I have a holy trinity of Lara VO’s who I’ve wanted for a while: Hayley Atwell (long may she reign), Keira Knightly, and more recently Daisy Ridley. Not to everyone’s taste as I’ve been aggressively told on many occasion (🥴) but those are my top three future Lara voices!
Maia Mitchell for younger Lara Croft Daisy Ridley Hayley Atwell Eva Green Emily Henstridge for younger Lara Croft I could see Cate Blanchett or Claudia Black voicing an Elderly Lara Croft to be honest
Dude I would absolutely love to see Daisy Ridley as Lara I think that would be amazing ^__^. I was actually hoping she'd be Lara in that previous movie reboot before Vikander got it. Then again that movie was based on crappy survival Lara who I don't like so maybe it better an actress I like didn't play her then 😅. Her and Hayley Attwell are my top choices
@@SethMcKenzieTV I don’t know why they took that weird decision to replace Judith to choose Jonel Eilliot! Her voice doesn’t fit with Lara and it’s the worst voice of Lara!
@@SethMcKenzieTV Both of you have good points here.. I slightly prefer Ms.Gibbins over Ms.Elliot, but both have been absolutely amazing at the job. And just to mix things up, I'd throw the OG voice of Lara, Ms.Blonde in 🙂
@@SethMcKenzieTV plus, Jonell's voice has a better fit for a more hard-edged Lara. Which worked wonders for a darker game like The Last Revelation. I'm sure Judith could have pulled it off as well, but in either case, both voice actresses gave performances that fit their respective games perfectly.
the Legend lara absolutely has the best voice. I know you said she has a “motherly” voice but i think they meant it to be that way, she can do a badass Lara voice which we see at the end when confronting amanda. Legend voice with AOD lara attitude would be perfect
As flawless in every way as Cate Blanchett is, there's no way they could afford her! Of the voices here, Perdita Weeks is my favourite, followed by Gemma Arterton. For me, the actress must be British and must sound aristocratic. I would absolutely love to have Keeley Hawes return though.
Perditta Weeks is my choice. The way she speaks and her knowledge about history has my attention. But if she could even play Lara, she has the looks for it. Yes, she has gray eyes but that's a detail I can forgive. :) There is also Gemma Arterton who really resembles Lara. 🤔
I was hoping Gemma Aterton and Florence Pugh would be on the list, but I think Emma Watson would also be a great fit for a younger Lara. Judith Gibbins will always be the voice I think of when it comes to Lara.
Perdita Weeks would be amazing, wow ! I got really big Lara vibes in As below so below (very underrated movie) Keeley Hawes has to be my favourite though :>
I like Gemma Arrterton as a Lara Croft actress. Not just her voice, but the aesthetic too! I know it’s not a popular opinion, but I really liked Keeley Haws’s voice portrayal of Lara Croft too ☺️
Out of these Perdita Weeks impressed me the most. I believe what she says, what makes it believable, and that's very important to me. I liked the clips you used here for her (they really emit that special 'TR vibe').
For me it is Perdita. That's the perfect sound. Gemma and Paige would also be good choices in my opinion. I wouldn't feel comfortable with Claudia Black, an Uncharted voice actress, playing Lara Croft, you know what I mean?!
She was also "Queen Gorgo" (niece/wife of Leonidas) in "300" (2006) and "Sarah Connor" in "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" (2008-2009). If the next incarnation is done in a similar way to the latest "Resident Evil" games, she could even do the motion capture.
They would never do this again but Minnie Driver was a fantastic Lara. I think the LAU timeline understood Lara’s snark and rage. However, they really didn’t get Lara’s sarcasm. Minnie really combined the first 3 Lara’s voices together in the revisioned shorts. Her snark and sarcasm was on point.
This is probably an odd choice, but since Marion von Stengel voiced the german versions of most Tomb Raider games and also the two Angelina Jolie movies, her voice is so engraved in my mind that she has became "the" Lara Croft voice to me. I don't think she could do a British Lara voice, but one can dream. She just could do it all. She could sound strong, confident, playful and also emotional. Especially the LAU trilogy brought that out of her.
I love Keeley Hawes. She's my absolute favorite. (But, yeah, from your list, I'd go with Perdita Weeks, who reminds me of Keeley). BTW, have you heard Vanessa Kirby's voice? 🤤 She did narration for a podcast called SPYSCAPE, which is available on UA-cam.
Very good suggestions over there Seth. And honesty my comment might offend other fans... But I really really disliked Camilla's voice. Not only the accent was horrible but just her voice was very unpleasing. It fitted the new character well but i hope she never returns.....
I think Hayley Atwell is an absolutely amazing choice for portraying Lara. Florence Pugh has the same playful teenage tone to her voice that I didn’t like about camilla
@@SethMcKenzieTV Maia Mitchell for younger Lara Croft Daisy Ridley Hayley Atwell Eva Green Emily Henstridge for younger Lara Croft I could see Cate Blanchett or Claudia Black voicing an Elderly Lara Croft to be honest.
I heard recently that Hayley Atwell might be playing Lara for the Netflix show, which immediately dtruck me as the most obvious choice anyone could make. But I also think Daisy Ridley or Kaya Scodelario could be pretty good as Lara as they both have the acting chops for it (be it live action or otherwise).
@@SethMcKenzieTV fair, I just think she has a Lara like persona to her lol. two others I think would be excellent, Toni Colette or Charlotte Gainsbourg!
The Perdita lady could be a really good choice if she can pull off the playfull, witty side of Lara too, her voice sounds kinda too serious. You know that line from TR Legend - Ghana "Oh look, its Rutland. Fancy dropping down for a chat then?" it's really important to me that the actress can pull those off and not sound too serious. Gemma would do a good job too, she kinda resemles the most a mix between the classic Lara and the new rebooted triology, sounds posh, but got that youthfull, warmer tone to her voice
For me Perdita Weeks is a bit too soft spoken for the sassy Lara I want and miss. I'd prefer a voice with a richer tone, like Florence Pugh or Hayley Atwell.
The lady that voiced Lara Croft in TR2 and TR3 NAILED it. She had the perfect amount confidence, attitude, and wit of original (the real) Lara. She IS Lara Croft, not this new, helpless, 21st century woke Lara
Perdita Weeks sounds perfect

Judith Gibbins will always be the proper and best voice of Lara I’ve ever heard. I consider it the real voice of Lara!
Her and Jonell were the best!
@@SethMcKenzieTV I don’t know why they took that weird decision to replace Judith to choose Jonel Eilliot! Her voice doesn’t fit with Lara and it’s the worst voice of Lara!
@@KhaledSaadF they didn't want to pay 2 voice actresses and because Jonell could do young and mature Lara, they just kept Jonell for all of it

Perdita Weeks even looks exactly like Lara in TR1! When I first saw As Above So Below Lara Croft was the only thing I was thinking of!!
If I had to choose a VA I would definitely bring back Jonell, Judith or Shelley. They are the definitive definition of Lara Croft 👏
Yes lad but if those weren't options, then one of these would be bangin'!
The girl from the WWE movie sounded like a natural Lara Croft 😊

I absolutely love As Above So Below it pretty much is a Tomb Raider film with horror
Perdita Weeks 100% !!!

Liking Keeley as Lara is a VERY popular opinion ;)
@@SethMcKenzieTV so glad to hear that! Other fans I know of say she sounds “too nice” but I reckon she is the best combination of sass and class! 🤩

Legend Lara voice was perfect to me

Agreed, Perdita is that traditional posh lara. Looking away from the screen I can hear Lara
Late to the party on this one, but my pick is Rose Leslie. Her voice work for the now overlooked game ECHO reminded me a lot of Lara.
Lena Headey is my top choice for Lara, I loved her as Cersei in GOT.
She was also "Queen Gorgo" (niece/wife of Leonidas) in "300" (2006) and "Sarah Connor" in "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" (2008-2009). If the next incarnation is done in a similar way to the latest "Resident Evil" games, she could even do the motion capture.

It would be stellar to hear her voice in the new TR. She sounds very similar to Shelley Blond.
You know I think we should bring Jonell Elliot back for voicing Lara Croft again, she has many emotions and detailing its perfect for tomb raider!
Melissa Barrera would make good lara Croft in both live action and in voice acting in my opinion
Yeah, considering that Lara was originally supposed to be Latina.
I love Keeley Hawes. She's my absolute favorite. (But, yeah, from your list, I'd go with Perdita Weeks, who reminds me of Keeley).
BTW, have you heard Vanessa Kirby's voice? 🤤 She did narration for a podcast called SPYSCAPE, which is available on UA-cam.
Haven't heard it but thanks for mentioning
Perdita would be my choice.
Claire foy would also be a great choice for Lara.
Of all the ones shown here, I'd choose Claudia Black.
Perdita so far or I think Laura Haddock's voice suots Lara as well.
Out of this list my favourites would definitely be Perdita, then Amy, then Claudia.
Very good suggestions over there Seth. And honesty my comment might offend other fans... But I really really disliked Camilla's voice. Not only the accent was horrible but just her voice was very unpleasing. It fitted the new character well but i hope she never returns.....
I think Hayley Atwell is an absolutely amazing choice for portraying Lara. Florence Pugh has the same playful teenage tone to her voice that I didn’t like about camilla
I think Hayley Atwell is a very good choice to voice Miss Croft. The fact that they chose her for the Netflix show is a step in the right direction.
Yeah I like her voice!
@@SethMcKenzieTV Maia Mitchell for younger Lara Croft
Daisy Ridley
Hayley Atwell
Eva Green
Emily Henstridge for younger Lara Croft
I could see Cate Blanchett or Claudia Black voicing an Elderly Lara Croft to be honest.
Omg i love how Amy Pemberton sounds!!!

Perdita for me :)
Gemma for me 😁
I agree about Camilla, that American twang feels wrong for Lara. I’d want Keeley back tbh.
Keeley came back for COD.
i play the games in portuguese anyway, so not a big deal for me, but Perdita would be lovely for people who play in english.
Claudia black and Amy pemberton are amazing suggestions. Maybe Jemima Rooper?
Surrane jones would be a great voice actors
Interesting choice. I nearly actually included Mad Maya from Corrie as well 😅 Her name is Sasha Behar
@@SethMcKenzieTV she has that Angel of darkness grit!!
@@SethMcKenzieTV Surrane Jones Doctor foster character also says “No.” bluntly and often, always gave me TR1 energy 😂👀
Oh shit I love the idea of Cate Blanchett! Another one I think would be fantastic is Eva Green if you’ve ever seen her in Casino Royale ;)
@@zacharyantle7940 I feel like Eva's voice is way way too deep and croaky

Steven Seagal, anyone? 😀
Amy Pemberton ^_^.
Good God, a furry Lara called Tara. XD
Kate Beckinsale, Hayley Atwell, but the real deal is Shelley Blond
Gemma Arteton, please.
Kate Beckinsale, hands down.
how about Elizabeth Henstridge (Agent of Shield) or Alicia Vikander (Tomb Raider - 2018)
Someone who can imitate Judith Gibbins.
As long as they're British, written by British writers, and aren't voiced by Camilla Luddington.
I love you Seth 💕 You have a sexy voice yourself
For me Perdita Weeks is a bit too soft spoken for the sassy Lara I want and miss. I'd prefer a voice with a richer tone, like Florence Pugh or Hayley Atwell.
Really cool pfp w the chain bro
Stay based 😎
We need to get you more subs
How much is Lena Headey
TIM CURRY
Or Nolan North
What's gonna be the name for this new timeline then?
"Unified Lara"? or more likely "Reboot #3"
