The PTR had a recent update and as I was scrolling through Echo’s lines, I noticed something right away. Her Singaporean lines are different! I’m happy a different VA got to do the lines but I’m also confused. This Singaporean actor did the lines flawlessly because she’s from Singapore. So, why not make her the voice actor for Echo? I think it’s fair.
I understand Jeannie, the current VA did all those lines. But, as I mentioned, she’s not from Singapore. However, this voice actor is. Please give this Singaporean actor credit as she should voice everything else for Echo. She sounds very cool! 
It just sounds weird having two voice actors for Echo. And I don’t think it’s right. This Singaporean actor deserves recognition and should become the original VA for Echo! It makes sense because Echo is Singaporean.
Thanks, Blizzard.
I posted a link side by side for the current Singaporean lines and the lines on the PTR: (- YouTube)

Nah, I’m already fond of Echo as is. Her current voice fits her so well.

This must be a bug or a placeholder or something. This just doesn’t seem right.

Charlet Chung can speak Korean but didnt do the Kroean lines
Aw, I like her English voice lines…
I didn’t know they changed her Singaporean ones, though.
But you know, the only reason she talks like that is because she imitated Dr. Liao, so maybe she’s capable of assimilating multiple voices (just as an in-universe retcon).

The PTR one sounds awful.

I just listened to them and… wow, I have to agree. They sound so forced and out of context.

So apparently these are different now:

So awesome (in Singapore dialect)
Can or not
Double confirmed
The rest are the same.
I don’t mind the singaporean lines are voiced by a different v/a but the English lines, I prefer the old one.

the lines are different (rerecorded?) or the VA is different?
Not to sound harsh, but the PTR voice actor seems kinda lifeless. But love the accent she has, but I think she can do a better job if she put some soul into it.

Because I don’t think the voice actor is trying at all, I just think they were recorded to give some sort of a test to see if it fits. If she had to voice them I think it would be different.

Sounds kinda robotic on PTR. I don’t like it that much, kinda got used to current echo VA, maybe that’s why
Voice actor is different.
i guess im asking if its been confirmed anywhere…i mean these people are voice actors…its not inconceivable to imagine them re-recording them and changing it up a bit…

Not a fan of how inconsistent with Echo’s voice (and by proxy, her character) they’ve been, it makes it harder to connect with her. God forbid they changed her actress for a fourth time.

oh dam just hopped on the ptr to check it out … sigh o well, i thought the original ones were really cute, new ones seemed forced
o well i guess we cant spam voice lines anyways so its not to hard of a blow
The new lines are more authentic, but also really crude, and not that well recorded. I prefer the current VA’s RP accent take on the lines.

Indeed. Echo has had so many VA’s in the past.
