...Martin always sounds like "he has something in his throat" - he has a warbling voice. Martin always sounds like he does in the video clip of him you provided. If you want to prove me wrong, then my all means, please provide a link to a single video in which Martin is speaking as he does in the video game.

As for the video you provided of Martin...that's what he always sounds like even in HBO videos...EVERY HBO video.

I can acknowledge the point that "maybe Martin sounds different in a recording studio" but...why not just use his normal speaking voice?
