β€” [note: i wrote this during the rrg2 event so this explains my a/n following this note] i'm a sucker for good voices so here's me expanding on my thoughts on the tot mls' voices (especially since i had to change artem's language setting from japanese (due to the current covid situation in japan, some of his lines from the rrg2 event are not recorded in time. in addition, his va [suwabe junichi] was confirmed to have gotten covid) to korean) and man, hearing λ‹Ήμ‹  instead of 君(は) is really quite a change :")
Tumblr media
β€” artem wing
simplified chinese: tbh my personal favourite out of his 4 voices HAHAHAH also pls idk why i keep thinking of that one scene he sang chinese opera music HAHAHAHAH. the register is somewhere in the middle which was just right (perfectly balanced, as it should be). sounds a bit calm when he argues with mc in 'atmospherics' (like DUDE JUST GET MAD it sounds like i'm listening to an android omg) but he got a little condescending at the end so he still passes the vibe check!
traditional chinese: a little bit deeper than the scn dub but it's still pretty good nonetheless! very comforting, 10/10 would want to hear this kind of voice to cheer me up on a bad day.
japanese: someone said his japanese dub sounds like an old man and i cannot unhear it ever since 😭 whoever spoiled artem's japanese dub for me... i hope you won't draw an ssr anytime soon. n e ways yes i feel like the japanese dub is well-suited for the "superior at work" setting and also ticks the checkbox of "shy virgin at relationships falls in love". also has a very comforting vibe! definitely sounded annoyed(?) and mad when he argued with mc in 'atmospherics' and his va did a good job!
korean: his korean dub gives me highkey polite sunbae vibes (and i wonder why...) and the very shy but still concerned guy who would give the fl his jacket because it's too cold (100% gentleman vibes tbh). ALSO gives me borderline jumin vibes???? maybe it's just me HAHAHAHA. sounds a little too calm when he argues with mc in 'atmospherics' and kinda embodies 'the calm before the storm' vibe (but the thing is: the storm never comes).
β€” vyn richter
simplified chinese: the gentleman element in his character shines the best in his scn dub!! nails the whole royalty vibe very well imo! also very asmr-able, and would be the best morning voice to wake up to omg. it's also comforting in a way that how a dad would walk his child through what the kid's done wrong and why it's wrong, and explain why the kid should apologise first.
traditional chinese: a little nasal and higher pitched than expected, which in my book doesn't tally with his overall persona, so his tcn dub is not really a favourite of mine. his va still did a good job though!
japanese: whoever casted his japanese va... you're doing god's work. very well paired and i approve πŸ‘ his japanese dub is also comforting but in a different way from artem's (i have zero idea how to explain this properly and hopefully you get the gist of it AAA) and suits the whole psychiatrist vibe.
korean: it's a little deeper than i'd expected and if you could combine voices, he sounds like jumin and zen put together. very calming and would oddly make for a good kidnapper voice (HEAR ME OUT FIRST: yk how in kidnapping scenes, the victim is blindfolded and the kidnapper is talking really calmly about the possible things he could do to the victim? YEAH THAT) and also gives me boyfriend vibes (idk it's especially so in his 'a star in the night' ssr).
β€” luke pearce
simplified chinese: v cheerful and matches his sunny disposition very well! also a very asmr-able voice HAHAHAHA (flashback to the sotn pv). angry luke in scn sounds so exasperated LMAO his vibe is like "i've been gone for 8 years and i can't believe you don't tell me things that i've missed during those years"
traditional chinese: has that bright undertone like his scn dub. angry luke in tcn sounds very worried which was fitting for the context of his personal story ig???
japanese: he exudes this unexplainable confidence in the japanese dub! also i am scared of angry luke in japanese the most. i wld most likely start yelling back at japanese dub luke tbh, even if he yells tatakae at me. angry japanese luke is the most intimidating out of the other dubs, would not recommend to piss off.
korean: his korean dub gives me soft boy vibes?? yk how some male leads in krdramas speak very gently to a girl they like? yeah that. also angry luke in korean sounds like the very concerned oppa you see in kdramas when the fl nearly gets into trouble but the ml manages to save her.
β€” marius von hagen
simplified chinese: SOMEONE CALL THE HORNY DEPARTMENT BC HIS SCN DUB MAKES ME WANNA DRENCH MYSELF IN A BATHTUB OF HOLY WATER (especially his 2021 halloween mr HOLY SHIT i swear his scn dub va knows what he's doing). very sexc for no reason (other than quenching the insatiable horny jiejie thirst of the marius stans) and also has those childish and confident elements you'd expect from reading his dialogue.
traditional chinese: similar to scn but it's higher pitched. still pretty good, no complaints here!
japanese: since i'm a japanese dub user, i'm very used to hearing the japanese dub, but i think it fits his character very well! his va nailed the childishness and confidence you'd expect from reading his dialogues.
korean: he gives me yoosung vibes in the korean dub and idk why???? he sounds like the very respectful dongsaeng who would listen to you and also remind you he's always got your back??? the childishness element is not very strong in his korean dub which kinda tones down his whole persona imo
