About Rousey's Vocal Performance...

[Samsara]

Honestly guys she doesnt have a lot of range. It's a clear step down from past performances of Sonya. I really don't know what they were thinking.

That's just my opinion, watch the vid and decide for youself.

It's as of she's merely speaking lines and less like she's acting. Every other actor seems to be hitting much farther than she is. She sounds thoroughly outclassed here.

 

[Jynks]

I haven't been o impressed with her acting either. It is crazy to em they would pass on known actors to get some "celebrity" voice. I mean... dose anyone give a shit about that? I find it unbelievable that having her in the project did anything but make it more expensive to produce.

 

[STB Sgt Reed]

Completely agree. It's one thing to model the character after her... but don't let people voice the characters when they aren't voice actors. It's noticeably bad.

I mean, I think people do give a shit. It impressed me as well, but I saw a lot of people (especially on reddit) who got hyped for Sonya exclusively because of Rousey.
I'm not into her voice acting either, but the publicity stunt worked imo

 

[FredoTwoWheels]

Publicity stunt. They have no other reason to hire her over an actor other than for promotion, she does about as well in the studio as a VO actor would do in the ring. I'm not really offended by it like some people are, but I think she could have done better. Poor coaching on the engineers end could be part of it, probably her first time in a vocal booth and it sounds more like lack of comfort and confidence to me than anything.

 

[usedcarsalesmang]

how smart do you expect a person who gets kicked in the head all day to be?

 

[ImperatrixSindel]

What they were thinking is publicity. I feel bad for Tricia Helfer, who was great in MKX.

 

[MKF30]

Honestly, I don't think she's that great but I mean what do you expect from a former UFC, MMA and WWE person.

 

[Samsara]

I can only imagine what MKX's VA for Sonya must have thought when they told he they were ditching her for Ronda.

Sonya sounded like a proper mix of tough, cranky, and serious (with a pinch of mom) in MKX. That's all gone now.

That's because they had an A list actress as her VA in MKX. Tricia Helfer from the likes of Battlestar Galactica and Mass Effect.

 

[MrWarMachine]

Tricia Helfer gave a similar uninspired performance if we’re being honest. She’s not the most emotional of characters

It wasn't the best, but it was miles better than rousey's... and that's the problem.

 

[xWildx]

Yeah.... after seeing it laid out like that? She has the same, exact cadence with every line she delivers.

Disappointing, but not altogether surprising.

 

[CallMeTetris]

ronda rousey did a poor job? perish the thought

 

[Xelz]

Some lines are “meh” and some are delivered well. At least none made me cringe. All in all, Ronda did better than I expected, but still noticeably underperforms the rest of the cast.

 

[stokedAF]

Seemed alright to me. Nothing outstanding but not terrible either. The basic voice fit her basic ass face lol. I thought the last Sonya was better though.

 

[Samsara]

Seemed alright to me.

Sound team must have felt the same way if this was greenlit. Its kind of embarrassing.

 

[Dankster Morgan]

Tricia Helfer was perfect as Sonya. Shit if MKX was based around real people, I’d think Sonya would look like her too

Lol it’s not THAT bad. Like the male voice actor in AC odyssey. That dude was cringe, I had to restart as the female.

 

[Jeremy KO]

Rousey's also a fucking Sandy Hook truther.

C.T.E....?

Rousey's also a fucking Sandy Hook truther.

Please don't mix memes like that. Sandy Hook DENIERS are imbeciles who have less honed critical thought processes than lemmings; while, 9-11 "truthers" (from whence the "truther" term stems), do have some grounds for their doubt of the 'official' narrative pertaining to said event.

Rousey's mother was teacher -- which seems incongruous. However, Twain did suggest that one's schooling should never interfere with one's education...

 

[Xelz]

Rousey's also a fucking Sandy Hook truther.

I was surprised WB/NRS picked Ronda for that reason. She brings publicity, but also PR risk.

 

[Zaccel]

I'm of two minds. I think the modelling and stuff was a fairly inspired idea, but having her as VA was probably going overboard.

Some lines work with her range, and Sonya herself looks great in my opinion, but overall it's safe to say Rousey ain't going to experience as smooth a transition to acting as some of her contemporaries.

 

[SaSSolino]

I've met a guy that said he's a Ronda fan and got interested in the game because of her voice work. It's a marketing stunt and it's annoying, but still better than having 4 guests.
