It seems that they haven't really gotten all of the voice actors for DIII down, wtf...?
Perhaps release is alot further away than we hoped.
Recording voice acting is real fast. It doesn't take so much time as it takes money (studio time and hiring actors). It's not like you have to iterate for weeks on something Deckard Cain has to say once the script has been written (which is probably long done). The actors are professionals and it takes a couple takes max most of the time to get a good one. Choosing the proper voices and stuff takes more time.
You can rest assured that voice acting won't be what delays Diablo III if anything. However, I'm super skeptical about a June release. Something like November 2011 seems more plausible.
I'd like to add that the voice files in many cases aren't even in the beta from the start. In the Cataclysm beta for example, there were "some" voice files that werent active and more were added later in development. It's no indication of a delay that they may not have all the voice actors ready yet. Considering the time from the beta start to the release will be roughly 6 months, there's plenty of time to add the voice files even after the start of the beta.
My guess is they're focusing on Cataclysm for now (as in info/hype) since the release is in 4 days and after that we'll start getting more info about it. Even maybe an announcement sbout the beta (i'm thinking early 2011).

Oh man, would I like that...
I hadn't voted by the time you took the screenshot, can't see my name in there!
Were exciting times indeed, back then. Also the time of the StarCraft II announcement was exciting, even though it was expected. Everyone had a little hope of a surprise D3 announcement!

That's the best thing you could do, since he/she is a real life friend. I'm sure you'll get more valid information there than here.

There will be one after the game is released, or if the Hardcore mode is added to the beta.
I don't see Blizzard adding a resurrection either. They already said it die and you're dead. The suggested option is quite different, though!
