For those of you who don't know, the English VA for Paimon (Corina Boettger) and voice of several side characters (Brandon Winckler) claim they haven't been paid for their sessions since December 2022.
Hoyoverse claims the fault rests with the recording studio, but honestly, I don't care who is at fault.
Personally, I'm not going to be paying for anything in Genshin Impact until their actors are paid, and I encourage every paying player to do the same.
what the fuck do you mean they haven’t paid corina, paimon’s voice actor, the character who undoubtedly has the most lines out of anyone in the entire game, hasn’t been paid for their work since fucking december????
Pay the fucking Genshin VAs wtf?? Like, they’re 1/2 the reason I like the game and the fact that Paimon’s VA (who has the most lines in the game BY FAR) hasn’t been paid in 6 months is ridiculous. In the meantime, does anyone know how we can help support Corina and Brandon until they get paid?

In the anime/manga Kemono Jihen, Aya (voiced in Japanese by Kaede Hondo and in English by Corina Boettger); is the sister of Shiki Tademaru and is one of the secondary characters. Aya has complicated ties between humans world and kemono; as she was born to be use as a tool, instead of raised as a proper child. She has bubblegum pink hair, tied up in a high ponytail, and purple eyes. Her chosen outfit consists of a burgundy choker collar, a matching tube top, and light blue short-shorts with spider webbing at the bottom. An oversized jacket required that matches her hair, with a gold spiderweb on it alluding to her powers; and the look is finish off with black socks and red high-top sneakers. Collect all the accessories of the Aya Tademaru costume from Kemono Jihen for Halloween and cosplay.
Well, looks like miHoYo is back on their bullshit.
Courtney Lin got replaced as Lucy in Zenless Zone Zero and Soukaku's uncredited original English VA got replaced with someone else.
Some people are claiming that Soukaku's new English VA is Corina Boettger, but I haven't found anything to confirm this.
Lin getting replaced on two games has to be an agency issue or something related to the current SAG AFTRA video game strike. Because the only time miHoYo cuts ties with any VA is if there is controversy surrounding them. And as far as I know, Lin isn't a controversial figure in the VO scene.
Again, it would have been nice if miHoYo put out any sort of statement regarding these sudden recasts, but they've just been radio silent.
I know Billy got recast, but his old VA explained that that was because miHoYo decided to go with a different recording studio for the official release.
Please don't harass the new VA's, it's not their fault that they were put in a shitty situation.
if any of u guys use twitter or discord and interact with the genshin community on either please be aware elliot gindi has been making burner accounts to message people, especially minors, on both (as confirmed by corina boettger) id suggest turning off dms outside of friends and if u r a minor please dont display ur age anywhere.
if you were out of the loop about elliot gindi here is a thread about it. trigger warnings are attached to the top of the thread. my heart goes out to the victims and please be aware he is still active so there doesnt have to be anymore victims.
The English dub for the Digimon Adventure 2020 reboot just dropped
[Tweet]
The English dub cast for the 8 kids and the Digimon:
Tai Kamiya: Zeno Robinson
Matt Ishida: AJ Beckles
Sora Takenouchi: Cherami Leigh
Izzy Izumi: Anne Yatco
Mim Tachikawa: Suzie Yeung
Joe Kido: Daman Mills
T.K. Takaishi: Corina Boettger
Kari Kamiya: Ryan Bartley
Agumon: Ben Diskin
Gabumon: Dave B. Mitchell
Biyomon: Tara Sands
Tentomon: Christopher Swindle
Palmon: Corina Boettger
Gomamon: Alex Cazares
Patamon: Lizzie Freeman
Gatomon: Erine Yvette
Notable roles the voice actors are known for (in my opinion):
Zeno Robinson as "Tai":
My main take-away here is "Hunter" from The Owl House (since I just binged that and the trauma is real) and "Go" from Pokémon Journey's, but he already did a lot of amazing things and I love him.
AJ Beckles as "Matt":
Most notably for me was "Hop" from Pokémon Journey's - and generally the fact that we will hear a loooot of recent Pokémon voices.
Cherami Leigh as Sora:
Okay, her list is INSANELY long and I absolutely cannot wait to listen to her, this is some pretty amazing stuff we have right here and she deserves it:
"Asuna" from Sword Art Online
"Sailor Venus/Minako Aino" from Sailor Moon Viz Dub/Crystal/Eternal/Cosmos (MORE SAILOR MOON CONNECTIONS!!!)
"Chloe" from Pokémon Journey's
"Michiru" from Brand New Animal
"Miyo Sasaki" from "A Whisker Away" (which is amazing, since Natsuki Hanae plays her love interest in Japanese)
"Alina Grey" from Magia Record
"Tome Kurata" from Mob Psycho 100
"Sarada Uchiha" from Boruto
MOST INTERESTINGLY: "Maki Himekawa" AND "Piyomon" in Digimon Adventure Tri, so we have old ties after all!
Anne Yatco as "Izzy":
Gaaaaaah, I reallly cannot wait to listen to her. Again, happy that we got a voice actress for him again and that she did a fair share of female AND also boyish roles (even though I am not really familiar with the latter).
"Kinemi Miki" from Blue Period
"Nobara Kugisaki" from Jujutsu Kaisen
"Sabine Cheng" from Miraculous Ladybug
Suzie Yeung as Mimi:
She actually did a lot, I just didn't KNOW a lot...
"Makima" from Chainsaw Man
Young "Kyou Soma" from the Fruits Basket reboot
Daman Mills as "Joe":
He also did a lot I didn't know, but again, reeeeeally exciting stuff.
"Yotasuke Takahashi" in Blue Period
"Kaworu Nagisa" in the Neon Genesis Evangelion Rebuild series (that made me scream again, since they gave him Yamato's VA's in German)
"N" in Pokémon Masters (also other minor roles in Pokémon, not surprising)
Corina Boettger as "T.K." AND Palmon:
"Tatsumaki" from One Punch Man
"Sailor Tin Nyanko" from Sailor Moon Stars
"Meiyui Chun" from Magia Record
Ryan Bartley as "Kari":
"Ram" from Re:Zero
"Allister" from Pokémon Journey's
"Sana Futaba" from Magia Record
"Candice" and "Corinna" from Pokémon Masters
"Angela" from Carole & Tuesday
"Takane Tsubomi" from Mob Psycho 100
"Yusa / Misa" from Charlotte
"Rei Ayanami" from the Neon Genesis Evangelion re-dub (THIS CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD THE MOST)
One of my oldest and proudest commissions by a buddy who used to go by Jostergos445#8011 on Discord! I've gotten her signed by as much of the AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES cast and staff as I could, and I'm really proud of the result! I commissioned this during the promotional era of AI1 and based the ideas off of the snippets of PSYNCIN' IN THE PaiN and the lyrics of Invincible Rainbow Arrow we had at the time :). It ends up really having a dreamlike Somnium quality!
