Kael'thas new VO

This is just… why the change?? The new one sounds soulless and seems amateurish, why are they prioritizing and spending money on this unneeded change? Just listen to this…

Why?

EDIT: Seems the original VA had allegations against him that I was not aware of and is/was being cancelled for it, disappointing is all I could say about that situation. But the fact that the new VA is near unrecognizable and has a very unfamiliar voice makes me think this new VA is an amateur, which just adds much more to my disappointment. With all the great VA they have you’d think they’d at least have one fitting enough to fill the shoes for Kael’thas, this new VA is just feels empty, I’m sure some of you are satisfied with this change for whatever reason you might have, but this is just subpar performance and I’m surprised they went along with it.

You know…just in case the allegations about the old voice actor are true I’m assuming.

When he’s speaking flatly, it sounds alright, but the moment he tries to put emotion into it, it sounds pretty crappy.

I still don’t know how Mike Tyson has avoided being cancelled.

If I were to guess it would be because he’s a bit crazy.

It’s a conundrum. Mike Tyson Mysteries was pretty damn funny.

I’m sorry I know it’s wrong but can’t help myself.

For courts, sure. Blizzard is a private company and in an at-will employment state and can fire whoever they want, whenever they want. Mr Flynn should sue if he thinks he was fired without cause. (Assuming he’s not contracted, in which case Blizz can just choose to not renew.)

This new VA is trash. No emotion in it. Comes off flat and cringe.

I don’t know why they are doing it but it sounds pretty good to me! :man_shrugging:

Do you also think Tommy Wiseau is a good actor?

You’re telling me this level of acting/voice acting sounds good to you?

What does that have to do with anything?

How does it not have anything do to with anything?

Scheduling, contracts, obligations… there are several reasons.

(edit) or that… that seems like a good reason
