she has absolutely no range. always does just ONE voice for all of her charactersi'd rather listen to debra wilson than her
>>736862203I fuckin hate her voice. It feels like she has something stuck in her throat that tries to escape but can't. It genuinely is irritating to listen to, to me. You can be your ass I'll use the chinese voices in Tides of Annihilation
>>736862203her voice gives me the bone, not gonna lie.saucy english muffin
>>736862203>won awards for BG3 and E33I know you should separate performance from the actress, but Jennifer English just comes across as insufferable.
>>736862203Even if she did have rangeIt doesn't change the fact that people hiring her are going to ask for something elseJust look at Laura bailey
>>736862615He forgot the obligatory mention of being neuro divergent or whatever.
>>736862203>>736862332>>736862501dont you dare speak ill of OUR gay retard
>>736862203When I heard the french voice for Maelle, there was no way I'd go back to the english version
>>736862203>always does just ONE voice for all of her charactersI've only heard her in one game (I played E33 in French)
>>736862689also "i hate being called a 'voice actor'"
>>736862203I've been saying this about Laura Bailey for over a decade and people still worship her.
>>736862203I'm sensitive to deeper female voices (Claudia Black, Emma Gregory...), so yeah, hers is painful to my ear.
I think it's stupid how she brings her girlfriend everywhere. She had a panel with Ben Starr, but they decided to invite her girlfriend on stage too to answer questions.
>>736862842She said that...?
>>736862501I swear Nolan North was the only sensible VA to ever regularly star in big budget acclaimed games. Especially because below was said amidst the VA protest craze.>Performance matters. The performance of every designer, every programmer, of every hard-working and talented person who works at that office. Their performance matters more than mine. Without their performance, my performance wouldn't matter. It wouldn't even exist.
>>736862203>e-celeb thread
>>736862203this bitch has been in like 4 gamescall me after you've had to listen to her for 20 fucking years like Laura Bailey
>>736863056https://youtu.be/b27iLcoPHTg?t=217Nolan is based.
>>736862615Hot
>>736862203she won awards because the characters she played were from very successful games
>>736862203She can only "play" one role: a bitch who is either being insufferably snarky while thinking she is being badass, or throwing herself a pity party for being a victim. Every single one of her roles is just those 2 modes. It all made sense that that was the extent of her range with her acceptance speech for the award for E33.
>>736862973Her whole identity is being a lesbian autist, needs to remind everyone constantly.
>>736862203She's playing gotta catch 'em all with disabilities.First she was lesbian, now she's autistic too. What next?
>>736862203she won awards because she's gay
>>736862203Regarding BG3, I "love" how everybody praises her for some reason, while Minthara's VA is miles above with her stellar perfomance
>>736863056>ffw to today and the performance of programmers and devs have greatly diminished and is being outsourced to jeets and third worlders
>>736863018>The talented voice behind characters like Shadowheart in Baldur's Gate 3 and Maelle in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 shares her thoughts during a playthrough of the latter RPG alongside her partner and fellow actor Aliona Baranova. "We would never call ourselves voice actors," explains English. "I don't know if that's – I think that's a mainly American thing," she says. The conversation comes after a broader discussion on actors' roles.>English continues, citing Larian Studios' 2023 RPG as one particular example in which she's often referred to as a "voice actor" – a title she doesn't find entirely accurate. "For Baldur's Gate 3, I hate, hate being called 'voice actor' so much. It makes me really angry, because it just completely gets rid of all my other career as an actor." Outside of voicing characters and motion capture, English also did theater – and she'd "love to" again.https://www.gamesradar.com/games/baldur-s-gate/baldurs-gate-3-and-clair-obscur-expedition-33-actor-hates-being-called-a-voice-actor-as-it-negates-other-work-that-goes-into-roles-like-motion-capture-it-makes-me-really-angry/
>>736862203a voice performance should be judged on how well she portrays a character and their emotions through the voice work, not on whether she does silly voices for every character
>>736863276>she can only play one role>describes 2 roles
>>736863461>It makes me really angry, because it just completely gets rid of all my other career as an actor."Ok, she really is a retard
>>736863392The majority of people probably killed minthara so never even heard her
>>736863567Fair point
>>736862203I have a feeling she'll have competition soon if someone doesn't rein this fucker in.
>>736862203Charlie Cox mogged the entire cast and he spend 4 hours recording.
>>736863461lol, if it weren't because of those two roles she would be a nobody. Seems like she's got a case of Steven Ogg where se believes she's above a VA.
>reads thread to find out who this is>it's shadowheartShe won awards for that? Shadowheart is annoying.
>>736862203Not a big deal for me, I've only ever played one game that had her voice in it and I don't expect a second to come around so lack of range doesn't matter that much
The voice of Grace from RE9 should dethrone her
>>736863461>I hate, hate being called a crane operator, because it completely gets rid of all my other career as an engineerIf you were a good engineer, you wouldn't be a crane operator. If you were a good actor, you wouldn't be a voice actor. Get fucked.
>>736863809
>>736863835w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-what do you mean..?!
>>736863056He was also shitting on Naughty Dog for how they treated Hennig when everyone else was idolizing Druckmann and licking the ground he stepped on. Nowadays it's more mainstream to criticize that guy, but he was going against the grain on that.
>>736863845>If you were a good actor, you wouldn't be a voice actorThat's simply not trueNot saying she is good btw
>>736863567I knew Minthera was edgelord contrarian but I still could not believe the numbers Larian released. 14M pair with Shadowheart, 120k with Minthara. Out of that how many were completionists.
>>736863567Act 1 is kind of designed like ass>Forced to help the Drove kill goblins>Grove is filled with nothing but civvies and druids who want to be left alone>Literally zero reason for anyone not playing a raving lunatic or a tiefling hater to ever side with gobbos>Devs lock the best companion behind goblins
>>736863056>>736863218and he sadly paid the price for it. his offered roles fell dramatically since.
>>736864000Shart is basically impossible to miss as a companion if you explore at all.It's not obvious you can even get Minthara as a companion, especially before the update that just let you knock her out.
>>736862203last i gave a fuck about VAs, or was able to recognize them, was like 10 years ago. jennifer hale, nolan north, yuri blumenthal, courtnay taylor, claudia black. today i have no idea who is good or who is big.
>>736862203she restored my faith in british women
Erica Lindbeck is the best and it's not even close.
>>736862203>we need someone to voice this female character >oh, and she needs to sound like every other female character in games>I know just the person
>>736864483>I'll never have a jaw line that strong
>>736863056He was underutilized except for Dota 2. All the shitters just wanted him to do le nathan drake voice.
>>736864512>let's get her husband too
>>736863621I'm gay so this guy can stay. Sexy voice and he's hot. The brooding Chad should always be voiced by him
>>736862203I've no idea who that even is. If she's the annoying anime girl in every single dub then to hell with her
>>736864569He was pretty damn good as captain falcon in battletoads
>>736864525Thats why you need to stop the cycle.
>>736864569It's actually kind of ridiculous how diverse his voices were for Dota 2>Meepo>Ogre Magi>Brewmaster>Shadow Demon>Gyrocopter>Lycan>Troll Warlord>KOTLProbably missing some others.
>>736864578Her being in almost every single major video game, along with her husband and Troy Baker, makes me think there’s no auditions at all. They just call them up and ask if they wanna voice a character.
Having recognizable characters kills the VAs career.

>>736864803unions being corrupt? preposterous!
>>736864803Big if trueAt that point they may as well unionise and make sure no big production hires anyone outside their bubble
>>736863621>can only do a hokey interpretation of christian bale's batmanforceful whispering will never not sound retarded and I'm tired of retards thinking it sounds cool.
>>736863056>Without their performance, my performance wouldn't matter. It wouldn't even exist.Giga based
>>736864803Don't mind Laura and Troy in every single gameI even installed the Talion voiceover mod for Skyrimhttps://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/91517
>>736862203Shes fine, the problem is unlike any other VA she cant change her voice and has zero flexibility with her acting so she sounds the same everywhere, not to mention her mental illness, such a waste and shame
>>736864962it's sad
>>736863972anon is right, VA is just a side gig for good actors
>>736863853In her defense all the companions in Baldur's Gate 3 are annoying at best. One of the big reasons I did not like it.
>>736864119He's like 55 now, he just takes roles whenever he feels like it, he mostly just goes around to conventions and chills out with his VA buddies. IIRC it's mostly because he only does work for Disney, WB, and Valve nowadays because he has contracts with them.
>>736864773A quick google query suggests that one's jawline may have a stronger correlation with paternal genes, rather than maternal.
>>736865097NOOOOOOOOOO LUST AFTER MAN-FACED OLD BITCHES RIGHT NOW
>>736863056Nolan was almost the official voice of Mickey Mouse, but they decided to give to role to someone who was a relative of someone at Disney.
>>736862203They push her because she is a dyke. The Lae'zel voice actress is 100 times better but she is straight.
>>736863972No one calls Patrick Stewart or Sean Bean voice actors for doing voice acting during their career. No one would call Jennifer English an actor.
>>736864782kotls voice and lines are so perfect
>>736865346I don't care what people would primarily call them, they voice act, they are voice actors
>>736863461This exposes what she really thinks of voice acting. She thinks she's better than it because she did stage work before and no one knows her for that.The label comes from her most famous works, yet she wants recognition for what she sees as her "real" work.
>>736864291>Jennifer haleMore like 20 years ago anon,kek oh and you forgot Tara strong
>>736865171I have played video games for 30+ years and never once known the sexuality of a voice actor.
>>736863461She's like Ray Liotta only in reverse.
>>736865141I just dont understand how poltarded or hapa you have to be to be grossed out by this, but to each there own. I could use the statistical edge.
>>736862501>>736862332>>736862203Good morning sir
>>736865609So you've never browsed /v/. I see. Maybe you should go back to >>>/r/eddit ?
>>736863461>im an actor doing voice acting jobs!>but im not a voice actor for those products?? absolute woman moment. pussy fumes got to her
>>736864291It pleases me that I never bothered to figure out who any of these people are or care. I don't recall if any of the last 100 games I played had voice acting or not, I was not listening, I do not care
>>7368651412006 beauty standards in North Americas whitest city... I wonder what happened.
Ben Starr also has one voice but the difference is he does that brooding but not fully edgy and just vulnerable enough voice really perfectly, and the characters he voices are pretty much tailor made for it.
Why do most English VAs now have egos but I never hear shit for theater actors being VAs?
>>736865929because theater hammers out your ego real fucking fast
>>736865097Another google query later>studies suggest that while daughters may inherit a blend, sons may sometimes show a stronger correlation to maternal features.
I'm tired of women and their stupid shit in video games.This industry is RUINED.It should've stayed a boys club forever but thanks to jews we can't have anything good.
>>736863621They can never make me hate this guy. Utterly mogged clive's JP while actually voicing him at every stage of his life. He was also based as dycedarg in the FFT remaster last year.
i miss grey delisle voicing sexo evil characters lads
>>736866002You're being intentionally disingenuous though. >Recent studies suggest that while daughters often exhibit a blend of parental traits, both sons and daughters may frequently inherit key structural facial features—such as jawlines and symmetry—more strongly from their fathers. Conversely, sons often show a stronger correlation to MOTHERS for SPECIFIC traits, including intelligence, metabolism, and certain health factors, due to X-chromosome and mitochondrial inheritance
>>736862203Did you know that she licks pussy to oil up her larynx? It is what gives her voice that distinct annoying sound.
>>736862203Raphael voice actor was like 10x times better in that game
>>736865640Ta gueule pd
How can I do nasty things with Tara Strong?
>>736866404all the female companions were played by better actresses than hershe gets votes because she is lesbian and voiced the main/most attractive female romance option
>has absolutely no range. always does just ONE voice for all of her charactersThat's like 99,9% of voice actors you homo, you just hate her because she's a real homo.
>>736862203It's actually Ben, gets one ok role in a AAA fantasy game and he turns into the bbno$ of VAs overnight.
>>736867704>bbno$The what?
>>736867898You know
>>736867898That teletubbies song was a banger
Look at Logan Cunningham. Dude did like 6 voices in Hades, got a BAFTA for best performance and he keeps it to himself.
>>736862203Why isn't pic related Erika Ishii?
>>736868229I mean personally I would have shared it with the rest of the team but I'm not a selfish prick
>>736862203Definitely a very distinctive voice that has got her popularity other than two relatively big games under her belt to get her noticed.
>>736863621The difference is that Ben Starr is actually talented
>>736867704Ben Starr loves making himself out to be a joke whenever interviewed. Guy knows his talents and doesn't overrate them or anything, he's even admitted he's just lucky he got a few good gigs to get noticed up until now.
>>736868443ben starr makes himself out to be a joke whenever he performs hahahahahanah he's a good man
>>736862914I like her cutesy voice that she does for rise kujikawa
>>736863853Not gonna lie even in this picture I think shadowheart is gorgeous.
>>736862332chinese sounds so bad. anything is better than chinese va.
>>736862203one voice is fine if its done well. range is meaningless if its shit. she's good at what she does.
>>736863621If anyone needs more roles than that obnoxious-sounding Troy Baker, it's him.
>>736862203Thats not unique. Matt Mercer and all of his annoying friends are thr exact same way
>>736863461I get this same impression from Astarion's VA. Meanwhile, Lae'zel and Karlach's VA's seem chill as fuck.
>>736868443He's performative as fuck because that's in right now. It makes him look insincere.
>>736863056I've always liked this dude. He seems pretty charming irlhttps://youtu.be/IohnCWWruF4?si=awF5weVQjIcUNLPx&t=212
>>736862203>goes from Expedition 33 to 1348 Ex Votoyeah it's over for hershe can only do one voiceher insufferable LOOK AT ME I'M GAY will be her downfall - even in this pozzed industry
>>736862203Japanese VA also do the same voices all the time yet they're sucked off constantly
>>736878423true, they all get known for a voice and asked to replay it, myuki sawashiro might as well be the nip laura bailey but guess which one /v/ loves
>>736876917>her insufferable LOOK AT ME I'M GAY will be her downfallI hope so. I already have fatigue of her
>>736876917specially because she's a young kind hot white woman, she doesn't have enough points to be truly in the opressed class, they probably resent her
>>736862203>she has absolutely no range. always does just ONE voice for all of her charactersUmm actually I heard her doing an American accent in Marathon today.Of course I could still immediately recognise her voice, but at least she tried.
She's the fuckin Debra Wilson of VA now. She's going to be everywhere
>>736878423Jap VAs also get shit on by people in Japan. They're sucked off hard in other countries because, unless you speak japanese to an almost native level, you can't really tell what's a good line read or not.
>>736876917is there such thing as gay overload
>>736880158Faggot fatigue
>>736862203Why does she look like a cock goblin?
>>736862203literally who?
>>736862203neposlop
>>736863809she won it for ex 33
>>736876917>>736878578Ok
>>736862203I mute VA in video games. Even japanese VA's.If you turn on subs you can read twice as fast as they can speak. It improves pacing significantly and you don't have to listen to some obnoxious american/squeaky voiced japanese girl.
>>736869457Vietnamese is worse
>>736875602damn that chick's voice is hot. shame she's a dyke
>>736862203A dyke and a leftist Wait it's all Jewish shilling
>>736862203Just play E33 in French. It's pretty good.
Is she the jennifer hale of our time? As in vidya VA that's literally in everything?
>>736883741Hasn't reached that point yet but she's getting accolades and she's recognizeable by audiences so it's possible that she'll turn into that.
>>736883932Imagine all 3. Debra Wilson, Jennifer Hale, English. Just some ultimate vidya game about the Patriarchy. Mmmmmmm
>>736862203it's a great voice though
>>736862203Nah, she's good. You just dislike her because she says retarded and obnoxious things when she isn't reading lines somebody else wrote for her.
>>736862203I don't hate her, but she is definitely the sassy generic british lady voice. >>736863056this dude is equally as generic.
>>736864773Pyrocynical is my son?
>>736862203Her voice makes me hard so you're wrong.
>>736863621I like him, but he really needs some roles as comedic characters. He seems pretty funny.
>>736862203>she has absolutely no range. always does just ONE voice for all of her charactersShe's has like two notable voice acting credits in her entire career?
>>736864782>half of those are canonically rapistswtf
>>736865404>finders keepers...>... of the light
>>736864578Man he's so terrible, every character he voices sounds like someone trying to keep a burp down, even worse when the character has an accent
>>736862203>dont watch game award shows>only play jap games>literally no idea who this isFeels good man.
>>736862203Shot got awarded because gay (actually bisexual) woman, not because her performances are particularly notable. Shadowheart and Maelle have the same voice, the same range, and the same emotional beats. She wasn't particularly notable in either game, and was certainly not the best voice on display.
if you've appeared on critical role, i don't want to hear your voice
leather gloves mmmmmmmmmmmm
>>736865542Many many VAs think this
>>736889331I don't mind Liam Obrien as Illidan or Warden in For Honor but the rest just sound like themselves
>>736863461Meanwhile, /v/'s favorite black queen.
>>736889665I like her, I've always liked her. That everyone decides to scan her into the game isn't her fault, she almost certainly didn't demand to always play herself in every fucking game.
>>736889665I'm fine with Debra Wilson actually. She's always a fine VA. Not her fault game studios put her on as a mocap actor for every single role under the sun these days.
>>736862332It sounds like she has a big toe in place of a normal tongue
>>736862203>does only one single voice, but does it very wellSo she's a JP seiyuu? /v/ should love her then
>>736863621Nah, Ben Starr is great.
I hate them so much. They should have never made it out of anime purgatory.
>>736862203literally who? i don't play western shit
>>736893620laura bailey is fine for what she does.
>>736893620I hate people who glaze western VAs even more. There's people who go to conventions exclusively to get signatures from dub VAs that all just sound like this to me:https://youtu.be/ci8dIpNcyEY
>>736863621his voice was literally the ONLY good thing about that absolute fucking abortion of a game
>>736893701That's Tilda Swinton
>>736893760I couldn't imagine doing that unless it's the Dragon Ball voice actors. Other than that, all dub VAs are phony. They aren't the character and never will be.
I only know this woman from one game: Wuthering Waves and that was before I put the game back on Japanese voices a few days later.I'm not playing E33 so I'm failing to understand the hype.
>>736863218This was during the VA strike right?
All my favourite VAs are either dead or are now old. Pic is 73. Barry Dennen is gone. Tony Todd is gone. Sam Mowry is gone. David Scully has not had any work since 2013. Dave Fennoy is 74. Ellen McLain is 73. Gary Schwartz is 73. Tom Chantler and Linda K. Morris are most likely in their 60s. Dee Bradley Baker is 63. Fred Tatasciore is 57. Jen Taylor is in her 50s.
>>736864119what the fuck did he say that was wrong there?
>>736878989When I was in Japan I saw ads and cut outs of popular VAs. They seem like well respected super stars over there.
>>736862203Probably too dumb to realize she's embedded in a chinese scam to astroturf everything out of china.
>>736862203Are we suppose to know who the fuck this is?
>>736893620God Yuri fucking sucks every anime game with his one voice and Spiderman was unbearable hearing him.
>>736863056We ever find out what happened between him and Troy Baker? Somehow I feel whatever caused the falling out was Troy and not Nolan
>>736862203who dis?
>>736864483Hard to beat
>>736862615Hi Jennifer EnglishI also like licking pussy
>>736862203I have mixed opinions.I LOVE her Maelle voice.I HATE her Shadowheart voice.
>>736896583what's wrong with her Shadowheart voice?
>>736862203All professional english VAs are terrible, its a joke industry. The only time an english speaker will give a good performance in a game is if they're professional a stage actor or occasionally a movie actor
>>736862332>playing soulless chinkslopYou deserve what you get
>>736896674I hate the personality she's evoking, less so the merits of the performance. It's very whiney and bitch-coded.
>>736862914I met her and got drunk with her when she was a no name nobody back in like 2002 so she will always be special to me
>>736897085you missed your chance, just let it go
>>736862203she's okaybut I don't want to hear her anymore
>>736889665they could never make me hate her
>>736896725>china bad
