I don't imply racism, just that its stupid to make a black woman and then not have her voiced accurately. There's plenty of black females around looking for voice acting jobs. Why go with Laura bailey who could get anything in her sleep?
I guess they wanted her to sound Australian & not ghetto.
 
You can't expect a black person to voice act a black person. It's voice, nothing else. You people acting like a "black voice" is genetic or something.
 
I mean I like Laura Bailey as much as the next person but they really didn't have no black voice actresses huh

Maybe she couldn't do an South African accent. I think Merle is still in it though as she was pictured doing mo cap.

Guys stop quoting that idiotic post.

Neat trailer. But I feel like we already knew she was a character. Like she was in some art or something.

Come on bro, when Kratos is voiced by a black guy, I don't think it matters TOO much
 
Laura Bailey voicing a black woman...wut.

Why could you not get a black woman to voice her?
Yeah uh wtf.

Kratos' skin is dyed and as an Ancient Greek he would probably have had very dark skin. Also giving minorities roles in an industry that they're under represented in is not really a crime compared to giving a non-minority a minority role.

I need to see this without the vid compression.. it's awful.. even the better youtube link. Excellent cinematography though!

The lip syncing looked wonky as hell. Very uncanny with those hyper realistic models.

I thoughy ND mastered facial motion capture with TLOU. What happened here? i just hope it is a delay with the stream.

Don't worry, I'll vouch for them.
looking good and i see the thread already gone crazy .
It's a VA job you get the person that is the best fit for your character .

It isn't just a VA job though, it is an acting gig on top of that with all the motion capturing that happens.

GOW isn't even trying to go for reality based greek interpretations.

Even if she is South Australian black and not African American, it could not have been too hard to find someone to accurately represent the role. Naughty Dog did decently well in this area for TLOU.
