Ok, what the $#%$ is up with this woman speaking so fast during the briefing(s) that she would give John_Moschitta_Jr. a good run for his money??? :eek2: :eek2: :eek2:

(And no, I haven't played Blue Planet yet. I'm saving that for after I finish Exile: ItDW.)

She had tons and tons of lines to record and rushed those.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind if that kind of speed was more standard. I mean, it is probably faster than is reasonable, but I tend to find that voice acting errs far too much on the side of slowness -- and it often gets irritating when there are subtitles involved, because then I've read the line five times by the time the VA finishes.

Besides, she's giving a briefing for an upcoming combat mission. Not exactly a case where you have a lot of time on your hands.

Well, there's speaking fast to save time, but this is bordering on (or even past) speaking almost too fast to be understood. It's pretty jarring to me. I for one don't mind it if a VA speaks slower than I read subtitles. If she speaks faster than I read subtitles, then it distracts me and divides my attention.

Given the constraints we had to work with, the sheer size of her role, and the cost of getting retakes, this was the best we could do. 90% of her lines are great, the briefings are too fast but we simply didn't have the labor or money available to get redos.

Duly noted. Voice acting for Freespace mods seems (to me, anyway) a luxury, so it's always appreciated whenever it appears. I deliberately haven't played Blue Planet yet as I want to savor it properly after playing the other Freespace mods. I'm trying to save the best for last, as it were.  :cool:

But you probably won't understand some jokes if you play it earlier.

That's possible too but the JAD audience isn't that big, sadly.

Sure, but the market for JAD isn't that big either.

Aren't JAD's jokes from several anime shows, though, and their tropes?

That too. JADs target audience is like
=>People who played FS
=>People who played FS and many FS mods
=>People who played FS and many FS mods who are part of HLP for a long time
=>People who played FS and many FS mods who are part of HLP for a long time who also like anime
=>People who played FS and many FS mods who are part of HLP for a long time who also like anime and watched the same shows as Axem
