This is deliberate. In the original Half-Life, all the scientists had Kleiner's voice actor, and all the security guards had Barney's and G-man's voice actor. The BMS team managed to find two people who could emulate their voices really well.

So... That's another concession to nostalgia?
I've not had trouble with control panels. At first I checked them all, as I did in HL2, but it didn't take me long to look out for the key objects - the big, red buttons.
I sometimes got a bit aimless, completing objectives then backtracking, not sure if I'd done everything, but then I had similar problems the first time in played through HL2; I guess I don't really listen when there's other stuff going on. But it is sometimes hard to hear the NPCs as they hand out their exposition if there's other noise, like the guard who whispers at you outside the silo with the three-arm-monster. Sometimes they talk to you when you're getting shot at, too.
