The voice seems very high-toned and frankly kind of effeminate.

I agree here, but we still haven't heard the voice in full context. Maybe it fits better than we think.

I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt til I hear it in context, of course.  :)  One of the problems with just listening to a voice clip with no visual context is that everything automatically sounds EXTREMELY over-acted, which is part of what makes this Alexander voice sound so starkly inappropriate to the character as he was introduced and represented in KQ6.

Perhaps the corresponding video will help the audio not feel overacted. I think it will.

Yup.  That's what I'm betting (hoping.)

On the plus side though, I like all the voice actors so far (except Hassan and Arch Druid/Oberon).

LOL...so you like all of the voice actors EXCEPT two of the principle characters (and one minor one) in the only currently released episode?   ;)

I asked Neil about that clip about a year ago (the Alexander and Sarah one) and he said it wasn't in Chapter 2, which I assume means it got cut. link

I doubt it. It sounds to me like you would be playing Alexander at that point.

There was another clip where we heard Alexander's voice that I know of, in one of the teaser trailers from a while back, but it was only a short line or two.

It used to be chapter 4, and yes, it's been cut.

I love Mike's voice as Alexander. It was a shock at first because I have spoken with him on Skype even before seeing Chapter 2 and now when ever I hear him on Skype the first name that comes to me is Alexander.

tessspoon

I love him as Alexander too. I've listened to the Alexander and Sarah clip so many times it's become more of Alexander's voice to me than KQ6 is.

kindofdoon

Can't say I agree there. KQVI Alexander is the real Alexander to me.

Robbie Benson is the voice I think of for "generic heroic prince figure" as he voiced two of my favorites -- and any (and I do mean any) that are not voiced to sound similar, I always feel like there's something off about them. I'll get past it with Alexander -- I always do -- but that doesn't mean I like it. :P
