[Feedback] Wuk Lamat's English Voice

I don't mind Wuk Lamat's voice, really. Some lines are weird, but honestly every character has super weird delivery in this expansion. Like they don't know the context.

Whoever was in charge of directing the English cast must have been super checked out. Even longtime fan favourite voice actors give super weird performances.

Sorry to the talent who I am sure tried very hard despite being in over her head.

SE really should have chosen talent with acting experience, and preferably from the proper area. Listening to this annoying zoomer thinking she "I did Drama in highschool, and everyone always told me I can do anything, so I can do this too" as her fake accent shifts all over the place. And outside the accent the intonation is all wrong, there is no real true emotion in her voice, the acting is just shocking. She often comes in worse than the ARR voice acting lowpoints.

So I get to play a lala boomer. She's an immersion breaking actress and a shocking VA, with too much fry and a fake accent that's all over the place, who needs a solid size 11 boot in the tailpipe to get it into gear.

She's not the only one, either. Thancred sounds super weird during some cutscenes. No clue what's going on with the voices this expansion.

Fixed that for you, friend. They're really going all in on boneheaded decisions this expansion.

So it's an ACTOR playing a part. Why is this bad? Or you trying to say it needs to be someone of that race doing the voice acting? Last time I checked, miquote, elezan, rothgar, etc don't actually exist. Actors play a part, voice and accent included.

I dont think that her VA is bad the writing is just bad with this expansion. When your character is written in on dimension you can only do so much, it would have been better if the story was about exploring this new world instead baby sitting Lamat. The focus should be about the WOL being a adventure again not getting involve with politics again.

It's bad because the thought "This sounds like a white person trying to sound Brazillian" took you out of the experience and made you realized you are playing a video game. It breaks immersion.

Yes, I think also, it's because the pretend LatAm accents are bad across the board, that the VA behind Wuk can't get a carry. A minor character can do a speedy-gonzales stand-in like voice, but not any of the mains.

Her voice sounds like 2 balloons rubbing together most of the time. It's very strained and she can't emote with it at all. She basically speaks in the same cadence all the time and when she strays from that the voice falls apart horribly.
