I can't blame the Japanese and others looking at AI voice acting a lot harder as an alternative, at least for anything in the English language.
The only time I really hear something bad with Japanese VAs is they cheated, sexual crimes, mental breaks, health issues etc rather than they are demanding a black girl voice the tanned gyaru.
I think he's letting absolute hatred for a person seep into his judgment for talent. She's good at acting, but goddamn, she's fucking crazy and evil. Does she even get new roles anymore? The last "new"-ish thing I've heard her in was one of the PSO2NGS operator girls (who barely has any lines at all).
Never played any BlazBlue game, really. That's because I'm terrible at fighting games, and have been for over 30 years.
And besides, how much of this is due to the director?
There used to be a dub director named Steven Foster who would get awful performances out of his actors, because he simply did not care about his job, at all--and that made the actors stop trying, too. He's been blacklisted from the business for this reason...yet people will still sing his praises, because he was the guy who directed the dub of Ghost Stories.
If you want to see how bad a Steven Foster dub can really get, check out Penguindrum, Medaka Box, and Guin Saga.
If you want a GREAT dub director, you go to one man: Alex von David. He did Madoka Magica and Kill la Kill, among many others. John Swasey is also a very good choice.
Probably the most asked question at voiceover panels- "how do I get started as a voice actor?"
Don't fucking bother. In their endless quest to be perfectly progressive, they're going to make it impossible for you to get roles because of your skin color alone. They will ruthlessly stab you in the back the moment you get a role they decide you shouldn't have because ethnicities. They've done this at least twice. Fuck these people.
In a shocking twist, every single one of the "industry colleagues" mentioned in this article is a tranny. Seriously, check out their Twitter bios. This is a coordinated attack from jealous genderspecial blobs with zero talent. Absolute crab bucket moment.
The fact that she immediately dropped to her knees and began to grovel is, somehow, even more pathetic than the reeing trannies.
Had no idea what Dislyte was going in until I hit:
Chinese gacha game
So no sympathy here for working with the double devil, China and gacha trash.
But it does add another layer to all her industry "colleagues" stirring up trouble just coincidentally working on other gacha games like Genshin impact. VAs are 80% scum, but gacha game creators are 100% scum and I don't doubt for a second that damaging a competitor's reputation wasn't a partial motivation for trying to destroy this lady.
She was also voicing Yuuhime which is a Japanese character. Why isnt this an issue but her voicing the Egyptian character is an issue? Well so called Egyptian character, i dont know why a Chinese game decided to make an Egyptian character look more like a sub-Saharan African with the afros, instead of North African
Voice acting is a tight group. Its always the same group of people getting gigs. It was fine for a while because some voices are very iconic and recognizable. Voice actor for mcree from overwatch and that one male char from monster hunter.
But now.. it might morph into some tranny faggot racism shit.

Yeah, it's sad there's not a lot of the godly dubs like that of FMA Brotherhood, Black Lagoon or even the full on taking the piss of Ghost stories
The closest we got recently was the VA for Carol from Tomo-chan and that's godly because she did Japanese AND English dub for the character.
Oh come on, you gotta mention Cromartie High
MAN YOU REALLY ARE A SON OF A BITCH, YOU KNOW THAT?
Is that... Is that someone's real name? Surely not...
Edit: Oh I see, it's a typo and you added to it. Sorry, sleep-deprived, lol...
*Christina Vee, I assume, is her name?
How is Cristina Valenzuela amateur hour? She sounds great to me, especially in Vivy.

Agree to disagree. For the love of God, do not make me defend her.
Crazy and evil? How so?
And yes, she does. In fact, she's the director for Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp.

The sooner we replace actors, artists and prostitutes with robots, the better.
