Is it just me or do they sound exactly the same?

Russian and Eastern Europe accents sound very very different.

I think R* knew even with bad voice acting, they'd sell a tonne of
copies, so they probably decided keep the cost on hiring some two bit
celebrities.

That Michelle girl sounds like a really bad porn actress. Actually,
R* probably used one of them.

hell yeah, R* probably did a bit of 'field research' on the habits of street
hookers for authenticity's sake. wouldn't be surprised if they employed
some for their, uhm...vocal talents.

Bad voice acting? I think it's the best in any videogame yet...and
hilarious to boot...

I've worked with Guys from Russia and East Europe and they don't sound
like Nico much. When I first heard Nico I cringed a little because it
sounds like a bad actor running lines, but its growing on me.

Yeah, if the game is only going to gross half a billion dollars, why
not cut corners.

I think the actor who does Roman is great though.

So do the actors actually do the scenes together? And do the voice
actors also do the motion capture for the scenes? I'd love to see
some behind the scenes video. the cutscenes are so well done.
