Don't call her a voice actor

She isn't lying

grifter thread

Makes perfect sense to feel that way, but actually complaining about it is embarrassing.

why are VA like this

>>717044070 (OP)
I won't, her voice work was SHIT as shadow the edgecleric. Nails on a chalkboard. Fucking awful. Shame on whoever hired this literal banshee. Had to perma bench her just to tolerate the game, if I ever replay it I'm killing her on sight or switching to a Jap dub or something.

>>717044070 (OP)
Alright, how about Egotistical Extra?

>>717044070 (OP)
It depends. Are they just motion capturing her face as she talks? Still a voice actor. Did she motion capture everything shadowheart did? Maybe a bit more than just a voice actor.

>>717044234
Honestly, yeah I agree with you. Had to think about it for a second but you make perfect sense. It is true that these days with motion capture and having to actually do facial work as well, a lot more goes into it than traditional voice acting. That being said, bitching and moaning about it is dumb because 1. no one cares enough to come up with a new name for it. 2. you're still being respected as an artist. 3. you're still not a "real" actor.

I love her voice and I want to save her from her lesbianism but complaining about this is petty.

>>717044070 (OP)
I still want to have sex with Shadowheart!

But she didn't even do the motion capture for Maelle. It was some French bitch.

>>717044658
Her gf really gives me the ick

>>717044070 (OP)
Oh look, both are also woke garbage.

>>717044862
Yeah, this is Maelle's motion capture.
Though, for whatever reason, Jennifer English is in fact the original voice for Maelle rather than the French actress. That game is a mess in the credits.

>>717044070 (OP)
Then she's just an actress. Problem solved.

>>717044070 (OP)
I mean she's objectively right.

>>717044070 (OP)
Technically she is doing more since if she does voice+ motion capture for the role than its the same thing as just being a regular actor.
But for videogames that varies between projects sometimes so most will just default with specifically highlighting just the vocal performance.

>>717044070 (OP)
Adding a dash of Jen English practically guarantees GOTY. Won't be long before other companies catch on and we see her in every other game.

>>717044775
Hey don't we all.

>>717044070 (OP)
I'll call her a whore instead then.

>Jennifer English
>because she's English

It was a sad day when they named her family. There's a specific meaning to names like Smith, Bacon, and Carter, but if the only name that could be given to Jenny's ancestors was "English," then it must have been a jobless and nondescript family. It's like meeting a woman called Brenda American.

>>717047156
it is a proud name, cutie
european cultures frequently name themselves by their ethnic/local group
asians too
you must be a pajeet/mutt/brownoid with no real history or heritage, seethe and cope

japanese """games""" getting mogged hard in that image

>>717044070 (OP)
i guess she's shitting on other voice actors here, for just delivering deadpan lines without any emotion
good
voice actors should be able to get into their character persona and role, method acting too, not just getting into a box and speaking lines of dialogue without any understanding or feeling of where they are
its the difference between that sweater wearing bitch in the silent hill 2 remake or the cop in resident evil 7, and reznov in call of duty

>>717044265
The irony is you never see the narrator for BGIII but she has more emotion and vigor in her voice than Shadowheart who you see regularly and just sounds like a whiny chud 9 times out of 10

this
>>717045065
What do you mean by original? Doesnt matter what language the game may be intended to play in nor the country of origin, english is always the default choice since its the most widespread. If it wasn't for the slav names and the occasional mention of being in HRE/Bohemia you'd think you were in England in KCD

>>717044070 (OP)
what does she even mean?
the motion capture guys should get more recognition?
so what should voice actors be called then? dubbers?

Hold your horses, we're judging her actual voice on the issue from a sensationalist headline. If I'm putting in all the work for MoCap, voice acting and all that "traditional" stuff, I'd be upset - and when asked directly by some journalist, isn't it natural to say, "yeah, it's rough being a VA when I do all this stuff?" I doubt she meant anything deeper than the opportunity to be frank with someone she could speak frankly with.

It's like, I have a garden and I work on it every day. I love my garden, but pulling weeds sucks. If someone asks me what I think about gardening, I'll say weeding sucks ass - but then you could argue I "hate" gardening because it's "so much work."

>>717049265
obsessed

>>717044265
Yea sh'es not a voice actor she's a bad voice actor. Having to listen to her "perform" next to Andy Serkis in expedition 33 is laughable.

>>717044775
Same! Maybe in heaven there’s a bunch of hot shadowheart wives for us to fuck. I’m hoping I get either a hot shadowheart wife or a hot rise kujikawa wife. Either way hot as fuck like in the game.

Worthless dumb whore.
Better?

>>717044070 (OP)
>like motion capture
where is she?

>>717044070 (OP)
I'll just call her a whore then

>>717050108
she didn't do mocap for any of her roles (elden ring, clair obscur, bg3) so this is probably a misleading headline or something

>>717049760

Yes? Why else would I be posting here on a Friday night?

Steven Ogg ahh bitch
Why do voice actors get all uppity when they do a bit of extra work besides reading lines off a paper?

>>717044070 (OP)
Man, that US union really torpedoed the reputation of voice actors huh

Yeah, thanks for the laugh.

Man, why is it that Japanese VA just do good jobs and then fuck off but western VAs just won't stop bitching about everything?

combination of Xanax and PMS.

>>717049367
>What do you mean by original?
The script was written in English and the first voice actors were the English voice actors. The game was dubbed in French after.
