its like 95% of guys too, but i straight up havent heard a dub chick who didnt sound awful

why are dubs like this

It's not like the Japanese voices are authentic, either. They're overexaggerated to the point where people actually say that watching anime is actually a terrible way to learn Japanese.

tru, but there are at least those of which that are restrained and can sound normal

tho i just thought of a good dub woman

genkai from YYH

also idk why i specified anime, its in games too. like the women in yakuza sound sooooo much better and more realier than the dubs

they have a hard tim hiding the fact they're over 30 yr voicing characters that are like 14
Apparently Yakuza dubs suck anyway

Play FF7 Remake, Kid Icarus Uprising, or FF16 for a good dub

thats true, but i seem to be the only one who thinks so

also, the sekiro dub sucks imo as well but u get laughed outta the room for saying so

Give an example.

I usually like dub VAs but I think I get what you're talking about
Hyperdimension Neptunia is a great example of old sounding American women that just do NOT fit their roles at all. Noire especially. One of the worst dubs I've ever heard in my life.

Regardless of the quality, it's crazy to me that people actually play games heavily set in Japan with English dubs. There shouldn't even be an option for it in games like Sekiro or Yakuza. It makes no sense.

i kinda agree, but also i do think it legit helps some with accessibility, so i wont be anal about it

i hate it, and then youtube "VA" chicks ALL imitate it, 80% of vtubers do it, it's obnoxious. OVERprojection and high pitched voices does not a good performance make
Do the cedar trees still standing

sub vs dub is dumb. if you aren't a Japanese speaker you have a bias for subs because you don't realize how cartoony/exaggerated Japanese voice acting can be dumb at times. Not saying dubs are always better, but the realize why it sounds off because you actually understand English and can detect the minor nuances better.

Do you care about this for every game or just the weeb ones?

Resident Evil 4 is in Spain, Assassin's Creed is all over the planet, Age of Empires should be in twenty different languages...

I don't understand the blind dub hate. Do you also cringe at Disney movies because you can't stand the English voice actors despite these voice actors also voicing characters in various cartoons and Anime?!
*flops*
no one is blind dub hating. im talking about a specific thing regarding dubs. if dubs were good id prefer them, like i do for yu yu hakusho and 4kids yugioh. stop being a silly lil guy

When those voice actors do Disney roles, Marvel / DC animated roles, etc., they dont overact themselves into a prolapse like they do for English translations of Japanese media.

Its kind of like how Hayden Christiansen is a good actor in anything besides Star Wars because George Lucas sucks as a director.

The only voices I dislike are the ones that are clearly trying to fake a high pitch "kawaii" voice, both sub and dub. My ears can't take it when they scream.
DI MOLTO!

It's funny because when I think Japanese dub woman I think so high pitched helium must be involved and prefer dub women.

To be fair, Neptunia isnt exactly a series known for quality, dignity, or standards.

In general, American dubs put way too much emphasis on every fucking syllable and breath.

I'll always take a good dub over sub, though.

same deal as sekiro. everyone seems to taut p5 in particular as one of the best dubs, a dub done right

but its audiobile

I prefer dubbed anime to subbed because Japanese voice acting drives me nuts. The men all sound intense to the point of constipation and the women are overly meek and timid. Except for the tsundere women who are just bitchy. Though in fairness that's kind of hard to avoid in any language.
