"the game is perhaps more known in the west for its low-budget English dub, which was scraped together in order to meet requirements for certification through Sony Computer Entertainment America. SCEA's standard policy requires that games that utilize voice acting must include an English dub if the game is released on physical media."
Rin is not that bad herself, sounds kinda like one of those big TH-cam channels about psychology or stuff and there’s a girl narrating the cartoonish animation on screen; weirdly specific, but I hope you got the point
2 years late, but I get it. Reminds me of Yuriofwind, who talks about gaming mysteries and creepypastas on his TH-cam channel in an almost documentary fashion, but he also got to voice Rory in the game YIIK. He carries the same tone and energy from his videos into his acting role.
Hyoma and Rin's voice actors are the only ones who sound like they're actively giving a shit and at least trying to inflect and put in some good work. Compared to the rest of the cast, especially Tonaty, these two basically have the best performances in the entire game
Rare? Really? I guess it's because I live in NY and see so much young talent that I don't notice. But this kid had no direction at all, it was just: "ok kiddo, come in this room and read some lines into the mic. Afterwards we'll go to Mcdonalds!" Lol that's probably what happened. Anyway, I'm not too fond of women voicing boys because they mostly just end up sounding like girls anyway.
Honestly even if the CEO wants his family to voice acting he should at least train them first before hiring them. Nepotism sure cause negative consequences
I know children can do a good job acting... its just so rare its not worth the time and resources scoping them out ( kids have things like... bedtimes, and school ) The entire video is an example of bad acting and also shows a good example of a small fact: for the longest time (and even now) adult women are used to voice adolescent males because the talent pool is so small its not worth the effort.
@Hethrin I wish I could say the same but I'd rather take a 30 year old woman doing a boys voice who at least has some experience than a child who was given some words and was told to just say them as best as he could. I have seen some great exceptions to this rule but in this instance and others its better to go with experience than acuracy.
I'm playing this game right now... It's like they just found random people and said read these lines... If ANYONE got paid for this voice acting then I'm obviously in the wrong line of work... lol
@GmodCaboose56 That and Aaron's grown up and doing Corpse Princess. I wonder if the kid who did this character's voice in this game will ever even go through puberty.
I like how the kid's voice gets lower every time he says a word he's not sure how to pronounce.
Lmfao!
It's terrifying how Tonaty's voice acting makes everyone else sound competent by comparison.
The negative effects of bringing your son to work in action.
Positive*
I was not prepared for Tonaty's voice in the slightest.
I know right
He's literally a kid
@@zad_raseraDidn't ask
@@HaroldAcevedaAre you ok buddy? You replied to a comment from 5 years ago. Did your parents get a divorce while you watched your silly fake sports?
Love those pauses when the kid sees a word he doesn't understand
"I ADMIT I BROKe yoh cup.."
oh my god it's official the guy in charge of localization used his freaking family for the voices
These people got a freaking studio to record professional quality, and do this.
it was the publisher's family
It was bold of you to assume this was a studio and not someone's interior bedroom.
@@andrejg4136 It was actually recorded in a studio.
510 Studios in California (California being where O~3 Entertainment were located), to be exact.
@@Takimeko What. Were they trying to generate negative income?

his voice is adorable, but i don't think he's old enough to be a voice actor..
King of cuddles more like. What's the minimum age requirement for voice acting even?
Theroux there is no age limit I checked
myanimelist.net/people/45325/Hikari_Okada
they dragged a child into this shit?
@@Ballowaxyeah, the voice actors are the creators family members lol.
Didn't know three year olds could be in a video game.
"I'm king of eluted...I'm Tow-Nah-Tee."
the grandson of the infamous DR. Wah-wee
@@Araneus21 ya’ll just slayed me
“I can’t go back to oulululuh”
All things considered Rin and Hiro sound surprisingly okay.
I would even say Hyoma too.
SPEAK UP BOY I CAN'T HEAR A WORD YOU'RE SAYIN'
dude, the kid could barely spit out the word "tyranny"..... who hired him?!
His dad
I like how we started sorta ok, and took a hard right into shitshow central.
Tonaty and Karen both sound like they are drunk. Either that or they're talking slurred.
Let's hope that child isn't drunk haha
He’s not drunk, he’s just 5
Looks like Tonaty learned some new words
Yay
I'm so proud of him
Come closer to the mic, kid.
I wonder if it's just me that thinks Tonaty's voice was so bad that it's adorable?
Kadiezi I did! Reminded me of Michelle from full house a bit.
Just you.
The localization guy used his family members to voice the characters lol. Tonaty's voice is probably from his 8-year old son or something.
THE POOR GUY IS TRYING
Rin is not that bad herself, sounds kinda like one of those big TH-cam channels about psychology or stuff and there’s a girl narrating the cartoonish animation on screen; weirdly specific, but I hope you got the point

I would genuinely listen to a video essay by Rin's VA
Why is he so cute tho like uwu
“Good bye, viowence! Good by tyʷᵃⁿⁿʸ!”
When no one will voice one of your characters except for another voicers son
Christ... Even Tails has more emotion than this kid.
You gonna do my main Tails like that?
@@ChrisStoneinator Maybe.
“Look at all those Eggmans robots”
@@KKrankHouseonYT That was the worst of him.
Tails at least had some good lines in SA1, before he started reading directly from the script in 2.
Hyoma and RIn are the only ones that sound like they're trying. Lol
"Hey kid! Wanna be in a videogame?"
“Goodbye tyranny!”
Didn’t they just say he’s supposed the king where he’s from?
Absolutely barbaric the way he wears that Zigzagoon tail as a scarf.
I wonder what's Tonaty's VA doing now, hope he's doing well
0:13 Glad to see the Sega CD Error Message woman found more roles.
You hired a seven year old to play a major role in your game; I see no issue with this.
Okay why is his voice actually adorable
Goodbye viowence!
Goodbye tywanny!
God, how did this get by QA???
LMFAO!!!
Rin's voice is not bad at all, she has the best voice and way of talking in this game. Tonaty is terrible, seems like a kid half asleep.
Mans brought in his son to voice a character, actually wholesome, looking back at it now
People paid money for this.
Imagine that
i like it how when the text box is bursting out indicating that the characters shouting he just proceeds to stay at the exact same tone.
Okay. The beginning of this video had okay voice acting. Then somehow it got worse.
Hyoma and Rin's voice actors are the only ones who sound like they're actively giving a shit and at least trying to inflect and put in some good work. Compared to the rest of the cast, especially Tonaty, these two basically have the best performances in the entire game
id say shizuku's va is runner up
Idk why people seemed so mad about this back when(seeing by old comments). This is hilarious and bad dubs are gems.
gooby tiwanny
Nobody is talking about the fact that he's supposed to be screaming?!
NOTE NOTE NOTE
the CEO hired his kids to do the voices lololololol
check teh credits, all have the same last names
Bet it was unpaid child labor legally skirting the grey line between being take your kid to work fare and exactly what it sounds like.
That's what happens when you hire your family to do the voice acting rather than actual professionals.
Tiwia isnt hew
This is so..........bad.
That’s actually adorable. It’s not talented in any way because it’s actually just somebody’s kid but that’s the cutest thing I’ve ever heard.
The others were great in a so bad its good way and hilarious.
This is hilarious, but a little TOO bad to the point its also legit painful to listen...
Christ. This makes Ken from Persona 3 look phenomenal in comparison.
......um Yamada Ken's voice is an adult woman.....and a professional
are you saying that king tonaty's voice actor isn't the epitome of professional voice acting
I wonder what does Tonaty voice actor (who may be an adolescent or a young adult) thinks about this.
Rins voice is actually good
Tonaty sounds like some intern actually broke a cup and they decided to record it.
I'm laughing so hard at Tonaty's voice! I was not expecting that at all!
"I am Tonaty"
"You are Tonaty"
Rare? Really? I guess it's because I live in NY and see so much young talent that I don't notice. But this kid had no direction at all, it was just: "ok kiddo, come in this room and read some lines into the mic. Afterwards we'll go to Mcdonalds!" Lol that's probably what happened.
Anyway, I'm not too fond of women voicing boys because they mostly just end up sounding like girls anyway.
So you'd rather have what's on the video? Forget it.
@@doge-pal I don't think that's exactly what they're saying. Also this comment was posted 7 years ago.
Rin’s voice acting is probably the best out of everyone here for me
I find the bad voice acting the most entertaining part of the game XD
LOOK AT ALL THOSE EGGMAN'S ROBOTS
He sounds seven years old, actually.
This kid sounds like Tails from Sonic Heroes except he’s drunk.
Thats my nigga quest jelinek
At least the VA's age fits the character's age. I suppose that's somethin'
Is that an actual toddler voicing tonaty? I'm sure he's trying his best.
Funny because in this one the dialogue actually slightly made sense
Sounds like the kid you get in your squad randomly online.
Wow I didn't know that Company Man voiced Hyoma
Poor kid never received any acting training in the first place!
do they not know that you're usually supposed to get female voice actors for child characters instead of actual children lmao
Female voice actors demand to be paid an actual salary. Your 7 year old nephew will do the same job if you promise to buy him an ice cream later.
@@AverageWagie but aren't "child labor laws" a thing 🗿
intentionally.
this game's voice acting is just one long Trolling Experience.
At least Hyoma's VA didn't do badly.
wow the first two is actually quite flowing, everyone else....BLLLLEEEAARRRGHGHGHGGGGG.
One of the times where games were ment to be left undub
Honestly even if the CEO wants his family to voice acting he should at least train them first before hiring them. Nepotism sure cause negative consequences
I think this is an issue that stemmed from the fact they didn't want to spend money on voice actors rather than nepotism.
You can tell he's voiced by someone's nephew
Guess this was "take your preschooler to work day"
The translation is so literal it doesn't make sense. I'm sure the translator wasn't professional.
Considering the company was verging on bankruptcy at the time, I wouldn't be surprised to hear they just didn't bother.
I know children can do a good job acting... its just so rare its not worth the time and resources scoping them out ( kids have things like... bedtimes, and school )
The entire video is an example of bad acting and also shows a good example of a small fact:
for the longest time (and even now) adult women are used to voice adolescent males because the talent pool is so small its not worth the effort.
Does the kid who voices Tonaty voice Zeros too?
Yes
That kid also voices Zeros as well... o_O
he sounds like a peanuts character
All we need is some piano background music and somebody calling the kid a BLOCKHEAD.
The music is the best voice actor... as usual...
Worst part is, they got paid for this.
Wet me weeconfom won fing.
If I didn't own the game myself, I'd say it was someone recording they're own voice behind the camera, while playing the game.
lmao did they just kidnap some random toddler and forced him to do this shit???
Where's my wahweepop?
Never trust a kid wearing a Zigzagoon pelt
I kind of like their voices.. might play this game!
Tonaty's voice actor sounds like that kid in 4th grader who would play Roblox for hours
Tonaty sounds like 10 years old Minecraft youtuber.
@OriginalLemming Pretty much, only Rin seems like she could really have a future in voice acting.
😂😂😂 I can't with this dub!
So apparently thats actually someones kid they got to voice it
Tonaty has the zigzag Pokémon on his back
@Hethrin I wish I could say the same but I'd rather take a 30 year old woman doing a boys voice who at least has some experience than a child who was given some words and was told to just say them as best as he could.

PFFFFFT HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA
There ought to be a balance, though.
Tiwia isnt hee uh
Voice Director really said "You know who's under-represented in the VA community? Literal children".
