Zello Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I paid Troy Baker $65 on cameo to do a Niko Bellic impression. TheSantader25, VenusianDream, REVENGE777 and 4 others 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Well, so there's a chance of Niko appearing in GTA VI to get his head stomped on too? Perfect. Interesting, though it seemed like he was asked this before quite a bit judging by him commending you for your 'originality'. Also this sort of made me realize that pulling of the Niko voice isn't that easy though he did ok Also wtf $65 for a less than one minute impression?

I'm guessing no one asked him to do a Niko Bellic impression before mainly because he's never played Niko Bellic. 11 minutes ago, Utopianthumbs said: Also wtf $65 for a less than one minute impression?

Guest Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) Completely different portrayal to Niko, but I thought Troy as Ocelot in MGS V was really cool. Liked the Western vibe of the character and I guess he would have fit right in as another member in the Van der Linde gang.

Grotti Vigilante Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) I'll just copy over what I said in the thread about Niko Bellic being in GTA VI: 3 hours ago, Grotti Vigilante said: I mean nothing against Troy Baker, he’s a very good voice actor and good at doing a wide variety of roles, be it Joel from The Last of Us, Pagan Min from Far Cry, or Erron Black from Mortal Kombat, he’s really good, and his Niko impression was fine. But honestly, he’s probably too well known for Rockstar’s liking, and at this point it’s going to become a meme of how he’s in every AAA title these days. If it’s not him then it’s Nolan North. Even so, I think Niko’s story is done and told now, so personally I’d say that we should just leave him be.

D T Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Hearing him say push me push me got a pretty big laugh out of me. Man I actually expected a lot better from someone who's voiced over 125 characters though. This just made me respect Michael Hollick all the more. Thank you for doing this though! I've contemplated using Cameo a couple of times but most of the prices are way too steep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now imagine him working with voice coaches and at Rockstars mocap studio training and working on it for months. He's Troy Baker he can do a lot of voices.

eyeballs Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Its mostly just that hollick and bellic are very similar names so i thought they were both from serbia or from a similar country like niko. Im pretty sure he spoke the language almost perfectly too so its nothing really a problem either way, a simple mistake. Voice coaches and language teachers maybe even Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
