" How cruel to a broken heart like mine. "

[notebooks-and-laptops]

People do not talk enough about how amazing Lae'zels voice acting is. Devora Wilde put her whole ass pussy into some of those lines but nobody pays attention and calls laezel one note and angry. But have you listened? Have you heard her voice shake as she cries "what good - this heart of stone - for it to be shattered?" Have you heard the conviction where she declares that Vlaketh has sinned against her? Have you listened to the fear in her voice, the slight tremble when she is talking of becoming a mindflayer and the way that she has utter awe in her tones when she experiences something that is truly spiritual to her? Like. It's such a subtle and great performance.

I know it's such a small detail, but one tiny thing i appreciated from Veilguard is that Asian characters (Bellara and Taash, yes Taash is asian to me, fight me) are voiced by Asian actors. Bellara is voiced by an Asian actress (Jee Young Han). And for her brother, Cyrian, who plays such a minor role in the series, the studio could have easily casted any actor. Or recast an already contracted actor and put a different voice for Cyrian. But Cyrian was given to a small asian actor (Tim Chiou).

Also Taash's VA is of Asian too (Jin Maley is mixed, with their name being Jin which I think they are half-japanese with their appearance) and Taash's mother, Shathann, is voiced by an Sumalee Montano, who is filipino and one of the very few prolifiic voice actors of the last decade or two who is of asian descent.

Like, it's such small thing. But for me, it's deeply meaningful. I knew a few older asian actors who want to work in western productions just can't because of typecasts and lack of roles created for them. Not to mention the cruel history of using white actors to slant their eyes and play caricatures of asian people in early western visual media. The only roles those asian actors i knew got, was our own community making them. For us. Or going back to east asia to get roles (which is its own host of problems there).

So for Veilguard to put that bit of extra effort to hire asian actors to do big leads down to minor roles, especially with our faces, is so important. Western entertainment industries across the US, Australia and Europe are still very slow in hiring us asians consistently. But for just for one game, the devs decided to hire asians from all acting experiences to bring life to these characters.

And I just. Appreciate that a lot.

What's happening with Theo Solomon is so, so frustrating and needless and disgusting (more info can be found at this post), and I also want to acknowledge the treatment of Wyll's original voice/mo-cap actor, Lanre Malaolu.

Malaolu gave an excellent performance! His delivery and the way he incorporated mannerisms and posture into Wyll's physicality was amazing. The original characterization of Wyll was written very well and matched the general tone of the wider party/narrative.

And to suddenly have Larian, years into the project, rewrite the character entirely and then re-cast it? To have other actors talk about how Wyll just 'wasn't working' as a character? All because of fan criticism that places ridiculous (and often contradictory) standards and expectations on black characters. Even if the re-cast resulted from scheduling conflicts (as Malaolu couldn't come in to re-record), we lost Malaolu's entire performance because of a rewrite that was simply not necessary.

And after disregarding Malaolu's years of work into this character, the same criticisms that Larian caved into are thrown at Wyll's rewrite, and the same disregard is being seen with Theo Solomon again and again. As someone who started playing early access when it first came out, fans' treatment of Wyll and his actors hasn't gotten better. It's actively gotten worse.

I think a lot about Leo’s tendency to push his way into the spotlight despite clearly being a natural in the shadows. Hell, you could argue that his worst moments are when he’s forcing himself onstage, and his best are when he does things no one notices until it’s already been done.
