CY YU TALKS: TIGHNARI NEW VOICE ACTOR | Genshin Impact

[@henoji777]

Thank you for defending the new VA and explaining why it is is intentional and important to NOT sound like the old VA so people don't get triggered

[@jianna009]

I had my opinions about zachary gordon being the new va. at first i was skeptical like everyone else, but in no way should ppl trash talk about him. whoever tighnari’s va is, whether it’s zachary or not, ANY va is better than that disgusting scumbag. i’m glad that zachary’s the new va, in fact, i think he was the best possible outcome

[@kamicokrolock]

I've been saying this all over twitter. It's amazing how many people don't realize this and have been going on rants how their game experience is ruined. If this is their first time experiencing "the other Darrin" troupe then they are going to have a hard time coping with how often it happens.

[@iasomnium919]

I figured people would understand that, but then again this is the genshin fandom we're talking about. People went nuts when changes were made Barbara's and Paimon's voices. Ehile I do prefer the way they used to sound, you accustom yourself to it after awhile. Not slam a VA who did nothing except what Hoyoverse resquested them to... You know, like how a good and professional VA acts. Of course he doesn't sound like the old VA, would people rather have a pitch perfect recreation that gives underage girls Vietnam flashbacks? So long as Tighnari's personality is preserved and people can enjoy playing him again, that's good enough for me.

[@fallenprometheus]

@@iasomnium919 Well, but the voice IS trash and absolutely different from what we've come to expect of them. At least with Barbara they tried to keep it similar enough though I also think they've done a poor job. The lines are all just so flat and devoid of the character the other had.

[@didyourmomlastnight]

There are people who will still always get triggered whenever they even just see Tighnari, yet they didn't remove him. The new voice changes just make things worse for the people who liked his original characterization and vibe, and now have to deal with an older, nerdier and far more monotone versjon of Mika.

[@ZanZEpicKidd]

I’m imagining Tighnari clearing his throat while talking w/Cyno and all of a sudden the new voice comes out XD “Thank goodness my cold’s over! Anyways-“

[@atriyakoller136]

[@jojomuppet1820]

Kinda like the episode of the Nanny when Fran eats Wasabi and her nasally voice changes due to the spice. Clearing it up to her having a completely different voice

[@jazznadoez]

They did this in TMNT 2012 😭😭 I cannot remember what stupid shit Leonardo’s original VA did but it was enough to get him removed from the show and he had had a temporary replacement VA before the S2 Finale where Leo ended up getting severely injured. When the story starts back up in S3, they demonstrate Leo’s journey through his recovery and officially give him a new VA (Seth Green woo!). The writers chalked up the change in Leo’s voice to his injuries and it stayed that way for the rest of the series lmao. They like bring it up once canonically and just carry on, and I think they were so real for that

[@littlemouche]

I'm honestly super impressed that the dev team found a replacement and implemented them in the game in less than two months. I was not expecting it to be done til summer

[@MayraXanthe]

Same! Another reason I love Hoyoverse

[@jyll]

They probably had to do it quickly because the 3.6 flagship event had already been planned, and Tighnari was going to appear there. (3.5 Windblume was too near to the issue, so they had no time to fix that.)

[@kawaiimika7974]

​@@MayraXanthe Yes because they gave us crap but it was crap shipped really quickly. WOOO HOOO HOYOVERSE 😒

[@MayraXanthe]

@@kawaiimika7974 yeah, I actually really like how they didn’t try to mimic Tighnari’s old VA, but gave us something different. And he did not disappoint!

[@kawaiimika7974]

​​@@MayraXantheHe has most definitely disappointed us. The line delivery IS ATROCIOUS! Saying that "he didn't try to make him sound like he used to" IS A BAD THING! That's who Tighnari is. You can't erase someone's personality like that. Sure the voice itself doesn't have to be the same BUT LINE DELIVERY SHOULD HAVE STAYED THE SAME!

It’s gonna take some time to get used to but it’s better than getting triggered and traumatized hearing Elli*t every time Tighnari speaks. Congrats to Zachary!

[@RedsteelZac19]

I knew his name sounded awfully familiar and then it hit me when I suddenly remembered the cheese touch. Best of luck to Zachary Gordon.

[@iasomnium919]

Hearing the VA sample for the first time: "Eh, I dunno, he sounds a bit too much like Mika...." *Simple and Clean starts playing in tge distance* "You know what, it's growing on me already."

[@bella_daze3092]

OMG- no wonder why it felt familiar!

[@mitab1]

I just wish his voice was a letter deeper tbh, it's not the VA's fault but the director's fault for making him sounds like that

[@phestojen7966]

I must be easy to please cause I loved Zach's take on Tighnari. He gives Tighnari a more youthful sound while leaning more into a nasally delivery, which shifts Tighnari's energy to more of a child prodigy who became mature very quickly because of his achievements but still has those tendencies to groan and smile at Cyno's jokes or exasperatedly lecturing others on forest safety.

[@hollyberry0602]

I totally agree!

[@dumbledorf5029]

No no, I agree with you. I really love this more than the previous va. (I barely perused through Sumeru, but then again, I fell in love with other characters before going to any region)

It was also a little off for me the first time since im so used to a specific voice from him I really like how he sounds much more caring and soft spoken but still kind of strict in a way now. He also sounds a lot more done with the academia like he doesn't even have the energy to sound sarcastic about them now which is pretty fun

Remember Barbara's voice change? Yeah, that was a change that was eventually accepted by the fandom and I think this is a similar situation. I think this new voice really suits Tighnari and I'm excited for it. And to the people saying that he lost his sassy attitude, the leaked lines were of a serious scene where even the old VA didn't add sass. So we'll just have to wait to see the more famous lines.

For those of you who don't know who it is, all I have to say is this: Not a HUGE fan of the new voice, but the new VA shouldn't have to get crap for not sounding like or bringing the same 'energy' that you-know-who gave the character. This person is clearly doing the best they can (Personally I don't mind the voice and think it's alright; I think it'll just take a bit of getting used to). In other words, I'm in full agreement with Cy Yu's perspective on the situation.

[@anarchylarry]

Agreed: no matter if you prefer the first voice (I too miss the initial sass), it's just vital - and exciting - that the change is finally happening! Victims, and those otherwise sensitive, can hopefully now experience the game in peace.

I normally would keep my thoughts to myself and not say negative things about VAs in public forums, but since the last one is a bad person I'll just say it anyways: I always thought the old EN voice for Tighnari didn't fit the image I had for him, so that's why I think a new direction is exciting!

I see the potention in the new voice and I look forward for it....congratulation to the new VA😄

[@FloreMar-yp3iz]

In my humble opinion, we need to get used to the voice, and the voice needs to get used to the character. 2 months is such a short time to work with (at least I believe so), the VA needs to get the hang of the character and then it will sound more natural

[@hollyberry0602]

As someone who does not have Tighnari, I welcome Zachary with open arms and wish him the best in his career.

[@justagirlexisting]

The problem here isn't the voice. In fact I like Zachary's voice! But I feel like he isn't familiar enough with Tighnari's personality yet from what I got to hear. (He sounds less confident than what the character is actually like in my opinion for now. And maybe a bit too young) I do wish him the best though and I am sure that he will sound better once the voice lines are officially released! I am excited to see what they all end up with and I really hope that even with this new voice I will still hear the sassiness and confidence that tighnari's character has in most of his lines (going off of the writing of the lines itself not the old voice)

[@usonohoshi6165]

This is why the ball is currently in the Director's court. How he guides the new VA will determine basically everything. I saw some of his other projects and I can hear the potential. His star wars show he can do the pitch. (Just watched a few clips) And him as Hayner in KH3 (I played this in full) I can see him with the attitude. So he has potential.

I assume they did it to not sound like ~that~ guy but this guy has nothing to do with Tighnari: he didnt make his design, he didn't write any voiceline he did no shit. Those people who wrote the story and all those voicelines are the ones who made the character and people should know this and not make the character sound worse just because of messed up "advertiser"

@@Raigmund.A.Solvgrim I totally agree with you. And just because Tighnari's new VA is innocent compared to the old one, it doesn't mean that it makes the new guy a good choice for this specific character. The new VA completely changed Nari's personality with these voice lines

[@amandaslough125]

I'm mixed. The old one was one of the reasons why I really loved Tighnari, and he's one of my mains, so I knew I was going to have a harder time to adjust. I understand that. And in a vacuum the new one is fine. There's parts I like more and parts I like less. I don't really mind them making him calmer and losing the sass as much (even though I loved the sass). The real disappointment I have is that he was an exception to the stereotypical nerd. The way he was portrayed was being highly educated and his impatience came from being so intelligent and then dealing with people (Tighnari threatened to staple a paper to the forehead of a never learning patient before). That was the most relatable part of him to me. The new direction I'll get used to but it's more of a classic soft nerd (like extra soft) and I don't feel like he is as much as a leader of the forest rangers as he was. That's the main part I feel is a shame to lose. When you go over the new VA lines officially, can you make a comment about the process of localization? I know this is like a "how dare you agree with that monster?!" thing, but he was the only one that spoke up about it at the 3.0 drama in a deleted interview. Because there are comments here and there about English Tighnari still being "tie"-nari instead of "tig"nari. Or like Candace vs Kandake. I'd really appreciate a comment defending the dub on this if you wouldn't mind.

[@neanahidden]

Yeah. It can’t be helped. The owner of the old voice made sure of it. And we need to give the new voice some time to sink in. Few snippets also don’t give a real idea on the full performance. Im glad some people seem really happy. For me the first impression was more disappointed because how young Nari sounds like now. It changed the character so much. Not someone commanding the forest rangers and scaring foolish people who mess around in his forest. He sounds much younger than Collei, all soft and cute like a puppy. It’s a different Tighnari. It will take a while to get used to. But it’s an unfair position to any VA to come into. Not sure if anyone could have manage everyone’s expectations and hopes any better. We need to give him time.

[@amandaslough125]

@@neanahidden Oh yea, this is such a particular predicament, we should do our best to ease in the new VA. Even if I'm one who's able to separate art from artist, and thus not ashamed of saying what I liked of the previous talent that will forever (and rightfully) be wasted, the new VA does not deserve harassment from the fans that can't adjust as easily. And we get a full event to hear it in practice, bouncing off other characters, so that's good. Hopefully we'll have the first recording to take care of the requirement of bringing him in, and down the line when there's time, they'll go back when he's more comfortable and have him re-record lines that sound too much like reading from a script.

[@neanahidden]

@@amandaslough125 I really liked the og voice too. (It tells something about the community that you need to specify that saying that doesn’t mean you condone the VAs actions…) The whole thing has been just sad in so many levels. All the hurt some people had to go through because of a selfish twisted person. Horrible. A person who also completely destroyed their own career and probably life too by their deplorable actions. And the distant waves from all that destruction also effect us players. Definitely not as important but still. Just sad and miserable overall. I’m trying to psych myself to like the new voice more. It’s not new the VAs fault that the whole thing is such a mess. And like you said, it’s better to have opinions after we see all our Sumeru team together having conversations. But it’s going to be hard. He feels like a completely new character, not Tighnari. But it is what it is. Better choice from bad options like deleting Tighnari from all events and storylines from now on. We just need to get used to it. Some day the old version will fade from memory and comparison. (Btw Sorry for being such a downer)

[@azfira8463]

I agree, personally i prefer tighnari's previous voice. But i dont blame the new VA and the direction of his new voice. I despise Elliot for what he had done, but i gotta admit that he does a good job voicing Tighnari. I fell for tighnari because i could feel his personality from the voice. Zach's Tighnari is not bad, i don't mind they choose a more soft and gentle tighnari with a hint of sass. But, there's lacking in consistency. There are some parts that fits better than before, but for the most part, the new Tighnari felt like a "Teen" not "Adult" for me. Like, some lines that's supposed to give out mature and caring adult, rather felt like caring-teenage-boy who's still in their adolescent. It's not bad, personally, i know that i need more time to adjust to enjoy the "new" Tighnari and Zach's also need more time to familiarize himself with Tighnari's character. I hope that Hoyoverse would update the more consistent voicelines soon!

We just gotta give them some time. Hearing a new voice for a character is almost always pretty polarizing at first, since it’s different from what we’re used to.

The new voice is pretty good, but I kind of wish the voice direction would’ve taken Tighnari in a more Lindhardt from fe3h direction rather than making him sound younger and nerdier. I’m sure Zachary could’ve done it no problem, and it would’ve sounded nothing like he who shall not be named’s version. Still, I’m glad they changed it swiftly!

I dont even play genshin/never really heard the previous VA's role as Tighnari, so I have nothing to compare it to but I actually like Zachary's version :) Ik it's rushed so some lines do fall flat but it still sounds good imo + the edits and fan content are HILARIOUS

[@randomcosplay6389]

I am looking forward to hearing Tighnari’s new voice. As long as the character is written the same I don’t mind who gets the role.

[@yuki97kira]

I saw people complaining listening tighnari talk about LISTS (which is actually very well done imo... The voice is boyish, but also curious) but people are expecting someone to read from a list.... TO BE EMOTIONAL..there are some monotone in lists reading

[@kawaiithuglife7461]

Congratulations on the new house! 🎉 here’s to new beginnings and new voice actors!

[@bella_daze3092]

I’m so happy to see Tighnari’s new VA. Welcome to the Sumeru squad Zachary!❤ also thanks for defending the new va Cyyu.

[@silscr]

The new voice is only not the one we're used to but if you think about this voice being tighnari's voice from the start, it's actually good! I like Zachary's voice better.

[@omnibubbles]

Honestly, being called out by CyYu is something that I needed. I thought I had been prepared and change scares me much more than I had been aware of.. listening to the voicelines again today after sleep, has helped me and the reasoning that I missed in my own emotions.. I appreciate it, thankyou for just being you.

[@jam6079]

I also stan the new actor. While (before we found out about all the shit about Gindi) I did enjoy his old voice this one also fits well! I knew people would not like it, same thing happened when they changed Barbara’s voice. It’s just different and that doesn’t mean anything bad. Welcome to the genshin community Zachary:)

[@blep8336]

9:30 thats also happened with half of my leg. that pain is seriously bad. for the first cleaning its not but. they do clean it for every 2 day. and you can't even get scared of it because you get shocked of the hotness of the burn and the pain. the burn actually feels hot. some people thinks that after burn there is only pain. but the hotness of the burn stays for like 2 weeks and you can't do anything about it except you put something that blows air at it.

[@kaeleighrosegold1581]

honestly I like his new voice MUCH better, the old one wasn't giving

[@happybirthday2078]

My only problem with the new voice is that it sounds like a mix of Mika, Razor and Chat Noir. It's weird.

[@emily95824]

THANK YOU 🥲

[@ah7634]

I missed this while in someplace. I’m glad they are changing the voice

[@damieneifer]

I like old voice more for sure, good luck to the new VA to feel Elliot's shoes. Sad, he had to be replaced, his voice sounded really unique and rich with emotions. I hope english VA directors will do something about the fact new Tighnari voice sounds like he went through Mika-fication

[@AmirPrinceling]

Yeah...his old VA made Tighnari for me. His new VA just sounds like Elliot from Wish. I'm sure the new VA is talented and all, but not really a fan of his performance with Tighnari. They tried to find someone who sounded similar, but it lacks the feeling and emotion of the OG. Real shame.

[@stephnc3895]

The new VA sounds great!

[@nightkelm9552]

Thank you! It’s clear that they are striving away from the og voice because of triggers, and even if you don’t like his voice, don’t go on saying that you wish HE was back just because he sounded better, ( I have seen people all over say they want him back) it’s fine if you acknowledge his voice as a better fit but don’t say you want him back, he was fired for a reason . More than anything I’m excited for the new voice (yes I’ve heard it) he hasn’t had proper time to settle in the role since they needed it asap but hopefully as time goes on he can improve his voice direction (Without it sounding like the old one at all) UNLESS that is what the voice acting team is going for. Personally I love his new voice, sure it will take time to adjust, for us and him, but still, his voice sounds amazing

[@emion7834]

To be honest, when Tighnari was first released, I didnt like his voice at first, but I got used to it. It will take a while to sort of connect the new voice with the character, but it will become natural after some time.

[@jadstone02]

We can finally get the UNO NIGHT!🎉😂 With the Sumeru Boys💚

[@mikwaaa]

Yall wdym the voice is perfect i loved it i don't get why people does not like it

[@usonohoshi6165]

I'm assuming that these leaks are possibly the other takes. Not the FINAL takes. I'm also going wait for the official in-game voice lines before making a 100% judgement. But the version we've heard so far. It's rough, yeah, but not bad. His pitch is a bit lower but it's not distractingly different. I can hear the potential. It's close enough that he's a good replacement. Just needs some direction to get the tone and acting right.

[@lovelysan]

The Bistro tangent came out of nowhere, but was AMAZING.

[@EmeraldLilly94]

When I was 10 I had a cuticle stick stuck up my foot when I was running down the hall in my house. It was like about an inch and a half deep in my foot, I think. When I got to the er, that checked if it was broken and splintered, and when they found out it wasn't, they just yanked it out. I screamed lol

[@amaris3881]

I got Tighnari's character demo with his old voice as an ad before this video '-')

[@ldavis1002]

i know its going to take time to get used to, and im not thrilled about it. but its what needed to happen. i listened to the sample of Zachary, and i can only hope his other lines maintain some level of sass in the cadence. that's all i want. tighnari to till be somewhat sassy.

[@Brenilla]

Congrats to Zachary! . from what I’ve heard (I litrally listened to all the voice lines(officially in the update) the voice dose get better, (the voice lines that would’ve been recorded later gotten deeper/more natural, versus the early lines witch are more higher)(and the leak really picked a bad line too) . So my guess is that due to the process of needing to quickly recording some stuff is quite inconsistent, but it isn’t bad or anything. But I will only see once we hear him next. I hope that the voice is deeper like in the later voice lines sounds like.

[@shaylafey]

I absoutley love the new voice, I think people are confusing bad with different. Our senses don't always adjust well to change, but as human beings we can be aware thats all it is. Honestly I think based on how iv heard Tighnari in other languages, and the actual dialogue written, it fits better too, in my opinion. While nothing wrong with the sound of the voice of the original VA (the person is garbage obviously, and now the voice is terrible because of that) it felt out of place in a lot of ways to me.

[@baileyanderson2782]

I haven't played the sumeru story quest so it'll be nice to experience it with the new VA

[@Medinacrystalheart]

Yes same

[@blackbun130]

New but familiar is the best way to describe the new voice

[@Ne0politan137]

Tbh, I really had no idea that people would really be complaining that the voice would sound different. And people get MAD about this!? Like the goal is to REPLACE the voice and not to REPLICATE the voice, the voice actor still has to bring life back into the character he plays and how he interprets on how 'nari would sound like. Honestly, if you think of it this way, if the company actually got their way into finding a person to match the voice it probably wouldn't help for the viewers/players that get triggered. So please, send love to Zachary Gordon❤ to me I think he did phenomenal for bringing life back to tighnari. Give greg hefley a warm welcome will ya (looking at you twitter💢)

[@KAPfan9876]

Did you guys know that Zachary Gordon played Greg Heffly in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid movies?

[@realphagamer6410]

Old days btw... Mostly, I didn't see him as same guy from diary of the wimpy kid... Man, he grown up...

[@Bongaboi151]

12:00 Cy Yu speaks on the new man.

[@alpines8099]

I LOOOOVE the new VA! Sounds nerd, decided, strong yet sassy but an intelligent sassy(? Idk how to explain, but i love it, gives Tighnari a mature yet squishy mood, also its better if he does not sound like the other VA, whats the purpose of changing VA if its going to sound like the gr00mer and pr3dator 💀 love to Zachary!

[@ArrekusaJP]

Really excited for to hear Zach and Alejandro in the next event!

[@scarleteverett993]

Ngl Zachary fits really well for Tighnari Congrats Zachary ❤

[@xionstevens4955]

Still can't believe Zach is the same person who's role was Greg Heffley from Diary if a wimpy kid is now the voice of Tighnari 😊

[@ssssssssssss843]

When i logged in and played tighnari i was like: woah what happend But its better that way that they did that. Can‘t wait to see/hear more by tighnaris new va 🙏 (literally have 0 quests :‘))

[@TacitaS13]

Las cosas como son, y mejor no lo pudiste decir. Leaks, leaks, leaks... A veces benditos y otras maldito, independiente de como sea la voz, hubo alguien o mejor dicho muchas personas que se esforzaron detrás de la voz que daría el reemplazo, y más teniendo en cuenta la mancha que deja en el personaje (lamentablemente en las comunidades no hay madures y se tergiversan las situaciones y escalan hasta adaptarlas a los personajes involucrados) Adoro jugarlo en Inglés y apoyo por completo las voces que tanta alegría me da escuchar. Y tal vez te sea extraño, pero el amor se gana no se compra, los VA le dan amor a los personajes y nosotros debemos devolver ese amor. Reciban con cariño a alguien que depósito su esfuerzo y creyó en el juego, el personaje y la comunidad.

[@ChimeraLotietheBunny]

But hey still have the voice that reminds me of Tighnari..just younger and wohoo that actor is something I am familiar with another franchise

[@jereythegundamluna4539]

I can’t help but keep seeing Greg’s face on Tighnari’s body

[@Nameless422-]

(nods in agreement to this video) I usually play with the CN voiceover but heard his old EN voiceover enough from watching others' playthrough. Listening to some of the voice lines for the new VA, it seems his tone is similar to how he sounds in CN so to me it'd probably won't take too much time to get used to it.

[@rottenlake]

I want the new voice! I'm so excited!

[@niki2037]

Honestly I just miss the sassinesss and confidence of the old one, the new one sounds like grown up Mika and like a nerd... But if it means that someone else will not get triggered, then that's a sacrifice I can make.

[@the.kii.to.your.heart_]

i agree w/ you a lot, tighnari’s old voice was known to be really sassy and tighnari was seen as a sassy character. however, even though zachary did great voicing tighnari, like you said, some voicelines sound like mika but older. but it’s good that hoyo took action quite quickly and now for tighnari’s character details it won’t say the name of the idiot who ruined his career. still forever going to miss the super sassy fennec fox.

[@darkoakquarks8748]

I think we all just need to wait until we see the new voice ingame. Humans don't like change and certainly not when we have like one voiceline to go off. Just give it time

[@GI_Zyan]

Luckily I didn’t end up pulling Tighnari until after the VA changed. After hearing the story on the old VA, I’m really glad they got someone else to do it. And I do have to agree that Zachary’s voice seems to fit the character much better. I’ve grown to love Tighnari and all of his voice lines. I feel like most everyone else probably feels the same way about it.

[@natsilly]

i cant believe greg heffley from hit series 'diary of a wimpy kid' is in genshin impact

[@lrose5522]

When they changed Barbara's voicelines (I believe the thing was that they used the wrong version originally? idr) and I really didn't like them at first, but I got used to it and I didn't think it was so bad after that. Maybe some people really won't ever like Tighnari's new voice. I didn't ever use Tighnari and hearing his new voice, I really liked it! So idk people just need to fucking chill, I guess.

[@juliechoi4053]

The new voice has a nice comfy style to it! I like it heheh

[@weena2062]

all I wanna say is that I love Tighnari's new voice and I can't wait to play him finally. I waited for so long now because you know...of that whole thing that was going on, but when we can finally hear the new voice in game, I can play him ^^ they did an amazing job finding a new fitting voice ^^

[@Yasmim-gw7ph]

i'm kinda surprised zachary used to be Greg Heflley from the live actions, im not was a person was used to be using genshim english dub but i respect pretty much even i not playing genshim anymore

[@Bugaboo459]

I think the only problems I have with the voice is that he sounds like an older Mika. Mika’s actual voice does annoy me to an extent (personal opinion ofc) and as a Tighnari main, it’s gonna be hard to listen and Main him.. basically. And his third burst line isnt like “I hear EVERYTHING.” Yet, it’s more like “Iheareverything.” And, to me, it doesn’t have that nurturing sound to it, as tighnari’s personality is nurturing. That’s the only things. I do understand why they had to make it different and stuff. I just can’t seem to like it. I just hope it grows on me. ;-;

[@Jess-lc7ci]

Finally I'm going to be able to do the mission without feeling anger.

[@kashimomola]

tighnari with da cheese touch

[@LumineferusAether]

congratulations
