Here’s hoping your character doesn’t stay corrupted Josh. You do a killer job playing the noble king. Also your audiobook reading of the BfA book was great stuff!
@@Rocsanna legit was my fav thing about BfA. I play Horde, but I have a soft spot for the character of Anduin since he’s been around from the start when he was a kid. I want the Alliance to keep him in charge.
@@fatesrequiem This is super common in the Horde right now. A lot of Hordies inexplicably love Anduin, and I think Josh Keaton bringing him to life is a big part of it. I mean the dude even used to main Horde so that makes him one of us FOREVER. Josh Keaton (Anduin), Patty Madsen (Sylvanas), Debra Wilson (Draka), Raye Chase (Sire Denathrius), and Alex Desert (Bwonsamdi) are all so incredible. The rest of the cast has its moments, but those 5 stand out to me. WoW has the greatest voice acting team.
@@jare3959 Agreed. I'm Horde for life and a Sylvanas girl, but I still love Anduin to death. I think part of it is that for long time players of the game, we have literally watched him grow up. Pretty much all the other main characters we were introduced to them as adults and while most of them have evolved over time, none so much as Anduin, the random human boy model hanging out in Stormwind Keep to the noble king, and now the Jailer's puppet. We even have had quests where we were literally Anduin's babysitter. So I very much hope that we can redeem him by the end of this storyline. I was just getting to like Varian Wrynn when they killed him off. As much as I still hold out hope that Sylvanas will turn against the Jailer and help free Anduin. Certainly it won't absolve her, but at least give her more depth of motivation than Garrosh...
@@Rocsanna Yes. He read Golden's "Before the Storm" and was wonderful. His goblin voices are terrific. His female voices were not fabulous but not intolerable. RU-vid had the full audiobook and it might still be available.
Shalamourne fits well in English, but that's complicated to do the same in other languages. And I think they chose to give some importance to "King", probably because I think a lot of people don't even know that his sword is Shalamayne 😅
not sure if you guys gives a shit but if you guys are bored like me during the covid times you can watch all of the new movies on instaflixxer. Been watching with my girlfriend for the last months =)
@@chrisdavis3551 Do you really think only one person connected the word "keys" to a prophecy talking about "keys" that the lore community has been obsessing over for ages? xD Dozens and dozens of people have brought up that angle by now.
As a horde player i know anduin is kinda the enemy but i find myself drawn to him in shadowlands. Its nice to see the voice behind him is as awesome as the character
I love how you voice Anduin. The way you bring so much emotion to the character and get his emotions to shine through with your voice alone really got me even more invested in the character. Here's to hoping Anduin can break free of the Jailer for more than a few seconds next time ^_^
Can I just say that the life you bring to Anduin - who before Legion had little to no relevance to the story and I'm not sure how much of a personality he had - is amazing. Seeing his character development from expansion to expansion is truly remarkable and it's all because of your voice! I listened to the audiobook for Before the Storm shortly after it came out in 2018 and all the time I was listening to it I had this strange feeling that your voice sounds very familiar and the voice for Anduin especially. After finishing it, I did some research and found out you were the narrator. I wanna hug you so bad! You managed to make me bawl my eyes out during the scene where Wyll is dying. Good work man! And you absolutely nailed Greymane's voice. :D
Eyyy the man who voices the boy i watched grow into the boots of a king. Instant subscribe. You could say fight for the wrynns. Human Warrior player. Teared up when Varian died. Still doin' the good ol royal protector role since cataclysm days when i escorted Anduin around. Hoping us players get to leap in and save my boy.
May I just say that you play Anduin very well - he is one of my favorite WoW characters, I've been playing it since 2009, am now an older woman player and I've been watching the development of this lovely young man for all tht time. So well done, I hope you continue to be his voice.
Man, how many paladin-esque, lion-themed characters who get mind controlled and have their hair turn white because of it are you going to play, Josh? This type casting is getting very specific
You have no idea. I would love an animated series for the game in general. There is soooo much great lore and I never want the cutscenes and cinematics to end.
@@elrilmoonweaver4723 I’m gonna start a petition on change.org. Feel free to sign it. I’ll even leave specific details on what we want to see and hear.
I doubt very many people here listened to the audiobook version of Before the Storm. I did when it came out a couple summers ago and could listen to it over and over again. I wasn’t even aware that the narrator was you, the voice of Anduin, until after the fact, which made me realize why Anduin had been my favorite voiced character in the novel. Great job! You’re very skilled at making these characters sound compelling.
This is amazing! However, strange feelings arise within me whenever I hear Josh talk about the video whilst the video is playing. My brain gets confused. Feels like the "real" Anduin is watching a TV-show starring himself. For example at 1:39 :D
your reactions are so stinkin cute??? i dunno! i really like when people who've worked on a thing finally get to see the entirety of it 🥳 thank you for sharing this with us!
I actually shrieked irl when I saw that transformation! So damn good!! Beautifully done on all sides, as always 😍😍 also, shout-out to Team Worgen Boomkin! I've mained one ever since Pandaria.
Wow. Yeah, you did a great job on it, as usual. I was watching your face as the Jailer faded back, Anduin came forward, then was pulled under again; you had tears in your eyes. It effects me that way too, I fear for our boy king, the Lion may have some serious problems after this all shakes out. As I said, you do such a fantastic job with Anduin. Thank you!
This man is a god-damn national treasure. Seeing the wonderment in watching his voice acting come to life on the screen is the absolute purest joy I've seen in a long time.
One thing I noted almost immediately is your emotional reaction to Anduin appearing on the screen. Anduin brings you happiness. That’s SO nice to see. Anduin is special, he is one of my all time favorite characters in game. To see him grow from child to adult has created a feeling of connection, maybe attachment. I was disappointed initially when they corrupted him. I can only hope he comes back to be better than ever. And of course, very nicely done on bringing him to life.
So glad you're the voice of Anduin, probably my favorite character in wow of all time. I can't help but love this sweet, empathetic and future legendary king!
It really says a lot about a cinematic's direction and quality when not only the people who got spoiled by the press release leak still feel so much seeing this for the first time, but even the person who recorded the lines for the character does too. Love Blizzard's art team.
More reactions please!! I would love to see him react to the other major cutscenes!! Also, when he saw Uther looking at Anduin and said 'he knows' omg, I mean Obviously he sounds like Anduin but that Felt like anduin just then lol.
Yo man. i really love your voice! Anduin in game and in cinematics convey SO much emotions! one of the best voice acted characters i've heard.. in any game. Kudos to you!
Josh, I can't stop watching this. I imagine you have such an amazing sense of pride when you go back and watch how your hard work pays off for us in these cinematics and moments. Anduin is such a noble soul and I love watching him grow to be a strong leader like his father. Thank you for your voice, your time, and the amount of work you do to bring the voice of Anduin to us. I can't wait to see where this goes and how he moves on from this once saved.
Nice to see that you play also! I've always assumed that the actors didn't play and probably think we are all crazy but hey, it's a pay cheque. I was wrong! :) Fabulous work on your contribution! The cut scenes have really come a long way in terms of animation quality; the eyes and facial expressions they have adapted from the actors are impressive.
Ahh this is great! Anduin has been my fave ever since he went his own way in MoP (and I was horde then too lol). Would love to see more reactions to other Anduin cutscenes :D
Love your reaction. you have such a wonderful and handsome voice. I've become a fan of Anduin with the SL. he's really grown into his own man. I thought it was very interesting how they are giving references of Arthas toward Anduin in this cinematic. if you listen closely, Arthas' theme plays when Uther looks at your character. I can't wait to see what happens next!
Is it kinda weird to watch something and hear your own voice?? I always get a weird feeling when I hear my own voice in a video. I can imagine actual voice acting may be just as odd if not more lol You're a fantastic voice actor by the way! Great job
Bro I have to tell you, when Anduin was made king I was sceptical but you've really really morphed him into one of my favourite characters in WoW history! I've played since Vanilla and I've been Alliance from day 1, and honestly you've made me love Anduin so thank you!
Hope to watch again my king doing a reaction. The light be with you in our darkest time. I will find you and I will save you from the Maw and the Jailor. Hail to the king! FOR THE ALLIANCE!!!
I wouldn't worry to much about this, Anduin as a character has grown pretty heavily, and though I've hated a bit of his early-mid arc, he's been getting a better hang of himself. I don't see him having to much of a issue with realizing that it wasn't his fault, and that he couldn't break free from it. Though he may for a time question why he left himself (and maybe other leaders) so vulnerable when they knew something was coming.
It must make you feel proud to see your character going from the hated replacement of Varian to one of the players's favourite characters! Blizzard didn't fail to give a powerful evolution to Anduin but obviously you've played a great part in that success. And from what I've read, people seem to love your acting even more with The War Within cinematic
Arthas theme when Uther sees Anduin, I can't with this trailer my god ! Teldrassil now Anduin, God you can't imagine what I want to do to Sylvanas right now. good job by the way, the french voice is good too, the same tones and colors as yours, that's very cool ! For the Alliance and Azeroth !
I’m so grateful RU-vid recommended you to me! I had no idea you had your own channel & play the game on Twitch. I’ll definitely give it a watch! I really hope Anduin comes back to us :( He does look really cool tho
Such an amazing job on the voice and the graphics, both teams have outdone themselves this expack. Anduin has quickly become one of my favourite characters in the game. I can't wait until we can go rescue him from the jailer. (they would be stupid to let him come to harm, fans would revolt!) I can't wait to see the next one!
As Anduin kills the Archon, his voice changes. Is that still your voice or did they use another for that? I am very happy with your voicing of Anduin, very much suits the character. There's a slight dry rasp like the rustle of beach grass which I find pleasing. The voice you give him is temperate but there's a fearless steely edge when he speaks with conviction. He is undaunted standing toe to toe with Saurfang or Sylvanas. That comes across in his voice. The Wyrnns are the anchor of the story for me. I still miss his father and Anduin is all I've got left so thank you.
@@joshkeaton I checked back to know if you answered. Thank you for that kindness. I would also like to thank you for giving Anduin so much personality. I really love what you do with his lines and hope you stay with it for the duration. Best wishes in all you choose to do.
I’m so glad they’re allowing Anduin to blossom and be on the frontlines. You’re really killing it Josh!!! These cinematics have really enabled you to show off :) we
Ever since Legion when Anduin became a bigger part of the story he's been my favorite character, he is one of the only If not the Only Somewhat relatable character in Warcraft. I just don't want to see him die now that he has "Turned to the dark side".
