Sylus VA Appreciation

[u/Oop_awwPants]

I understand why the English VAs are all anonymous, and I'm not asking for a reveal or a self-identification.

But sir, you keep outdoing yourself with each new banner event, and I'm trying to get my jaw off the floor just from the previews. Holy hole in a donut, I wish I could send you a gift basket, or cookies, or a room full of puppies.

May you always sleep on the cool side of the pillow and may your socks always be dry.

[u/Artistic_Leave_]

My first thought when I saw the extended previews for the EN version was this man better hide 😅 I don't mean that in a bad way. His voice is amazing! I love his interpretation of Sylus and its clear he does a lot to bring him to life so to speak. As always I hope he stays hidden because he is a gem and some can take parasocial to the extreme.

[u/Beelzebubs_Bread → u/Artistic_Leave_]

I think it adds to the vibe that he's anonymous

it makes the voice truly sylus's

I feel like a reveal, attaching sylus's voice to a real human face.. would be kinda disappointing.

this kinda makes him feel more likable as a character because its HIS voice

(if that makes sense lol)

[u/KrisGine → u/Beelzebubs_Bread]

Yeah, I've seen some where they compare the character's personality to the VA too which feels kinda weird. Also, you can obsses over the character, no one will stop you because it's a character that solely exist in fiction. But some people can't separate them from the one that gave it voice, so being anonymous in a game like love and deepspace, I think it is best.

[u/blck_dragonzzz → u/KrisGine]

It makes me think about the whole Ghost from COD and the reveal of his VA situation, the way people treated him was so sad

[u/Artistic_Leave_ → u/blck_dragonzzz]

Wait really? I didn't hear about this. That is real sad 😔

[u/blck_dragonzzz → u/Artistic_Leave_]

Tiktok's COD fans were disappointed that Samuel Roukin was Ghost's VA, because according to them (COD fans), he wasn't handsome enough (especially since they had a very precise idea of what he looked like). Anyway, most of them did a 360 and said he was kinda fine That was really sad but it didn't surprise me

[u/Artistic_Leave_ → u/blck_dragonzzz]

Showcases the downsides of a reveal. No VA will ever fit to how others expect them to look. If only people learned to appreciate their talent and work rather than their looks.

[u/Artistic_Leave_ → u/Beelzebubs_Bread]

I get what you mean. Personally I can distance character from voice actor. There are voice actors I absolutely love in the JP side, like Kenjiro Tsuda and Junichi Suwabe, but I know not everyone can separate and that's fair.

[u/GlitteringThing7498 → u/Artistic_Leave_]

I think it's good we dont know who it is. Sylus' girlies are extra feral, they would hound the poor man! He's doing amazing job. I fell in love with his voice from day 1.

[u/Artistic_Leave_ → u/GlitteringThing7498]

His voice is sensual, no denying it. If the extended preview comments on Insta are anything to go by, many would indeed 😅

[u/toastea0 → u/GlitteringThing7498]

I literally got into the game because I saw a streamer clip reacting to the misty invasion cutscenes with Sylus.

[u/GlitteringThing7498 → u/toastea0]

Oh misty invasion was awesome! I was happy I got a card. It was my favorite one to be honest.

But I really enjoyed and anticipated his introduction too, I was a Zayne girlie before that. As soon as I saw Sylus he had me in a chokehold. Love at first sight 😂 He was everything for the dark romance lover like me.

I still love Zayne, I will pray that by some miracle I can pull him home too with this event along with Sylus.

[u/toastea0 → u/GlitteringThing7498]

I love Zayne and Sylus. I hope we both get their cards without too much effort. 😊

[u/GlitteringThing7498 → u/toastea0]

Who will be your 3rd selection? Since we will have to select 3.

My thinking:

1. Sylus, Zayne, Rafayel - cause I like Raf too but the downside is I might pull him first and my priority are Sylus and Zayne

2. Sylus, Zayne, Xav - cause it might be harder to pull Xavier home, he is wildly popular, thus odds being grater for Sylus or Zayne?

But if I pull Xav, then I will lose out on Raf chance and still risk Sylus and Zayne. What to do?!

[u/toastea0 → u/GlitteringThing7498]

I'm not really a big fan of Xavier or Rafael sadly lol. They're too boyish looking for my interests. Though all their cutscenes are very nice so I won't be disappointed.

[u/GlitteringThing7498 → u/toastea0]

I feel this way about Xavier for sure. But Rafayel grew on me when he turns to Lemurian 😂

I was just curious cause we have to pick 3.

I think ultimately my 3 fav are going to be Sylus, Zayne, Caleb.

[u/toastea0 → u/Artistic_Leave_]

Honestly so true about the parasocial aspects. It happened to Neil Newbon the voice actor for Astarion in BG3. Some weird people were sexualizing him and being creepy.

[u/Mjain101]

I sincerely pray his pillow is cold on both sides

[u/jenniuinely]

His voice acting during the live stream was amazing too!! The collab they did with the airlines when he reads the letter was so peak

[u/Eolssu → u/jenniuinely]

Yes!! ;;; It made me so emotional. The delivery was so lovely.

[u/ellijahdelossantos → u/jenniuinely]

Where can I watch the livestreams?

[u/BGBWolf → u/ellijahdelossantos]

It's in their youtube channel still up. Just go to their channel and click on Live and it's there Cosmic Encounter Pt. 1

[u/PlatinumTheHitgirl → u/ellijahdelossantos]

I don't think it's available anymore, they didn't upload it on their YouTube 😔

[u/GlitteringThing7498]

I would pay to listen to Sylus' VA for hours on end. No name or face reveal necessary :D

[u/Oop_awwPants → u/GlitteringThing7498]

YES. I have a thing for deep voices and I would empty my wallet.

[u/GlitteringThing7498 → u/Oop_awwPants]

girl i feel you. same 💖

[u/Various_Pension_2788 → u/GlitteringThing7498]

If he had a Patreon I'd sign up so fast

[u/GlitteringThing7498 → u/Various_Pension_2788]

omg I would have to as well. It would be the only Patreon I ever paid for 😂

[u/Schmeganovic]

Yes I'm glad they keep them all a secret. People can be very creepy and will easily overstep boundaries unfortunately.

And Sylus VA? You can't convince me he that he doesn't have experience with spicy audio recordings. His "hums" and sighs just seem to experienced lmao.

[u/Various_Pension_2788 → u/Schmeganovic]

I fully believe this as well after listening to his secret times! If not, he's got a natural talent for those, um, intimate moments... Like, the way he sometimes growls or when he barely talks above a whisper, gets me every damn time!

[u/kyonieisbored → u/Schmeganovic]

honestly, i think so too. it could be just a coincidence but i feel like i've heard his voice somewhere before and i wouldn't be surprised if he had done some spicy recording before LaDS, his voice is perfect for that and he seems to be experienced in voicing those types of scenarios.

[u/Schmeganovic → u/kyonieisbored]

RIGHT???? I feel like I've heard it before too. But maybe it's just similar. Safe to say I wouldn't be able to trace it back tho.

[u/kyonieisbored → u/Schmeganovic]

same, although a lot of people say that his voice sounds very familiar but no one seems to know exactly where they've heard it before haha maybe he just has a lot of range, who knows?

[u/Oop_awwPants → u/Schmeganovic]

If other...works...existed, I would be torn between grabby hands and covering my ears to protect my ovaries.

[u/weesmallbear]

I genuinely can't wait for the card story just to hear him flex his VA skills even more 

[u/saucekaylover]

He continues to do outdo himself again and again

[u/Various_Pension_2788 → u/saucekaylover]

Genuinely gets better and better, I'm addicted to that man's voice

[u/deepspacezombie]

He and Rafayel are genuinely the best in the English cast, they like neverrrr miss 😫😫 Esp Sylus, I'm always blown away by the deliveries on his lines. He's capable of putting such subtle emotions in his words, he's really amazing. Like I'm not even a Sylus girly but I always switch to the EN dub when I watch his content.

[u/Beelzebubs_Bread → u/deepspacezombie]

i fell in love when with his delivery of

"the fish are... super fat.."

[u/Various_Pension_2788 → u/deepspacezombie]

Rafayel's VA is soooooooo underrated! I was a Sylus girlie through and through, but his nuanced acting made me super fall for Raf. There is always so much hurt and pain in everything he says, he really feels like he's lived a thousand lifetimes.

[u/FoxCoins → u/deepspacezombie]

Indeed🩵 Always enjoyed Rafayel's VA's talented range of different emotions and tones depending on the scene. Many thought he had a different voice actor in some of his myths and memories... Lol. Well I do sort of know the va, he is just that talented. As for Sylus va, damn.. same thing there, just the way he can get you to utterly feel every emotion.

[u/GlitteringThing7498 → u/FoxCoins]

I like Rafayel's voice but Sylus speaking destroys me. His voice holds so much power, his confidence, the fact he never shies away. I love that he is absolutely fearless. Plus his Secret times oml... 🥵 He is one spicy chili

[u/FoxCoins → u/GlitteringThing7498]

Haha I love Rafayel's a bit more, not to say Sylus doesn't manage to get me a fluttering heart when he whispers next to your ear... Hm. For me... Rafie is love and Sylus is my pure desire 🥵 Did you hear Rafayel's affinity 125 secret times... Lord. Yep they are both kings in the va world

[u/GlitteringThing7498 → u/FoxCoins]

No I haven't! I am not that far ahead with any of them and I try not to listen to too much spoilers😭 both Zayne and Sylus are in high 80s only. Rafayel started growing on me lately with his lemurian memories, when his eyes gets all glowy blue and he gets handsy 😅

But I am a dark romance lover at heart, so for me Sylus all the way, before him I was into Zayne. They are all special in their way, Infold really made sure to target every type of girl 😅

[u/FoxCoins → u/GlitteringThing7498]

Ah I see then I won't spoil! Haha but Rafayel isn't innocent, just saying xD I get what you mean tho! And yes they are incredibly good in making a man that fits for each woman. That's what I love about the game

[u/GlitteringThing7498 → u/FoxCoins]

When he went all Lemurian on MC with his fever and stuff he made me look at him in a new light 😅 It's okay I don't mind written spoilers, I just don't listen to full secret times on youtube for example. I love all of them in the end even if they are not my main 🥰

[u/FoxCoins → u/GlitteringThing7498]

Haha, well it's "lemurian mood Rafayel" in those secret times because of MC using the famous perfume again... So yeah, it's spicy. Bet you will like it when you unlock it😝 True, I mean Rafayel is my main with Sylus being second in command but I do enjoy the other two nevertheless. 😊

[u/misaka-1376 → u/deepspacezombie]

Yesss!! The part where he says "you don't want me to leave" was my favourite, bevause at first I thought he was teasing her because that's their banter, but when i watched it the second time, he was genuinely surprised that she didn't want him to leave. I love how can he show different emotions with just slghr changes in his delivery

[u/strippedpink]

He's absolutely incredible. All of the Sylus VA's really impress me so much with the way they interpret him and bring him to life... i know it's just a job but it feels like they truly love him as much as us haha.

[u/kyonieisbored]

i watched all of the previews for his card in all languages and all of them are good, although they all have a slightly different interpretation. however, this time around i feel like the EN VA takes the cake. he went all out and his interpretation of that scene sounds so realistic??? i don't know how he does it but honestly, props to him, he always outdoes himself somehow.

[u/eliantasena]

It's a guilty thought of mine to know his VA only to know if he's done audiobooks cause I wouldn't mind listening to that voice in 10 (or more) book series/installments — 4 hrs a book tops. Idc if it's 18+ or not. I just seriously love the talent of that voice for bringing a character to life.

Then again, respect for the anonymity of it all.

[u/simmilik → u/eliantasena]

he does not do any audiobook. he's quite famous in the video game genre. i recognized his voice right away. didn't realize the VA were a secret for this game 😅

[u/CallMe_Chrissy]

His voice is.. yes. BUT I DO GET IT!! Think of someone like Neil Newborn, who plays Astarion from Baldur’s Gate. He gets a lot of Fangirl attention. And while some people like that, others don’t. And let’s face it y’all.. if we knew who Sylus’s VA was we would riot.

[u/Chemical-Ad6296]

MY EARS ARE PREGNANT TOO!!!!!

[u/nottakentaken]

I really hope they're getting paid a shit ton, they really do deserve it

[u/N-bangtan]

Sylus' VA makes the character come to life. We are truly blessed. The nuance in each card by the VA, the tone, EVERYTHING makes me FERAL. I hope he stays anonymous forever, I would hate it if people found him and harassed him til he quit.

[u/cerin--amroth]

He’s sooo good. I’ve got a crush on all their voices tbh 🫠

[u/Kuura_]

Yess he is so talented!

[u/Lan_ying78]

He slays everytime

[u/Separate_Trade_8546]

Honestly he’s really out here doing the most 😩 he’s just so amazing at really bringing life and emotion to Sylus aaaa

[u/trustedoctopus]

I don’t regret spending a penny on this game because I know that my money goes towards supporting Sylus and his VA. If he’s ever revealed lord help him because I feel like most of us want to send him gifts of appreciation for bringing our favorite dragon to life 🥹

[u/AtomFoxx19]

Sylus' VA can read me a bedtime story every night :3

[u/Boogie_p0p → u/AtomFoxx19]

Sylus's VA can read me a pancake recipe and I'll still love it.

[u/ErisAzaryl]

To Mr. Sylus VA,

The moment I saw his design in the trailer, I was already sweating because Sylus was just my type. But I was already a Zayne girlie and I was resolved to stay with him.

But then I heard your voice.

And that was it.

Thank you for bringing Sylus to life and for bringing your A game to each and every scene with him.

I hope Infold is showering you with lots of money, I hope your pillows are always cold at night, and I hope that most of all, you are happy.

[u/I_Want_Spinach]

I love this VA so much. He is SO TALENTED. T.T

[u/Kisabys]

At this point, I’m glad the VA’s are anonymous. Because Sylus’ VA will 100% get jumped by rabid girlies. Me included 👀

People ought to stop digging them up. It's not good and might even get the VAs in trouble plus I noticed when VAs get revealed and get any semblance of fame they suddenly get into all sorts of controversies. We don't want that in lads.

[u/Oop_awwPants → u/[deleted]]

I support the VAs having the choice to reveal themselves if they want to, but I don't think that's our choice to make.

Yeah nah, "DM me and I'll tell you who the VA is" was kinda weird and creepy. I said what I said.

[u/Ko0ei → u/Oop_awwPants]

It's literally to avoid odd and insulting comments like this one. I can just type it here because it's not a state secret, i just wanted to avoid arguing knowing some people.

I never even realized they were anonymous! That's pretty great, honestly. Although I'd be lying if I said I wasn't curious... I just wonder if any of these voices have also worked on/in anime lol

[u/Branypoo]

This is too funny and cute!! 😂😂❤️ Sylus’ voice actor has us in a firm chokehold <333

[u/naivaro]

I don't need to know who he is, only that he is getting very well paid for the sublime art he is giving the world.

[u/mist1e]

I'm absolutely obsessed with his acting, I don't think I would be into Sylus's character this much if it wasn't for VA. He truly brings Sylus to life by putting his soul in his work.

He's my #1 favourite VA, along with Andrew Wincott.

[u/Zestyclose-Bat9130]

Amen! My lord.........

[u/Cachapitaconqueso]

I didn't know they were all annonymous :0

[u/Oop_awwPants → u/Cachapitaconqueso]

It has to do with another game that Infold has, a previous English VA cast had to be completely recast because fans couldn't keep the game and real life separate.

[u/GlitteringThing7498 → u/Oop_awwPants]

It's truly for the best. But I wouldn't mind if they had a special designated social media, without revealing who they are or their faces.

[u/Cachapitaconqueso → u/Oop_awwPants]

Oooh which game? Noe i'm curious. Btw thank you!

[u/ThorsHammerMewMEw → u/[deleted]]

Yes. It was for the Taiwan incident. Not because of a parasocial aspect.

[u/KingLeviAckerman]

Everyone's simply pregs after this update. The next quad better be us taking care of babies with the LIs and being all domestic and fluffy sht😩 we go full circle

[u/simmilik]

you guys don't know his voice? i know. recognized him from another game right away.
