As always, you can check the description to learn more about the VA. I recommend doing so. Specter Alter is also all finished and will he up in half an Hour since y'all dominated the like goal on Lumen! :)
I love how committed Lizzie is to keeping that Iberian accent up throughout her performance! Might be my favorite of this update. Gives me some hope for EN Thorns.
The accent doesn't sound bad but it sounds more like a russian accent in my opinion. If you want to know what a spanish accent sounds like you can check Javier Bardem or Penelope Cruz in pirates of the caribean or search the Spanish who were represented in the fourth film.
Wait till we get something like the Italian voices but with Spanish (I really want that, HG pls) I'd find that hilarious, specially since I'm latin american lol
@@FamastChannel Nah bruh, as a native speaker I say she sounds as Spanish as it can get. Maybe you feel that way because of soome similarities between the accents, like the Rs and the more closed vowels.
probably the en dub I like the most. The accent is just *chef's kiss*, and the pitch and tone are quite similar to the original without feeling forced like with other operators. The emotions are also on point for the most part. Any criticisms I may have are just a few nitpicks here and there.
This is actually so good, arguably the best en voice so far. Her voice sounds young but not childish, and full of determination, which is just perfect.
Her battle lines feel like the Unlimited Blade works monologue. "My light will purge the ice My blade will cleave the tide My eyes will see the truth My heart... Will be the judge As I pray, unlimited blade works"
I know this is an analogue of Spanish English, but me being from PH (which was once a colony of Spain), this is how we sound like in English if we didn't try neutralizing our accents.
I like it better than the JP version. No offense, but she sounds like a child. Besides, Lizzie went well adding a spanish accent to the voice since Irene is Iberian after all
Anime characters who have petite body frames generally have high-pitched voices. Which is why they hired Kugimiya Rie, one of the most prominent loli VAs to voice her
The EN voices have been a welcome change for me because it's what kept me playing AK. The amount of care and love into not only making it sound good, but to correspond to the operators origin inspiration, really wowed me. Yes, some are a miss (looking at you, Lava) but majority of them are all so good. Can't wait to see, and hear, the new batches of EN voices coming up (God, imagine what Saga accent is...)
I'm surprised they went with a Spanish accent for her considering they couldn't even commit to British accents with all their Victorian characters. Only Horn and Heidi have the accent. And they didn't even give Blacknight an Aussie accent. Wonder what other regions they'll give an accent
I like Rie Kugimiya but I always thought of her as the gf from I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying anime... which meant that hearing her voicing Irene was weird. So I prefer Lizzie because she fits the grim setting more. They're both excellent voice actors but a Spanish Inquisitor sounding, well, Spanish, is more fitting.
I've been playing Farcry 6 recently and Forgot Iberia is basically spain... Picture my shock when Irene Had the same Accent as Dani Rojas. I like it tho. Fitting.
I like this better than the JP ver. Not much a fan of high-pitched loli voice. The accent really on point. Also I just realized Aegir here is pronounced as ayy-grr, not Ae-gear.
@@Kounnah Yeah - during Invitation to Wine, Kroos runs into Blacknight and they end up speaking "Rim Billitonese" to one another. It's written just like Australian (Victorian?) English w/ slang, but if I remember correctly (could be wrong here) other characters found it difficult to understand. Tl;dr WHERE IS MY AUSTRALIAN DUB KROOS?
Came here cause a friend asked me if it sounded Spanish (Fun fact: I'm from Spain). For anyone interested, overall it feels like a forced accent. Some parts of her lines are actually pretty good, and I'd dare say impeccable, but you don't need to pay too much attention to see how she pronounces some words and letters in a way that, compared to your average Spaniard, doesn't sound like a full Spanish accent. The most notable one, for example, is the way she rolls her "R"s (Usually Spanish people try to pronounce them the English way, but due to it being kinda difficult for them it ends up sounding kinda odd). Hers are rolled to the point where it starts sounding Russian (or maybe even Caribbean? Unsure about this second one, but it definitely reminds me of how Jack Sparrow pronounces them), while a Spaniard would probably sound like a more rough English "R", as if they were struggling to pronounce it (which they usually are lmao). Tldr: Sounds kinda forced, but I'd give it the pass. Edit: Saw someone in the comments saying this, so I'll repeat it as well. Good examples to know how Spanish accent sounds while speaking English are Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem 👍
I'm also of Spanish origin(being Mexican, but my native language was English). I too noticed the small oddities you pointed out, but because of my complicated "history" I figured I may end up getting some things wrong. So it's really cool to see this analysis from someone who can provide one that's more accurate. I like this comment, thank you for your word on this!
@@MINNOWBER I'd say it's average-sized, but most anime girls got the Hime Cut™ or her bangs are well bellow the eyebrows, so no forehead is actually visible, which in turn makes Irene's bangs massively shorter in comparison and thus making it seem like she got a beeg forehead.
I feel like I'm the only Person in the World who really hates Irene's English Voice. I think it doesn't fit her at all....yet everywhere I go, I just see Praise.... (Nothing against the VA ofc.)
On the contrary, lots of people actually don't really like Irene's JP voice because it makes her sound "way too young" due to the fact that her Japanese VA is known for voicing lolis. I, along with the lot you mentioned really praise this voice because it's one of the few that gives the Operator an accent based on their native region, in this case, Iberia(which I heard is based on Spain). Not to mention, Lizzie Waterworth is a very experienced VA. But I get that some people may not like it. I know about 2 others on discord that didn't like it either which is ok.
I'm with the people who really dislike her JP voice as well, and as a huge fan of Irene since under tides I was waiting to see if they would make her an operator. I was REALLY excited about her finally getting to become a playable operator, but I was really let down to hear the voice they picked because it doesn't fit what I imagined in Under Tides at all, she's not the type of character that should sound so "cute" and young, and that's not to say she isn't those things but she's a very serious, mature, and determined woman of the inquisition and always gave me the feeling she'd sound mature and have more presence despite her size. So imagine my surprise when the English dub (that I also never expected to exist in the first place) actually surpassed my expectations and went all out with giving her an accent to match her background and lineage AND made her sound more mature and cool like I had imagined. Genuinely super happy with how it was handled!

she sounds like a spanish speaking English and I love that accent so much
Loving her accent! Really adds a splash of immersion and depth to her character
Agreed! Upon learning how experienced her VA is, I had high hopes and was NOT dissapointed at all! Honestly a hard pick between her and Specter
@@BasementSkeleton97 she was actully a baffta winner so yeah scratch another high profile va and work as masterpiece
When operators speak with their native accents it makes me oddly happy, heres hoping for Bagpipe next on the line
Scottish Bagpipe or bust.
@@dindapriska I can only dream that they give Bagpipe the thickest, most incomprehensible Scottish accent possible.
I've got a question for ya, which is heavier, a kilogramme of potatoes or a kilogramme of feathers
@@minty958 I demand a Scottish Gaelic version of Bagpipe
My guess: She will sound like Merida

@@kyarumomochi5146 woah, this clown again
@@kyarumomochi5146 which one?
@@kyarumomochi5146 i respect your opinion, i usually like the jp voices more too but some like Irene i prefer the en
Siege en is one of my favorites
*BOOM* "NOBODY EXPECTS THE IBERIAN INQUISITION!"
Holy shit.
I'm in love with her accent.
Now I don't know if I should go for Lizzie or Rie Kugimiya's voice
Same! I love Rie voice but damn the accent is pulling innn
Now bagpipe with ✨Scottish accent✨
Bagpipe: *unintelligible Scottish*
Horn: "Victorian, Bagpipe"
Bagpipe: "Sorry"
RUSSIAN GUMMY
JAPANESE MIZUKI
wait a minute
Bagpipe’s voice: An impression of Merida
@f.b.lagent1113 what you think of gummy's?
This is actually so good, arguably the best en voice so far. Her voice sounds young but not childish, and full of determination, which is just perfect.

"My light will purge the ice

vice, not ice, as in evil

Wtf we have same braincells
I like when VAs being creative with their voicework,very appreciated!
@Agil Ramadhan sammmee idk what to use
What's differences between American Accent and Spanish Accent?
Waiting for the indra dub so I can hear the THICKEST Cockney accent that can possibly be conceived by a human being.
BOY do I have good news for you!
Indra is getting an English voice in the next update coming in 2 days.
@@BasementSkeleton97 👀👀👀👀👀👀

I hope thorns also have this kinda of accent
goddamn it, i am in love with her EN voice now
love the spanish accent laced into her voice! kudos to the VA!!!!

Yup, caught me off guard when GG sounded so American rather than British.
@@floofflez1134 You can notice GG's accent when you finish a battle.
@@jkvz7184 Yep, but she sounded more American than British
Thank you for these english voice vids, im so glad there are some ppl who would record EN voices, but not many ppl record CN voice😢
She sounds like my mom........when she talk to English speakers
Irene is so cute, she's trying so hard.

So I prefer Lizzie because she fits the grim setting more. They're both excellent voice actors but a Spanish Inquisitor sounding, well, Spanish, is more fitting.

Fukin beautiful accent
My name is Irene yo 🤨 I'm a guard with swordmaster archetype yo 🤨 Ah huh 🤨 Now tell me where's the seaborn 🤨

El Dokutah protects.
Besmirch the birb, and you get Exterminatus.
Irene sounds like a Filipino speaking English without neutralizing the accent. The Hispanic accent is quite the touch here.
That little poem at her combat voicelines won my heart
Now I'm curious about Lumen
I covered Lumen too, you can find it in my latest uploads
As a Latino, I 😨 the Iberian(Spanish) Inquisition
Anyone else think she sounds like Sypha from Castlevania?
I thought she sounded familiar
her voice!!!! ambatukam~
It's.... So good???
what I've learned from this
How to pronounce Aegir
I like spanish accents
Now, if only they would go back and change the voices for other units so their accents match their region. I'm looking at you, Rim Billiton.
They're supposed to be Australians right?
@@Kounnah Yeah - during Invitation to Wine, Kroos runs into Blacknight and they end up speaking "Rim Billitonese" to one another. It's written just like Australian (Victorian?) English w/ slang, but if I remember correctly (could be wrong here) other characters found it difficult to understand.
Tl;dr WHERE IS MY AUSTRALIAN DUB KROOS?
@@minty958 JP Kroos: Kokodayo
Aussie Kroos: I'm right here ya cunts
They are already very fitting though. I don't think they need changing. Maybe only Lava because she sounds too much of a punk
HOLY TOLEDO YES
The accent is so good
literally the second time in my life when the dub is better than og voice lol
