See the clip above! Kinda weird huh? A US game with a character's voice suspiciously like a singaporean. Actually it does sound like SINGAPOREAN! Hmm.. I have no idea why but why does Beatrice Chia's face pop out when i hear that voice? Someone have commented that it sounds like Rosie from PCK but yeah whatever dude. And why does this singaporean accent sound so low class? I have no idea why! Ok, the french accent is sexy, british accent is freaking cool, and even cantonese accent is funny but this singaporean accent is just classless, and kinda annoying if i may say so. And given our command of english here you might think that we'd make an effort to speak properly. The funny thing is that character's name is Bolo Santosi. Sounds spanish no? I can just imagine the game producers using one of those online name generator and throwing in an extra to voice over. And she was told to sound exotic and so she spoke like she normally would at the wet market buying fish. Y'know, cause the americans wouldn't know the difference. And i realise that we'd sound really silly if we tried to speak singlish with tourists. No wonder the Speak Good English campaign. It all makes sense now.
