My great ideatm was that it should be the same voice actor as the main character, but each skill is recorded using a different microphone/studio/location and, preferably, with a unique tone/emotion or whatever to give the most possible texture to the voice and make them instantly recognizable from each other. Electrochemistry could come across like a phone call from your ultra-hyped friend waiting in line outside of a disco or something. That kind of thing. But there are so many skills!

I think full skill voice acting would be a nigh-impossible challenge, from a thematic perspective. Maybe occasionally like other characters? The most entertaining moments to voice act would be when the skills argue with each other. Otherwise, I bet it's easier to communicate "this skill(aka yourself) is lying to you, but even it doesn't know that, probably, so it has your best interest at heart?" in a way that is a slow discovery for the player. With voice acting, it might be too obvious or too unclear unless the voice direction is absolutely top-notch. But with $TEXAS, they might pull it off...

Now, also get it perfect for every one of the supported languages :psyboom:

all of them would be Gilbert Gottfried in various states of mental wellness

2. Isn’t Brad Dourif the guy who did the voice of Chucky, and also played the human who proceeded him, Charles Lee Ray?

The skills are basically party members. (or in one interpretation, competing Dungeon Masters)

Oh, a lot about Klassje makes sense if you consider her Drama must be through the roof.
