Latin American Spanish though.
It's very plausible they want to vett their actor a little harder this time, bring them in creatively sooner, to find one who doesn't default to "my job sucks" after two movies.
I love Xenia's voice in that dub. She was also Nicole Kidman's voice in The Peacemaker.
And much like Pierce himself evolved in his performance, his voice actor loosened up a bit when he came back for Die Another Day. He's my favorite of the three voice actors Brosnan had.
Never thought he had a very strong voice either.
No doubt his is the weakest of the bunch , but he had a smoothness and charisma that countered it. Not to keep beating up on him , but ATJ has neither and has a Whiney quality that Brosnan doe not.
I can't imagine him being big enough for it, I haven't seem him be much fun. I could picture Oscar Isaac doing it well.
Another option. First scene, at the doctor.
- Sorry, James, it seems when you crashed your DB5 into that helium truck, you inhaled enough gas to last for five films. It'll take a while to expel it all.
- (In high-pitched voice) That's alright, doctor. I'm sure we can find a way to pass the time. (Leans in for a kiss.)
- No way, I don't kiss men whose voices are higher than mine.
The possibilities are endless.

Edit, this was about the “Voice “ post above.
Anyway, I don't think Johnson is a sure bet. In fact I'd say he's unlikely to get the role even if he is actually auditioning. Still, good actor and I'm sure he could be involved in a Bond film even if he isn't our next lead.
My hunch is the next Bond will be in his thirties, and would've been born around the time SKYFALL came out.
So we've got plenty of time to speculate......................
Twenty years until Bond #7 is announced, so.
Yes, I know what you mean. They want a solid actor to audition in order to get the ball rolling. Possibly even one to use as a sort of 'safety net' actor in case others don't work out. Like I said, I wouldn't place a bet on Johnson being the next Bond, but the guy's definitely a good actor. Heck, why couldn't he play a younger villain?
My guess is that Sevond will be born circa 1988-1990, so he will be either 34 or 35.
It'd be nice if the next actor had a better experience playing Bond than perhaps Craig had during moments of his tenure. Not saying he was mistreated, and we need to keep in mind that his pay check is far more than most of us will see during our lifetime. But he did go through a number of broken bones, bruises, sprained limbs etc. Not to mention the stress, long hours, contractural requirements etc. Much like how Connery's issues with the producers/the requirements of being James Bond were ironed out when Moore got the part (affable as he was) I suspect much of these problems will also be kept in mind when the new actor is cast.
Yes an actor modulates his voice in function of the character he plays, but it's easier if he's already a natural baritone. I'm not saying ATJ or any actor with a higher voice should not be Bond, but it's an aspect that will worry me.
Like I said I think it's more dependent on how expressive the actor is with their voice and how they adapt it to their role.
I mean, Robert Pattinson has a rather posh, public school, even high pitched voice. His Batman has a varied vocal range that goes from 'raspy and whispery' into 'gruff and threatening' which is unlike his own natural pitch. I'm sure there are other examples of actors with naturally less 'powerful' voices but have the ability to adapt them to their roles.
