I fail to see anything wrong with the Lara's new voice
(Keeley Hawes.)

Haha no kidding. AOD looked ok but yeah, she definately looks best in Legend. Before that she looks like a freaking skeleton.

Very true-- she did look quite ghoulish in the earlier games. Legend is leaps and bounds better in that sense.

I voted no. I preferred her Tr4/5/AOD voice myself.

Although if they are going back 10 years it should have the original voice... if not then keep Keeley Hawes.

I'd be in a fit of happiness if Judith Gibbins was chosen to be the voice actress - Shelley Blond would be an unlikely choice for the anniversary edition, the last I heard she demanded too much money to voice act TR2, but you never know - there are bigger budgets these days...hopefully it isn't Keeley Hawes - sorry if I offend anyone but I thought her performance was the least convincing performance so far. :/

I agree. I vote Shelley Blond should come back, but if not, Judith Gibbins all the way!

purely for nostalgic reasons, I voted for the original voice. But Keeley does a nice job, too.

I liked the voice of TR4/5/6 best

Although Keeley's good. And I haven't heard much of the original Lara seeing as the sound never properly worked on TR1 (although what I did hear I didn't find particularly special ). Although I see what you mean about Shelley being the original Lara. But imo, Jonell or Keeley!

Yeah I liked the voice in Legend, was realy nice and suited Lara very well. Haven't heard other new ones yet though. In all TRers the voices were pretty similar I think, they were all good, no dissapointment.

BTW where can I hear those different voices and the girls? Where's the best place to look?

Keep Keeley Hawes! I did like the voices in the Tomb Raiders of yore, but I think that Keeley is the best out of them (in my humble opinion).
