I saw this, I instantly thought "Guess they're going to change her voice to lock her in as Malfurious Cheerleader." But no... I was wrong...
Ladies and gentlemen: Tyrande is now living proof of the racial link between night elves and trolls

Eh....perhaps she's supposed to sound like a night who recently descended from dark trolls, but still. Listen to azshara's voice:

Doesn't sound anything like that. So what the hell.
That's 'cause she's supposed to sound like a complete sl*t. As for your dark troll theory, it may be possible but I don't think so. The night elves had already distanced themselves pretty far, and I bet we wont be hearing Malfurion speaking like that in the instances.

Azshara = Amazing
But why have they suddenly insisted on ruining Tyrande? Seriously, first that horrible new model, not THAT for a voice?

Eh I like tyrande's new model (other than the green hair, when has tyrande ever had green hair?) just this voice.....good god....
I don't like her gorilla hands...

....Um.....anyone else guessing that's her corrupted voice?
Edit: Yeah, the second one is her corrupted voice. As for the first; it's not that bad, since quite a few of the Night Elves have that tint to their voices as well.

they really love the new voice-actress they hired :P not only she gets to voice that female troll priest on the new ZG, she also now voices Aggra, and apparently now Tyrande too. Blizz should had known better than to rely on a single actor/actress for multiple characters. I mean, Metzen has a VERY cool voice, but it gets jarring when so many characters are voiced by him (Nefarian, Ragnaros, Thrall, Saurfang, Varian, Vol'jin, most orcs). And that's with someone who actually has a cool voice, now imagine how jarring it is to have the same actress everywhere and she has a bad voice?
Also, Azshara has been 100% disapointment from day 1. Not only her model is VERY average (ATM Jaina and Sylvannas look hotter than her) but her voice lacks the sultriness one would expect from her. I was actually expecting a voice like that of the Valsheress did on Hordes of the Underdark. Not that of a petulant child.
The final nail in the coffin of Azshara for me (asides from the fact that we dont actually fight HER, we fight 3 of her bodyguards and once we kill them she just leaves :S) is that they changed her already bad model for something out of a nightmare
lo and behold the terror that brews in zin'azshari

Edit: as horrid as her new model is, at least they corrected the 2 flaws the old model had. A: that her hair IS silver, and B: her eyes ARE golden)

as far as I can tell, that thing is legit.
While I kinda aplaud that blizzard tried to correct the many mistakes in the original model (Again, her hair is silver, and being a noblesse, her eyes were gold) they just killed whatever remnants of hotness from her. She was already very average-looking in her former model. Now she's simply a
Butter Face

Again, for the models: Lore rarely matches up with the game.

Assumption: the new voice files are so far only known to be for the Well of Eternity (ancient past) and the corrupted version in the End of Time. If the new voice/model are universal then the rest of this goes out the window.
Theory: Blizzard's going with the idea that the non-Highborne Night Elves of the time were a lot closer to their Troll roots than now? Hence the less elegant outfit for WoE Tyrande, that they would speak with a Troll accent, etc.
Accents can erode over time, and with thousands of years it's not too crazy to think she might end up sounding different, but they would need to have the actress do an un-accented version for the present for it to work.
As an aside, I kind of like the Azshara model(s). Aside from the proportions, which, like the new Tyrande, seem to be slightly more muscular than the normal female NE, or is that just me (I also agree with the "ape hands" comment above)? I hope when we get a fully-featured in-game version of post-Naga Azshara they follow on from the octopus-legs concept art instead of just making her another Sea Witch.

this has gone way past matching or not matching up with the lore.
Dude, she is HIDEOUS. Look at that face......... sweet lord, she's now the kind of elf one would put a paper bag on the head before boinking.

Honestly....I've never found the character models overly attractive; so this isn't new for me.

Most notably Night Elf and Human females have always been distrubingly unattractive.
Although, there are various in-game models which can be easily seen as attractive, depending upon personal opinion of course.

I've said a model looks good, but never been attracted to any of them.
