What's up with her voice?
She sounds like a gaijin.
>>159700622
Her voice actress is young and inexperienced.
>>159700661
>young

>>159700622
That's actually how real japanese sounds like.
It's her first role as a voice actor so she still speaks like "normal".
>>159700661
>>159700731
Name? She doesn't seem to be on the ANN page.
>>159700622
>She sounds like a gaijin.
Normal Japanese people don't sound like anime characters
>>159700661
I wish

I find it cute.
>>159701493
it's so different and unique that it's somehow very attractive
Based on her official profile, she's actually 3DPD actress / tarento.
>>159700929
I haven't listened to her at all, but...
>Star Driver (TV)
If you sound so newb that random anons will call you out even after seven years of acting experience, you're probably not very good as a seiyuu.
>>159701493
>>159701809
Try watching Japanese mainstream TV. After tons of average sounding 3DPD newscasters and idols, you will never find their anime roles cute, exotic, or unique (ie. you realize how good actual seiyuu are at their jobs).
>>159701943
I don't watch live action television here, so I don't know why I would watch japanese live action television for the sole purpose of ruining this small gift I've been given.
>>159700929
Meh
>>159702130
>Ew York
I hadn't seen this pun before. It makes sense though.
>>159700622
she sounds like anime movie va from summer wars or girl who lept through time
>>159702130
She looks like a halfie.
>>159700622
For those who want to hear her, but don't feel like downloading the episode (like me).

>>159702797
Fuck off.
>>159700622
I don't know why, but I love her voice. It does something for me.
How I'd describe it is that she doesn't sound like 'anime'. That sounds weird but there's objectively nothing wrong with the voice, but it just sounds odd compared the the usual anime-ぽい voices we're used to.
>>159702793
Women who wear anything but burkas are whores
>>159703254
Those only aren't whores because they are beaten if they whore around.
>>159702682
Oh shit, that was weird.
Can't put my finger on it tho
>>159702682
>>159703302
>>159703182
Doesn't sound that different to me.
Watch Ghibli movies if you want examples of non-standard voice acting
>>159702682
You were too late. I watched whole episode of pure curiosity. Her non-acting was just a minor disturbance in the whole shitfest.
How can anyone watch or read something like this, even ironically.
>>159703458
I don't care about the show itself but i love quizzes. So i watch the show only for the quiz part and try to answer the questions.
My life is so empty and shallow ...
Her voice fits the character, it's just the design which misled me think that the voice would be similar to Mayako's voice from Anelog.
>>159702682
Can confirm, sit between 3 Jap women in work, thats what they sound like. Normal
>>159702130
i actually think she looks cute. i haven't heard her acting but is it really that noticeable? or is anime talk really that retarded? I've been watching for so long, i can't tell.
Miscast. And probably a newbie, because she can't act for shit. I'm about to drop this show only because of her. I can't stand her retarded, nasal voice.
>>159700731
>how real japanese sounds like
With cotton stuffed into your nose? even my japanese sounds more japanese than hers. I mean,I don't have the flu and I can pronounce, to start with.
>>159703750
I've been living in Japan for 17 years now, and you obviously never heard a Japanese person speak.
Do you need youtube video links starring normal people, to start with?
>>159702130
She's a fucking kid.
>>159703999
>even my japanese sounds more japanese than hers
Spot the weaboo.
>>159700622
I like it. Very much.
>>159704095
Japanese is easy to pronounce.
>>159703999
>I can pronounce
So won't sound like a real Japanese in the least
下手すぎてびっくりした。
演技が出来ない上に鼻声。面白そうな話をまるでぶち壊してる。
>>159704173
Well I certainly do.
>>159702159
Jew York makes more sense
>>159703999
>even my japanese sounds more japanese
>>159704250
Japanese people who come to my cashier at the Lawson sometimes don't watch my face when they talk to me, and when they look at it in the middle of our interraction, they suddenly freeze in shock realizing they were casually speaking with a gaijin. That happens every day.
>>159702682
>>159700622
Her Japanese sounds fine. But, I will explain why people might be having issues with this scene and her other scenes.
Generally, the voice acting is done before the animation. Voice actors use the storyboards to act out their scenes.
In this instance the voice acting was done after the animation. The likely cause was that another voice actress had started production, but either fell ill or cancelled her contract half-way through production. So, another voice actress had to be called in to redo those scenes over the top of the animated version.
When you compare the sound to the mouth movement, you can tell there is a disconnect. It's obvious in her case that she did the voicing post production, which gives this uncanny valley effect to the sound and the images.
This is the same reason why most dubs just don't look right. The mouth and the words and sync up.
All said and done, I liked her voice acting. It was more real the regular stuff you get in anime.
>>159701943
But Kimi no na wa's VA was also non-VAs, also with Erased, yes? Then why they sound normal?
>>159704355
That doesn't explain why all the other characters are well voiced, and only her, a catastrophe.
>>159704355
Next you're going to tell us it's the others who couldn't do their jobs right. Well, fuck off.
She7s new and can't act which is only normal, and she's the one who isn't doing her job right.
>>159700622
fuck you guys stop talking shit about my waifu. you fucking weabs can't even speak japanese who are you to criticize this average sounding girl for sounding so average and not conforming to your seiyuu-fu stereotypes
>>159704604
he fucking explained it to you you fucking mong. only HER character needed to be RE-DONE. all the other voices were recorded in the ORIGINAL SESSION **BEFORE** the scene was animated
>>159705531
I think her being average among everyone being super-anime makes her cute and unique.
>>159704355
>This is the same reason why most dubs just don't look right. The mouth and the words and sync up.
You are full of shit if you truly think viewers' problem with her and dubs is because words don't sync with mouth movement.
Everyone would say the exact same things about her even if you cut out the animation and listen to the episodes like a voice drama CD.
What do the elevens think of her?
>>159700721
Well, she doesn't have the right kind of experience.
>>159704355
She still sounds bad even if you close your eyes, though.
>>159708081
The voice doesn't match the emotion shown by her character. It should be higher because she's supposed to be excited/enthusiastic in this scene. As others have noted, there's nothing wrong with the voice itself - the VA is simply a poor actor.
>>159700622
She's going to take what she wants from that shota, and he can't stop her.
>>159700622
srsly, her voice actor doesnt fit in anime industry. she is cute but they dont even show her pantsu and her voice just hurts.
fucking dropped.
>>159702130
Pretty cute.
Just watched the second one. Her character and voice grows on me every time she talks. Will continue watching if only for her voice.
Her voice is the best thing about this show
All ZR gags were pretty funny for what it's worth. Not to mention beautiful.
>>159714215
I knew the answer to that skirt question before she even asked it.
Felt caught.
dropped this because her voice is so out of place
>>159702130
Cute haafu. I'd fill her mouth with semen.
I think she sounds fine on her own, but with the rest of the cast having the typical, over-the-top anime voices, she doesn't blend in very well. If you listen to just her parts by themselves, it sounds more like something from a live action show.
>>159702682
Sounds a bit like Kino. I think Maeda Ai doesn't do much voice acting either.
>>159702682
Theres nothing wrong with her voice, sounds fine, fits the character and the mouth movements and scene, its a cute voice desu
Stop nitpicking over pointless insignificant bullshit /a/, plus some variety in voice acting in anime is always appreciated.
>>159700622
people get so used to the same 10 VA
that they bitch when some new girls comes out of the blue to make a voice in a shittyshow.
like that guy that is everywhere , every single anime i watch i heard his voice as MC.
>>159718445
Videorgames have the same problem
>>159704352
>they suddenly freeze in shock realizing they were casually speaking with a gaijin
No, they're shocked that this weirdo is trying to talk to them in bad Japanese
>>159718445
>defending poor acting
This is why no one ever takes you "muh generic/muh unique" fags seriously
>>159700622
>>159702682
Sounds 100% normal to me, there's literally nothing to complain about. Anyone who thinks this is off is most definitely some kind of pathetic subhuman wapanese neckbeard.
>>159704355
With anime shows voice acting is done after animation. kys you stupid fuck.
fucking hell /a/ is trash full of trash people, i hope you all die
>>159719043
>With anime shows voice acting is done after animation
Actually, it's often not. kys you stupid fuck
>>159703302
She's not speaking with a high rising terminal like most female VAs do. /a/ confuses good voice acting with actresses who just use HRT at the end of all their sentences.
>>159719280
> Not a screeching harpy
Picked up.
>>159702682
Sounds like a normal girl. Reminds me of the Judo girl's voice from Yakuindomo. It's charming.
>>159719280
She isn't acting, that's the problem, she's just reading what's written on her script
>>159700661
So was Suzuki Minori, and she did an absolutely outstanding job as Freyja.
>>159702682
She actually sounds like a teenager instead of a 9 year old.
>>159720017
/this
I like it makes her more real to me.
>>159702130
And she cute as a button!
>>159719809
This. The casting was clearly a stop gap measure. I wonder how the show will compare to let's say Nazotokine.

>there are people who say all dub acting is shit but defend this because it's "realistic" and "not typical anime acting"
sasuga /a/
>>159721601
I have to agree with you that her voice shares the same problems that dubs do. She has no range. Parts where she should clearly be showing emotion just sit flatly. It is a shame as the animation itself is clearly conveying it.
>>159702130
Did you download it from the deep web?
>>159721601
Please, you could tell those people are all contrarians trying to stir shit.
>>159702130
What would it feel like to cum inside this qt's tight shit hole?
>>159721859
I'd like to believe you but I've met people who genuinely believe that there's never been a bad performance in anime.
>>159702130
Cute.
>>159722119
We'll hopefully get to see after her voice acting career inevitably fails and she finds recourse in the world of AVs.
>>159723500
I think she's mainly a singer and gravure idol. Voice acting is a side thing for her.
>>159700622
she sounds like a hick.
