Lifeline's voice
Seriously, can there be another voice actress for lifeline. I can't stand that Jamaican accent... already in the first few matches I got annoyed by it and so was a buddy of mine... It's nothing again...
Firstly, she’s Trini. I know because she uses certain words that are prevalent in that area.
Okay, the voice actress isn’t a native so what. If you aren’t from Jamaica or Trini yourself then you wouldn’t know what a good accent would sound like. She sounds fine to me.
Not sure why you don’t find the rest of the characters’ accents annoying when they’re all from America and probably are imitating an accent from a foreign culture as well.
As a missionary kid who grew up in the Caribbean and now an adult, I find it lazy on Respawn's part to not get an authentic Caribbean voice actress to be Lifeline. Jar Jar Binks sounded more authentic, sadly. Please do something to make her sound real or just completely change the character's identity. She currently sounds like someone trying to be a mix between Jamaican and Haitian and failing at both.
I'm Jamaican American and grew up around the Caribbean accent. Lifeline's is literally the worst accent I've ever heard in a video game. It genuinely feels like she's making fun of us.
