What do you think of the newly revealed casting in Hazbin Hotel?

So right off the bat, just gonna say replacing all the indie VA's with bigger name broadway stars is a very Vivzie thing to do. It's not Chris Pratt as Mario levels of upsetting, but its still very unfortunate, especially considering that most of the new VA's sound... extremely close to what the previous VA's were going for in the pilot. So the replacement seems a bit sore or unnecessary. I've been told several times by my voice acting friend that this isn't an issue of Union Contracts, but an issue of replacements in favor of more famous talents and burned bridges amongst staff with Viv. Which, you know, if the VAs did undergo unfair treatment of any kind and didn't care leaving the project then kudos to them, but if its not the case for all of them and they were booted off without warning, I'd probably be hurt too.

But I'll be honest in saying Erika, Charlie's new VA is a better singer than the pilot singer. The pilot singer's voice was a little too high pitched, but it could have also been the fast high key song that made it difficult.

Vaggie's VA Stephanie voiced Mirabel from Encanto. Again sounds pretty close to the original VA, just maybe a pinch deeper.

Angel's VA is a bit more nasally and croaky? But only by a little.

Alastor's VA doesn't have as thick of an accent as Bosco gave him, but again, its very subtle. Husk's new VA on the other hand is straight up Keith David. Cat from Coraline and the Witch Doctor from Princess and the Frog. Husk sounded like a deeper more dead inside Rick Sanchez in the pilot but now he's gonna sound like a... suave jazz singer???? which is a very different take on his character.

Niffty's VA Kimiko is straight up Peni from Spiderverse. I think Viv said she imagined Niffty was half Japanese and from the 50s (Japanese Concentration camps ended in 1946??? I feel like that should effect Niffty's history) Her original VA wasn't Japanese, but she was bilingual and was an Japanese exchange student. So one could make the argument, that is to say if Niffty's Japanese heritage is actually going to be legitimately utilized, that Niffty got a new VA to prevent white washing. But I'm not one to representatively speak on a topic like that.

Alex Brightman is already the VA for Fizzarolli from Helluva Boss, so him as Sir Pentious makes sense. But I think Stamper the original VA already had a really good voice for that character. Perfectly quirky and evil.

So really I feel like maybe one or two characters have significant voice changes while the rest sound almost exactly as they did in the pilot. They are indeed very good VA's and singers, I'm excited they got this opportunity and I'm excited to see what they bring to Hazbin. On the other hand I just feel so awful for the indie VA's that got replaced because they're not famous broadway singers.

Like that's kind of the whole point of being Indie? Not being a big, major, famous company? Not having big major famous people?

But well, Hazbin Hotel was sold to A24 so... they're certainly not indie anymore.

@a-mag-a-day Today in 'analyzing minor beats', it's being sad about this line:

particularly the 'unless it was a subconscious thing on our part' one -

That in that blink of an eye when the world changed, and victims were being divvied up between the domains, some subconscious part of Martin saw a lonely Tim, and, though it wasn't the one he knew, reached out to pull him close

kinda weird every time i see the 911 cast do like. the emmys. hand out an award. go on a red carpet somewhere. like, intellectually, i know they're on a top rated tv show that isn't niche in the slightest. logically, i know that angela basset and peter krause are not little names. but like. sometimes i see them and realise they don't just live on my tv and they have whole careers and people know about them and its not just me and a handful of girlies on the internet. its like. regular people too

A little sketch of ramiel’s father, Valor. Life dealt him terrible situation after terrible circumstance and then chewed him up and spit him out with nothing but the memory of happier times.

This song always comes to mind when I think of him. Two people singing it too makes me [old man gripping chest in pain]

Some thoughts but i feel like ppl would appreciate or write more interesting complex non human characters more if they stop looking at them through the lens of how humans should think and act

Think theres a big difference between allegorical non human characters and literal/conceptual non human characters. I feel like we’re so much more inclined to interpret it as the first one, where “non human” elements is just a dressing but at the very core they’re still “human” in how they operate since it’s much more used in literature. (Usually used to represent a group of people or type of person)

but I find the latter more interesting to delve into… where they’re treated like a “what if scenario/concept” Like Gods, angels, demons, alien etc in theory they’re supposed to work differently than people on how they operate\their way of “thinking”. Incapability of understanding humans (because they literally cant or being so removed from them) or having inherent traits that they cannot change where the narrative has to work around it rather than trying to ‘humanize’ them. Conceptually literal and nothing more than what if this kind of being exists.
