These are arranged in no particular order. An impressive performance doesn't just mean the loudest or most dramatic. What matters is when you can tell just by listening how much effort and passion was put into a line delievery. So who was your favorite voice this volume? My personal vote is with Taylor McNee- Penny!
To choose just one....... Dear lord!! Penny, Watts, Renora, even Jaune!!! The VA cast hit new heights this volume. But, for me..... It had to be Cinder!! Jessica Nigiri's performance was really top-tier. And Winter a close second!! 😎👍🌹👏💓
Harriet's scream gives me chills, and Winter's voice is just amazing. This Volume was FULL of amazing deliveries. especially in the last episode. chills all around
Totally favor Watts' speech to Cinder and Ruby and Yang's little heart to heart talk about everything being a disaster but having to fight through it. And points to Nora talking to Penny too. They sure had gotten close. Hope Nora beats the sh8t out of Cinder.
Taylor's performance was incredible, Penny goes through such an array of different moods this volume and she captured them all perfectly. Kdin is a close runner up, May didn't have a ton of time but when she was on screen I loved every line she spoke.
"You can't just be strong, you have to be SMART! You can't just be deserving, you have to be WORTHY! But all you've ever been, *IS A BLOODY MIGRAINE!!!* "
The way Penny's VA perfectly encapsulates the tone of another actresses character is amazing. She let's the entire audience know in a second that the character she's currently voicing isn't really Penny from that alone
@@citrus2801 for the line where Emerald illusions herself as Penny. Its still Penny's VA doing the acting of course, but you instantly know its Emerald the moment she makes her tone slip into the tone Emerald uses with the "I have-" and then emeralds voice actor following with "feels good". The reason you know in that moment it's Emerald is because of the amazing voice acting on Penny
Jaune's panic when he is trying to talk Penny out of her plan, and his cry of anguish when he grants her wish hit hard and are the best lines to me. Even if they are heartbreaking. In a similar vein Winter crying out for Weiss is a close second. Loved the Volume and I'm hyped for 9
@@gcdjshaneshow 😱😱😱 I would be heartbroken, but hopefully Ruby wouldn't do anything rash since Penny asked him to do it. Imagine the pain he must feel knowing he had to kill her. I hope he finally kills Cinder, I wanna see that fight happen. (He's good comedic relief but he needs to pull a Bolin from LOK Book 4 and go ape shit)
Penny's "Dad?!" sounded so vulnerable with the way her voice trembled/broke. Taylor nailed the intent behind that line - a terrified, confused young girl calling out for her parent.
What hit me is that I got that "wait..." moment right before she transformed just from the tone shift in Penny's VA's voice. She's an incredible actress.
Thank you for this I'mStrange!!! I really hate how criticism is thrown left and right, and to see videos like this makes me have faith and increase my love for this show. Truly a masterpiece👏👏👏
I mean right now even if I stopped liking the show the voice acting is pretty fucking good and the soundtrack is usually filled with bangers that captures the moment and feeling of its audience. Story direction still annoys.
@@jessicaravenclaw3186 I agree as, I love RWBY, the show is amazing, and I love how the studio made the animation this time. They are doing this for Monty when he died to keep his shoe going to honor his wishes. Monty would be proud how his show is doing. My favorite character is Ruby, and I hope not, nothing happens to her.
Ikr, i'm actually surprised that i'm seeing such of positive over RWBY, It is true it haven't been the same since volume 3 but it's because the show took another direction but yet, people complains, kinda annoying tbh.
These comments are great but so far I haven’t seen any about Oscar’s scream at 2:44 gives me chills EVERY time that I listen to it. Being able to not only deliver a well done scream but one so full of pain and such that gives you chills is another level of amazing Aaron really did an amazing job this season, so did everyone else’s voice actors. They all brought their A-game and I cannot wait for the next season to bring me tears yet again.
Idk why, I think it’s because it’s so good, I forget how horrifying the scream is. I was 7 minutes in reading comments and saw this one and like “what scream?” It’s so blood curdling I block it out! So well done
Roman made such a strong impression in that first appearance alone that he got upgraded from a one-off villain to one of the main antagonists of the Beacon Arc, and considering that, without Roman, Neo probably wouldn't exist either, his influence can still be felt in the show even to this day.
“You’re right… Without you, I *AM* nothing… but *BECAUSE* of you… I am everything!” Is one of my favorite lines but it may be overrated so it’s fair it’s not here lol
Idk bout you but all the times Winter screams in agony after Weiss falls and when she takes out her pain on Grimm were the award-winning moments of the season
Three moments that make me cry every time without fail: 1. Pietro screaming that he doesn't care about anything else but his daughter and her being able to live, followed by her soft reply of "but dad, in trying to." 2. Penny's fearful voice calling out "Dad" later followed by a weak and heartbroken "I love you." 3. Harriet's scream when she realizes Vine is sacrificing himself to save her and everyone else. Seriously, chills and tears every time regardless of time or place. There are so many more but these 3 in particular just cause instant waterworks.
Keep in mind how it all looks from pietros perspective. For all he knew, his daughter just died again! That heartbreaking "I love you" hits twice as hard when you look at it from the perspective of a father watching his daughter 'die'
Winter and Blake’s voices as they watched their loved ones fall over the edge and then process their “deaths” have so much raw emotion it gave me chills and made me start crying
The subtle detail of how Salem is livid whenever shes talking to Ozma, but the SECOND she turns her attention to someone else, her demeanor is impeccably calm. THAT is terrifying
Weiss's scream when she was shot up the tube was really good too. Penny's voice actress really knew how to scream as well. Every scream of pain was heartbreaking
Why won't TV Tropes put Christopher R. Sabat performing Watt's _damning_ "You Suck" speech under "He Can _Really_ Act"? He had experience when it comes to yelling in a microphone.
You do know TV Tropes is a user maintained system (with some necessary regulations), don't you? Just sign up and add it yourself if you feel that strongly about it.
@@adrianacollazo8770 i think it has to do with some dramas at rooster teeth as a company at the time? I also want to know those"controversies" specifically.
People can say what they will about the story and characters, but one of the best things this volume has to offer is in the presentation. They went all out with the voice acting, the set pieces, the score and the animation.
It’s so good seeing positivity around RWBY. V8 has had some of the greatest moments in the series and it feels to me like it’s finally living up to its potential in full. My favorite bit of voice acting is Pietro. He expresses so much pain with so little.
Taylor McNee (Penny) was the MVP of V8 just like Jason Rose (Ironwood) was the MVP of Volume 8. Everyone brought their A-game though. I am as excited for Volume 9 as I am scared, becuase after everything that happened in Atlas, hearing the characters deal with everything is gonna hurt. And as for Ruby... man, I think Volume 9 is gonna rip out our hearts and let Lindsay finally bring out all of the pain Ruby has been carrying.
Can I just give props to the animators at 05:32? Ren's hand shakes when Nora says "but that didn't matter to you". It's so subtle but works so well with his character. Sometimes I feel the animators care more about this show than the writers/directors.
People can say what they will about how “RWBY was better before it got popular” or “the animation isn’t as good” or “the writing is cheesy”. But if there’s ONE thing that has objectively improved, it’s the voice acting.
Oscar's VA was my favourite in the volume for me! Aaron Dismuke is so good at doing Oscar and Ozpin! Penny's VA was my second favourite and Nora's VA was third.
How are you gonna leave out Juane & Yang almost falling to their deaths? The bone chilling screams of dread was the best direction I've seen from Juane in a while.
Aaron Dismuke, Shannon McCormick, Jason Rose, Jen Taylor, Miles Luna, Lindsay Jones, and Taylor McNee are easily my top actors in this series These people are LEGENDS
This is my favorite volume because you can tell what every character is feeling at all times and you can tell that every moment is critical in saving the world
"that's what happened to mom..." And that was a completely missed opportunity to make a corrupted form of Summer with like, some Grimm stuff Like when Salem pulled a "You're mom" on ruby in Vol.7!
@@flameproductions8360 I agree that it would’ve, but that also means that CRWBY has a plot point in their back pocket for later. Its some mighty fine leverage for the finale, so I don’t mind much that they held off.
Well as ruby said Salem just learned she could do new things with silver eyed warriors other than just killing them I'm gonna assume summer was the first experiment and didn't really make it Like a failed test run
You can really hear Vegeta shine through in Watt's voice when he's doing his monologue. I love his character so much. He's the only one that tells it like it is. XD
There’s a reason why this volume in particular is my favorite and that’s because of all the insane things that happened during this volume especially anything relating to the Hound
Honestly, volume 8 did so much for the entire series. I have loved the series for a long time, and even as I watched and listened to many of the problems and criticisms that people had over the last few seasons, I was still going to love it. Yet volume 8 addressed so many things, for so many characters that I can't help but think that Volume 9 might be the best one to come
All those VA's put their souls into those scenes. I especially love Watts monologue and the scene with Ruby and Yang on the stairs{ 6:43 } that scene really hit me in the heart.
I'm glad to see videos pop in my feed praising the stuff RT has done well with RWBY, specially in Vol 7 and 8, which have been outstanding to me. Glad to see people still love the show 😌
I’d give it to Oscar or penny. Sure watts had the best rant in the show, but Chris sabat is one of the more senior actors in the show, plus he voiced all might, what else is there to say?
"You think you're entitled to everything because you suffered, but suffering isn't enough! You can't just be strong, you have to be SMART. You can't just be deserving, you have to be WORTHY!" From beginning to end, Watts was one of the realest mfers in Remnant.
Every voice actor brought their a-game this volume, I cannot praise a single performance because I can think of something to say for pretty much every main player
Never fails. Even in positive comment sections you always find commentors that say something nice...and then segue into trying to shit on the writers as if they didn't...you know...WRITE all of this amazingly-delivered dialogue.
4:45 OKAY IK ITS ONLY 2 WORDS BUT STILL THANK YOU FOR INCLUDING THIS BC IVE ALWAYS ADMIRED VA'S WHO CAN NOT ONLY CREATE NEW CHARACTER VOICES OF THEIR OWN, BUT CAN ALSO SOMEHOW STILL SOUND LIKE THEIR OWN CHARACTERS VOICE WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY PERFECTLY EMULATING THE TONES AND MANNERISMS OF ANOTHER CHARACTER THATS TYPICALLY VOICED BY A DIFFERENT VA ENTIRELY, LIKE DAMN 🤯🤯 I ALREADY LOVED IT WHEN IT WAS OSCAR'S VA SOMEHOW SOUNDING LIKE OSCAR BUT ALSO LIKE OZPIN AT THE EXACT SAME TIME, AND I STILL LOVE IT WITH PENNY'S VA IMITATING EMERALD IN THE SAME MANNER NOW, BC THATS SKILL RIGHT THERE MF 🥰🥰
I miss my boy Arthur Watts. And now I have NOTHING! 😂 Seriously though some top notch noice acting throughout season 7 and 8. I am so hyped for volume 9’s release!
I wish for Salem’s return shriek, we got a close up shot of her, and then zoomed out as the camera heads to one of the portals to see everyone’s reactions. Just sounds cool to me, sorry I know she did it in Vol 6, but it’d be better here.
The voice acting in this show is so gosh darn impressive. One of my favorites has got to be Blake in the end of v8 screaming "YANG!" the emotion in Arryn's voice for Blake was so powerful
I'm a bit surprised that one of Hazei's scenes, seconds prior to getting ready to duke it out against Salem isn't here. He gives reassurance to Emerald, a second chance to Ozpin/Oscar, knowing he would die saving them and the rest. RIP big guy.
They really did give it there all this season. On a slightly unrelated note, if I keep seeing people saying that this season was lazily written, I swear to whatever god is listening that I’m about to slap some of those people in the face-
I'd say the writing was quite alright, but now it's a problem in execution of it. It's especially bad in a fights. The two times they faced the Hound it was just crew standing around and taking hits. Instead of them trying different angles of approach and failing, Ruby just... Took all of the hits, got out of the fight for a whole episode, only to come back in the end and flash Eyes on it. Could've been executed so much better. The same with the last fight, they are spending more time on making reactions (a whole second on each) or striking a conversation, then actually fighting someone. It would be much more belivable if they were fighting with all they had and simply got overwhelmed, but instead they were fighting like it's a JRPG.
Aw-hawww no, watching this is making me emotional 😭 Ren and Nora’s sweet moment…Vine dying…And Winter believing she failed to save her little sister…😭 If moments can affect you no matter how many times you’ve watched it, then _that_ is a GREAT moment ;-;
These are arranged in no particular order.
An impressive performance doesn't just mean the loudest or most dramatic. What matters is when you can tell just by listening how much effort and passion was put into a line delievery.
So who was your favorite voice this volume? My personal vote is with Taylor McNee- Penny!

An honorable mention imo is the va for Oscar being able to perfectly convey Oscar pretending to be ozpin without sounding exactly like ozpin
You know what, you’re _completely_ right! :o
It’s an incredibly fine line to walk. I love it
Yeah his talent when it comes to voice acting is amazing
aaron dismuke is incredible
Yeah but he's been doing that so it doesn't really stand out
Watts monologue is one of the best in whole series.
Chris Sabat always brings his A-Game.

"You can't just be strong, you have to be SMART!
You can't just be deserving, you have to be WORTHY!
But all you've ever been, *IS A BLOODY MIGRAINE!!!* "
You- you-CLOD!!!!!

Her VA really did an incredible job
It was clear Penny was panicked, didn't know what to do and tried to get her father's help but too late

Everyone really brought their best to Volume 8 and it shines through in every scene.
Except for Weiss for some reason.
@@66LordLoss66 She was busy sipping tea after all.
Exxept the writers

If only the story could stack up
Winter’s VA absolutely knocked it out of the park in V8. Like all of the VAs did a stellar job, but she nailed her lines every time

Three moments that make me cry every time without fail:
1. Pietro screaming that he doesn't care about anything else but his daughter and her being able to live, followed by her soft reply of "but dad, in trying to."
2. Penny's fearful voice calling out "Dad" later followed by a weak and heartbroken "I love you."

Everyone brought their A-game though.
I am as excited for Volume 9 as I am scared, becuase after everything that happened in Atlas, hearing the characters deal with everything is gonna hurt.

"You think you're entitled to everything because you suffered, but suffering isn't enough! You can't just be strong, you have to be SMART. You can't just be deserving, you have to be WORTHY!"
From beginning to end, Watts was one of the realest mfers in Remnant.
Winter is my favorite. I can feel her fury❄ 9:58
9:28 My fav is when winter screaming to weiss
Voice work has seriously improved dramatically over the series
God I forgot how much season 8 sent chills down my spine. Amazing season and show
You are one of the best RWBY channels here, you keep the community strong. 💪
1:56 This... This is a brilliant speech. Full marks.
Every voice actor brought their a-game this volume, I cannot praise a single performance because I can think of something to say for pretty much every main player
Bro they really get all in character when it gets intense in any certain scenes
Watts really had the best roasting lines in the entire show, and they had the nerve to kill him off.
Will always be so amazed by so many of these, been following RWBY for a good 7-8 years now.
Never fails. Even in positive comment sections you always find commentors that say something nice...and then segue into trying to shit on the writers as if they didn't...you know...WRITE all of this amazingly-delivered dialogue.
actually, some dialogues were bada however the voice acting was good.
its different
Penny has all the best everything in volume 8.
4:45 OKAY IK ITS ONLY 2 WORDS BUT STILL THANK YOU FOR INCLUDING THIS BC IVE ALWAYS ADMIRED VA'S WHO CAN NOT ONLY CREATE NEW CHARACTER VOICES OF THEIR OWN, BUT CAN ALSO SOMEHOW STILL SOUND LIKE THEIR OWN CHARACTERS VOICE WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY PERFECTLY EMULATING THE TONES AND MANNERISMS OF ANOTHER CHARACTER THATS TYPICALLY VOICED BY A DIFFERENT VA ENTIRELY, LIKE DAMN 🤯🤯 I ALREADY LOVED IT WHEN IT WAS OSCAR'S VA SOMEHOW SOUNDING LIKE OSCAR BUT ALSO LIKE OZPIN AT THE EXACT SAME TIME, AND I STILL LOVE IT WITH PENNY'S VA IMITATING EMERALD IN THE SAME MANNER NOW, BC THATS SKILL RIGHT THERE MF 🥰🥰
It was very impressive!
3:03 still remains the best shocker that glyph abilities of the Schnee family originated from the mother and then passed on to the daughters
That wasn’t already established?
This series is the embodiment of “glow up”
RIP Penny. My favorite girl. ❤️
I miss my boy Arthur Watts. And now I have NOTHING! 😂 Seriously though some top notch noice acting throughout season 7 and 8. I am so hyped for volume 9’s release!
Cinder did Watts DIRTY. I knew she was going to pull something after his speech to her but that was HARSH
@@avastipp Well he did the ultimate roasting that Cinder was so overdo!!! He had to know she'd get him back..... And did she ROASTED HIM BACK!!! 😵🔥😄
@@lorenzoteague8445 The literal roast! Just like a marshmallow!
The fact that your profile pic is exactly matching the first part of your comment XD
Jen Taylor (Salem), Elizabeth Maxwell (Winter), and Caitlyn Glass (Willow) were supporting standouts for me.
Seriously, I just finished volume 8 a couple hours ago and I'm ready to cry again
I wish for Salem’s return shriek, we got a close up shot of her, and then zoomed out as the camera heads to one of the portals to see everyone’s reactions. Just sounds cool to me, sorry
I know she did it in Vol 6, but it’d be better here.
This season put Winter in my top 5 favourite Rwby characters of all time. Elizabeth really pulled through with her voice acting this season 😍
But piertro worrying about penny probably is my fav
Everyone really stepped up their games in volume 8
The voice acting in this show is so gosh darn impressive. One of my favorites has got to be Blake in the end of v8 screaming "YANG!" the emotion in Arryn's voice for Blake was so powerful
This vid is just constant chills also I know it’s not on here but the funniest scream was the coffee spill XD
Ren the only one in both teams that have more than 2 brain cells
I'm a bit surprised that one of Hazei's scenes, seconds prior to getting ready to duke it out against Salem isn't here. He gives reassurance to Emerald, a second chance to Ozpin/Oscar, knowing he would die saving them and the rest. RIP big guy.
They really did give it there all this season.
On a slightly unrelated note, if I keep seeing people saying that this season was lazily written, I swear to whatever god is listening that I’m about to slap some of those people in the face-
Even watching a SINGLE clip in this video I kept crying--
its the same level as volume 7 excpet that one was worse
I'd say the writing was quite alright, but now it's a problem in execution of it. It's especially bad in a fights.
The two times they faced the Hound it was just crew standing around and taking hits. Instead of them trying different angles of approach and failing, Ruby just... Took all of the hits, got out of the fight for a whole episode, only to come back in the end and flash Eyes on it. Could've been executed so much better.
The same with the last fight, they are spending more time on making reactions (a whole second on each) or striking a conversation, then actually fighting someone. It would be much more belivable if they were fighting with all they had and simply got overwhelmed, but instead they were fighting like it's a JRPG.
Nora should've been the Winter Maiden, we were robbed! Tricked! Led astray! Bamboozled!
We were schmeckledorfed!
If it makes you feel better, It’s possible for Cinder to eventually die. Plus, the Summer Maiden is still unaccounted for.
Aw-hawww no, watching this is making me emotional 😭 Ren and Nora’s sweet moment…Vine dying…And Winter believing she failed to save her little sister…😭 If moments can affect you no matter how many times you’ve watched it, then _that_ is a GREAT moment ;-;
That Nora scream is up there
It was Oscar's blood curdling screams of agony for me.
There are still so many lines that give me chills
