Mod Request: Normal Sirona voice

[Behelit]

Breaks all immersion. Has lower voice that the goblin. Processed too (pitched down, sounds terrible). It breaks all immersion. Fun game, but to make it more fun I want to get rid of the woke subtext.

Hook me up

She should be a babe and I'm being 100% serious. A trans person goes through absolute hell to change gender. Surgery, depression, pain. If they were in her position, they'd cast a full transformation spell in a heartbeat. Don't know how? Muggle? She'd ask one of the teenagers in Hogwarts. I guarantee they all know how to do it.

How would that work though? Are you willing to donate money to some studio that can hire a professional actor to record new voicelines? Or are you fine with any fan-made voiceover?

Voice overs are great, but I imagine they cost a lot of work and effort.
Re pitching the voice seems to be the most practical (temporary) solution. I don't know what other people can come up with tho.

[Azzurra]

in the french version she has a "normal" voice lol

Though, it would've probably been better if they used a drag-queen voice.
They probably did it to make it obvious.
Blair White has a female sounding voice and she's a transgender.
(looks female, so referred to as female)

That's sort of what makes the whole thing feel so weird. It's like they made a female character model that would be indistinguishable from any other, then at some point said, "Oh shot, but they won't KNOW Sirona is transgender!" and then tossed in an out-of-place voice that was possibly pitched down, which should in itself be sort of offensive ("Transgender women have low, masculine voices!").

You guys are stuck in the past, lol.
There is zero need for voice actors anymore, AI replicates voices perfectly now. Theres "Emma Watson" reading the entirety of Mein Kampf out there and it sounds exactly like her.
Its trivial to change the voice now as long as you can actually access the files.

Damn... point made lol.
Hope someone who knows their way around AI can cook up something nice to replace these files.

Hits the spot.
Can be done well, just did a bad job.

the voices are all over the place XD

That voice on that character model is just WRONG. It’s SO immersion breaking, and completely ruined my play session. The quicker they can get rid of this, the better.
Either give Sir Ryan a male character model or give the character their ORIGINAL female voice (because we all know that guy voice was just slapped on last minute).

aye, if I hear the pronunciation it's deffo pitched down / slowed down too in English. Pitching it up might actually repair it / restore it. It sounds slurred now too. Bad bad job.

must be hard for some idiots to just accept trans people.

They preferred to be called the gender that they're changing to; so male or female.

Funny thing is that in other languages they voiced it with female voice

[Rapthorne Lightweaver]

Wouldn't be too hard to pitch modulate the existing voice to sound female, if it bothers you that much

Fun fact is that Sirona has only a male voice when playing in english, I play in french and SIrona has a perfectly normal feminine voice in that language =P

Can't believe how on the nose this pandering is to the fringe woke nutjobs we have in the US/UK.
