Is he doing other work on the side? Is his practicing to become a better player taking too much time? Maybe its studying up on each player and map individually? I just don't really see how it takes "too much time", but I may be wrong. That's the thing. It doesn't. They don't have good control over their voices. As a result, lose of voice and sickness. They have had no broadcasting training whatsoever. This is all done on the fly. Doing 4 hour sessions a day can be really draining; however, if your well-trained you can do it no problem. At least they're getting a little better at it. On February 22 2011 06:57 Ryo wrote: Her accent is okay, you just have to get used to it. Just like how Asian native speakers of English have to get used to American accents. It's sad when people start saying things like "she didn't learn the language right" or "teach her some English". Her biggest threat is enunciation. When she goes into overdrive, that's the killer. She's really got to slow it down. | ||

Her thick accent is going to be with her forever, and for the majority it's just not possible to look past. And that doesn't sound sad to you? Her accent; doesn't come close to "thick" - she is perfectly understandable.. Maybe it is just me; i just don't get why people are so annoyed.. | ||

I also think she over analyze the match ups like teaching boys how to play starcraft. It seems like she is shadowing her cast with her broad knowledge of the game. I just have problem with because sometimes it doesn't relate to the actual game. I also uses headphone since its late night but she will suddenly scream and talks really fast (battles or player doing something different). | ||

Is that not reason enough to reconsider? After 1 day? You want them to reconsider their choice after ONE day? Seriously, do you have any idea how many people would never have a job if they were evaluated on their first days' work? | ||

I'm not here to bash on her and say that she is terrible or anything, but I just didn't think she was a GSL quality caster by any means. what is a gsl-quality caster? lololol am i an idiot or does that not mean a caster who is on the level of GSL casters... in which case she is???? blablalbalba"letmefindan insult duh blah blah"blablabla come on, at least be smart when you bash her, rather than just do it for the sake of doing it. Some constructive criticism or something useful. | ||

Changing an accent isn't something that is going to change in the next couple of days... It's not her knowledge or her humor or w/e that is getting to me... its something that is VERY difficult to correct, and I doubt it will be corrected (if ever) in a reasonable amount of time. edit: I sound so bigoted when I say "corrected", maybe "englishized" is a better made-up word? : ] | ||

Seriously, do you have any idea how many people would never have a job if they were evaluated on their first days' work? People wanted them to re-consider from day 1 based on her output (Kelly has a ton of material out there, you just have to know where to look). With that said, there is no way she can learn to enunciate properly in 1 month's time. It is literally impossible; however, there are ways around this like: - talking slower - be direct; get right to the point (the less she says the better) - taking cues from co-casters If you guys listened to the way she said, "Hey guys!" and compare it to the rest of the interview, you would notice there is a huge difference. It's light and day. | ||

Voice isn't screechy for me, the only time it gets even close to annoying is when she gets excited, which I'm sure will go under control as nervousness settles down (and I can tell she was nervous, although it seemed to wane over the course of the VODs). My only complaint is that she isn't Artosis, or even Day[9]. It's unfair because it's hard to be at their level. If she's trying to improve, however, it will show over time. If not, then she should get fired and they will need a new caster. When the top casters are so good, you need to at least keep up with them. But she will never be as good as them and that's a stigma she's going to have with at least one person who watches her. EDIT: Forgot the obligatory "She's hot" comment, my mistake. | ||

Obviously I don't expect her to change her accent, at least not significantly. What I am suggesting is giving it at least a little time before casting judgment. Perhaps you will grow to find the accent bearable? And at that point, her personality and what she brings to the table would shine through? All I'm saying is that she AT LEAST deserves a chance to improve AND give time for people to adjust to the change. I fully realize that you (and many people) may feel that they won't change their minds and she will always be 'unbearable' to watch - but as much as you think and say that, only time can tell. She at least deserves a chance. | ||

Why does everything have to be over analyzed on this website to the point where to have a respected opinion you need to post a 5 paragraph long arguement? Get over yourself. Edit - Really what more would you expect from a "respected member of the community"? Him to explain accents he does like and how they differ from hers? If someone doesn't like it - then they don't like it. It's not brain surgery | ||
