Id like to see some different voice options better suited to other races with typically "gruff" sounding voices like half orcs and dwarves. If i had to be completely honest I would be content with simply taking the current ones and simply have a pitch slider to increase or decrease the pitch of the voice lines as a quick compromise/easy solution

As for body types, I would like to see Gith have different body types consistent with some of the art available online (I feel males in particular are very skinny and not a fan) if they had half orc male body type (perhaps a touch leaner i suppose for consistency with source material?) Id be happy as a clam personally.

The lack of gruff, lower etc. male voices has been a complaint since (early) Early Access ... the ladies are better served in this regard (for once Da Man Not Keeping Sistas Down!!11).
And there ARE such voices used by NPCs - e.g that Tiefling Drill Sargeant Ashrak.

I would have liked a female voice that was a little more high-pitched (similar to Shadowheart) too. I'd have been happy with a pitch slider or something to that effect. They all sound pretty similar to me and I would have appreciated more of a variety.

Nothing against more body types, but BG3's depiction of Githyanki is actually quite close to the official lore across editions.

They typically grew either red or black hair, which they styled in topknots. Their teeth were pointed.

If anything, other species are maybe a bit too human in terms of behaviour for my taste, but maybe the elves of the Chionthar valley have grown distant from their kin

A peculiar effect/distortion/pitch of current audiotracks for voices depending on race would be much more immersive. I dislike the way dragonborns and half orcs sound humans to the ear.

For all the make-up and hair options body type always boils down to short and skinny or tall and buff (and female presenting can never be taller than male). I guess it's too late for a major overhaul but hopefully it's something Larian will consider for their next project. VerilyBitchie recently put out a great video on the subject.
