The hell? Newgrounds voiceactors?!

I thought the VA was good....but what kind of made me groan was when I learned about Newgrounds Voice-actors being in the game.

Mostly because among them were over-used voice actors like Rina-Chan (who essentially does any/all female voices in ANY flash movie on Newgrounds...which gets really freaking old) and Kirbopher.


Personally, I feel that newgrounds is kind of a cess-pool nowadays. But that's just my opinion.

Don't get me wrong. For the most part, the VA was fantastic. I'm just bothered that people from newgrounds were brought into the mix.


Does anyone else feel the same?

I'm curious as to why it matters so much where the voice actors originated from, if you enjoyed the majority of the game's voice work regardless.

Every single actor in the game has done voices for flash cartoons or games on Newgrounds at one point or another. Many of these same actors, including Kira "Rina-chan" Buckland and Chris "Kirbopher" Niosi, have gone on to be prominently featured in TV shows, commercials and other video games. Niosi's role in Dust, however, is just a 2-line cameo, so I'm surprised that you would mention him in particular.

Still my opinion if I'm not fond of over-used voice actors of bloody flash cartoons.

Right... and my point being that every actor in the game started out in flash cartoons. It's become very common among younger professionals. I'm just confused as to why you're only holding that against a select few actors -- one of whom is literally only in the game for 5 seconds.

Still my opinion if I dislike people from Newgrounds. I was only pointing out a few as an example.

Don't read about peoples' backgrounds and then you will no longer judge a work based on previous unrelated works.

I don't know Newsgrounds nor do I care. You yourself are praising the voice acting as is. It shouldn't concern you then whatever they should have done previously at whatever time and quality. It's what they did in Dust alone that should matter to Dust.

Try to see it positively: They may have started with bad stuff (or so you seem to rate it), isn't it great that they do a good job when it really matters, then? It shows that they have skill. Or so I guess. It's not like I had been doing voice acting myself ever.

And somewhere they all have to start. Would it be better to look for totally new people who had never been doing any of this at any point before? Who knows what have might come of that.
