twice Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 This is the message I got from her as a response to this thread: "WOW! I tried to join the site to personally thank everyone but i had trouble. Please let everyone know how much their kindness means to me. Truly. Brought tears to my eyes." I'm glad she saw this thread!

Avalanche Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I've mentioned it before in other threads, but adapting songs from Japanese to English is supremely hard. Rena had probably the hardest task of anyone in the cast and it came out beautifully. Bravo Ms. Strober! I can't wait for Friday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mox Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Personally, I think that she did a really amazing job, especially with the singing (I loved the power in the Nohr version of the dance). I also think that she did a really good job voicing Azura. I think that the voice, singing and speaking, is very natural to the character. I know that she may never read this, but if you do read this by any chance, Rena: Thank you for doing such an amazingly outstanding job voicing Azura, I was completely blown away! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Lightning Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I loved her voice since the E3 trailer, and since hearing much more of it in smash and recent trailers, I love it even more! I want to express to Ms. Strober how much I appreciate all the work she's put into this role, and I hope she knows that her voice completely matches the beautiful and ethereal image I have of Azura. Thank you so much for bringing Azura to life in English and I hope I can continue to hear your lovely voice in many things to come! Fire Emblem Fates is very blessed to have a singer of your dedication performing in it~! Listen to your friend Matt Mercer! He knows your performance is awesome, and I'd trust his word over a bunch of weebling bottom feeders! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limstella Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Ms. Strober, I love your singing, and your voicework for Azura! No one deserves to be hated just because 'it's not the Japanese waaaaaah' The Nohr version of Azura's song is just awesome! All of your singing, voicework, etc. Keep it up!

Dai Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I'm quite impressed with how you've done as Azura in this game, Miss Strober. Keep up the good work in your future projects as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaze Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) After E3 happened and they showed the English translation of that one cutscene with her singing, I loved it. Granted, I didn't know who Rena was when I found out who voiced Azura, but then I looked more into her and found out that she has the talent for Azura. The fact that she managed to do a phenomenal performance of a song that was translated from Japanese shows that she has what it takes. Granted, credit does go to Treehouse for managing to get a good song that still worked with the melody and tempo of the background music. Also, she's still trying to sign up on the site, but seems to be experiencing some difficulties with finishing the signing up process.

Time the Crestfallen Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) While we're on the subject of appreciation, here's her IMDb page. I haven't seen a lot of her work, but she does great in all her roles that I've seen in my opinion. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2419128/ Edited February 18, 2016 by Phillius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azunicorn Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I've had this account for a while but haven't had the guts to post anything. With that said, I really wanted to compliment Rena on her amazing voice acting and singing, and the Nohr version of the song is absolutely amazing and I have it on repeat. If you're reading this, thanks for lending your awesome voice to a series I love! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Lightning Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Supportive bff Matthew Mercer is too good for this world. Exactly! I've met him in person before, and he's one of the coolest actors I've ever had the pleasure to meet. She's very lucky to call him a friend! :) I hope I can get Rena's autograph too some day!

Crixler Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 The Japanese version of the song is great, but so is Rena's version. I've listened to the English version on repeat a lot since it was released in the Smash DLC, and once footage of the Nohr version made it to youtube, I've been listening to that a lot as well. I think that might be my favorite version. I haven't heard too much of her actual dialogue in the game (trying to avoid too many spoilers), but I've liked what I have heard. And the songs are just so good. I hope an English soundtrack gets released, with all the different variants of the song included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gardenia Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Thank you for all your hard work Rena! I'm sorry your introduction to the fanbase was hmm... Let's say less than favorable to put it mildly but a majority really do appreciate all the work and it looks like a lot of people are coming around as we get closer to release. Don't let that small vocal minority get you down, you don't deserve any hate. Good luck in future endeavors and I hope to hear you in more roles as well~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacticianwhite Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I've really liked Azura's voice since I heard it in the E3 trailer. To be honest, I didn't know much of anything about Rena beforehand, but she seems like an amazing person and her singing is really good! It makes me so sad and upset that there are some people who'd just... attack her like that! D: Translating a song while also having to keep with the tempo of the original... isn't that really hard to do? But I think she pulled it off really well! I've been listening to both versions of "Lost In Thoughts All Alone" many times. The Smash version is amazing, as well. So... good job, Rena!

Truthblade Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I thought the Nohr version was slightly jarring at first, but that was probally a case of being more used to the japanese version, since I like it now. No one deserves to get backlashed like that. She did amazingly well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
