    I've been watching a ton of videos on Youtube (as well as been playing some of my pins) and I noticed how great some of these pins are not only because of the lights, toys, ramps, etc.... but because of the voice acting. The quality of the speech can make or break a pin sometimes, with some pinsiders refusing to buy TWD because of the actor's voices missing from the game, or of the annoyance of the voice clip saying "Shoot the Pyramid" in SG. Some of them are done so well I can't imagine liking the pin that much if they were missing. Jon Rhys Davies (I think that's how you spell his name) in LOTR is excellent, along with the voice acting in classics such as MB and MM. I heard a story that Jon Borg's wife is actually the female voice in Tron (possibly ST as well) and, if she is, I really think she did a good job as well.

    I personally can't pick a favorite, but I really like the actress JJ hired to do the voice of the wicked witch in WOZ. Sounds just like Margaret Hamilton. Any opinions?

    Yep, how could I forget that one, as well as Spidey.

    Great suggestions! I'm sure the voice call outs in a pin is something we forget about, but I'm sure the designers have to take this "forgotten or overlooked" part of the process in the forefront. I find myself teasing my buddy whenever we go on a pinball adventure quoting the good witch from WOZ "The Journey is the Reward"!

    I have to admit I have a man crush on the female voice actor on Stern's ST. She sounds like the same voice actor who does the female call outs on Alien as well.
