We Dub Winners

[Rannie]

Yeah. But my point (that this person can't seem to get), is that if they're looking for something along the lines of Morgan Freeman, well then my voice isn't going to make the cut no matter HOW good my voice-acting is.

I know what you were meaning and like you said it means that we as women got the short end of the stick because that was obviously what they were wanting and looking for in the dub since all the voices were like that. *sighs* I'm not even saying I should be a winner or a runner up. I'm saying it's all one sided and can be seen as sexism like that. I don't care if the trailer is and action trailer. I wanted to see a variety of it. People with different interpretations of how it should be.

First I would like to say congrats to the winner and the runners up but to the Na team that is not devs since it wasn't done by Japan... Isn't it a bit onesided that you did not chose one woman as a winner or even as a runner up? I mean really and all of them were deep voiced. I hate to say this and I know it most likely wasn't done purposely but that seems a bit sexist.

This is why people rarely respect us women gamers...always thinking something is against us when it's almost never the case.

Why do you even have a thought like that?

Uhm I am a woman gamer and when I hear all of them the same it makes me go wtf where is the variety. I never said it was sexist I said it can be seen or seems a bit.

Actually, no that's not why female gamers are disrespected. Female gamers are disrespected because women in general, in any place and any situation are usually disrespected. And I'm not even a feminist.

It's really hard to tell what they were looking for judging by the winner, no offense to him but it sounds very similar to the original trailer in my opinion; just deeper. Over 200 people entered, not sure I could stand to hear the same exact lines read 200 times, so I would assume they didn't listen to every entry completely. It is what it is, contest is over, congrats to the winners and lets move on to the more pressing issue; stopping Atomos.

if that were the case that they didn't listen to every entry then that still isn't a fair competition. You don't go to a dance competition to only see the first few seconds of it you see it (as a judge) in it's entirety otherwise it's not fair to the contestants and make judgement on the whole thing. The same thing for audtions as far as I know for actors you get a set of lines to read and they have each one read the whole thing with every person before making a decision sometimes having certain people come back multiple times.

Granted there are those occasions for actors that the directors/producers already have who they want in mind when they make the movies/shows but sometimes that isn't always the case.

I did notice that all of them were deep-voiced males...which IS best suited to the video. But it does also make it feel that as a female (with a rather high voice at that), I would never have stood a chance, regardless of how well I did.

Well, deep voices seem to fit overall narrative. A female voice would be pretty good if the trailer had been told from the perspective of a female character. Or as part of a compilation of quotes from different characters to represent different perspectives. Context is also important.

If there was a lot of time left for them to do so, I'd suggest that SE make a trailer from the perspective of each of the three leaders of the grand companies. Then you can get character variety and give more people the chance to share their talent.

PS: Almost forgot. Congrats to the winner and runners up. Good entries.

That is a great idea. Though I honestly didn't see it from a male perspective when I was doing the trailer dubbing for my entry. I think thinking about all of us as adventurers and even then that's the vibe I got from the original trailer. Not from them showing us a image of a man but from all the adventurers point of view. They just happened to use a man to do the voice over in the original. *shrugs*
