...and yet he still has Booker's voice of course, even though quantum flux is the only good explanation for why they're different Yeah that's bad writing

At the end of BaS Pt 1 when Elizabeth confronts you with the truth and the repressed memories flash in front of your eyes your character does begin speaking in Comstock's voice all of a sudden and begging for forgiveness, but then she cuts you off and kills you

The best in universe explanation I guess is that the "Comstock voice" is an affectation that he only puts on when he knows he's supposed to be playing that role

They pulled this before with Atlas and Frank Fontaine in Bioshock 1 having completely different voices, but they were in fact voiced by the same guy (who has a lot of range) and they just lied in the credits

And surprisingly enough despite the jokes made in the game in hindsight about Fontaine adopting a corny Irish accent to fuck with you the guy actually is Irish and it's the American accent that's fake

Which is kinda hilarious given they're *both* seemingly exaggerated caricatures.

Yeah he said neither one is his real voice, they're both him doing an impression of someone from a movie

Apparently there's some confusion about this and all the official wikis say Greg Baldwin voiced Fontaine and Karl Hanover voiced Atlas but I dug up an old interview where Hanover said they're both him

They did want Fontaine and Atlas to sound completely different, but they liked him enough when they got him for Atlas they wanted to know if he could pull off a "Fontaine voice" so he could switch back and forth to represent Fontaine's mask slipping

And when he could, they decided to use his version, but since Greg Baldwin had already been signed on as a union actor and Hanover entered as a non-union actor union rules said Baldwin's credit had to stay

(So I guess something to keep in mind - in any given video game there is a chance you're favorite actor was replaced by a "cheaper non-union equivalent" and they're lying to you about it Which is legal under union rules as long as they still got paid)

This is also borne out by Greg Baldwin not being cast in Bioshock 2 or Burial At Sea, despite Fontaine's voice appearing in both. On the other hand, Greg Baldwin voiced Uncle Iroh in Avatar season 3, so he is legit good.
