Comparing The Voices - Lara Croft (Updated) 

First she was a Tomb Raider, then she began to "rise", and then we're under her "shadow"? Man the reboot trilogy's naming convention is really odd. (Anyway, expect Ant-Man, Wasp, Ghost, Han Solo, Lando or Venom in the next few days. Also, I have My Hero Academia Season 3, FLCL Alternative, Dragon Prince, Constantine: City of Demons and Incredibles 1 & 2 and more in the next few weeks as well)

Keeley Hawes's Lara has the maturity, sophistication, elegant sass and playfulness that's hard to surpass.

Judith Gibbins and Keeley Hawes are by far my favorite.They carried out such a fitting personality and temper for Lara.

Keeley Hawes is my favourite Lara Croft.

I think Judith owns it. She has a mature, intelligent voice with a confidence and slight sarcasm.

Judith Gibbons and Keeley Hawes portrayed Lara Croft to perfection. Sarcastic, Sassy and classy as hell.

As much as I love the early voice actresses, Keeley Hawes did the best version of Lara by far imo. She's a brilliant actress.

Judith Gibbins is by far the best. She nailed the classic, posh English accent for Lara. Sarcastic, witty but elegant.

Keeley Hawes is my favourite voice actress for Lara Croft. I wish they still used her

Angelina surprisingly did a great job at paying homage to the older voice actors. Camilla was good as a younger, more reckless version of Croft. Keeley and Judith did the best at playing the more experienced and mature version of Lady Croft. Alicia...well we won't talk about that movie.

Keeley Hawes is by far the best I truly love her voice is just unreal and it fits so perfect to Lara's character

I aint gonna lie. I don't have much of a preference, but I think they all did a great job with Lara Croft.

I like Lara Croft when she has a British accent

I love them all but Jonnell Elliot was my favorite.

Judith Gibbins and Keeley Hawes did a great job at a mature and confident Lara. You can believe she's an experience adventurer who is incredibly intelligent from their performances. I don't think they could have achieved what Camilla Luddington did with a young Lara finding her place in the world and her will to be a survivor, she just has a naive curiosity about her that grows up with each game. I don't think Minnie Driver would be too bad for a grown up and experienced Lara either. She sounds like the most natural progression from Camilla's performance. It's all kind of amazing looking back how many performances of the character there have been and how long the franchise has been going. Remember playing the demo of the first game and being blown away by the exploration and combat, looking at that game now it's very short and simple compared to recent instalments.

Judith Gibbons and Jonell Elliott are the best ones for me👌

Camilla fit the younger Lara aspect, Keeley fit Lara's characterization better, and it's more aesthetically pleasing with the accent of Jonell and Judith Personally it's a go for Keeley, she embodies Lara's pure sass and intellect with power KSKSKSMFNV

1.Keeley Hawes, I grew up with her, legend was the first game I played later I played the classics too. 2. Camilla Ludington 3. Jonell Elliot

Keely Hawes is best, no question

Keeley Hawes really did bring something special to the character; maturity, class, that sassiness from early games as well as being able to be angry and aggressive when needed. Shelley I think will always be a favourite for fans because she was first, Judith as well for being instantly recognisable as Lara. Jonnell made Lara more sexier tbh but I’m not surprised with the way the character was portrayed around that time. Angelina was just a perfect live action Lara and had the softness of Shelley but the sternness of Judith. I always remember Minnie Driver sounding right for the part because she reminded me of Keeley; typical British without trying too hard. Alicia I think played the part ok but didn’t sound right in my own opinion. And in all honesty Camilla doesn’t sound right for Lara at all. Not exactly her fault as I blame the writing. No person normally talks the way her version of Lara does and her dialogue is always so breathy. Even the amount of swearing they have her version of Lara use isn’t necessary. We’ve never heard Lara swear before now because she doesn’t need to to express herself (apart from Keeley saying damn it, even how Angelina says bugger a lot is very British) Not to mention she did grow up in America so hints of an American accent keep slipping in which doesn’t help when the character is suppose to be a born and bread British heiress.

I miss classy Lady Croft.

It best reflects the character of Lara - Jonell Elliott - because in her voice mixed the aristocratic origin and the adventurous spirit. Yes, all actresses are English, but some do not sound adequate for the role.

When it comes to characterization of Lara Croft as a mature woman, the voice of Judith Gibbins is the best, and second is Jonell Elliott because both of them have strong English accent.

Shelley Blond, Shelley Blond, Shelley Blond! The first and only Tomb Raider for me. Young, sexy, and a bit of a smart ass. Really, they should go back to her because her voice has matured somewhat since then and it would be interesting to hear the continuity.

Keeley voice was calm, inteligent and sometimes a bit sassy. And man, when Lara is angry is ANGRY, her voice is a chef kiss. Judith voice was very sassy and sarcastic, classic Lara Croft. I didn't grow up with her, but if they give her a chance to come back? Hell yeah. Jonell Elliott, I have to be honest, I didn't like her until I played the game. if Judith was badass she is in a whole new level. Every word she says, the tone... perfect Lara Croft. This are my favorite Lara's voices. And please, for the love of god, now that the reboot trilogy is gone I hope they seek a new (or old) voice for Lara. Camilla was nice but I personally would prefer something more like the old voice actors.

"if he left his notebook.... He WAS spooked" 😂

1) Judith Gibbins 2) Keeley Hawes 3) Shelley Blond 4) Minnie Driver 5) Angelina Jolie (I said what I said) Honorable Mention: Jonell Elliott

Keeley Hawes and Camilla Luddington are my favorites

TR2 & TR3 will always be my faves.

Judith Gibbins is my favourite Lara Croft.

1. Judith Gibbins 2. Keeley Hawes 3. Shelley Blond

The 2013 reboot was my introduction to Tomb Raider so Camilla will always be my favorite Lara, really fits her personality naive but brave for the reboot, one of my favorite series hopefully they continue to make amazing Tomb Raider games

She sounded more and more diluted as more recent games came out. Judith Gibbons wins it for me

Judith Gibbins and Keely Hawes are hands-down the best in my opinion, they have a very mature, aristocratic voice that portrays Lara's character beautifully and with class. I'm not a huge fan of Jonell's version because the voice not only sounds younger, which kind of messes with the audience's perception of how old the character is, but also due to the fact that it sounds too dangerous. Part of the charm of the first two Lara's (along with LAU) was that she was an extremely polite and refined woman of aristocratic upbringing that also happened to kick major ass-- the dissonance between her tone of voice and actions not only added a unique charisma, but also gave her a vibe of not giving a single fuck. Despite emphasizing Lara's intimidating side more, Jonell's delivery sounds too much like a generic action heroine and kind of takes her charm away. (I'm not saying Jonell is a bad voice actor, this is just my opinion.)

Judith did the best imo

Jonell Elliott is my favorite #1 voice actress for Lara Croft! And I'd really like for her to return to provide the voice for Lara Croft again! 😎

jonnells voice is so unique and gives character alot of personality just by the tone of her voice she’s my fav by far

Judith Gibbins and Kelley Hawes are my favorite voice actors because I think they both just fit Lara Croft best

Judith Gibbins for me! 👌

Angelina and Keeley 🥰 it's just the Lara's voices i remember the most (along with Gibbons)

where's the "all these years i've blamed myself, AN IT WAS YOU!! YOU KILLED HER!!!"

keeley is stunning

Judith Gibbings and Jonell Elliot are the best💕

In the german dubbing, the voice of the first two Tomb Raider games voices her mother in Legend.

I can see Angling Jolie was going for Judith Gibbins accent! Perfection

I think keeley did a very good job in the dialogues AND in the game, the noises Lara makes

Keeley Hawes has the most sexy voice of them all. so is my favorite

Keely Hawes and Jonell Elliott will always be my Lara Crofts

Keeley Hawes and a new TR game and I would throw money at it instantly. Back then she made Lara unforgettable. A very talented Croft which is also very intelligent, educated and capable yet calm with a charm like your mother when reading you bed time stories when you were a child while also being all time ready to fight demons if needed. All that and more accompanied with decent music suiting the overal character of the game nicely. A perfect example of a game that can have (and has) class.

Janell eliot is the best 😍 iconic voice and kelly hawes

Judith Gibbins is for sure the one who has the most beautiful and powerful voice.

Wow! Minnie Driver voiced Lara? Now that's a surprise.. I love her on Trespasser!

I feel like Jonell Elliot sounds the best because of her sarcastic and sweet tone of voice 1:19

Keeley’s is the best voice. She sounds so sophisticated and has that…authoritative sound to it. Yet it’s also soft and could almost make whatever she says sound like a compliment. She makes it sound inviting. She would be my preferred Unified Lara Croft voice. Either her or a new voice entirely.

Judith, Shelly and Jonell are the most iconic voices imo in the most iconic games

keeley hawes is the best. Although judith gibbins also did a good job. I want keeley hawes to return to lara's voice role in future.

Shelly Bond, Judith Gibbins , and Jonell Elliot were the best voices imo

I'm always going to go with Keeley Hawes voice with this because it's pretty much part of my child(kinda)hood.

It's a close battle between Jonell and Keeley, Jonell has a more unique sounding voice whilst Keeley has that softness that Jonell doesn't. Choices..

Judith Gibbins and Keeley Hawes were both believable voices for Lara's character. They both had the class needed for her. I believed they were highly intelligent globe trotting badasses.

Jonell elliot has such a nice voice to listen to

As I grew up playing TR3 with my dad Judith Gibbins will forever be my no.1 As for the more modern era of Lara, Keeley Hawes fit perfectly. I was delighted when the reboot came about, while I do love the emotion Camilla poured into Lara's character it just didn't sit with me. There was all but fear in her voice constantly and not enough of that fearless demeanour. That's just me though. I'm glad this franchise has managed to pull through while still holding it's original significance and I hope they never forget how important Lara's aspects carry her.

I grew up with the 2013 - 2018 Tomb Raider Series, so Camilla Luddington is the best for me. But I see what people mean about Keeley Hawes, so Keeley is definitely the best Lora Croft overall, and Camilla is the best for the Series I grew up with.

Jonell and Keeley take the cake for me

Keeley Hawes & Jonell Elliott

keeley was my lara craft for the games when I was a kid 🤙💕🔥

Jonnell and Keeley are my favorite voices for Lara, they did a fine work, mostly Keeley as her voice reminds me a bit of Alice from American Mcgee's Alice.

Jonell is my favourite, I grew up with her in TRIV and Chronicles. She just gives me goosebumps ❤️

My Top 5 Lara Croft Voices: 1. Keeley Hawes 2. Minnie Driver 3. Camilla Luddington 4. Jonnell Eliott 5. Shelly Bond Hearing her as Cammy makes me think that Caitlin Glass would be great as Lara if there was ever a Tomb Raider Anime.

best = Keeley Hawes worst = Alicia Vikander

Camilla voice is insanely good I really loooove her voice as Lara Croft and for the movies Angelina is soo much better than anyone I've seen, I really love how she did amazing as Lara

Keeley Hawes will always be my favorite. All are great tho

Judith alll the wayyy man

Would love to hear Shelley Blonde again, she didn't have much opportunity to expand the character

The early Lara's were good but for me Keeley Hawes is the best.

It's Judith & Keeley for me.

Damn i miss the old Lara Croft

Jonell Elliott is definitely my favourite

Keely Haws was my first introduction to Lara Croft and to hear her voice again brought back so many memories playing Tomb Raider Legends, Underworld, and Anniversary. I was also surprised to hear her return to the role in COD, which makes me even happier!

Keeley Hawes voice though.... ❤️

Legend/AOD are the best versions of lara idc

Keeley - iconic!

Keeley Hawes was my childhood, but Jonell is the best Lara voice for me 💔

Judith Gibbins and Jonell Elliot

Keeley & Judith are my favorites!

keeley hawes is my fav... 😍😍

1 Jonell 2. Judith 3. Keeley 4 Blond 5 Camila

All of the voices are perfect for their contexts and character personalities

Feels like every iteration past Judith is like the developers looking for someone who sounds like a fusion between Shelley and Judith. Jonell Elliot stands out the most to me though

Keeley and Judith ❤️❤️❤️

Jonell Elliot is the most nostalgic Lara voice for me. But Keeley Hawes just IS lara.

With my headphones this is mega unintentional ASMR with Shelly Bond(first Lara ever)! ❤️

Shelly Bond, Judith Gibbins and Keeley Hawes are all the best.

Keeley Hawes and it’s not up for discussion.

When I was a kid, Judith Gibbins gave off these 27 year old full grown woman vibes sexy as hell, I loved it, Lara Croft was someone to aspire to, someday when I grew up : )

I wish they still used Keeley Hawes

Keeley hawes!

My favourite lara is Camilla ❤️

Judith will forever be Lara Croft to me

Keylee Hawes is my favourite, but I have a soft spot for the original 3 as well.
