Why is Balthus's impersonation of Hubert so good!?

[@Flareboxx]

Haha I feel like the writers of this scene didn't intend for the impersonation to be SO spot on. The voice actor was practically bragging at how much range he has as an actor 😂

[@caitsith3.0]

In character for someone voicing Balthus, the guy that brags about his strength

[@strangerblades3054]

Omg this is on spot

[@0axis771]

Edelgard does not like that Balthus does a better impression of Hubert than she does. But she can't help but admit it's really damn good.

[@zsDUGGZ]

Must explain her lack of a comment for that sheer amount of accuracy.

[@sonicx711]

What's scarier is that he remembered word for word

[@Daydream_N]

That trauma is now ingrained in his memories for all time

[@LizardKingRequiem]

Balthus is now an uncharacteristically good impressionist in game lol

[@kell2859]

I really wanna hear more of his impressions now

[@thecursed_1lordofcats738]

The best part is those impressions might help his debt.

So Balthus is the king of grappling, a great detective, a total bro, and now he's a voice actor. What can't this man do

[@lejon73]

pay his debts

[@optimaltt6070]

@@lejon73 oh, right

[@YamiNetto]

1) Pay his debts 2) Get Count Erwin Fritz Gloucester off his back 3) Get his stepmother to like him 4) Not go five minutes without incurring a migraine for Holst and/or Hilda, or coming off like a fight-drunk braggart 5) Not make things totally awkward about his crushes on both Lady Judith and Tiana (Claude/Khalid's mom) (though apparently so did Holst, meaning they at least have good taste in refined noblewomen who can kick their asses. Mood.)

Be debt-free

Judging by this moment, Balthus could easily pay off all his debts at once with a voice acting career lol

I KNOW RIGHT, I THOUGHT IT WAS HUBERT'S VA SPEAKING WHEN I FIRST HEARD THIS VOICE LINE

Damn Aaron. And I thought Robbie was good but this is… whew. Both of them scare me with their range

Robbie’s Hubert voice was cursed already but this impression is even more creepy

[@williamsapong81]

I thought his name was Nathan.

[@Astrologus-Auctrix]

@@williamsapong81 which one? Hubert is Robbie Daymond and Balthus is Aaron Hendrik

[@MrSentinel07]

Nathan Hedrick is the real name of Balthus's VA. He does by "Aaron" as an alias.

@@MrSentinel07 ah, I see. Several of them do that. It’s a stage name

Balthus, when did you learn to speak emo

[@Astrologus-Auctrix]

Aaron must’ve done the same vocal practices Robbie did to achieve the original or something lol

[@theoverpreparerlamenters3r436]

Probably while he was in the abyss.

[@moo5773]

This made me believe Hubert and Balthus shared the same VA

[@slimballs9650]

They didn’t but I’m sure Hendrick may have auditioned for it.

I genuinely thought Hubert and Balthus had the same VA because of this it was so good

[@butcherchip]

When I'm in a voice impersonation competition and my opponent is Balthus

[@jackwolfstang]

Another person that comes to mind is Lucien Dodge himself. I didn’t know he was voicing Felix, I only knew him from voicing Eliot in Cold Steel, so it was a surprise to know he could do that. Voice actors are just so amazing.

[@Sasoubree]

He did a Mercedes impression in one of his streams and it was scarily accurate 😂

[@YourCrazyDolphin]

@@Sasoubree I think most people could with some helium.

[@Astrologus-Auctrix]

I KNEW HE WAS ELLIOT OH MY GOD. I heard him and was like “why does he sound like Felix doing an Ashe impression? Lucian is that you?” The most impressive to me though is Robbie Daymond (Hubert). He is also Tobin in FE: Shadows of Valentia and Prompto from Final Fantasy XV. That’s an insane range. Ben Diskin (Caspar, Lorenz, Saizo, & Jakob) is great too though

[@PiplupPeanut]

Even crazier? Lucien Dodge is also Hifumi Yamada from Danganronpa

Alternate title: Balthus’ impression of Robbie Daymond’s sinister voice.

[@Astrologus-Auctrix]

Yeah I like how this is Aaron doing an impersonation of a specific voice Robbie does because that’s absolutely not his actual voice. Like he straight up imitated the most insane performance Robbie does. It’s ALMOST an impression of an impression

I kind of want to have Hubert's voice actors do a reaction to this quote now 🤣

[@jackwolfstang]

Man when I got this scene I was dying 😂 this was amazing.

[@NintendoGirl49]

It's funny but also a little terrifying because his voice even sounds much like Hubert's.

[@MirageCross]

A good mark of a voice actor is impersonating someone so well you think it's that other person talking not the impersonator

That's what I was thinking yesterday when I got the support!

[@zzskyninjazz1821]

Edelgard: …That’s a terrible impression Monica: But not inaccurate

[@Ramash440]

I just saw that Support, for the first few words I thought they were literally playing Hubert's VA. Also later in that scene : >Does this mean no ? >No, it means "absolutely not!" Edelgard's rejections would be brutal if Hubert didn't handle those himself.

[@Austin_B626]

I genuinely thought they just reused/re-recorded one of Hubert's lines. That was an impression?!

[@Curlorly06]

Balthus lived in the Abyss, so he’s got at least some practice in being edgy.

[@ResurgentRaven]

Do you think they wrote these supports just for that impersonation? You know what, I could care less if they did. More Balthus is an absolute win.

[@tommytran7409]

I’m getting mein fraulein vibes by hearing that impression.

[@benjaminosterloh3605]

Sounded more like Frieza, especially TFS Frieza than Hubert, imho

[@Hunghover]

Am I the only one who hears Shadow the Hedgehog ?

I hear it too! (Kirk Thornton’s take, specifically).

[@eduardobustamante4749]

Does Balthus and Hubert share the same voice actor or what?

[@Astrologus-Auctrix]

Ha ha no. Balthus is Aaron Hendrik and Hubert is Robbie Daymond. They’re both super good and have amazing range tho

[@GMKGoji01]

…Wow. Balthus made Hubert sound like Joker. From Batman! Not Persona! Jeez!

[@thatuzumaki7802]

💀

[@jontyrosenow9396]

I'm probably in the minority on this, but I don't think this is a good read Credit to the voice actor for the range but that does not sound like Balthus doing Hubert, it sounds like a cut from someone completely different

[@slimballs9650]

Maybe Hendrik auditioned for Hubert as well, but lost it to Daymond in the end…
