The New Harley Quinn - Rerecorded

bmce84 · Nov 4, 2016

Feels like a rushed edit, where they just set the voice to low and hoped it would fix the pitch issue from the original.

Technically yes and no because he said he was done with voicing the Joker back in 2011 but then changed his mind to do the Arkham games and DC animated movies. What's to say if he changes his mind again. Besides there are talented voice actors like Troy Baker who can do a great Joker as well

“Well financing goes a long way because many voice actors are located where the work is for cartoons, anime, and games like in California, Canada, etc. And many voice actors get paid for their time, travel, and room. And since Daybreak is in California, they have more access to voice actors. Only problem is voice actors like Mark Hamill, Kevin Conroy, and Tara Strong who are versatile voice talent and have various projects in their resume usually come with a cost to hire.”

Daybreak is in California but the DCUO studios are in Austin right? Wouldn't they do the recording there or would that be farmed out to Cali?

Again thanks for replying with another article stating the obvious. Again SHOULD HE CHANGE HIS MIND because he has other projects like Star Wars and is 65. He can't do it forever, I don't see why Daybreak shouldn't go with Troy Baker. And I'm sure you'll look for another article so make sure to post the article when he in fact retires to keep me up to date like this old one

You mean article saying he was not retired at the year you said he was retired? Judging by your previous response I thought you were confused on the time when Mark returned to the role(by Arkham games you mean Knight and VR?), since he's done Last Laugh dlc for Dcuo after City.

“Again SHOULD HE CHANGE HIS MIND because he has other projects like Star Wars and is 65.”

Of course he can change his mind but I think(and hope) he's not gonna stop voicing Joker unless he's gonna stop doing voice acting altogether cause it looks like he do love the character as much as fans love hearing Hamill as that character.

“I don't see why Daybreak shouldn't go with Troy Baker.”

Not sure they can(or willing to) afford either Hamil or Baker at this point. Also not a fan of Baker in Origins.

“A known associate of mine informed me today that whilst testing things out on the test server, in the Iceberg Lounge solo, he noticed that the new (and very controversial) Harley Quinn, voiced by Jen Brown, has had her lines rerecorded. I jumped on test and we ran the Harley's Heist Duo and again, her lines had indeed been rerecorded.

As I made the original new Harley Quinn voice reveal video, I figured I'd make a new video showing off the rerecorded lines:

If you need a refresher of what the original voice sounded like, here's the original video with lines recorded for the Harley's Heist Duo or if you want a direct comparison, a play through of the Iceberg lounge solo:

So what do you think? Are the new versions an improvement?

In my opinion, I don't think they're an improvement. The new recordings sound like the voice actress has issues with her confidence in the role. Which I guess is fair considering the criticism she got for her performance.

Really, the only problem I had with the old versions were that she ended every line with a loud, grating noise which made her sound like the wicked witch. If she didn't do that, the lines in their original form would have been ideal.

I feel now that she's lost the "cute"/"childish" tone. She sounds like she's just been lobotomised or has lost all faith in humanity and given up on life.”

I just got back on after being away for a while and now that I notice the change (again) I feel like this is a huge mistake for the devs to let this happen. Just when the change happened with iceberg lounge it was starting to grow on me. Now this under whelming person doing harley's voice is killing me(not really). My question is to the devs is why? I'm only curious to know and nothing else. Why?
