Are black soldiers going to have a different voice to white ones?
- Thread starter Survii
- Start date
As far as I can tell the only voice lines in game are left over from RS1, which I'm glad about because I really, really think the VA from RS1 was trying to hard to emulate that typical Ranger voice. I can't answer if they'll have different voice actors, but I'd say it's likely.

In general, it'd be a plus to have accents from all over the U.S--people from the midwest, southeast, appalachia, the mid-atlantic, and so forth.

What makes you think that we are only going to have one Vietnamese voice actor?

That's not true at all. RO2/RS had 3 voice actors for each team. You can look it up.

I knew you had to edit my previous statement. On the actual battlefield there is one single voice at the time representing the soldiers of a single faction. Of course there are more voices if you don't use the native-voices etc. but it is always one voice per faction at the same time.

Either this is a misunderstanding or you are still wrong. There are 3 German, 3 Russian, 3 Japanese and 3 American voice actors in RO2/RS. If I remember correctly there are even 3 different voice actors in the english version of RO2 simulating Russian and German accents.nilsmoody;n2289563 said:

Only 2 german and 2 russian I'm afraid. They cheated. They have 3 voice "packages". But 2 of them are copies of one another lol.
But yeah RS there's 3 each.

Pro tip.
Change audio quality from Low to high.
Suddenly there's a lot more voices.

I can say with 100% certainty that there are 3 German and 3 Russian native voice actors.

White voice? A black guy raised in the burbs surrounded by white middle America sounds like a middle American. A black guy raised in an area with that "black" voice just ended up picking up one of the many regional accents of the Country. Like Texas drawl, Minnesota wacko, Tennessean hick, West Virginia hill Billy, New York ehh whatever that is, or that thing like most of county calls no accent (which is in fact, an accent).
So having a black guy sound like most Americans is legit. Not to say including any of the regional accent differences would not be welcome. But calling that a white accent is wacko. What about natural born Americans of Asian decent? Sounds like everyone else around where I live.

Agreed. I don't know what the heck Lemon is going on about but there are 3 audibly distinct voice actors for all factions.
The problem is that two Japanese actors have missing more than half their lines, but there's still three different ones.

Their voices sound different. Yes, their accents can be similar (I have black friends) but you can always distinguish black from white

I took a look at the Localized voices just now, and it's pretty interesting.
At first glance it seems like three unique voices, but on closer inspection it could be possible that the third is just the second one slightly altering his pitch. The packages are definitely not copy/pasted though.
