Ah, oy, let me add a correction to one of my statements, since the lack of clarification totally changed the meaning:
In all honesty, while I definitely loved the voice acting in the game, I didn't see it as particularly phenomenal. As for FE9/10, I mean, let's get serious, the voice acting was pretty obviously not a priority when they were making those games.
Anyway!
Yeah, Kenny's kind of an ass. Funnily enough, I had the opposite issue: I didn't back him up in the salt lick scene, and that colored his perception of me throughout the rest of the game. "Oh, you helped my family constantly and even pulled the trigger in Episodes 3 and 4 so I wouldn't have to...but you didn't help me when it really counted, Lee." Blah blah blah. I got him to come with me anyway when I told him that Clementine "was family" and that I'd been backing his family up throughout the entire story. It was a pretty cool moment.
Anyway, I definitely didn't hate the voice acting for The Walking Dead, but it wasn't a stand-out favorite, either. Maybe I'm just more used to playing U.S.-native RPGs.
If you want to know more about the development process for each episode, there's an interesting series of interviews on GiantBomb that you might like.
That one is for the fourth episode, and has links for the previous three at the top of the interview.
--Wow. There's a pretty substantial spoiler for Awakening in the preview still for their video review. ...At the top of the page. ...Where everyone will see it. Um.
