[Feedback] Wuk Lamat's English Voice

[Themarvin]

Her voice is really good for the character as well as region, if you think it spoils it because her accent has a bit of a trait that Erenville has, then they grew up in the same area, no need to hate, it works and it works well, most here is trolls anyway.

Dismissing opinions you disagree with as trolls is pretty poor. A lot of people have actual grievances with the character. Just because you don't share their opinion doesn't invalidate their criticism.

Isn't Erenville voiced by a Scandinavian actor and has a Scandinavian-leaning accent, not a Spanish/Portuguese one?

"Then I wonder...am I the aberration for thinking thus? And I am filled with dread... But now I know I'm not alone. Not the only one for whom the flowers weep."

I'm not meaning to question your intelligence but Wuk's VA simply cannot do it.

If you want to hear some examples of consistent voice acting, where the actor or actress is able to maintain the tone and manner of speech, just go listen to Fem V in 2077. Go to Phantom Liberty and look up when Fem V says "RUST IN PISS SHITBOT". Also since we are on 2077, I didn't know Spider Murphy, Misty, and Meredith Stout were all voiced by the same actress. I legit couldn't tell at first, because that's how good they are at getting into character and making sure that they maintain the consistency required to voice a character.

As a counterpoint to your points about hating on Wuk because she's not male, everyone loved Fem V to death.

Another example of consistent voice acting is the old Persona 3 games. One actress played 2 different characters with 2 totally different voices. She managed to do both, sometimes even in scenes where they talk to each other. Wuk's VA got a long ways to go to get on the level where players expect voice actors to be at.

Bad voice acting can make or break characters or even games.

Why would the people from a far away continent that is a literal parallel to the Americas have the same accent as the people from the literal parallel of Europe?

You missed the second half when I said I like fictional languages the most. It's an immersion thing I don't want to associate the Indian inspired area with literal Indians because they speak in an Indian accent it reminds me I'm playing a game.

Wuk Lamat voice is OK.

Now Cachya or w/e it spelled (97+ quests NPC), now this is awful VO. It feels so amateur to me.

I think the same few lvls. But then, terrible decisions was made by VO. Voice was really flat or out of place .

In last trial, when she appear in battle, that "Sphene, listen to me" was REALLY, astronomically bad. Like its emotional battle, not school drama-club.

[SillyCrow]

It's bad. I feel like the character was miscast. Why did an American get hired for the role when the hiring studio is based out of London and everyone we've gotten has been from the UK so far?

It's not that weird. The expansion is set in the "New World" which is kinda similar to the discovery of the Americas.

Though it would've made more sense to pick someone with a mid or south America accent (someone with a different mother language than English).

I keep pressing forward when it's her turn to speak in the voiced scenes, I just read it fast, so I don't have to hear her full sentence.

The voice actor is all over the place with the accent (I wouldn't care if it was just a poor accent (compared to real life cultures that the dlc is based on - it's not a one-for-one comparison so I don't mind if they have an accent in real life that is from comparable real world locations/cultures) -

but the accent is all over the place and not consistent, it's like she comes up with a new way to pronounce the same sounds every line) Also the pitch variation is grating, most people have a variation of using higher and lower sounds in their speech (unless they're like Ben Stein or something).

However, like the accent it's so non-consistent it doesn't feel like the normal up and down lilt of someone speaking naturally.

Because it's not. The VA grew up in the American East coast and is half puerto rican. Great, that doesn't mean you can nail an accent. I'm half Mexican and lived my entire life all over the American Southwest. I can't do a Mexican accent except when I'm actually speaking Spanish. Anytime I try to do a Mexican accent in English, it's just bad and borderline offensive. That's how the VA's accent feels.
