As a voice actor, I can say that The Town With No Name has the greatest voice acting of any game. Ever.

As an amateur voice actor, I know for a fact that even brilliant actors have delivered lines dreadfully if they aren’t given good direction or, worse yet, no direction at all.
Yeah, exactly!
Voice actors are artists too, and you can’t give them zero resources and expect them too succeed.
Exactly! The same applies when an actor completely messes up an accent.
I was a voice actor for a game when I was a kid. Maybe it’s different me being a kid; but the directing was EVERYTHING
SamWallace Art what game?
The best example of this is probably Xenoblade 2. The game is full of talented actors, but suffers from poor direction, despite this several actors were able to deliver good performances.
The game 'The Town With No Name' was designed as a western shitpost satire. That explains the Awkward voice acting... partially.
it's also a super-cheap game made by Amiga enthusiasts going to university

Benny's voice acting is objectively bad. But the game just wouldn't be the same without it.

You don't KNOW bad voice acting.
As a translator, what you described sounds much more like bad translation vs. localization. Actual good quality translation is not just translating things word for word, but translating them with their meaning in mind (without changing things too much to suit the target language/culture, like in localization). Localization can sometimes be a good choice and there are some excellent ones out there, but that is sadly not always the case and it's not even an option for every game/movie/book/etc because of the context, themes and story. Personally, I prefer good quality translations over localization, because that allows me to hear the creators' original voice and intentions better, but to each their own~
Sorry, I just had to comment ^^" Seeing people conflate or confuse bad (possibly machine or amateur made) translations with actual good quality translations makes me sad :< People usually only take note of translations when they are bad or ineffective (as one of the hallmarks of a good translation often is that it does not draw attention to itself), and it can be easy to think that translations are just bad more often than not. Good translators do not get nearly enough credit in pretty much any industry, but especially game industry.
It was a pointless distinction
This is what I thought too
Translation requires localization to some degree
Professional translation is NEVER one to one word conversation. All translation is (or at least should be) ALWAYS written with context and culture in mind. Even Google Translate tries to adjust to different tones by guessing the context. This is the first thing you learn when you learn any type of translation. Localization is just subcategory of translation.
Yeah that irked me too. Word by word translation is completely illegible so its not even a thing. Translation does adapt grammar and figures of speech to make sense. The difference is that localization goes even further, to the point of destroying nuance. For example pokemons' infamous jelly doughnuts which are actually onigiri, where they unnecessarily, and clumsily localized the snack. Translating them as a rice balls wouldve gotten the message across just fine and avoided confusion. Or ace attorney's almost tongue in cheek setting of its story in california, when the characters' entire lifestyle, from furniture to food, is blatantly japanese. That is localization, and its honestly kinda cringe and destructive cause if you have an internet connection, you should be able to search for foreign things you dont understand.
I was thinking the same thing. A localization (in my experience) is usually a bad thing and marks poor quality or low expectations from the audience as it erases pieces of culture and storytelling from the original to make it "easier" to consume. Changing the names, races, locations, etc of a story is a waste of time that only confuses everyone involved and takes away from (or sometimes introduces) story elements. I also have problems with localizations as they make the assumption that they can override the original works' intent with their own past what's considered okay from a translation.
Did he say “a moo point” at about 5 min in?
Yeah. It's like a cow's opinion. It just doesn't matter. It's moo.

Another important thing to note is that when it came to recording english dialog, many Japanese devs would hire locally rather than outsource to studios in English speaking countries.
A great example I always think of where you can see/hear this is the voice acting in the Mega Man Legends games vs. the voice acting in Mega Man 8 and X4. MML used canadian VAs and it sounds great, or at least fitting of the Saturday Morning Anime feel of the series (which is partially because that's where a ton of early dubs were done, and a ton still are at studios like Ocean and whatnot). Compare that the MM8 and X4 voice acting and... yeah. This is also the case with RE1 and Castlevania SotN among others... though I still think Robbie Belgrade is actually great as Alucard (save for a few lines), and I was super happy to hear him in Bloodstained.
Im pretty sure Voice acting is the least of the problems of The Town With No Name.

@@hotcrossballs Thats really cool

VIDEO SUMMARY:
It's because:
1) A lack of money sometimes meant non-professionals had to do voice acting, or having a few voice actors do all of the voices in the games
2) Poor script writing
3) Use of translations (word-to-word conversions between languages), which lose nuances or just don't make sense, instead of localizations (which also changes the script to account for cultural differences)
4) Because of the poor formatting of the scripts (basically a list of voice lines without order) actors were not given the necessary context to figure out the inflection or tone intended
5) Actors often did not interact or even hear each other's lines, so they didn't have knowledge of the context of the scene
6) No director, meaning they had even less guidance and feedback (performers had to just guess)
7) No time for planning, practice, or rehearsal, and limited time in the audio booth, so actors got few or no retakes

I love how the Perfect Dark team literally grabbed people out of the hall without notice to voice. I think the main character was a composer on her break. They did a good job tho in my opinion. It fit the game.
It did-matched Perfect Dark's B-movie sci-fi vibe perfectly.
I always thought the voice acting in perfect dark did a pretty a good job.
I love the town with no name
The animation is on par with the voices and it plays like garbage it's great

Based on the title I was half-expecting just snide comments on bad voice acting, but instead I was delightfully surprised by a thoughtful analysis of the challenges of a difficult time period for even the best of actors. Thanks for taking the time to look deeper!

One game that really ruins the immersion is Red Dead Redemptions voices. The voice acting per se is actually fantastic, but the fact that the voices are incredibly compressed and scratchy really ruins your immersion. That and the fact that your horse will run away from you if you sprint towards it are my only complaints about the game
I thought that only happened in Witcher 3 and Assassin's Creed: Origins. Why do horses like running away from you in open world games? 😂🐴🏇🏻
I haven't played that game, but the voices might be compressed and scratchy to give it an 80's spaghetti western feel
“oh no somethings coming.”
“oh no he’s gonna explode.”
forgot to say something it is the best voice line lol
I thought CGI Norman Reedus' eyes looked kind of dead, but then you showed the live action comparison and I remembered, oh yeah that's just what he looks like.

I really enjoyed doing VO for the Skyrim mod Enderal. I was supplied proper dialogue scripts with context, they had a database on how to pronounce every single one of the many special names an terms they had, and even though I did it at home alone with my desktop microphone I felt supported in the effort by the development team. Playing the game I also found that most of the performances were pretty great, especially given the fact that we all worked free of charge. Overall it was a fantastic experience and I recommend you give Enderal a play if you own Skyrim.
Some of my favorite bad video game voice acting comes from the early days of the Nancy Drew PC adventure games. They're hilarious 😂

Awesome video. I’m a voice actor and I can vouch for a lot of this. All but one of my video game job voice scripts have been Excel spreadsheets. Translation rather than localisation also means that sometimes VAs will have to reword the scripts as they go. There is such an audible difference in working with a director too... it’s worth the extra money!
9:53 this is a practice I often do with "scripts for student actors" penny books I buy from local bookstores, great for practice but you'd be surprised just how hard it is to deduce inflection and tone from out of context script !!!
This was so eye opening. It was really interesting to see an example of how a complex game script can be written in such a way that you have no idea what the context of the line will be. In the case of well known actors giving poor performances, I've always wondered if some of that comes from voice directors feeling star stuck. I got this idea watching the making of documentary that came with the GotY edition of Oblivion. They seemed so awe struck to have Patrick Stewart come in to read for the Emperor, that I had a hard time imagining any of them trying to give him any kind of direction on how to read the lines.
When the awkward voice acting just makes the game more charming and fun to play: "Don't worry, Mama will fix it."
This is exactly the kind of video I was hoping to find. Excellent work!
*flashbacks to your short career as a voice actor*
This video was fantastic!
I'm reminded of John DiMaggio's documentary, "I Know That Voice", that had many VAs in it. What a lot of them said boiled down to, "If the performance isn't very good, then it's probably a rush job or bad voice direction."
You can really hear the rush job theory if you play Fire Emblem: Warriors and compare it to Fire Emblem: Awakening. Both games were directed by Patrick Seitz and feature much of the same cast, but Warriors is significantly more awkward and less grounded sounding because it was a rush job. His most recently-directed game, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, had more localization time and is a day and night acting quality difference.
Thank you for the quality video!

This is why appreciate the voice acting in Ys Book I&II on the PC Engine CD/turbografx so much and I wish it was discussed or mentioned in this video. Even though it came out in 1990 it had multiple professional voice actors and great direction. Just listening to the opening narration is amazing

guys, remember, this video is coming from a former video game voice actor. he knows what he's talking about.
He doesn't though
I'm glad someone actually covered the logistics of this. Every project I've ever worked on, I've had to pretty much give everyone a lesson on the basics for how to avoid mistakes created by the logistics of development.
Hey, at least you guys HAVE voice acting. I have something I have nicknamed "Blips" - deep, high, low pitches repeated to imitate older games that didn't have voice acting: with deep blips going to male leader roles, medium blips going to main heroes and supporting cast, and high blips being almost always female.
Benny was voiced well (aside from maybe the sex scene).
Also while there were some bad voice acting in early games there were some good ones too.
Same with writing, whole down early games had bad writing, there were many that had good writing.
most of the good early voice acting for videogames came from games where only the main character (or some other important character) had 90% of the lines, and didn't have to interact with any other character
I always found Dracula's line from Castlevania really cool
And now we have masterpieces in voice acting like Spiderman PS4 where they recorded most of Spider-Man’s lines twice, one where he was winded which played if you were swinging on your web or running and one normal if you were just walking or standing still
That was a really good deep dive! Thanks!!!
I adore Matthew Perry’s performance as Benny and I don’t care what anyone says🤷♂️
that translation/localisation discrimination was really underresearched, Austin.
The terms are different but you make it sound as though translation is not an inherent process of localising which is a broader term, and you also make it sound like one is inferior to the other. You might want to look up the term Equivalence which is more or less the product of what you have described as localisation. There is also word-for-word translation which is what you have dubbed translation, but there is also sense-for-sense translation as well. Neither is inherently better, mind you, as sense-for-sense usually sacrifices format for that message, useful for manuals or medical literature, not so much for belle-lettres. You may find more about multimedia transcreation and glocalisation on JoTrans, especially from Mangiron and O'Hagan
this guy translates
When I play old games like that I just don't turn the volume on and read the lines on the screen in my head
How hard would it have been to put a separate column and next to each line have you can indicate tone “sarcastic”
Pretty sure the two terms you're looking for is transliteration and translation. Transliteration is translating the words word-by-word. Translation conveys the idea of it.

I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream's voice acting is phenomenal.
A lot of old point and click adventure games had excellent voice acting.
Francis York Morgan was voiced perfectly.
Rosalina, in Super Mario Galaxy had a line in a cutscene right before the final boss fight and it was "Go, Mario" and it sounded like they forgot to have her record that specific line and caught her in the middle of a hallway and recorded it on a cell phone. Anyone know what I'm talking about?
I think the divide between linear games and open world games makes this even more complicated. Rumor says that the lines for Oblivion (2006) were recorded in alphabetical order. Obviously not actor friendly, but in a game with hundreds of NPCs and thousands of quests, how else do you even begin to organize everything? But look at a linear game from the same era, Resident Evil 4 (2005). Cheesy, sure, but you can't deny that the performers hit the mark they were aiming for. But that game had the advantage of being linear, and was probably in a much easier to read script.
This is part of what makes RDR2 and God of War from 2018 so impressive: RPG freedom with linear quality acting and writing. If we can look forward to quality like that in the future, even in the most open of games, I think we're in for some really special and immersive titles.
(Great video, BTW. Very decent of you to give these poor VAs some credit for the impossible task a lot of them were handed.)
