I don't like Audrey's tone of English voice being lighter.

They either got someone new to reprise her voice. (Due to the current voice actor strike.)
Which their take on the character or what they're being told how to take the lines.
Is a bit too light and sweeter in tone.

I'm just used to Audrey's passive aggressive British noble lady voice that I don't mind due to her being the machine gun lady and sometimes goes full SCOTTISH ANGUISH (I can still hear the bagpipes) when firing her grenade launcher.
The change is bit of a whiplash. Just wished I knew who exactly voices our characters for the English version. Cause I ain't going to change to Japanese due to it'll just make me more confused when character's are doing call outs.

Either that or they're testing an AI to see if it'll work or not.
I hope the latter isn't true otherwise it'll leave a soured mark in the back of my head.

Any information about what the explanation would be greatly be appreciated.
Cause I'm starting to sympathize with the Kokona fans a month back when her voice changed as well. (I vaguely recall it being just for her Legendary but I could be wrong.)

Comment what you guys think of the change of it being good, bad, neutral or mixed?

IIRC it was confirmed it is the same voice actor, they just told her to change the direction thus Audrey sounds like that.

Personally, a change in voice in a character is one of my biggest pet peeves. I HATE when a character’s voice changes, and this is no exception. Especially when the reason is not even enforced such as this case.

To me, a voice is part of the character just as much as their looks and personality. So having it suddenly change just feels wrong, and like someone else not quite who I know.

She sounds like she is in a hurry to record her new voice acting

Well now I feel like a jerk.
Didn't realize that the same VA just rehearse the same lines but in a different direction.
Just wished the people that told her to reprise the lines had some sort of poll and different takes of lines for us to pick which one sounds better.

Could be just me but again. I still don't like the new voice direction because like you typed before. A new voice or direction of the voice that was already established for a character before could change how the character is perceived to the audience that was used to the old one and new players establishing it for the first time in the future.

Thanks for the info.

I think her old tone fits her a lot better.
