While I applaud Tbug's efforts, I generally think of Karzoug as being a little more...ruthless sounding, if that makes any sense. He should have a voice that is both quiet and threatening, one that demands that you listen closely to hear what he has to say. Matthew King's voice for Illidan in WarCraft III is pretty much what comes to mind for me, although maybe that's just the "ten thousand years" thing reminding me of him.
I'd record my own take on Karzoug, but I doubt that my actual delivery is anywhere near as cool as it sounds in my own head. Ah well.

so here is my usual bi-monthly question:-)
tbug,
any news on your mic?
Can we hope to hear Karzougs voice again anytime soon?
My second group played through burnt offerings, your work was used for the second time with great effect
Thank you again, also from my players !!!
any news TBug ?
I've always heard Bill Nighy's voice from Karzoug (Underworld, pirates of the Caribbean, etc)

Wow, what a necro'ed thread. Anyway, I've actually been working on a "Karzoug voice". I imagine his speaking style is a little more staccato than most modern people.
As a trial run, I've recorded his monologue from the end of Fortress of the Stone Giants. If people like it than I'll do more. The link is mediafire at the moment. If people would rather I use a different file-sharing site let me know. So without further ado, here it is:
Mokmurian's Final Gasp
Note: I didn't include the "cruel mocking laugh" since this is a trial run and I didn't want to overdo it right away.
Second, I've actually been working on developing an actual language for Thassilonian. It's not fully-developed, not even close. But I figure Karzoug isn't actually going to address the party in Common so it's only appropriate that there is a Thassilonian version of his monologues. Also, not every adventuring party speaks Thassilonian. So for groups without a translator, here you go:
Mokmurian's Final Gasp - Thassilonian
Let me know what you guys think. I'll take feedback of any kind.
Cheers,
Tony
Yknow, I was going to say Hugo Weaving as well. A quiet, calculating voice. Smooth like velvet and as dangerous as a blade covered with bees.
...what?
I imagined Karzoug to represent the worst/most dangerous qualities of Lex Luthor and Ming the Merciless, and to have Max von Sydow's voice.
Everyone seems to love Tbug's recording. Want.
I had no idea these were still in demand. Do the links work now? If the files are corrupted I can always rerecord, too.
Sadly, tbug, the links do not work. If you could upload them again, the community would be most thankful.
That's weird. I just reuploaded them.
Huh, the entire domain is down. Okay, this is a bigger job than I thought. Sorry.
Hah! "Reskin" Karzoug as Curry's character from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"...
I can only think of only one voice for Karzoug... Vincent Price.
Sorry for me it's Christopher Lee
Charles Dance (Tywin Lannister) would be the perfect voice for Karzoug.
Unless you want to portray him as slightly deranged from being trapped in his demiplane for 10,000 years, in which case:
Christopher Walken.

Pathfinder Legends—Rise of the Runelords #6: Spires of Xin-Shalast
The audio adventure from Big Finish is really cool, highly recommended. Karzoug's voice is in the Chapter 6 trailer, about a minute in.
Dotting for future reference.
