He is one of the Great Lords, complete with a Great Rune; Rykard earned his title through his rejection of the way of the Erdtree and its Age of Order.

Rykard’s Elden Ring voice actor is Simon Gregor, a British voice actor with ample experience in film and television. He has been part of The Borgias, Doctor Who, and even The Walking Dead. 

A powerful Sorceress shrouded in mystery. Sellen was rejected and cast out from the Academy of Raya Lucaria for her obsession with Glintstone Magic; an outlawed school.

Since then, she has been imprisoned and forced to project her astral form to find assistance to return to her former glory and continue study.

Kezia Burrows is no stranger to video game voice over roles as she has been involved in Alien Isolation, X-COM 2, and Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture prior to performing as an Elden Ring voice actor.

A Sorcerer with a penchant for puppetry. Seluvis is a vendor and confidant to Ranni, a Demi-God entity that the player can offer service to. While the player may encounter Seluvis in his tower, this mere astral projection is little more than a charade for his actual form.

His pompous attitude can make dealings with him a chore; considering the player Tarnished to be a mere underling.

Seluvis’ Elden Ring voice actor is Charles Dale, a talented TV actor with a career that spans back as far as 1979.

Leader of Volcano Manor and the head of the forces that worship Rykard against the will of the Two Fingers. As the proprietress of the manor, the player will encounter her with the opportunity to join her mission to work against the Golden Order – which opens many opportunities for the Tarnished.

Tanith’s Elden Ring voice actor is Gemma Whelan, a professional actor who has been involved in many high profile projects, most notably Game of Thrones as Yara Greyjoy. Although, this isn’t her first performance as a game voice, as she was involved in Mass Effect: Andromeda, and Final Fantasy XIV.

A student of the Academy of Raya Lucaria and continue to learn the secrets behind the Magic of The Lands Between. He will sell sorceries to the player and can be provided with a Glintstone key to help him on his travels back to the place he longs to be.

Matthew Morgan plays Thops, and he is a returning cast member from previous games in the Souls saga before playing characters as an Elden Ring voice actor. Previously he played Crestfallen warriors – so his named role in Elden Ring is a step toward the forefront of the cast.

White Mask Varre is a mixed bag, he mocks and goads the player at the start of their journey – yet offers many benefits should the Tarnished opt to join him later in the game. He offers many opportunities for a Tarnished to invade the world of other players to kill them, if they have the will to slay fellow kindred spirits…

Varre’s Elden Ring voice actor is Pip Torrens, a prolific actor and voice actor alike. In addition to playing Varre and Radahn in this game, he also plays a pivotal role in the ongoing episodic video game series The Dark Pictures as The Curator. He has also been in a wide array of TV series, as well as being an onscreen character in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

A man of mystery found in Volcano Manor. Likely a ghost of a man long gone, weapon descriptions indicate that this entity once was a knight to Lord Rykard, who attempted to stop his master from falling into madness but failed and was fed to the Snake-bound Demi-God ruler of Mt. Gelmir.

Grahame Fox lends his voice to the Volcano Manor Apparition, as well as various Nomadic Merchants. He has worked in voice over across his career, as he was the Squirrel Chief in the acclaimed It Takes Two and was even involved as a voice actor for Dark Souls 3.

Once he was the Bloody Finger Hunter known only as Yura – a man who seeks out and destroys those who would prey on others. The Tarnished may side with Yura on their travels and face off against many Bloody Fingers and help Yura one day achieve his mission.

Yura may also be discovered again – although inhabited by one known as Shabriri. But be warned, his association with the Three Fingers brings forth chaos incarnate.

Shaun Dooley plays Yura and Shabriri as an Elden Ring voice actor. He has a lot of experience with acting, especially on Television, as he was involved in The Witcher, Misfits, and more.

A thief and criminal with a taste for boiled prawns, of all things. Blackguard Big Boggart can be first be encountered in Liurnia after he steals a necklace from Rya of Volcano Manor, while he is a thief, he does often provide helpful advice – he has a keen instinct for people’s true motives.

Dean Fagan is the Elden Ring voice actor for Blackguard Big Boggart – an actor with a history in British TV, most prominently working on Coronation Street for 4 years.

Loathsome is an appropriate adjective for the Dung Eater. A disgusting, revolting agent of cruelty and defilement; the Dung Eater is a Tarnished born cursed and so aims to become Elden Lord to reforge the Elden Ring with the curse of the Blessing of Despair. So all who are born will be born cursed and rotten.

The Elden Ring voice actor for Dung Eater is Jim Johnson, who breathes malicious life into the role – he has experience in video game voice over and animation alike, working on game series like Mass Effect, Dragon Age, and Assassin’s Creed.

A denizen of Jarburg, the secret village shrouded from the world for the safety of all the folk living in the small village. Unlike the rest of the lands between, Jarburg is a safe haven where jars may live in peace, protected from poachers who aim to use their bodies for weapons. Jar-Bairn is a young warrior jar who swears to one day grow big and strong, just like his uncle Iron Fist Alexander.

Jar-Bairn is voiced by Grace Saif, an actor who has worked on World of Warcraft and various TV and theatre pieces.

The Tarnished at last stands before Miquella, though perhaps not on grounds one would have suspected from the base game. Miquella the Kind lives up to his name, he is here to right his mother’s wrongs, and to make the world a gentler place. To do that, he must shape the world. Unfortunately for Miquella, we would quite like to keep our hearts and the only thousand year voyage we want is with Ranni. 

Naomi McDonald has been voice acting for video games since 2001, where she kicked it off with the PS2 game Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Along the way she has taken on titles such as Alien Isolation, The Witcher 3, Total Warhammer II, Xenoblade 2, Ark Knights, Final Fantasy XVI, The First Descendent… and it goes on. She’s experienced to say the least.

Perhaps with the importance of a role like embodying the much anticipated Miquella, Fromsoft could ask for no less! She lent her talents to them before too, playing as Chloanne, Milfanito and Dyna in Dark Souls 2. Naomi is also Young Voice 1 for the Female Tarnished that players can select when creating their character.

We finally meet Messmer in all his 18 inches of glory and he is not the Tarnished’s biggest fan. We were relegated to the very same group of, “Those Stripped of the Grace of Gold,” whom he crusaded against in Marika’s name. Yet grace has returned to our Tarnished has it not? Messmer struggles with this contradiction himself, pondering his mother’s motives throughout our tantalising duel with him.

Messmer’s dissenting opinion of us was Jack Barton’s first lines in a video game, but he has more substantial history in front of a camera. You may recognise him as Fop from Poor Things, David in the Netflix show Heartstopper, or the short Chronic for which he was nominated as best actor by The Little Wing Film Festival.

Needle Knight Leda is the first character that players meet when excitedly jumping into the Shadow of the Erdtree. Leda is on the surface what anyone would expect from the leader of Miquella’s devout: oozing honour, and embodying the kind light of Miquella in her garb who she fiercely reveres. 

What will the Tarnished find when they gaze beneath that surface? 

Naomi Yang is no stranger to performances for video games. She is best known for her role as Sage in the popular tactical shooter, Valorant. You can also find her in Diablo IV, Total War: Warhammer III, and more.

Outside of the computer realm, she has spent the wealth of her career in TV, most notably in the Sky series Wolfe as Maggy. You may also recognise her from Season 6 of Peaky Blinders as Li.  A highlight of her career has been her performance in the BAFTA-nominated film Lilting.

Sir Ansbach is the wise, measured, and thoughtful one of Miquella’s followers. He devotes his time to investigating what Miquella is doing in the Lands of Shadow and asks the Tarnished to help him track down Miquella’s crosses. He was a Captain of Mogh’s Pure Blood Knights but bears the Tarnished no ill will for slaying his former master.

Ben Miles is a prolific English actor who has starred in various roles outside of video games, like many on this list, Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree was his first video game credit too.

So, instead you’ll recognise him from film and TV shows dating back to 1989, but most recently in Star Wars: Andor, The Crown, and The Capture.

Along the path to the Jagged Peak one will encounter quite possibly the most iconic character in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree.

Igon seeks revenge against Bayle the Dread and will do anything it takes. He drags his broken body up a mountain side and along the way crafts arrows designed to fell even the mightiest of Dragonkin. When his body fails, his spirit calls upon you, the Tarnished, to aid him in his quest; will you take him up on it?

The answer is, “Yes absolutely!” because otherwise you will miss out one of the best performances in this DLC, executed by Richard Lintern, who despite this being his first video game credit has quickly won the hearts and minds of Elden Ring fans. 

Richard is best known for his role as Dr. Thomas Chamberlain in Silent Witness but has enjoyed a successful and well varied career in Theatre, TV, Film and Documentaries, where he notably narrated Between Life and Death which won a BAFTA.

Moore is arguably one of the friendliest characters the Tarnished will encounter in their journey through the Lands of Shadow. Though perhaps Ansbach contests him for that title…

Moore is the resident outfitter, merchant, and gentle giant of Miquella’s faithful. He arms the player with many useful consumables, upgrade materials, and cookbooks if you follow his quest. Be kind to his brood. 

Our big pot friend Moore is played by Freddy Carter, who has never taken a video game role before but is most known for his performance in the hit netflix adaptation of Shadow and Bone, Free Rein, and Wonder Woman.

Redmane Frejya, true to her name, is a loyalist of General Radahn who the Tarnished defeated in his scarlet-rot blighted state in the base game.

After being saved by him in the scarlet hell of Aeonia, Frejya now pledges herself to Miquella the Kind. Should the Tarnished take up arms with her in Belurat, she’ll recognise them as a fellow warrior that she is grateful to have around.

Stefanie Martini is a bristolian actress who has an extensive history in TV, with her most notable roles being her leading role in Prime Suspect 1973, The Last Kingdom, and The Gold which was nominated at the BAFTAs. Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree is her first video game credit.

The frigid, hell-bent on revenge Hornsent is played by Jonathan Forbes, who infuses his words with the dark history of the Hornsent’s people. He detests those of Marika’s ilk yet begrudgingly offers his alliances to the Tarnished assuming they too are devoted to Miquella – are they?

Regardless, tread carefully, for the Hornsent’s hatred burns hotter than Messmer’s flame. 

Jonathan made his debut in the acting world in 1997 and has since performed in a myriad of mediums from theatre to video games. His first video game credit was in the racing game DiRT 2 but you may have also heard him in Vampyr, A Plague Tale, and Dying Light 2.

Sam Glen plays Thiollier who is one of Miquella’s followers, but seems to have a deeper penchant for the elusive St Trina, especially after a certain marker of progression in the Elden Ring expansion. When he’s not entranced by his thoughts of Saint Trina, Thiollier is a softie that doesn’t think he’s much use to anyone, but stick with him and see him grow. 

Thiollier is a memorable character for many Tarnished due to his later available aid in your journey and questline.  

Sam has a substantial history in TV series, with his longest recurring role being the CBBC production World’s End. He also briefly appeared in the world’s longest running soap, Coronation Street as a recurring character.

More recently, he played in the highly acclaimed theatrical performance The Book of Mormon debuting in 2023 and still performing into 2024 as Elder Cunningham in the West End of London.

Residing in his manse deep within the Abyss, Midra is gripping onto the last strands of his sanity as he endures the Greatsword of Damnation’s Golden Crux. This horrifying punishment was thrust upon him by the Hornsent Inquisition, for the calamity he almost brought to the Lands of Shadow. He warns you to stay away, but what Tarnished could help themselves?

Attempt to slay the maddened man at your own peril. 

Midra’s pained pleas are squeezed out by Connor Byrne who is no stranger to Fromsoft games having played as both the memorable Father Gascoigne in Bloodborne and Laddersmith Gilligan in Dark Souls 2. He is also known for his performances outside of video games in Flushed Away, The Dumping Ground, and Emmerdale Farm.

“Long ago, we began as stardust, born of a great rupture far across the skies.” 

Found in Scadu Atlus, Count Ymir, High Priest of Manus Metyr is another monumental character for the lore of Elden Ring. He and his questline unveil the hidden truths of the Fingers, the Greater Will and Marika’s relationship with them. It brings the eldritch horror of Bloodborne to Elden Ring and it is beautifully unsettling. 

He is brought to life by the voice acting veteran Matthew Gravelle, who is also an award-winning animator and BAFTA-nominee for his acting performance in 35 Diwrnod. Notable roles from his voice acting history are Xenoblade, Final Fantasy XVI, and Witcher 3 where he played as Ewald Borsodi.

Jolán, Swordhand of Nighthand, from her youth trained and came to serve Ymir. Even if you care little for the lore, look at that fashion. It’s Sauron and Apollyon’s love child!

Just make sure you finish the quest right if you want her sword…

Jolán’s voice actress Eleanor probably draws upon the grit of her experience in worlds such as The Walking Dead as Yumiko Okumura, and Final Fantasy as Renda-Rae/The Ranger of Darkness to infuse Jolan with her cold dangerous distance.

Matsuura has also played roles in Wonder Woman and Jack Snyder’s Justice League as Epione, and is often remembered as Hannah Santo in Spooks: The Greater Good.

Grandam, formerly known as Hornsent Grandam, is an easy character to miss but one that no Tarnished should want to. She seems to be a veritable treasure trove of lore about the Hornsent people and hints regarding the magical world-system in Elden Ring as a whole. She has plenty of dialogue and offers tasty snacks, so be sure to return to her throughout your journey. 

If you missed her, get another playthrough going, and make sure to explore the Belurat Tower Settlement thoroughly!   

She is played by Sorcha Cusack, who has no prior experience in video game voice acting but is well known for her long running role in Father Brown as Mrs McCarthy, her performance in the cult classic Snatch and Sky TV’s A Discovery of Witches.

Found at the Jagged Peak, near the Cerulean Coast, the Dragon Communion Priestess Florissax is both the source of great draconic power for our Tarnished and great source of lore. She touches on Ancient Dragon and Drake history, Placidusax, the newly introduced Bayle the Dread, and what the deal is with Dragon Communion.

Will you consume more drake hearts in her master’s honour?

The Placidusaxian loyalist’s fires are voiced by Kajsa Mohammar who you might recognise from her acting debut in Endeavour, The Little Mermaid or even Dune: Part Two. She has also lent her voice to Final Fantasy XVI, Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla, and Vampire the Masquerade in various supporting roles. Prior to her acting career, she made her name as a fashion model.
