With Apologies to Sena Bryer

Nobody cares about the VA, they care about the aweful writing.

Sure, keep telling yourself that, but it was an absolutely awful performance by the VA as well. It doesn't help that the VA is using this to try and get sympathy points for being an awful person as well.

Even if the writing was better and they got the best Hollywood movie producers it still wouldn't save the horrible performance the voice actor did for wuk lamat. Nothing would save the voice performance the voice actor did a horrible job but people want to find others to blame for her performance rather then blaming the actual performer.

Especially for Japanese media, where one of their most recognizable, strong male anime heroes is played by a literal grandma

NAGITO KOMAEDA????

I think Windwalker was probably trying to make that point, at least that's what I got from it. Nobody cares about the VA as a person, or even as a performer... They care that this particular performance was pretty poor, and it wasn't helped by the writing.

I do not get why people keep saying the VA's performance was awful. It was fine within the limits of the character as it was written (which was cringy) and the dialogue given to use (which was bad at times).

What makes it awful to you? Is it because the character doesn't sound like the stereotypic Hispanic as all too often portrayed on TV and in the movies?

Is it because you're expecting the accent of a certain dialect and aren't hearing it? There are multiple accents within the various Central and South American dialects just as there are within American English and British English.

It would be helpful if you would explain why you feel it is bad and give specific examples from the MSQ (please don't share any from 6.55 - almost all voice acting in that patch was off, including the Scions).

She has a flat monotone voice with no emotion it has nothing to do with wanting an all British cast. It made me feel no connection to her or feel any emotion whatsoever from her performance it's not just the poor writing. No amount of good writing or hiring a better voice director would change my mind on her flat monotone tone throughout the expansion. I don't get what nationality or accent has to do with not liking her performance because if she was part of the British cast or any other nationality she would still be just as bad.

She has a flat monotone voice with no emotion

Could you post a video example (not the spheeeene example please, we've heard that one many times already) of what you mean by flat monotone with no emotion?

All the various times she was meant to yell but it coming out soft and emotionless or any instance of her trying to be "angry" she seems to not be able to show any emotion other then happy and maybe sad in scenes.
