Ashantara.8731 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Is it just me or did they swap the voice actress? Either that, or the poor woman was suffering through a cold while recording her lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanna.4762 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 She sounded a little different, but I can't really tell. What I can say is Kasmeer's new hair looks like someone dumped a bucket of water on her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyuDragnier.9476 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 She sounded a little like the old VA, but at the same time didn't. New direction for the voice maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A shame, I loved her old sexy voice.Actually, playing on a second character, I'm not sure. At times she sounds like the old VA doing a more upbeat performance. Could be she is trying to get in character after a long break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Her performance was off regardless. Something didn’t fit, but I can’t tell if it was a diff VA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't get the feeling that it was a different VA, more that it was someone trying to be upbeat and supportive for their partner while also being a bit tight-lipped since a god tried to kill her, that god deals with flames and, oh joy the FLAME LEGION IS HERE. So I wonder if she was given the direction to sound like someone recovering from a trauma and not her voice was too 'sexy.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt H.6142 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Kas sounded a bit off in her cub event as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashantara.8731 Posted September 18, 2019 Author Share Posted September 18, 2019 I still wish her sexy voice back. It's her voice after all, regardless of the circumstances. It sounds fake when you suddenly change it. She used it before under any circumstances, even when she was angry. Now it sounds like a different person. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donari.5237 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Her voice is still sexy! Even more so for being more natural. <3 Sumalee Montero, ever since she was on Critical Role to show just how warm and wonderful her voice can be. Marjory's diction always seemed out of place in Tyria. Like, when she was introduced they did it in a noir way and then had to stick with it even though her sister talked completely differently (I expect people that grow up closely together to have something in common in how they talk). The new diction allows for a lot more expression of emotion, too, since noir detective is generally a cynical one-note voice.My head canon is that she put on the noir voice when she was working as a Divinity's Reach detective so her clients would feel they were getting the real deal, and now that she's moved on she's dropped it.

videoboy.4162 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 She still has the voice, she's just mentally and emotionally wiped out (most likely has PTSD). She'll probably slowly begin acting like her regular self as time goes by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
