Hmmm... I guess it was a little harsh to put all 4 voices onto 1 person alone.

Ruby's aside, Yang, Weiss, and Blake both have nearly the same deep voice. The one that's especially disappointing was Weiss, where you can clearly hear that, well, it's just a voiceover. There's absolutely not a single trace of the... bitchiness? Arrogance? That she should have there.

It's like I'm watching Doraemon in my country's language. They make 'Hahaha' sound so lazy and grating to the ears I wish I could strangle the voice actor. This wasn't as bad, but obviously it's a huge strain on the voice actor to try and keep within the vocal range, while not sounding like the others, while still trying to convey the needed emotions properly.

Since Ruby's the only one that's high vocal, not only she sounded really cute, it really fit her mental age and kawaii image. Also, she sounded a hell lot more natural as compared to the others. I suppose that I can give Yang and Blake a pass, but Weiss' was just really, really bad.

They need to get someone else to voice Weiss at least.
