  • Hoyoverse has changed HuoHuo's English voice actor. It's no longer Courtney Lin, now it’s Megan Shipman. The reason for this could be due to the strike. It's sad that so many English voice actor changed in this month in Honkai: Star Rail.

    @kamicokrolock Місяць тому +267

    I was suspecting a contract issue with Argenti's VA, but now that we have a second VA replacement from the same patch, I'm almost convinced it's probably contract related. It's entirely possible that these 2 role were recorded in Beta as tests with the option to extend the VA's contracts later and one or the other party involved decided to just not renew. Which is why we had 2 patches of voiceless Argenti. Or it could be a plethora of other contract related issues. And usually if an actor can't record (say sick and has laryngitis) they often will get temporary recording from another VA that can imitate them and then replace later with the original VA. (hoyo did this for Diona's Hangout quest in Genshin. Xanglings VA stepped in until Dion's VA was available to record it.) So I wouldn't jump to nefarious conclusions.

      ​@@HazZzel- Because the issues are completely different, with Diona's VA they knew for a fact that she'll be able to revoice all the lines later, with a contract breach or a contract expire, they legally cannot use the VAs performances anymore, and they can't just get rid of the voices all together because Hoyo might not be sure the VAs will be returning, so they had to hire new VAs to do the voices, if the old VAs renew the contract and are able to go back, then the old lines will also be back, if they can't or won't, then I assume the new VAs are here to stay, it doesn't always have to be something shady

    I don’t think it’s because of the strike, because it usually takes time before these new voices are recorded/added to games. Most of the VA’s for these games, while not saying exactly when they were in the booth recording, tend to give a time frame of a few months/weeks. Strike started last week, but Argenti’s VA has essentially been missing from a few months of patches. To me that means they had decided a while ago to replace at least his VA (for whatever reason) and were likely auditioning/recording the new va’s in that time. Probably the same for Huohuo, we just didn’t know because her character hasn’t popped up in game since she first dropped/her event.

    • @MarieVoicesThings
      @MarieVoicesThings Місяць тому

      I highly doubt the recast had anything to do with the strike due to the timeframe. It takes (at minimum) weeks to recast an actor (this usually entails sending out more auditions to agents), schedule enough sessions to record all their lines, and then record, edit, and mix all that audio. Given that both affected characters were released in the same patch and and both affected actors seem to be under NDA but on good terms with Hoyo (as of now), I'd put my money on this being a contract/agency issue. There are many reasons an actor can potentially be recast that don't reflect poorly on them, like contract or agency issues, illness, maternity/paternity leave, family emergency, etc. TL;DR: It is highly unlikely the recasts were the fault of the affected actors or for any negative reason, I will miss their performances greatly, but changing your game's language purely because of this doesn't really make any sense.

It breaks my immersion and thus makes the game feel bad. Also, where did I say it was the fault of the affected actors?

    I feel bad that they're replacing the VAs like they are, but I am happy that they were able to find people who sounded extremely similar to the original voices.
    I do hope that those who have been replaced (replaced for normal things, not like the one dude who abused people or something) are able to either come back to their roles later, or are able to voice another character in the game. Feels a bit shitty that they brought the character to life and were then replaced.

      Since both affected characters were released in the same patch and neither actor seems to be able to give any details but seem to be on good terms with Hoyo still, it's almost certain this was contract related and not due to anything negative on their part.

    They sound the exact fuckin same so there's hardly a difference. Ppl tweaking for being upset and saying "old one was better". Star Rail dev team really be a mess of its own rn

      @@keneunaegbu851ong I myself don’t own the characters but have played against the Argenti boss and has used my friend’s Argenti and Huohuo as support and immediately felt the difference in tone.

    Her old voice is so nostalgic. I started playing HSR only to get Huohuo (that I actually got).

    the same VA for Lucy in ZZZ also got changed so it might be related to what had happened for HuoHuo. And Soukaku as well
