They should get Lance Henrikksen (sp?) who voices the great Admiral Hackett from the Mass Effect. It'd be cool IMO if they got Temuera Morrison to do some voice acting (Voices clones, Jango Fett in Star Wars)

Henriksen would've been an awesome addition!

Jim Cummings is a Voice Actor for Skyrim? He alone could voice half of the males and you wouldn't notice that it was the same guy! He also voiced Tigger and sang the second half of Be Prepared in The Lion King, along with many other roles.

But more seriously I really wish/hope that they got Steven Jay Blum, having the voice of Spike/TOM (people in America may remember Toonami) in Skyrim... it would be awesome...

I love Steve Blum. Seems like he's in everything nowadays, too. I swear I just heard his voice in War in the North and I know it was also all over Arkham City.

I really hope the Argonian and Khajiit voices are awesome like in Oblivion. The Altmer, Bosmer, Dumner all kinda sounded the same to me. The voice of the Bretons I found quite a bit annoying along with the Redguard voices

They were the same. Exactly the friggin' same, a fact that reaaaally put me off when I noticed it back when Oblivion was up and running on my PC.

At least in Morrowind you could tell with your eyes closed what kind of Mer was speaking - Altmer were even more posh that the Oblivion elves, Bosmer were even more annoying, and Dunmer sounded like they'd been doing nothing but drinking bourbon and smoking tobacco for the last forty years (which sounded awesome, hopefully they'll bring it back for Skyrim).

Anyone know if it's the old dunmer voice from Morrowind or the lame Oblivion sound there will be used?

The chain-smoker voice is the one heard in the demos.

I just hope there will be a number of different actors for each race, and not just for main characters.

During the leaked intro, I recognized about 4 voices from Fallout (including one celeb voice-actor and the one kid voice-actor who played all of the male children in those games). I am hoping, too, that there is more differentiation in the "random" citizens. One of the worst (annoying) parts about New Vegas was how every young black guy had the same voice-actor.. unintentional racism for the win!

I don't mind good voice actors as long as Bethy doesn't blow a large chunk off their budget again on Famous actor's voices.

Don't worry, they'll be 70ish, but not all big names - that would cost a bomb.
