Wow, Wuk Lamat is really single-handedly ruining the DT story...

Can't blame everything on the poor quality of voice acting done, Wuk Lamat's VA had her moments, but then suddenly dipped horribly. It was very inconsistent.
But I've noticed the lack of quality in the other VA's too, it's like the direction wasn't there either for the English side in DAWNTRAIL.

There's always this thing I notice in a lot of dubs, that Japanese VA's actually ACT while sometimes English VA's just phone in their lines like they are reading from a paper, not being IN THE SCENE, showing us what the characters FEEL.
I feel like a lot of this expansion was that, a lot of the VA's just didn't act, sometimes Krile actually sounded lobotomized. Whether that's because of the schedule, bad recording location / timing or bad direction, I don't know. But I do know this, for the first time since ARR I'm switching to JP voice acting.

Yoshida said that they went with a different studio for the EN dub and at least one Scion VA said that they weren't given context for scenes unlike previously. They very obviously wanted to cut costs, which is probably why almost half the expansion's English dialogue is from a rookie who has primarily had bit parts.

Damn, is there a source for this? Can't imagine a worse thing than not giving your actors context of a scene lol, I think that's rather KEY, don't you think?
