Critical Gamer writes: Yuri was asked if, between anime and videogame work, he found one to be easier.
“Videogames, dubbing, original recording animation… essentially at the core they’re the same, but it’s like different sports, I guess. The difficulty with dubbing is that it requires in many ways the most work. It’s all about rhythm and timing, and matching – to a certain extent – the emotion of the original performance. There are a lot of things to be juggling at the same time while you’re doing it. Ironically it also pays the least, so it’s the most work for the least amount of pay. But if you’re a nerd like I am, who grew up watching anime, it’s fun, it’s great.
We spoke with Yuri Lowenthal, Nadji Jeter, and Tony Todd at Twin Cities Con 2023 shortly after the impressive release of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 on PS5.
Both did a great job, it was nice hearing Yuri's darker performance. Reminded me of his work with Sasuke, which was for me the best voiced character in the English dub of Naruto.
"I don't care if he looks like a goblin, if my performance is better, then I'm in."
Well... obviously he can't say anything bad lol. I do miss old Peter, he kinda had an Andrew Garfield look.
thw change was quite drastic imo.
the new face looked abit... too puffy
I say get over it as well, people still whining about it like its been years move on. For awhile now its been nothing but whining, fanboying and amongst other things like give it a rest.
I've said this before and I'll say it again, I prefer the new face !
Maybe its because I think he is more attractive?
The original face was a little off. He hit the uncanny valley zone in my brain. I get that this is personal preference, but yeah the new face looks more like a real person.
Peter Parker's VA in Marvel's Spider-Man Yuri Lowenthal wants to sustain his role as long as he is alive and allowed to.
cool I guess. To be honest his performance isn't why I am there . I am there for the gameplay and boss fights. Dope he loves doing it though
Yuri Lowenthal rocks!
Awesome interview :)
