I assumed it was due to HoYo using an Ai program that has the audio fed through it and it will animate the models mouths to mimic the vocals and pitches with some touch ups here and there by animators. Since that was why Oleg in belobog was rough because of the voice actors deep gruff voice that doesn’t change pitch much, and why duke inferno had no mouth to make it easy to skip his mouth sync.
@@Juju2927its due to dub agencies using AI with their voices without consent Not only take away the essence, it's also a crime for stealing identities
@@Juju2927yeah I fully support striking to prevent AI voice theft, it’s just unfortunate that they don’t have voices right now. Hopefully they’ll add it in the future and we can watch the dubbed cutscenes
@@lazysylph3312 While I understand why they're striking, if this keeps up for to long it's not going to be beneficial for their roles in star rail (and yes I know it's not the VA's fault). If the VA's for these characters aren't going to perform for 3.0, there's going to be a chance Hoyoverse will replace them all together. Especially Stelle and Himeko since they haven't had to many voiced lines yet. Dan Heng might have to many to replace but who knows. It's the whole reason Tingyun's VA got replaced. Her original VA was looking forward to voicing 5-star Tingyun but couldn't because of the strike, now she never will because she got replaced. Not to mention all her lines for 4-star tingyun got deleted and replaced aswell. And Tingyun isn't the first character this happened with in Star Rail, Argenti is another example.
@@Nox_Eternis And Argenti's VA also does Mr. Tail as you probably know, so combined with Huohuo's VA also leaving, my favorite character got hit pretty hard D: Took me months to adapt. If too many get changed I'll probably switch to JP. I support the strike, but at the same time it's just tricky for me to adjust and I don't like the muted scenes experience wise.
Should also be important to note that Tingyun has a different VA. Probably also caused by the strike but they couldn't leave one of the main focuses of the plot with the character entirely mute.
It’s not due to the strike, there has been a controversy about her previous VA. Honestly, I feel like the new VA suits Fugue much more due to the changes in her character, but for the normal Tingyun old voice was better
sameee, my babyboy dan heng was locked in the archives for most of penacony and so many events and then he came back in 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6 but now in 2.7 hes here but muted, i hate the strike soo much
The Nahida birthday event was the biggest casualty. It was supposed to be a mini-Sumeru reunion and like 3 people have voice lines. It was only time I had to switch to the JP dub so I can get the glorious voice acting of Dori.
@@cmdrjanjalani I straight skipped the entire event and the version. It's very unfortunate but the VA's livelihoods are in jeapordy so I understand that.
@@cmdrjanjalanii didn’t even do nahida’s birthday event. i was excited for it then started the quest and saw there wasn’t any voice actors and just couldn’t care about it any more
i did the whole renovation event yesterday and it was so weird, hearing welt pom pom an march speaking normally, and then there’s tb, himeko and dan heng like 🙂
ok honestly the trailblazer not actuslly saying anything feels pretty normal. Even if they voice some of their lines not all of them are always voiced even in voiced conversations
Worry not, 🇨🇳's XiJinPing will surely find a way to fix the problem. He truly is on another level. His intellectual prowess and unlimited braveness is what sets him apart from others.
Typically TB gets their inner thoughts voiced which didn't happen at all here. They did the narration recap, but it might have been done at an earlier time.
So I do think this is related to the strike but not for the reasons people think. See genshin's recording studio Fumosa I think it is lost the contract for Genshin and Furina's va who owns a studio picked it up. The next patch for genshin is a major plot point and is closing out the Natlan main story plus lantern right is in that patch as well. Now the other thing to keep in mind is it takes time to schedule and record Voice actors then go through editing and other things needed. Many times voice works is recorded months to even in some extreme examples years before the event in question. The next patch for genshin is a in Late Dec early Jan if I recall the times right so they dont have a lot of time to get this done. So My personal theory is now that genshin is freed of the strike, it was the studio not Hoyo itself struck and Furina's is not struck, they are rapidly trying to get voice actors in studio to record their lines and begin editing. I strongly suspect they are using other studios and not just Furina's to get the job done in time. Depending on both the ending and Lantern that could be a lot of voice actors they need to get in. And I imagine this is playing major heck with scheduling and other issues. So Hoyo is prioritizing voice actors and schedules to get this all done. Sunday and Fugue for example are all voiced and this patch focuses on them the most. As pointed out Dan trailblaze and Himeko arent speaking too much so in terms of record time they may have been cut due to time issues. Because also keep in mind Fugue's voice actress was changed and I am guessing this happened when Argenti and Huohuo got changed but we didnt know as they didnt need to change her VA at the time. I am guessing agency issues considering how Huohuo's va was also voicing Lucy in ZZZ and she got pulled from that as well. So lots of demands on the studio to get recording in and so some stuff got left due to time crunch.
I just pray it doesn't give them too much pressure. Since next update for Genshin is Amphoreus is coming and i do hope they'll be able to do on time with quality.
@@josueravena3464 By the time 3.0 comes out everything should be fine if the issues are like I think they are. Right now we just entered 2.7 so we have till Jan sometime for the 3.0 release. Chances are good 3.0 is already being recorded or is done by now. In fact recording for 3.0 might be part of the reason for the loggerjam as they would be doing a major update with lots of recording plus 2.7 update then emergency genshin. If that is true its easy to see why they would have issues with scheduling. But without question unless there is something major I am unaware of 3.0 should be fully recorded and the quality we have come to see from HSR by the time it comes out.
It's really sad that I couldn't hear any en voice. I love the en casts and it's a shame that, I couldn't hear their voices in this patch 😢 Well I'm also annoyed on SOME people who uses jp/cn dub like why hate on the en voice actors, just because they had some issues/drama. Y'all spreading hate on them like they did something to all of you.
Well JP Dub Elitists/Glazers are annoying (I mean look at some in the comments) (I'm not talking about normal regular JP dub enjoyers because I don't have a problem with them)
Plus they always insist on switching to other dubs but I can't. I am on mobile and I haven't been able to switch voices while playing these games for a long time because you have to download giant files for each language outside of English
@@lacytaylor1501”giant files” not me running genshin AND star rail and still have an overwhelming amount of storage for both apps to download the other languages lol
Yeah, I noticed that myself. When I completed the missions yesterday I really was hoping for their voice to be in the game. But there’s no helping it if that’s the case I just hope they might add it in later so we can see it.
@Freybyss These characters being silent tells us nothing about whether they'll be replaced or not.... Argenti's voice was silent for a few patches too before he got replaced and he got replaced for the same reason related to the strikes.
@@Nox_Eternis I know I know, i'm merely hoping due to so many veing the Astral Express crew. Plus they have been trying their best to move voice actors to different agencies to continue their work
@Freybyss Yeah, I hope those studios can get their stuff together so the VA's can just continue their work. I'm sure Hoyo will try to help sort things out too. I'd be real sad if the Express crew got their VA's changed. I'm just not one to get my hopes up to much as that makes the disappointment even bigger :(
If they replace Dan Heng's VA (for whatever reason) I am gonna quit the game. Ain't no way I'm playing without Nicholas Leung. Edit 20.10: This comment shall be on fire forever, won't it? Some of you can't read and just comment dumb things.
The problem is not the VA, but the agency they work for. Lately, we've gotten information that the agency is using their VA's voice to train AI to make money without the expense of paying the actual VA. This of course made the VAs angry and eventually went on a strike in protest at this. of course this is a very brazen and unethical thing to do. so please, don't blame the VAs, blame their greedy and unscrupulous agencies. i hope they might be able to switch agencies, but they are already under contract and if they unilaterally break the contract, they are the ones who have to pay the penalty.
I just love it when AI such a unique interesting concept with great and harmless aplications gets missused in favor of greed (humanity is a mistake)@@zia_asha
@@zia_ashathe contract should be revoked or revised then, using their voices to train ai WITHOUT their permission is a breach and should have been in the contract to begin with….
I feel for the HSR players right now- Nahida’s b-day event in Genshin just felt so empty without the characters voices, so I can only imagine how it would be to have a whole silent quest :(
I just had to switch to JP, couldn’t bear the silence in some of the scenes 😭 it’s such a shame because then EN VA’s always kill it. I hope the VA’s get what they deserve and don’t get replaced by AI
Yeah, I had no choice switching into JP ,but it doesn't feel right after switching because I had to wait until the eng va arrives and looking at the previous story quest.
I decide not to play the story line because of their missing voice, hoping for them to fix it soon (CUZ I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR IT FOREVER AND I REFUSE TO PLAY IT WITH DAN HENG MISSING VOICE which really shock me)
@ShizueUwU yeah i was like "what missing voices?" But I realized pretty quickly what language the missing voices were from. I'm glad I got to hear everything!
@@hauntinqghost lmao if en VAs spend half as much time they use to push their worthless western woke agendas and biting the hand that feeds them to actually do their job I might actually care about their strike
Himeko, Dan Heng, Asta, Trailblazer & Robin's voice have gone missing😭😭😭😭why, why???????!!!!!!!!!!…Because only for the new characters in Version 2.7 where their drip marketing are released, even Sunday is already introduced, maybe of his new outfit or his own fanbase popularity, besides Sunday's voice actor is really or very popular singer since he is like a celebrity😂😂😂
I hope they add the voicelines when they have the time. Since not every Player is at that part of the game yet it would still be worth it to record the missing lines later.
I’m scared that hsr will just replace the voice actors, like how tingyun’s va changed and then we will have many new voices that are strange to adjust to 😓 I really hope the contract issue gets resolved
As soon as I heard himeko and dan heng muted i was like "yeah thats enough im switching to JP now" i didnt even know ENG Robin was muted so im super glad i got to watch her conversation with sunday at the end in JP dub. Not switching back to ENG dub anymore. What a shame.
It’s wild that Aventurine doesn’t at all show up in the story, and yet his voice line when added with Sunday is included but Robin’s isn’t but it still exists
All i know, is that it makes me feel deeply remorseful that i bothered to get started with the english dub. The english VAs seem like a bunch of divas.
Please actually look into what you care about so you don't look like a jerk, the voicce actors are literally on strike to fight for rights to be treated properly and own rights to the voice they have and chances are hoyoverse are trying to swap studios for hsr due to possible issues which is a very annoying process but if you actually cared about the en dub then actually do yourself a favor and Look into stuff

I was already depresso expresso when Dan Heng and Himeko were mute, but Robin as well? Dude, it was so hard to sit through the emotional conversation between them. Dude was pouring his heart out and he was getting the silent treatment. And I noticed different Tingyun VA, but I don't really mind that.
Thank god this appeared on my feed, i won't start this damned quest until 3.0, hoping they fix it. I have already enough of muted quest, now not also the main one
Companies trying to train AI to mimic professional voice actors so they don’t have to pay actual people and have robots sound like professional VAs that are free for the company in expenditures. TL;DR, companies wanna maximize profits.
I thought Star Rail wasn't recorded with Formosa and there's interim agreements going around. Genshin I understand more since they're switching from Formosa for that reason.
@@cjwat1118I think they were also supporting it since it also kinda affects their overall career in the future. They need some guarantee even if they are not affected now.
To be honest you are the only reason why I know about the voiceless in some characters because I use CN dub, but I hope they can resolve this in a good way for the people that use the Eng sub
@@Fate_Dzno he said spoiler alert some affected characters include... he made no warning AT ALL of discussing the quest dialogue. No need to defend him lmao he messed up making this vid
This whole thing has convinced me to go over to Japanese Dub. I support the VA's efforts to get what they need to safeguard their jobs against AI. But it's just too weird at this point to keep using English Dub.
Yeah, it's like weebs can't even shut up about the ENG dub and saying JP are superior while the weebs can't even speak Japanese just because they listen to JP voicelines.
I hope it would be fully voiced (or almost of it especially of Robin's) in the next patch as Kachina made it after 5.2 patch her voice was misssed in 5.1 PS : There are many NPC's from GI and HSR affected of the strike as not being muted but changed it, the example is Pacal from GI
This VA-AI conflict getting on my nerves, why cant Hoyo just find another studio which gets the job done and gives the characters voice, Nahida's birthday was the same situation like this, its never ending and its very irritating.
They did get a new studio! They fired Formosa and are moving to Furinas studio. Just takes time to move everything. They said in the Dev notes that they will be added in soon. I heard from someone in reddit that they may even fix it on the update when Fugue banner comes out. But definitely for 3.0.
Yeah, when I playing through the story this yesterday and this morning I was sad that they didn't have a voice. I hope the VAs are able to succeed in their strike
JP and CN will never be affected they have the best talents who have professionalism as their priorities 😂. Meanwhile EN VAs busy with colour politics 😂.
That only happens in English. In Japanese with English subtitles, you can hear the whole conversation with Sunday and it is actually quite emotional. I didn't know that the conversations in 2.7 couldn't be heard in English.
YES I NOTICED THIS I WAS LIKE “huh? IS THE GAME NOT FINISHED YET?!😭” but then I decided to give in and just voice act for the voiceless characters because every character needs a voice even the NPC’s🤩
I truly hope they give a proper heads up if there is even any sort of timeline this time around for getting them voiced. I had skipped an event (and didn't manage to finish another one) when I was waiting out Argenti's lines... only to give in later because I wanted to get to the event... At least this time around I can just just unlock them but at this point, I'll get get on my side account to play everything in JP and catch up.
I'm not surprised that this happened again. fortunately I didn't do the new TB quest yet, times like this I'll just switch to JP...I'll just do it when they decide to get the Va's back
Before comments flood and everyone yells strike, read here. This is very likely a bug, as the programming for EN mouth movement is entirely missing too. Music except for the jukebox on the express is muted for people, including myself. And Honkai: Star Rail is NOT a part of the strike. So this is very likely to be an audio related bug. For the music example, even with restarts, only my express has music, other places and modes like DU are dead silence music wise. VA wise, I'd assume something messed up when it comes to potentially having to switch Tingyun's VA, they may have accidentally done something to EN in the process somehow. Music wise, no idea. 💀🙏 All I know, HSR is NOT in the strike, but there seems to be audio related bugs in mass during 2.7. Edit: The EN VAs were SAID in patch notes to be due to a scheduling issue.
Seems I was too late on being here before people assuming it's 100% The strike. Remember that we were fine in 2.5 and 2.6 with Dan Heng, Himeko and Robin. Which was during the Genshin voice muting. Which makes it even more likely that it isn't anything relating to the strike.
@@monkeydluffy5054 I know it's likely either studio or HoYo related. I don't get how people think it's the strike, when there is another audio bug already seen going around, and that it was fine in 2.6.
@Snowbell247 That could work, but it's weird that music audio is ALSO missing. Also, I feel like they should've put a small credit compensation in the mail to let the players know, because not many people care to look at patch notes.
It's a fools errand, you're not going to fight agaisnt progress. all that will happen is these people will be out of a job sooner rather than later. it was like back when people were fighting agaisnt cars because they want to keep their jobs as horse carriages drivers.
I've been hoping since the game launch that they make a setting like Arknights where we can set language per character. That would fix the EN voice problem. I use JP voice in general but I really like March and Dr Ratio's EN voice that I switch to EN everytime they're on my party. Would be great if I can use CN dub on Dan Heng and other Xianzhou characters without changing everyone's voice to CN too.
English voice actors please come back we don't want this strike to be on forever please come back to us we miss you guys voicing as our favorite characters does strike has been going on since the beginning we can't take this anymore please come back
we gotta respect their decisions. The strike only began because their company began using their voices to train AI and not paying them. Its a serious issue, and just because we want them back doesn't mean they should come back.
@@maecherie you're right about that I don't want to affect my future though I want to be a English voice actor when I turn 18 or 19 when I grow up I just wish the strike could just be over with an AI could just leave the English va's alone
@@AngelUzamaki75 that is completely fine and understandable, and there some companies which aren't doing this, etc paimons one iirc cause she's voiced. again. unfortunately in the age of ai, some companies might take advantage of their vas. perfectly normal to be upset over, however. I'm annoyed myself but we gotta respect the vas.
@maecherie well whatever Piamon's VA is at at that studio that's the studio I'm going at cuz I'm not going to have the AI voice thing as my character when I get older
glad I prefer playing in JP but damn... the amount of issues and controversies with EN VAs and Rec. Studios must be so annoying for EN voice users at this point.. it seriously compromises the game experience for them.
So... Its not only onmyoji, also an scene from a cutscene of identity v coa animated video of the characters who got skins for the tournament (is the latest tournament that happened). It was the scene of a character with white hair playing the piano (composer) to then loon up to a building, dont remember the video neither scene but im gonna check it out fast.
i’m just waiting for the oh robin the trailblazer asta ect have new voice actor’s now then we will know that it’s not just “scheduling conflicts” but mihoyo replacing all of the va’s who went on strike and were just using “scheduling conflicts” as an excuse until they could hire new va’s
Hoyo isn’t replacing directly so much-it’s the studio Hoyo contracts having those voice actors that sorta force some hands. The studios should be pressured and then Hoyo wouldn’t need to pressure for replacements for needs and necessities of voicelines.
HSR studio isn't one of the studios targeted by the VA strike so unless VAs aren't doing any work at all, even with studios that aren't under strike, then its a contract or scheduling issue. Hoyo really needs to find a studio they work directly with for EN dub, three studios, three times the inconsistency.
I usually play asian games on Japanese dub (I know HSR is made by a Chinese company but honestly I find Japanese voices more soothing) with subtitles. Was never so glad I was doing it since I started to play HSR
If this is the case, ima gonna stop playing HSR and GENSHIN and focus on my college Final year project or play other games, until a patch regarding to the eng VAs comes out I don’t know what is happening to me, but HSR and GENSHIN subtitles always had some rare looking English vocabulary, so I always prepare a notebook and a dictionary to try understand the lore and jot down the translation(I’m not joking, I started doing this during the 2.2 story mode), I always use the playback function in the story mode to re-listen the subtitles so I can have a better understanding of the lore.(or sometimes just to enjoy the audio especially himeko’s sussy voices in the dream bubble HAHA and Argenti’s knight-ish voices) So basically, I consider the ENG VAs are some sort of English teacher to me, and no one’s gonna stop me to changing the dubs, EVER.
Either the strike or recording studio issue but rather than just that the weather could also be the issue on top of their schedule conflicts since in some places there be snowstorms depending on where the companies are. Honestly some companies do close down during snowstorms while others don't although that does depend on if they decide to close early during that kind of weather.

@@cmdrjanjalani Which is too bad. Her original voice was pretty iconic.
Ikr and i prefer her old va tbh :-( new one is good but definitely doesnt has the same spark
@@gremlinteddy Agreed. Nothing against her new voice at all. But man, the smirky way old VA said, “Evils (or evilness?) begone,” was legendary.
@@cmdrjanjalani there's another strike???
It’s not due to the strike, there has been a controversy about her previous VA. Honestly, I feel like the new VA suits Fugue much more due to the changes in her character, but for the normal Tingyun old voice was better
I just noticed that, so that’s why I had to read & voice act what they’re saying in their dialogue 🥲
Don't worry, Hoyoverse is well known for their competence to solve complex problem such as this one 🤗. Nothing can bring them down.
LMAO, WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF DOING THAT 🤣
Haven't begun yet, I'll do it too now

lets just hope this doesnt bleed into 2025
The Nahida birthday event was the biggest casualty. It was supposed to be a mini-Sumeru reunion and like 3 people have voice lines. It was only time I had to switch to the JP dub so I can get the glorious voice acting of Dori.
@@cmdrjanjalani I straight skipped the entire event and the version. It's very unfortunate but the VA's livelihoods are in jeapordy so I understand that.

You mean 😶
ok honestly the trailblazer not actuslly saying anything feels pretty normal. Even if they voice some of their lines not all of them are always voiced even in voiced conversations
Looks like many of us already got used to it.

Me, born in the 90s: Pure gaming nostalgia.
True.
... soon enough people will be like, 'remember when we had VAs before AI took over? Ahhh Good times'
Megalovana starts playing
Yeah that's normal for me to. The Voice Actors came later in the Years. So aktulay no problem.
Like how pokemon games have no voice acting. All silent!
Sparkle can now officially say Robin is an avtual mute😂
So I do think this is related to the strike but not for the reasons people think. See genshin's recording studio Fumosa I think it is lost the contract for Genshin and Furina's va who owns a studio picked it up. The next patch for genshin is a major plot point and is closing out the Natlan main story plus lantern right is in that patch as well.
Now the other thing to keep in mind is it takes time to schedule and record Voice actors then go through editing and other things needed. Many times voice works is recorded months to even in some extreme examples years before the event in question. The next patch for genshin is a in Late Dec early Jan if I recall the times right so they dont have a lot of time to get this done.
So My personal theory is now that genshin is freed of the strike, it was the studio not Hoyo itself struck and Furina's is not struck, they are rapidly trying to get voice actors in studio to record their lines and begin editing. I strongly suspect they are using other studios and not just Furina's to get the job done in time. Depending on both the ending and Lantern that could be a lot of voice actors they need to get in. And I imagine this is playing major heck with scheduling and other issues.
So Hoyo is prioritizing voice actors and schedules to get this all done. Sunday and Fugue for example are all voiced and this patch focuses on them the most. As pointed out Dan trailblaze and Himeko arent speaking too much so in terms of record time they may have been cut due to time issues. Because also keep in mind Fugue's voice actress was changed and I am guessing this happened when Argenti and Huohuo got changed but we didnt know as they didnt need to change her VA at the time. I am guessing agency issues considering how Huohuo's va was also voicing Lucy in ZZZ and she got pulled from that as well.
So lots of demands on the studio to get recording in and so some stuff got left due to time crunch.
@@revanninja oh, that actually makes a lot of sense.
I just pray it doesn't give them too much pressure. Since next update for Genshin is Amphoreus is coming and i do hope they'll be able to do on time with quality.
@@josueravena3464 By the time 3.0 comes out everything should be fine if the issues are like I think they are.
Right now we just entered 2.7 so we have till Jan sometime for the 3.0 release. Chances are good 3.0 is already being recorded or is done by now. In fact recording for 3.0 might be part of the reason for the loggerjam as they would be doing a major update with lots of recording plus 2.7 update then emergency genshin. If that is true its easy to see why they would have issues with scheduling.
But without question unless there is something major I am unaware of 3.0 should be fully recorded and the quality we have come to see from HSR by the time it comes out.
Dude i was waiting for someone to bring it up 😭 i was so sad when i played the mission-
I have seen the same in genshin. Last month it was Nahida's birthday, and 90% of the characters included in the event were mute, included herself
Trailblazer not talking is pretty normal while the others are just awkward without voices.
It's really sad that I couldn't hear any en voice. I love the en casts and it's a shame that, I couldn't hear their voices in this patch 😢
Well I'm also annoyed on SOME people who uses jp/cn dub like why hate on the en voice actors, just because they had some issues/drama. Y'all spreading hate on them like they did something to all of you.
Well JP Dub Elitists/Glazers are annoying (I mean look at some in the comments) (I'm not talking about normal regular JP dub enjoyers because I don't have a problem with them)
Plus they always insist on switching to other dubs but I can't. I am on mobile and I haven't been able to switch voices while playing these games for a long time because you have to download giant files for each language outside of English
@@lacytaylor1501”giant files” not me running genshin AND star rail and still have an overwhelming amount of storage for both apps to download the other languages lol
they did they ruined my game with the stupid self drama
Once I got to himiko and dan not having a voice I finished that section of dialogue i immediately switched over to Japanese
😢
Good work bro 👍🏻 you switched to the better option 😂.
same here.

@@Aman_Mondal go away
Yeah, I noticed that myself. When I completed the missions yesterday I really was hoping for their voice to be in the game. But there’s no helping it if that’s the case I just hope they might add it in later so we can see it.
Dang Heng and Himeko threw me out so freaking much along with Tingyun 💔
I'm hoping to wait out and play when the voicelines are added, but its a relief they seem to not be planning on changing thwse voice actors.
Don’t jinx it lil bro
@dannyrk8008 shit you're right
@Freybyss These characters being silent tells us nothing about whether they'll be replaced or not.... Argenti's voice was silent for a few patches too before he got replaced and he got replaced for the same reason related to the strikes.
@@Nox_Eternis I know I know, i'm merely hoping due to so many veing the Astral Express crew. Plus they have been trying their best to move voice actors to different agencies to continue their work
@Freybyss Yeah, I hope those studios can get their stuff together so the VA's can just continue their work. I'm sure Hoyo will try to help sort things out too. I'd be real sad if the Express crew got their VA's changed.
I'm just not one to get my hopes up to much as that makes the disappointment even bigger :(
If they replace Dan Heng's VA (for whatever reason) I am gonna quit the game. Ain't no way I'm playing without Nicholas Leung.
Edit 20.10: This comment shall be on fire forever, won't it? Some of you can't read and just comment dumb things.
It should be a good sign that he was silent. Also if that would happen they need the VA to redub everything from 1.0.
The problem is not the VA, but the agency they work for. Lately, we've gotten information that the agency is using their VA's voice to train AI to make money without the expense of paying the actual VA. This of course made the VAs angry and eventually went on a strike in protest at this. of course this is a very brazen and unethical thing to do. so please, don't blame the VAs, blame their greedy and unscrupulous agencies. i hope they might be able to switch agencies, but they are already under contract and if they unilaterally break the contract, they are the ones who have to pay the penalty.
this was recorded during the strike so ...
I just love it when AI such a unique interesting concept with great and harmless aplications gets missused in favor of greed (humanity is a mistake)@@zia_asha
@@zia_ashathe contract should be revoked or revised then, using their voices to train ai WITHOUT their permission is a breach and should have been in the contract to begin with….
I feel for the HSR players right now- Nahida’s b-day event in Genshin just felt so empty without the characters voices, so I can only imagine how it would be to have a whole silent quest :(
@Bug0004 Natlan is definitely having that feeling too. Everyone just wants hoyo to step in so the strike will finally end.
I just had to switch to JP, couldn’t bear the silence in some of the scenes 😭 it’s such a shame because then EN VA’s always kill it. I hope the VA’s get what they deserve and don’t get replaced by AI
Yeah, I had no choice switching into JP ,but it doesn't feel right after switching because I had to wait until the eng va arrives and looking at the previous story quest.
Considering Robin’s voiced in the Sunday trailer, defo the aftereffects of the strike
I decide not to play the story line because of their missing voice, hoping for them to fix it soon (CUZ I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR IT FOREVER AND I REFUSE TO PLAY IT WITH DAN HENG MISSING VOICE which really shock me)
I also decide not to play for now, but I’m most likely gonna get impatient or just try to farm jades for Fugue
Damn, hopefully they get voices soon because I am NOT playing the story until they do. Already felt this in the trailblazer room event
I was freaking out mostly that himeko and robin voices were missing in this story update
JP Male TB humming or singing when taking a bath is so precious 0.0
It feels like a visual novel they’re also silent in the Home Decor quest too. It’s crazy how they thought people would like to play in silence.
i’m not gonna do the quest until the voices are added in. feel free to drop me spoilers, specifically about sunday ❤️
So the way it's worded near the end, it sounded like the game VA Strike has ended. But last I heard, it was still going.
I hate when the "focus" of the quest gets muted
Iansan on her interlude and now Robin giving farewell to her brother
I'm so glad I'm on the JP dub for HSR, their contracts are more consistent than EN's
@ShizueUwU yeah i was like "what missing voices?" But I realized pretty quickly what language the missing voices were from. I'm glad I got to hear everything!
its always EN thats having the drama.. 😂
It's not drama.
Glad JP isn't plagued by this issue, it's my favorite dub（ ＾ν＾）
@@hauntinqghost lmao if en VAs spend half as much time they use to push their worthless western woke agendas and biting the hand that feeds them to actually do their job I might actually care about their strike
Himeko, Dan Heng, Asta, Trailblazer & Robin's voice have gone missing😭😭😭😭why, why???????!!!!!!!!!!…Because only for the new characters in Version 2.7 where their drip marketing are released, even Sunday is already introduced, maybe of his new outfit or his own fanbase popularity, besides Sunday's voice actor is really or very popular singer since he is like a celebrity😂😂😂
Me who stopped playing Star Rail at version 1.0 and only now coming back:
I may be too busy catching up like 17 updates to notice this lol
I hope they add the voicelines when they have the time. Since not every Player is at that part of the game yet it would still be worth it to record the missing lines later.
Happy I use the jpn or ch audio 😭
I’m scared that hsr will just replace the voice actors, like how tingyun’s va changed and then we will have many new voices that are strange to adjust to 😓
I really hope the contract issue gets resolved
Guess Imma wait until the last minute to do this quest, hopefully they patch the voices in by then
this is the reason why I always play HSR in JPN dub :)))) more emotional and realistic
lol I didn’t even know cause I wasn’t wearing headphones
As soon as I heard himeko and dan heng muted i was like "yeah thats enough im switching to JP now" i didnt even know ENG Robin was muted so im super glad i got to watch her conversation with sunday at the end in JP dub. Not switching back to ENG dub anymore. What a shame.
I think that only me when saw and heard Danheng and Himeko muted the fact they are muted😔
It’s wild that Aventurine doesn’t at all show up in the story, and yet his voice line when added with Sunday is included but Robin’s isn’t but it still exists
All i know, is that it makes me feel deeply remorseful that i bothered to get started with the english dub. The english VAs seem like a bunch of divas.
Please actually look into what you care about so you don't look like a jerk, the voicce actors are literally on strike to fight for rights to be treated properly and own rights to the voice they have and chances are hoyoverse are trying to swap studios for hsr due to possible issues which is a very annoying process but if you actually cared about the en dub then actually do yourself a favor and Look into stuff
@@trebull2284i have, and it's idiotic no matter how you look at it.
They're striking and causing problems for their agencies and the companies they're contracted with, which are Korean agencies where the English VAs aren't even really their concern (because all the other language VAs aren't doing this nonsense). And they belief that if they give the companies making them rich, and the agencies getting them jobs enough of a headache, that they'll give in to their demands.
Why? Why would they give in to their demands? Instead of just further enticing them to lean more into AI? Less drama, less of a headache, won't ruin an entire patch of your game, as they suddenly pull this on you.
How does doing this, do anything BUT make a company consider other options? Seriously think about that.
Look I get it. A lot of those VAs have really likable personalities when you watch them stream, and you likely take everything they say at face value, and since you enjoy their streams, you side with them without hesitation.
I find them funny and enjoyable too, (most of them.) But I'm not so blind as to know what im seeing when I watch their videos or their streams as they gamble away thousands for E6,S5 characters every patch for multiple games at a time, while telling me how worried they are about money.

They've openly shown that English VAs that bring a lot of baggage with them or who are drama filled, they're more than happy to drop.

I hope this shit will resolve very quickly 😢😢😢
I hope it gets resolved soon too. Also, I kinda say to myself that the mutism that Argenti had is contagious.

This whole thing has convinced me to go over to Japanese Dub. I support the VA's efforts to get what they need to safeguard their jobs against AI. But it's just too weird at this point to keep using English Dub.
Exactly! There's no point of Eng dub at this point, too much drama lol
Same, it sucks because I really do like the English dub but it's so damn inconsistent at this point that I'm just switching over to JP
Yeah, it's like weebs can't even shut up about the ENG dub and saying JP are superior while the weebs can't even speak Japanese just because they listen to JP voicelines.
i cried during the robin and sunday scene :( im sad there was no voice acting, it was so good :((
If it truly is temporary I wish they would have just put in some fucking generic Text-to-speech
I hope it would be fully voiced (or almost of it especially of Robin's) in the next patch as Kachina made it after 5.2 patch her voice was misssed in 5.1
PS : There are many NPC's from GI and HSR affected of the strike as not being muted but changed it, the example is Pacal from GI
This VA-AI conflict getting on my nerves, why cant Hoyo just find another studio which gets the job done and gives the characters voice, Nahida's birthday was the same situation like this, its never ending and its very irritating.
Same, like just get things done already
They are trying to get another studio, idk about hsr but they tried with getting the va to Furina studio
They did get a new studio! They fired Formosa and are moving to Furinas studio. Just takes time to move everything. They said in the Dev notes that they will be added in soon. I heard from someone in reddit that they may even fix it on the update when Fugue banner comes out. But definitely for 3.0.
Yeah, when I playing through the story this yesterday and this morning I was sad that they didn't have a voice.

I truly hope they give a proper heads up if there is even any sort of timeline this time around for getting them voiced. I had skipped an event (and didn't manage to finish another one) when I was waiting out Argenti's lines... only to give in later because I wanted to get to the event... At least this time around I can just just unlock them but at this point, I'll get get on my side account to play everything in JP and catch up.
I'm not surprised that this happened again. fortunately I didn't do the new TB quest yet, times like this I'll just switch to JP...I'll just do it when they decide to get the Va's back

Before comments flood and everyone yells strike, read here.
This is very likely a bug, as the programming for EN mouth movement is entirely missing too.
Music except for the jukebox on the express is muted for people, including myself.
And Honkai: Star Rail is NOT a part of the strike.
So this is very likely to be an audio related bug.
For the music example, even with restarts, only my express has music, other places and modes like DU are dead silence music wise.
VA wise, I'd assume something messed up when it comes to potentially having to switch Tingyun's VA, they may have accidentally done something to EN in the process somehow.
Music wise, no idea. 💀🙏
All I know, HSR is NOT in the strike, but there seems to be audio related bugs in mass during 2.7.
Edit: The EN VAs were SAID in patch notes to be due to a scheduling issue.
Seems I was too late on being here before people assuming it's 100% The strike.
Remember that we were fine in 2.5 and 2.6 with Dan Heng, Himeko and Robin.
Which was during the Genshin voice muting.
Which makes it even more likely that it isn't anything relating to the strike.
@@therealestsparkle sadly i hope it just a bug cause there already an annoying people celebrating this going on

@Snowbell247 That could work, but it's weird that music audio is ALSO missing.

“*absolute silence*”
I've been hoping since the game launch that they make a setting like Arknights where we can set language per character. That would fix the EN voice problem. I use JP voice in general but I really like March and Dr Ratio's EN voice that I switch to EN everytime they're on my party. Would be great if I can use CN dub on Dan Heng and other Xianzhou characters without changing everyone's voice to CN too.
@@hikarishini Then the story would plays out like a Tekken game😂
sunday having a heart felt convo with robin
robin: 🙂🗿
English voice actors please come back we don't want this strike to be on forever please come back to us we miss you guys voicing as our favorite characters does strike has been going on since the beginning we can't take this anymore please come back
we gotta respect their decisions. The strike only began because their company began using their voices to train AI and not paying them. Its a serious issue, and just because we want them back doesn't mean they should come back.
Until they have sorted this issue out, then I think it's wise to keep striking. How would you feel if your voice was being trained by ai??? /lh
@@maecherie you're right about that I don't want to affect my future though I want to be a English voice actor when I turn 18 or 19 when I grow up I just wish the strike could just be over with an AI could just leave the English va's alone
@@AngelUzamaki75 that is completely fine and understandable, and there some companies which aren't doing this, etc paimons one iirc cause she's voiced. again. unfortunately in the age of ai, some companies might take advantage of their vas. perfectly normal to be upset over, however. I'm annoyed myself but we gotta respect the vas.
@maecherie well whatever Piamon's VA is at at that studio that's the studio I'm going at cuz I'm not going to have the AI voice thing as my character when I get older
Fortunately, I play muted unless I want to hear cut scenes and etc. I wish the best for the VAs to return!❤
glad I prefer playing in JP but damn... the amount of issues and controversies with EN VAs and Rec. Studios must be so annoying for EN voice users at this point.. it seriously compromises the game experience for them.
So... Its not only onmyoji, also an scene from a cutscene of identity v coa animated video of the characters who got skins for the tournament (is the latest tournament that happened).
It was the scene of a character with white hair playing the piano (composer) to then loon up to a building, dont remember the video neither scene but im gonna check it out fast.
i’m just waiting for the oh robin the trailblazer asta ect have new voice actor’s now then we will know that it’s not just “scheduling conflicts” but mihoyo replacing all of the va’s who went on strike and were just using “scheduling conflicts” as an excuse until they could hire new va’s
The VAs shouldn't be surprised that they're being replaced by new voice actors for going on strike.
Hoyo isn’t replacing directly so much-it’s the studio Hoyo contracts having those voice actors that sorta force some hands. The studios should be pressured and then Hoyo wouldn’t need to pressure for replacements for needs and necessities of voicelines.
HSR studio isn't one of the studios targeted by the VA strike so unless VAs aren't doing any work at all, even with studios that aren't under strike, then its a contract or scheduling issue. Hoyo really needs to find a studio they work directly with for EN dub, three studios, three times the inconsistency.
The reason to play this game in JP VA
I usually play asian games on Japanese dub (I know HSR is made by a Chinese company but honestly I find Japanese voices more soothing) with subtitles. Was never so glad I was doing it since I started to play HSR
If this is the case, ima gonna stop playing HSR and GENSHIN and focus on my college Final year project or play other games, until a patch regarding to the eng VAs comes out
I don’t know what is happening to me, but HSR and GENSHIN subtitles always had some rare looking English vocabulary, so I always prepare a notebook and a dictionary to try understand the lore and jot down the translation(I’m not joking, I started doing this during the 2.2 story mode), I always use the playback function in the story mode to re-listen the subtitles so I can have a better understanding of the lore.(or sometimes just to enjoy the audio especially himeko’s sussy voices in the dream bubble HAHA and Argenti’s knight-ish voices)
So basically, I consider the ENG VAs are some sort of English teacher to me, and no one’s gonna stop me to changing the dubs, EVER.
Either the strike or recording studio issue but rather than just that the weather could also be the issue on top of their schedule conflicts since in some places there be snowstorms depending on where the companies are. Honestly some companies do close down during snowstorms while others don't although that does depend on if they decide to close early during that kind of weather.
