The Hint Of Regret On Her Face At The Last Second Literally Makes Me So Fucking Sick Studio Investigraves

people are saying his accent sounds russian??? he does NOT sound russian. i can't say much on it but it's not 'stereotypical' american/canadian,, pls elaborate on the transatlantic accent?

ANON I LOVE YOU gladly!

Russian is one of many guesses I've seen. I've also seen French, German and British. The reason people can't pin point or agree on what accent he has is because it isn't an accent from any particular place. It's not even a real accent, really. It's a transatlantic accent, a learned accent taught to entertainment personalities during the 1930s and 40s which has very much died out nowadays. He sounds old fashioned, because he's definitely meant to.

It's like a mix between an American and British accent. Apparently, Directors of the past favoured this accent as it was neutral and so you could use it in films that weren't specific to one setting, but it was also seen as a more sophisticated accent overall and held high prestige and became the standard accent in American Film, Radio and TV. Frustratingly, there isn't a great deal of information on the accent, but if you've ever watched an old black and white film then you'll definitely have heard it.

Another theory is that filmmakers were trying to create a way of speaking that could be understood clearly across multiple different English speaking countries since talkies were a new form of media, hence the merging of an American and a British accent together into one. A different potential reason for it's existence and use in media is that the enunciating of vowels made the voices of entertainment personalities easier to understand over old TV, Radios and Film who didn't have entirely clear sound at the time, plus it's non geographical placement makes the accent good for characters that aren't from a specific area such as angels or the voice of God or aliens.

In a nutshell, it's an accent created for entertainment personalities and was taught in affluent schools and Hollywood Film Studios, and that's why he speaks with it, and why he sounds like he's from the 40s or 50s. He's meant to sound that way, it's a conscious choice.

saw the labru trend and IMMEDIATELY thought of them

Dtiys i did on twt

so far the renovation event has revealed the void archives has:

- rebuilt this old ass bartender robot. - given it their voice and smug ass intonation. - ruined its food menu. - instructed it to make horrible jokes? given it the ability to teach itself horrible jokes? - taught it jokes about murder. - accidentally imparted a few of his own insecurities about "what you're made for" on to it. - named it after an incident when he got chased out.

i will never not find it funny to point out that the slut from second eruption and the kind old man on the astral express are pretty much the same person, with the exception that welt is significantly less burdened while traveling with the express (doesn't say much though). but mainly also bc i went through the experience of playing hsr and going "oh he's pretty calm and collected!" to getting into hi3 and going "oh wow he used to be pretty unhinged" to seeing what he's up to right before hsr (hi3 after-story) and going "oh. the. the hi3 one is the most normal one actually. that guy is uh. hm. okay." (<- brimming with excitement)

What I find quite funny is that neither Mr Reca's English or Japanese voices really suit his very hot face (i haven't heard the other dubs). And this isn't an issue because I really like the voice acting in both!

But then Reca is a memokeeper (like Black Swan) which means he doesn't have a physical form and he chooses how he looks. So he's chosen sexy YouTube play button eyes and youthful visage and sweeping bi coloured hair and ??? Then he starts talking like 58 year old film professor who has missed his last two doses of lithium.
