Funny you should mention that. There's this thing called voice direction. And this was incredibly racist voice direction. Here's a transcript of the actress actually talking:You speak for all black women? I assume it is a black voice actor playing the role, and therefore the mannerisms are authentic to the actor.
"What is the difference between Medea and my blackness? I think the issue with Deus Ex, again I did not have a visual of the character I was playing. Possibly because the roles I played were not major. So the idea that there are characters for priority does not exist, AS if I were the main character who is allowed to develop this."
Hmmmmm
Hmmmmmmmm
HMMMMMMMMMMMMM
I mean surely she has a positive opinion on the character after all she played the char----
"Personally I was under the impression that the voice that seems to be under the stereotypical depiction of blackness was the voice of the homeless character."
Ok ok, well maybe i'm just making assumptions and projecting. Maybe i'm misinterpreting her words and she really DID put a lot of herself and her mannerisms into the ro---
"Again. After the first character they called me in for, I could've made a better match as to who that lifeless character (Letitia) was and brought to life if these character's were of value to the story and the director's 'point of view.' My character was not that important. And that is where the industry fails actors. I was payed a full days wage for working, no more than, an hour and a half. I would've gladly stayed for eight hours to bring these characters to life."
🤔 Next time you decide to wag your finger at people taking issue with this kinda shit maybe do some research first. 🤔
