Who Voices Geralt In The Witcher 3

Henry Cavill's raspy Geralt vocalisation in The Witcher was a consummate blow

Whoops?

If you've played CD Projekt Red's The Witcher game trilogy, you lot might have noticed some similarity in Geralt'due south vocalisation from both the games and Netflix serial. Henry Cavill'south operation equally Geralt has a deep, raspy quality similar to voice histrion Doug Cockle'due south operation in the games. Fun fact: that was a total accident.

During a WitcherCon interview last weekend, Cavill revealed that his Geralt vocalisation was meant to be quite unlike. He had asked showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich if he could add together some rasp to his voice, but Hissrich turned him downward - telling him to stick with his own natural voice instead. That was the programme, and it would take made Geralt sound quite different in the series.

Even so, later returning from a Christmas filming suspension to shoot a conversation between Geralt and King Foltest (which you can view above), Cavill just…forgot. He only realised that he'd added a rasp to his vocalization until the entire scene was done, proverb, "That happened by blow, and then after I was like, 'Oh my god, I just played a whole scene in the wrong voice'."

It turned out to not be a complete disaster, all the same. Cavill ended up liking his new Geralt vocalisation quite a flake, saying that, "made a lot of things sit improve when it came to delivery of certain lines, and delivery of certain dialogue." It was absolutely inspired by the games he had played before starring in the show, and he was worried about that similarity, saying:

I know it'southward very like to Doug Cockle'due south amazing work. That was definitely a concern. I don't want to seem like I'thou plagiarizing another professional'due south extraordinary piece of work. I had a look at it, had a mind to it, and I thought, actually they are dissimilar enough. It'south conspicuously inspired by—just I did my own thing, and then I spoke to Alec and I spoke to Lauren, and they both said, 'It's okay, actually, if you lot want to do that, we tin go with that, and we'll redo the residuum."

You lot can check out the full interview in the video beneath. It's actually pretty entertaining - Cavill drops Warhammer 40K references, brags about his RTX 3090 and admits he couldn't trounce The Witcher 3 on its hardest difficulty.
