Embarrassing Voice Acting Mistakes Left in Games | Fact Hunt | Larry Bundy Jr

[@JakeTheVoice]

Fun fact: I actually interviewed the voice actor for the female Elves in Oblivion, Linda Kenyon, and told her about the gaffe that Bethesda made with her "wait a minute, let me do that one again" line. She didn't know that it's still making people laugh to this day, and she got a chuckle out of it as well, mentioning that "I only recorded the line, I didn't edit it", of course.

[@Larry]

LMAO, oh, Well done on getting the TimeSplitters Rewind gig there Jake! Glad to see it's in excellent hands Sir!

[@Mischief_Manager93]

The only other one of her lines that I thought should have been redone is the line you get when you tell the Dark Elf leader of the Harlun's Watch settlement that the missing townsfolk are dead. She says "oh no, that's terrible" with the same flat, emotionless delivery of someone who was just told their wine shipment was delayed slightly.

yeh I think many of these are not the actors fault really, if you're recording the first time you've ever read the script, it will turn out weak. And also the directors/editors should be at least paying attention enough to notice

Ko is my favorite character just for his interaction with that boss. The entire dialogue is: "Hi there. What a cute boy. Interested in my body, aren't you?" "Not interested." "Oh. You're into THAT?" "I like girls. But now, it's about justice. My name is Ko, and I'm beating down evil. Stop bothering me! You have two choices: A) Beaten then caught. B) Caught then beaten." "You're an idiot! Let me finish you!"

[@ironbowtie]

They got the original Japanese script, ran it through Google Translate, did zero edits and ran with it. There is no way the VA's didn't know what was going on. They were going for another Ghost Stories because they knew no one was going to buy the game.

Here's a fun one albeit not VA work. In Timesplitters 2 if you wait on the "Game over" screen for long enough you'll hear the background loop actually finish, with a woman speaking something along the lines of "Like that? Is that good?". Evidently they forgot to cut that bit out when the musician finished.

Quick Message: Apologies about the missing ten seconds of footage from the beginning of the WWE 2K17 segment, The WWE being wonderful human beings and obviously well versed in the law, decided to claim footage of a video game an all the ad revenue for themselves. So I decided to trim out the offending ten seconds they felt was their property as I couldn't be arsed to spend an entire month fighting them. I will put the video up elsewhere if you still want to see it in its entirety, but truth be told you're not really missing anything.

[@CJudders]

Is this why the sound goes out of sync with the video after the WWE part?

[@Larry]

@@CJudders I've reset the video, and I'll counter the claim. KZbin did a really shitty job of trimming the video.

[@harrydbastard]

One of the best/ worst voice acting was in one of the smackdown Vs raw games 2008-2010. In story mode the wrestlers would leave messages for you and you'd hear them asking the director if that take was ok.

[@NintendoPsycho]

Wwekids is trash regardless.

[@Veladus]

SvR 2008 was a HUGE dumpster fire. The Benoit murder/suicide happened in late 2007, and WWE demanded everything related to Benoit be scrubbed from the game. He was a significant presence and they didn't have nearly enough time to do it. Scrubbing Benoit was prioritized over polishing the game, and WWE games aren't particularly polished to begin with. So this motherfucker was like sandpaper.

Lux Pain is a special kind of trainwreck, where the voice acting said THE EXACT OPPOSITE of what was written in the text boxes. And even the text itself couldn't decide on characters genders or the country the game is supposed to take place in.

[@waffletoast215]

Something else worth mentioning about Castle Shikigamj 2: Roger Craig Smith once said on a livestream when they were trying to figure out what the game’s dialogue meant, they assumed his character frequently saying “Might!” was his catchphrase/battle cry. Only when they got to the end of the recording session did they realize that “Might” was actually another character’s name. So he spends the entire game going around saying another character’s name as a battle cry.

[@blue_ranger]

Fun fact, a friend of mine knew the woman who first voiced Lara Croft, and in the studio, she had misplaced something then found it, and said a pleasing raising "mmMMmm…" noise. They happened to catch it in a recording and it made it into the game for when Lara discovered something pleasant.

The first things I thought of were Mega Man 8 and Sonic 2006 when I clicked on this video, and yep, sure enough, you included them! The other voice-acting gaffes you covered here were quite hilarious too!

[@hazukichanx408]

My word. How the hell did Sean Bean still do such a great job with Oblivion, working under the direction of some kind of human spreadsheet machine? "We'll just do _all_ the lines in the game, _in alphabetical order"_ ...? Fricking really?! Have these people ever played a game, watched a movie, hell... taken five seconds to listen to the dynamics of a short conversation between two random people on the street? How can anyone be so freaking incompetent as to assume giving the actors context for each line is totally unnecessary?

[@Mischief_Manager93]

That probably explains why this one bit of dialogue in the "Mystery At Harlun's Watch" quest is so rubbish. You tell the Dunmer lady who gave you the quest that the missing townsfolk were eaten by trolls and her response is basically just "oh, that's kinda sad I guess". Like HELLO lady! Half the town is dead, at least show a LITTLE emotion. But at least I know it was poor direction rather than the VA phoning it in.

[@davidgusquiloor2665]

I'm glad you pointed out that interview for the MM8/X4 dub, more people need to be aware. It is still funny how the dubbing went.

[@jamesbevan9939]

Skyrim had similar issues with its voice acting. I remember a scene in one village where three characters, all voiced by Jim Cummings, were in a conversation with each other. That is an immersion killer.

[@joshuahunt3032]

[@samuelstanley7738]

This stuff happens a lot in VOs. If you notice, most of the actors pause before starting again, so the editors will know where they can cut and edit the audio. While we can laugh at the actors for making the mistakes, it's actually the editors who shoulder the blame here. The whole point of their job is to clip these flubs out.

[@Crow_Smith]

I love that you can practically hear the voice actor laughing at: Great! We idiots shouldn't think! All her other lines are pretty much "I am reading words" but that one has a clear smirk

[@BobbyBionic]

One of my favorites is from Ty the Tasmanian Tiger on the Gamecube. At one point the lifeguard explains to you how to swim, but if you speak to him a second time he'll suddenly switch to speaking a different language. The best part is he starts his sentence with "And remember..." before the switch. As if i'm going to retain any of that.

I think the voice acting in any Mega Man game is god-awful. The Mega Man series is like The Legend of Zelda in that regard: THINGS WERE GOING PERFECTLY FINE WHEN NOBODY SPOKE. I bought Mega Man 11 for the Switch recently and immediately started laughing when the opening cutscene started playing because, OH MY GOD, IS IT BAD VOICE ACTING. Capcom fucking knows it too! That's why there is an option to specifically turn the voices off. I don't believe I have ever selected an option faster!

[@disposable_income_andy]

Here's something, VALVe actually had one of these. In Team Fortress 2, every class has a taunt for a laugh called the Schadenfreude, meaning to laugh at another's misfortune (i.e., shooting them in the face with a shotgun, blowing them to bits in an explosion, stabbing them in the back, decapitating them with a giant claymore, etc.). One of the classes, the Soldier, voiced by the late, great and beloved Rick May, was having his laugh recorded the recording booth just like all the other class VA's. It's very hard to hear and honestly I've never even heard this, even when listening for it, however Soldier's laugh trails on for quite a bit and gets very quiet toward the end, and people who work with game audio will tell you there's someone else in the recording giving a "that's good," or something along those lines. Not noticeable to a player though, and it's not the only one either. Ellen McLain, voice of GLaDOS in Portal and the administrator/announcer voice in TF2 also has a line in which a "that was great, thank you" can be heard from one of the crew members outside the booth. This time it was cut off in the game unlike the Soldier's, but remains in the files as the full version.

[@OfficerDik]

There is a voice line mistake that may be more of a programming error in the wheel of fortune game for nintendo switch. You need to unlock zestphone as a reward, and select it as the wheels reward, then play a game and land on it, then guess a letter correctly. When the announcer tells you what you won, they will spout out ALL the recorded lines for the rewards at once, one after the other, until you skip it or wait a very very long time for him to finish saying everything. It is very funny to hear him go on and on about a 1000 dollar gift, a 1000 dollar reward, a reward worth 1000 dollar, etc, with the game just waiting.

Medieval II seems to have a bit of a curse of leftover voicelines: the Italian version of the game has an error in the tutorial of the siege engines, as the voice actor loses track of where he is in the script, and says "Orco can mi son perso un'altra volta", loosely translating to "Goddamit I got lost again", then goes on like normal.

There's one localization error in the Japanese exclusive Transformers game made by Winkysoft and published by Atlus in 2003 for PS2. The game is voiced all in English, but not by the voice actors from the original cartoon on which the game is based. Instead the voices are by various actors from Resident Evil and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, and they sound terrible. But the mistake is that the character Cosmos is referred to by his Japanese name, Adams. (Cosmos turns into a little green flying saucer, and in Japan is named after "ufologist" George Adamski.)

It cracks me up to read bad translations, but having them actually voiced? Not one of the English-speaking voice actors contacted someone to let them know that the words didn't actually make sense? Unless they all collectively thought it was hilarious and went with it. Probably why they read the parenthetical directions out loud. Might as well. Makes it funnier.

[@Texy88]

I was expecting a certain line from the 3DO game _Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties_ to feature in this. There’s a flubbed line towards the end from the leading man which causes him to crack up and his laughter and verbal gaffe was left in the game (you even hear another man in the recording studio say “Freudian slip?”, as well as others laughing and a man’s voice saying “I’m gonna keep that in the script!”).

[@unclemoose9023]

Can we assume calling Papa Shango Chris Wright instead of Charles Wright was actually just an ironic Easter egg about flubbed lines.

[@moopert86]

I find it much more funny to assume so, so yes.

[@dhenderson1810]

Surprised that they didn't include Kama from the Nation Of Domination in the match, as he is also played by Charles Wright.

[@CarlTheQuaker]

15:17 The President here sounds like a rejected South Park character and the guard who sounds like Barney Gumble are my two favorite lines from Last Alert xD

[@unchainedchomp8586]

Another wonderful video, Larry! I was disappointed that Jade Cocoon 2 wasn't included. The US version at the very least is absolutely littered with audio editing errors and included outtakes.

[@soogymoogi]

Man, been YEARS since I heard about that game. What a bizarre sequel (with a cool battle system)

As someone who is working on restoring/re-editing dialogue for the Unity fan-remake Project '06, Sonic 2006 has a couple more interesting recordings to add to the more commonly-known GUN dispatcher flubs. Roughly 59% of the dialogue in the game's files actually go unused in the original release, with many consisting of the same gameplay hints delivered by other characters (presumably as safety in case Sonic Team were to release separate DLC campaigns for Tails, Knuckles etc). In an unused voice clip for Knuckles describing the Iblis Golem enemies, Dan Green initially messes up the line with "The core of its head is its weakpoi--" before correcting it as "The core of the head is its weakpoint. Got to attack it when it appears!" Just like the Wave Ocean line for the GUN dispatcher, they simply left the full recording in and never got round to editing out the mistake. Also, if one were to listen careful to Princess Elise as she explains how the vines work in Sonic's Tropical Jungle stage ("If you jump when the bud is glowing, you may be able to jump higher"), you might notice her voice sounds quite different. That's because before SEGA cast Lacey Chabert in the role, Elise was initially voiced by another 4Kids voice actress (long cited to be Veronica Taylor (Ash in Pokemon) but never officially confirmed as far as I know). All of her dialogue was subsequently re-recorded once Lacey got the role, but a couple of Veronica's readings ended up in the game's files with the Tropical Jungle hint being the only one heard in-game (which in itself is an oddity as a replacement recording with Lacey does in fact exist in the game, but was never swapped out 🤷‍♂).

[@SammEater]

That really shows how rushed the entire game was if they actually made a new recording with the new VA only to put the old audio in the game. lol

[@cosplayingchao]

@@SammEater Rushed, the lead designer of the entire franchise left, and Sega kept taking their staff to work on other projects. Sega doomed themselves with this one. I'm just glad there's a project to restore it to what it could have been

[@DJOrionX]

One other oddity (among the pile of others) in Last Alert, there's a boss that screams "Ya rai ni ka!" right before you fight him. It seems like the original script had "yaranaika," Japanese for "Let's do this" (or...other intonations...) But the translator must have not cared enough to translate it, and the voice actor assumed it was a catchphrase a la "Geronimo" or something.

[@joaopires1761]

Could've at least got it right!

[@steakdriven]

Yaranaika? Oh myyyyyyy

[@talongaudio939]

There is one in Quest for Glory 4: Shadows of Darkness, when you Meet Hanz, Franz, and Ivan. When one of them introduces themselves instead it says "Igor's death will be avenged!"

Oblivion was a fine game and hearing those voice flubs again made me smile rather broadly.

[@erinw6120]

Love seeing Last Alert on here. Many, many laughs had when I first played through back in the 90s. It honestly sounded like they rounded up people in the production office who could perform lines in reasonably decent English, stuffed them in a closet, and recorded everything in one go on a late weekend evening. There was another glitch in one of the boss fights where instead of playing the correct voice line, it played some random music. Guess they either referenced the wrong track in the code (all the voice lines and music are individual audio tracks on the CD-ROM), or the wrong audio was put on the master disc out of order.

[@matsuoakatsu]

Funnily enough even the Italian dub of Medieval II: Total War has a voice actor that messes up a line in the tutorial 😂

[@VahanNisanian]

Surprised you didn't mention Gretel Grösse from "Wolfenstein 3D": "She was voiced by Tom Hall, originally as a place-holder, but the designers forgot to amend this before they shipped the game.", according to the fandom wiki.

[@Larry]

the original PC wolfenstein?

[@VahanNisanian]

​@@LarryYes, the 1992 FPS game that kicked-off the genre.

[@WaterCrane]

I can see that happening, given id Software were, like Westwood, only a couple of steps above working out of their mother's basement at the time. However, nothing particularly stands out as incorrect, at least beyond the butchered German pronunciation throughout the entire game!

[@Jolis_Parsec]

I think that was intentional actually given how the readme file for Wolf 3D has an apology to all native German speakers across the world due to how badly ID mangled the language when voicing the enemy characters. 😜

[@alexkrycek3359]

[@pablocasas5906]

I remember when Halo 2 was released Microsoft actually dubbed it into Neutral Spanish, it was one of the first AAA games dubbed into our dialect... but MS decided to record the voices in a small dubbing studio in Miami. Now, very few shows are dubbed into Spanish, but the studio was even smaller than Etcétera Group. Halo 2's Latin American dub was so bad that a professional Mexican dub actor sent a critique to MS and they actually listened to him and let him direct Halo 3 and all the rest of Halo games and the show were dubbed in Mexico since then and the dub is well regarded by fans. PS: Master Chief Mexican voice actor, Raúl Anaya, voices Mario in the animated SMB movie trailer

[@TrexelCat]

Not exactly an embarrassing mistake left in, but Elemental Gearbolt for the PS1 has an unlockable extra where you can hear the flubs and mistakes from the voice acting for the anime FMV sequences.

[@KairuHakubi]

oh that is tits. that's something all games should include.

[@TrexelCat]

@@KairuHakubi I think you have to beat the game on the hardest difficulty to unlock that. I haven't played that game in years. But I remember recording to a VHS the entire flubs segment from that game. And I agree, more games with voice acting should have that as an unlockable.

[@Ashurman666]

Here's a fun one I always remember: In the game Dragonball Xenoverse, Trunk has a line where he says "Guys...".Now I assume the intent was for him to be surprised or something at our character wanting to save him so much but instead the voice line has him say"Guys" completely nonplussed and like he had just finished eating something. Also, Larry, Elise's age in Sonic 06 is irrelevant, it's the fact that she's human and Sonic is not that's disturbing

[@KaoruMzk]

I mean, if she’s underage, it only gets worse.

[@chaoscontroller316]

1) Sonic is apparently 15 in human years. Do with that information whatever you will. 2) That Xenoverse flub sounds like Eric Vale accidentally hit the microphone somehow and his line was just checking if it worked still.

There's one and it's very slight and you need some good quality audio to pick it up but in Vice City's Rusty Browns ring donuts ad when the guy talks says sometimes I like to wear womens panties and walk down the street he stutters slightly and you can hear someone laughing.

[@DeadBaron]

One of my favorites was in Project Wingman, one of the NPCs had a line where they left the mic running and he asked if the take was good IIRC. They patched it out though :(

[@KairuHakubi]

Isn't it weird how fixing those mistakes actually makes us sad all Xenoblade 2 fans remember how tragic it was when they patched out the incredibly memorable lines from the enemies you fight like 300 times, constantly all spamming THINK YE CAN TAKE ME? DON'T FORGET ME!" which itself is a flubbed line (apparently this was the voice director) because he emphasizes 'forget' rather than 'me' as if he's concerned that you'll keep memories of him forever, rather than just announcing himself as an additional combatant.

[@genericname2747]

[@Paxtin]

A personal favorite line flub that for some reason lives rent free in my head comes from the 2013 remake of the 1992 game Flashback, in where the main character is suppose to cynically exclaim, the very 90's phrase, "Awesome sauce". However, for the voice acting in the remake the line is delivered in such a way that seems to suggest that the character has just found some actual sauce and is pleasantly surprised by it.

[@Wembley2018]

Quite a funny one. When some of the voice actors was playing Persona 5 royal on twitch (LAVA or very loud and annoying on the) someone in chat linked a video of Max Mittelman as Ryuji coughing after one of his mementos voice lines. Both Ray Chase and Robbie Daymond thought it was funny so they used the coughing as a voice twitch bit donation for the rest of the stream.
