Ann Burton

[RFM9]

I think they should replace Ann burton's voice actor. The voice is fine, even nice, but it's clear she cannot act and disengages the players immersion from the story. Anybody agree or disagree here?

I don't remember taking issue with it, but Ann has such a minor role in the game, who would remember?

She's one of the best here. Susan\s speech is much more "wrong", cause we, russian users kinda notice that there are many sentences which sound like questions (end of reply), though they are not questions, only confirms, notices,,, etc...

And Ann comparing with susan is SUPERB acror)))

Sorry, but why would Russians notice English inflection better than a native speaker? Is it because you're listening to the overall tone more than the words?

Who did she voice?

I agree, it's an accent feature I sometimes find a little irritating (both in games and when speaking to folks). That's just my personal gripe though.

That said, I can totally understand if non-native speakers might find the intonation a bit 'wrong' because the usual function of the inflection is essentially redundant.

Nowt queer as folks, eh!

It's called Upspeak, and it's not uncommon, especially not for women:

Ok, hope that's what makes Susan herself like a person with some unconfidence through her whole life (maybe)... a bit overreacting from voice acting is still possible though, IMO.

However, besides that everything is perfect and i can't agree with:

From what I see and hear, Ann is by far one of the few characters that sound like normal people we meet in everyday life. The other one is the ugly bald man who hates cats.


"Best Voice Acting" in AGS-2012 was given to Cat Lady by all the rights to actually have it, especially since most AGS-games don't have any voice at all

Still not sure what your point is.

That addict in the hospital? Can't tell I remember her in any particular good or bad way.

I think Lynsey Frost did a BEAUTIFUL job with the main part! ^_^ I almost fell in love with her voice and acting; that's how good a job she's done for me.
