      His voice has no natural and genuine power behind it. It's very obvious he's trying hard to sound gruff. Perhaps he can't hear his own voice but he's evidently not even close to a match for Kiryu, he took the role purely for vanity's sake

      These two. He's a shit voice actor. He doesn't understand that those two words are connected and that he needs to act with his voice.

    kiryu is over 50 but is voiced by someone that is still in his 20s and clearly sounds like it
    he probably could've pulled off yakuza 0 kiryu, especially if he tried to be more natural instead of putting on the Anime Voice Actor Voice a lot of dubs these days do where they somehow overact and underact at the same time to try and copy the japanese instead of being more natural, but it hits some kind of uncanney valley to hear his voice come out of kiryu

    even if this was the first yakuza game, it would still sound awkward

      I'm pretty sure they have absolutely no director going on, and likely all of the recordings are being done remotely leading to the VAs having zero idea what is going on except what they can read from the script.
      Someone posted a video of a side-story that had a teenage boy sound like a child probably because the dub VA thought the teenager was a child due to the lines.
      That doesn't excuse Yong, but lack of direction seems to be an on-going issue in dubs.

    You can tell he really doesn't know how to modulare his voice, which means his range is very limited. Nothing wrong with that really, mani VA can make a carrer for themselves by just having "one voice" ,Joe Dimagio for example.

    But in the lack of range, he fails to give personality to the voice, he is just deadpanly reading lines while pretending to have a deeper voice and you can just tell it's fake, his acting is not convincing and it takes you out of whatever immersion the game has.

      >if it were someone that wasnt an e-celeb and it still sucked, nobody would care.
      This is false, they had an english VA that worked fine for Kiryu and pushed him out because he was white. The new VA would've had to be a perfect fit to justify the change, and instead they picked some C-list youtuber because they wanted a bargain on marketing.

    Would you act the same if the guy didn't make such big of a deal about voicing Kiryu? Like no cringe cosplay, no "I earned Kiryu" bullshit?

      Probably not, without his antics it would've went from cringe bad to forgettable bad.
      His personality and performance is a set meal for a hilarity.

      No, literally nobody would have given a shit after a week. People would laugh at his shit performance every once in a while but his completely unjustified ego has kept people laughing at him for way longer.

      I found out who he is after listening to his performance and thinking it sounds bad. So yeah, in a way I did and I think most would too because most people don't know who YongYea is. YongYea letting his ego loose is just frosting on the cake.

    Yong has a very flat voice and doesn't inflect like a real person.
    Yong's voice sounds like a 20 year old anime protag, not a 50 year old gangster.
    He can't sing for shit.

    Sounds bad.
