[Feedback] Wuk Lamat's English Voice

[Tehmon]

That aside I said it on the deleted thread, don't know if it's the accent she's trying to make or her range but it feels limited in terms of expressions, I swapped to JP to make a quick comparison and I was happy to see how much of a cheerful personality she expressed on japanese, whereas on English I CAN see they're intending too but it's like, midway
This seen pretty much in the bird scenes where she's supposed to be scared or when hunting with the excitement, as others have said it falls flat

Pretty much. Whenever Wuk Lamat talks normally and is just sharing information and having banal dialogue during a cutscene, the English VA is not offensively bad or anything. It's fine, still a completely different character that lacks the nuances of the JP voice acting, but it's whatever. But when there's a scene that requires exaggerated emotion, the English VA is REALLY bad imo. Like, really terrible, Wuk Lamat ends up sounding like a bad cartoon. No such issues with the JP voice acting though. She does a great job at delivering the emotion, comedy and intensity that the scenes require.

Why this matters so much is because Wuk Lamat is going to be a main character and there are bound to be tons of emotional scenes and scenes that require exaggerated emotions from the voice actors. And from what was previewed in 6.55, the English VA is inferior to the Japanese VA. And overall, the Japanese VA makes me like the character more, perhaps because Japanese voice acting is often very categorized: this type of voice actor works for this type of character, and the Japanese VA does a great job of playing that archetype of a rowdy tomboy, which makes me understand the character more, and what the writers are trying to accomplish with the character.
