Theo performs SO MANY of Wyll's lines with this sort of like...not-quite hushed campfire intimacy that just makes you LISTEN!! It's hard to describe—its almost like he's closer to the mic, which is probably untrue given the rigs I've seen in the behind the scenes shots but still.
There are very SPECIFIC scenes that stand out to me with the other actors that hit the same tickle-spot for my ears: Gale's act 2 confession ("I love this time of night"), Shadowheart's Selûnite Act 3 ending ("I don't deserve to be anyone's daughter) and Astarion's graveyard scene ("Maybe. But he did take it.)
But I hear it from Wyll just in normal camp conversations. Even super early!! The story about the farmer and the devil in ACT ONE is spoken with such carefulness, so is his warning about Mizora coming for him. And like!! It's very cool when you think about it from a mechanical standpoint. He has the highest charisma. He knows how to make you pay attention. It feels intentional, and it's cool to imagine it is even if it's just as likely a very lovely tonal quality in Theo's voice.
We all know that Astarion has some of the best lines in the game but nobody - NOBODY - told me how softly Gale's VA delivers that "I forget my Goddess" line... the breathlessness? the yearning?? hello
what if the always amazing gale of waterdeep did one of those 80’s style televised dating profiles? <3
