So this is something I've been thinking about while farming lately... my favorite and least favorite voice acting in D3. Feel free to share your favorites! I was going to make a poll out of this but I'm pretty sure that there would be more than 20 choices so that won't really work so well.
Favorite:
Zoltan Kulle
Azmodan
Cydaea

Remember that we're talking about the voice acting and not necessarily the lines they're delivering.
The monk comes off as awkward and often hits the ear wrong.
One example; When engaging the scoundrel about that girl he was supposed to marry, the monk says "THE FARMERS DAUGHTER" in a very odd, almost robot like monotone.
There is also a bug that I haven't heard anyone mention regarding the monk vocals. In act three 'Raising the Catapults', I believe the last catapult (the one you have to lift yourself), when you first click on the quest NPC the monk SCREAMS his line at well beyond max volume regardless of your settings.

Hopefully this isn't viewed as a necro.
I had that exact thing happen to me just now, literally maybe 45 seconds ago on my monk. I was confused at first because I couldn't hear most of the game sounds but the monk's voice was loud as fuck! I thought I had angered Ytar or something.
Seconded on ZK... dude should get his own expansion IMO.
I did like Hakan... his accent has an old-money tweak to it, for those with an ear for that sort of thing.
I didn't really like Cydaea... she sounded a little too 'cardboard cut-out femme fatale' to me.
...but "te-ROAR"... absolutely. Awful. And that git in Caldeum (well... they'll all mouth-breathing morons... don't stand in the green shit... IT'S. NOT. HARD.)... "Aye never belevved it would aynd like dess.". He's snake-bait.

"Who has brought this wrath down upon us"
OK.....here bitch, stand on this green circle and ask that question again.
I may be biased, since it was my first character, but I really enjoyed the VA who did the female WD. I don't recall actually hating any of the voice acting, but the lines they gave Leah for most of the game were pretty obnoxious.
He's voiced by James Hong and is basically a charicature of the character James Hong played in Big Trouble in Little China. I hated Shen until I made that connection and since then he's been one of my favorite characters in the game.
Cydaea was voiced by Claudia Black which is a semi-big thing among nerds.
I thought Diablos problems were more with just shitty lines and less with the acting. But he wasn't exactly a "great" voice either.
I liked Shen too. I've always been confused by all the hate for his voice or lines. He was pretty well done and I was a bit dissapointed that he didn't have more of a role in the game.
My Lovitz is from Ralph Garman's impression of him on Hollywood Babylon (Live from the Jon Lovitz Podcast Theatre!) and from his appearance as guest host with Ralph a little while back (http://smodcast.com/episodes/89/)
I gather his main claim to fame is Saturday Night Live, but that never got aired in my country so I wasn't familiar with him until recently.
Most of the voice acting is fine. It's just after hearing them all so many times they grate on me. Except the ghostly woman for The Matriarch's Bones event sounds like they grabbed someone from the break room.

Kulle is probably the best. Along with act 3 spider chick.
Never really liked Leah's delivery. And Covetous Shen grates on me.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I knew I missed one of my favorites.

Ahaha, I gotta say, if Lovitz voiced Shen I think I'd fall in love.
"Would you like a radiant star emerald? .. well then buy one! Because I need the money."
"I invented gems,,,,yeah, yeah that's the ticket"
I'm kinda dating myself here. I guess for you youngsters that don't know Jon Lovitz........................
