With Apologies to Sena Bryer

[Midare]

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.

There have been various posters that have pointed that her "hispanic" sound it's fake. Me included.

My source being the fact that I am south american, I live here, and I often hear south american people speaking english. I also hear Spanish people speaking english.

The inflections she uses are nothing like the ones that are common for us. Not to mention, we're perfectly capable of pronouncing the sound of "ph" syllables because the letter f which has the closest sound, exists in our alphabet.

Not to say she's the only one guilty of this, because at times Koana's VA seems to be channeling Antonio Banderas, but the difference between, say, Galool JaJa's VA accent which seems closer to authentic, and her, it's very noticeable.

The fact that that was her "authentic" accent, and that the director said "yeah, that sounds legit to me", makes it mind boggling on both sides.

SPEEEEEEN LISENTUME

[ReynTime]

The emotion on her voice rarely fits what the character is supposed to be evoking in scenes where they do more than have mundane chatting standing around. If you can't tell that by yourself and need someone else to point it out, I'm sorry, your standards for voice acting are abysmal.

All 4 languages This was what I could find, without the SPEEEEEN scene.

[Wildheaven182]

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?

Try the scene of speaking from the top of the building at the ceremony. No volume, same exact casual inside speaking voice as anywhere else. When shes supposed to be speaking out to a crowd.
Listen to any other language dub and you can tell the change in everything based on context of the situation, but nothing in english.

You can always search things yourself you know. It's not hard.
Here, I think "lower case yell" fits the issue perfectly:

I can only laugh at those degenerate people who really think they have to send death threads to people because they dont like their voice in a video game hahaha. Like, who the hell cares? As if those base dwelling creatures would ever leave their hole to actually follow up on it. Thats just the internet and if you post some stupid shit on twitter and perform poorly at your job, you are bound to get some kind of shitstorm and have do deal with it in a professional way. Whining on twitter wont help

Well look at you, keyboard warrior. Maybe read the entire thread and not skim through. You might actually learn a thing or 2.
