[Feedback] Wuk Lamat's English Voice

[Souljacker]

Well, finally got to the part where she's introduced and then I went to that youtube collection of VAs, they all sound kind of childlike. But then again, this is SE, I'm not expecting Tracey Wiles or Jennifer Hale levels of VA. There's so much terrible VA in the game this one didn't stand out as particularly bad, but it did sound like they were caught between directing her to channel her inner Jaheira and squeak like an anime child.

But, calling out this particular actress when there is so much borderline and outright bad VA in this game I think does still point to a very specific agenda.

The difference is that this is our first impression of her. We already have our thoughts on the other ones since we've been with them for so long.
No need to make it about anyone's agenda. I just didn't like her work. But yes as others have also pointed out, the whole patch had some pretty bad voice acting in general.

Full discloser, I didn't think much of the original English voice cast and I didn't think much of the new one either. At first.

Give the voice actor time to better get to grips with the character. It's honestly too early to judge.

I also think it's unfair to compare who is likely an amateur voice actor to someone that's probably had more training. Voice acting seems to be taken a LOT more seriously in JP.

If you throw your toys out of the pram whenever you get a dub over you don't like, don't be surprised when they just decide that we don't need a version in our language at all.

I think the acting was OK but the mixing was off. Even Krile and G'raha sound off.

[Silverquick]

I thought the english voice actor was annoying as hell, like fingernails on a chalkboard annoying. I seriously was making comparison to the Jar Jar Binks character type of annoying.

On another note... I'm not sure where the DEI came up in this, but I don't approve of DEI either. It's about like screaming... but but but I'm a good biggot not a bad biggot...
....but you still are one aren't you when you do that kind of thing. Discrimination is still discrimination regardless of which "side" it's on.

I agree, it's crazy overblown. I don't see a 75 page thread about any of the lalafell males that physically couldn't house vocal cords long enough to produce the baritones they have, after all. But add ONE trans woman to the cast and holy crow you'd think the final days were upon us. This specific voice is an issue that absolutely HAS to be addressed.

get outta here with that

See this is what I mean, y'all keep reposting this twitter post from a year ago and it makes me think its nothing to do with the acting, y'all are just mad she had an opinion you disagree with on the internet.

You don't disagree with trying getting people fired just because of their gender?
thats a funny one

So, did you just link the tweet because other did?

Did you not actually read it?

Saying she thinks they should have hired a Trans person to play the character is not calling for someone to be fired.
