Wuk Lamat VOICE ACTING APPRECIATION

[Cheapshot]

Her JP voice is great, her english voice and accent on the other hand is beyond awful.

What is wrong with her accent exactly…?

it's an inauthentic forced accent. i know it's acting, and acting is playing pretend, but he could have at least done a good job when trying to replicate that sort of dialect.

You've repeatedly misgendered the voice actor across multiple posts. Why should anyone believe your views on her work? Bringing negativity to an appreciation thread is already belligerent behavior.

i mean. use your ears? also he is misgendering himself. not my fault.

On top of the issue with the accent sounding inauthentic and forced (which isn't that unusual tbh, most actors are no good at imitating an accent that isn't their own) - the VA had a bit too much to juggle between the forced accent AND the "cat" voice she was trying to do. I think that maybe, just maybe, she would have done better if she only had to do one of those. The reason for my thoughts are the occasional bits where either the accent or the cat voice slips, and surprisingly... the VA seemed almost better for it. Still not stellar or anything, but better.

Tbh I'm not even sure why they had her do the weird cat voice on top of everything. The German VA is amazing, but it's just a normal, fitting voice, no weird cat stuff. Same goes for the JP VA.

It's racist.

No, seriously. South American here, as I've mentioned multiple times. The accent put on for Wuk is literally the equivalent of someone voicing a chinese character and then drawing out the Rs every time - think South Park's City Wok manager, but not played for laughs. It's REALLY racist.

South American here. Going to hard disagree. Her accent barely sounds South American to begin with. Not to mention, any notions of racism is the perception of weirdos on the net that look for something like racism in a video game. If you seek to find something to be offended about, don't be surprised to find it. It's weirdo terminally online behavior to assume racism with real world context in a video game to begin with.

If that's how they wanted the character to sound, so be it. The fact that anyone assumes racism or otherwise is idiocy and immaturity in themselves that they are trying to project onto others.

I've literally never cared about these things, but Wuk's voice is so bad and infact indeed, /racist/, by using the generic intonations witH T, H and R that nobody actually uses when speaking native spanish or portuguese. It ain't terminally online. It's a fact. You're either not actually from SA, or a bit delusional my dude. Combo that with the only food being tacos and all represented cultures being monocultures with no variation, and - again, you're either not actually from South America and just trying to do a funny gotcha, or you're delusional.

Correct...ish. Ancestry, not naturalized. And it's not not a Puerto Rican accent. It's an attempt at a weird amalgamation of of Brazillian and I want to say Chilean accent that forms a hilariously racist and extremely fake accent.

Unless, of course, you're saying people are born with accents and that it's a biological factor? God, I /hope/ you're saying that.

The accent is closer to Spaniard / Cuban / Mexican than any other Hispanic culture. Tacos were one food featured in one local of the expansion and it just so happens tacos (of different forms) are very popular among majority of hispanic cultures and cuisine. That is quite literally the safest food option if I had to chose any one thing that has graced every culture equally. To say otherwise is outright disingenuous.

Beyond that, we can agree to disagree but yeah it's terminally online behavior. First, you take real life and are trying to overly transpose that to a video game. Literally complaining that tacos being a feature is "racist" or stereotypical and not "representation" or whatever bs you convinced your head canon tural should be. Ultimately, Tural is NOT any of these real life locations, so trying evaluate it as such or perpetuate perception onto it is terminally online main character syndrome in full swing. It's not your world to build, it doesnt live off your beliefs either. At best, hispanic cultures are an influence and that's about it. It's not meant to be a 1 to 1.

The VA is Puerto Rican.

And she’s a woman. Take this garbage elsewhere, or better yet, grow up.
