Ditto.

This whole subject is hilarious. Who the hell do they think they are? You create the voices for videogames....ooohhh your soooooo important to the world.



On another note I would still rather have shitty English voices than high pitched annoying Japanese ones with subtitles. LOL @ people who enjoy playing games with the Japanese voices turned on and know nothing of the language. Fucking purist tits.

lol, Bushido Blade! (I think, I can't remember)

Haven't even heard him before. I'd prefer someone that speaks like a human being. Y'know, someone that doesn't say *every single sentence* in the same overwrought tone.

He's just as bad, possibly worse.

Theyre not solely videogame voice actors, ass. They just do voice work in general.

Some games benefit from having a language you can't understand, I know it sounds stupid but that's the case for me atleast.

Maybe for the teenages, but any character over the age of 20 tends to have a deep voice in a Japanese track. For example, one of the main female villains in Stella Deus has a deep, sexy voice in Japanese, but the English dub is high and nasal, which does hurt her character a bit since she was essentially built around her voice. Pretty much every male voice in the game, including the teenagers, was deeper in Japanese. There's nothing really wrong with the English dub though.

Most game VAs are non-union work, especially for the non-high profile titles, so this won't change much.

I had to play Sonic Adventure on the DC with Japanese voices. The way they didn't even TRY to synch the mouth movements to the english track was killing me. Plus, the voice acting was ass. I'd rather hear gibberish that at least sounds somewhat emotional.
