In GSL game, each game contestants are being announces their ID during the beginning of the match. In GSL Season 2 changed voice from male street fighter voice to IU female singer voice (South Korean singer IU pure vocals). Which make her popularity increased even more popular during Korean as well Globally.
Some collection of the produced sound be be hear below. (not sure if TL allows embed code)
I think that they should have the male and female, then the Pro SC2 Players get to choose which voice they want to be introduced in I know im a genious.
Ow, the sound bytes hurt, especially if you've been listening to silence for the past two hours (not because of her voice, but the sudden bursts of background music - FREAKING CYMBALS REALLY)..
I like her voice, but it sounds a little too.. homely? Don't know how to describe it.
i'd much rather have her say my name than some street fighter dude. Both were sweet though, but i prefer her quite a bit. Not just cuz its sexy, but it honestly sounds legit.
IU just doesnt sound good, it's too soft. SF announcer voice was just a baller, in your face and a bit over the top for some humor as well. Definitely prefer SF announcer voice :D

as awesome as the street fighter voice is, it's not like he has to do every season, that would get old. It's refreshing to hear the totally opposite kind of voice
When she announced "Happiness" I thought it was extremely cute.
I think she's supposed to be more of a surreal voice, which would fit a lot more if they had a different sound effect instead of the WOOOSH before she speaks. I still like it, but no more/less than the other guy (which frankly doesn't sound like Street Fighter at all if you ask me)

thats because everyone in korea sounds like street fighter guy (atleast to us lol) when saying names in english... its a novelty for us to hear it tho. If you live there, you wouldn't even notice it
If they're going to change the voices instead of having the SF dude every season, it logically raises the question - who's going to be the next voice for GSL3?
They've done the deep male voice and now the high-pitched female voice, so... robotic male voice?

I remembered you and wheat using the epicness of the cheesy intro/SF voice in Teamliquid Open.. it's so funny that I'm going to emulate it on our Local tourneys (if ever I cast em shits)

Now that might beat Street Fighter :p.
"On the right as the red Zerg we have:" FruitDealer ! "And on the left his opponent, the blue Terran:" ChaosTheory ! Does that punk feel lucky ?
IU has a great voice for singing cutesy things, doesn't suit the GSL announcements, they should get whoever voiced Tychus in the campaign to do them :D.

When playing street fighter, does the street fighter voice EVER get old?

User was warned for this post
this coming from a guy in switz.....ur an asshole
wtf has that to do with me being swiss?
hahaha wow classic. racist guy says asians look like they got down-syndrome, then gets mad when someone says something vague about swiss people. it still baffles me how some people can be so hypocritical and close minded.
IU has a really nice singing voice and has a great voice for adjutant. i hope someone posts sound bites for the GSL 1 announcer cuz i need something to compare her to.
You can hardly hear/understand what they are saying now. I have to wait for tasteless to repeat it most of the time (even though I obviously know who's playing before I watch the match).
I've never heard of her before but from the clips posted it's established she can sing. She can't however compare to the SF4 guy in announcing players. =( Damn cute tho.
