Now that most people have had a play around with the benchmark and no doubt had a listen to some or all of the voice options, it got me wondering. What do you look for when choosing your own characters voice? Is it anything in specific, or just one that feels right?

Back when I used the ARR benchmark to create my mains original appearance, I chose a voice because it matched the animations of the yes and no emotes, and wasn't too high or low pitched to be confused with what might be a lalafell or roe/highlander (atleast to me). At the time I chose the one that sounded like a cheerful, energetic miqo'te.

With the Heavensward benchmark, I've chosen my Au Ra's voice based on the way she screams. The other emotes don't seem to match, but they're passable. I think the scream sounds the least fake out of all of them. She screams good.

So, what do you look for when choosing a voice for your character(s)?
