I thought Heather's voice fit perfectly. Douglas' was fine as well. Claudia on the other hand was terrible. I could never get past her fake, slight, pseudo British accent. I never cared much for Vincent either, and not just his voice. I thought the entire character was a bit useless.

Heather's seiyuu was great, I thought. She emoted very well, and it was not only age appropriate but character appropriate. Hearing her cry at... you know, that scene... it gets me every time. You really feel how painful it is to lose someone you love.
Vincent was pretty good, too. He sounded like a regular guy. It felt right, especially since as he kept talking, his voice gained this strained quality that felt like he'd break into sermon if you let him. I agree with VIVIsect that his character seemed out of place, but I think they put him in there as a counter to Claudia, showing that there are levels to every religion, the cult being no different.
Douglas was okay to me. Every now and then, though, I swear he sounded like Grover from Sesame Street, and I'd have to shake the image.
Claudia... now, that was a mistake. Between her accent and her over acting, it was just a disaster. Mary Elizabeth McGlynn's version in the OST was impeccable, but it was made all the better after hearing the brit-shit version of the in game. Why are you British? Why?! Stop it! It may be that that's a viable New England accent, but to the uneducated, unwashed masses, it's British.

i agree with everything you said but this, but in no reference to her accent, i agree with you in that too. i do not, however, feel as though her voice is not out of place. She accurately portrays a "holier-than-thou" character. someone who, in her own mind is better than those around her because of her belief in the god that she worships. i must admit that her arrogance is a bit much at times but it does help to build what she is. Notice the emphasis she puts on the word "god" itself, and how she uses the term as if no one understands it the way she does.lain of the wired wrote:Claudia... now, that was a mistake.

Vincent's my favourite. when heather lumps him with Claudia and he just explodes is a good moment. Whatever people say, it's some of the better voice acting in the silent hill game. The worst? The first one.

The motions were great and the script was realistic and convincing, as well as emotional and interesting. However, I found the voice acting to be quite hilarious. Especially Douglas.

It was ok overall....with all of the horrors goin' on, some of heather's lines didn't quite fit the situations she was in. I liked douglas and his voice fit his character perfectly.....i too felt that the first time heather ran into claudia in that the voice acting was a bit off. Now the voice acting in SH1 will make the characters in SH3 receive an oscar!...

It wasn't bad i mean it was better than the emotionless acting of sh2(except for the end) and the horrible acting in 1. Sh4's voice acting was decent but nothing special.
