Wow, usually "worst ever" is an exaggeration when shit like drunk Dr. Light exists, but that really might be the worst ever.

Shenmue 1 and 2 in English is a total assault for your ears, even more so when you've been used to hearing the original Japanese voices.

Lyml from Star Ocean TLH is pretty....awful too, also those twins, lol.

Goodness gracious. You can actually hear the parts where they're reading from the script and get a word wrong.

You tend to see a lot of the same examples come up in these threads so I'm surprised that not only is this a new gem but it's also a strong contender for the title of worst voice acting.

A lot of these always sound like they just want to end their lives. I'm no voice actor, but even i would put more effort into it. Then again, maybe their mediocre pay is the reason why they don't even bother.

I mean, how is it even a contest when this exists
To be absolutely fair, the voice acting in that game was literally thrown together by the tiny western publisher because they wouldn't be allowed certification otherwise and couldn't afford professional talent.

I wouldn't really call this acting, they're clearly just reading the lines. Can't really blame them, they are athletes first and foremost.

Sounds like they're just reading from a script, and on top of that it also sounds like they can't read properly.

even by "swinging by the studio to drop a few lines" standards that's pretty god awful. hearing isolated audio i would assume they had a mental impairment or something

Yep that sounds like basketball players reading lines with a performance director who doesn't give a shit.

LMFAO that was so bad it looped back on itself and I wanted to see more. How can anyone put that out and go "yep that's good enough to sell"?

Some of it sounds perfectly mediocre to fine. I'd say that puts it above something like, oh... Shenmue. It's just all terrible in English Shenmue.
