I never liked Keeley for Lara, ESPECIALLY not for reboot Lara. She's way too upper class sounding to the point of almost snobby, which doesn't suit Lara for me and never has.

I guess, listening to Shelley compere again she's not all that mature sounding. Perhaps, I think a lot of the problem of Lara not evolving is the delivery of the writing, poor as it might be at times, perhaps a change of VA could help with this element and who better to show Lara finally evolving than the original person who delivered Lara to us?

ok, come at me, but I think Shelly is the worst Lara VA ever. her acting lacked emotion, lacked the badassness, lacked everything, it was really one note.
Keeley was the ultimate Lara VA, followed by Judith and then Jonell. Camilla is meh honestly but I think they should keep her for consistency's sake. |

I agree that Camilla should stay, but for God's sake, she needs to work on that accent. She sounds like she's making a parody of a British accent. She's British herself and she just sounds more natural when speaking, maybe because her accent is mixed since she lives in LA, but when she's voicing her Lara, it sounds... contrived.

I do agree with jayjay, at least as far as his opinion on Camilla's VA work on BT. Camilla didn't do too good in that, to the point she sounded bored. I was disappointed, because,mostly, she did find in the main game. She was occasionally off: "sigh, relic no. 308...". Last edited by Rai; 07-01-17 at 23:35. |

I think Judith was always much more monotonic than Shelley was. Shelley's only crime to me was that, ironically given what I said before, her voice sounded to young and, I don't know why, innocent for Lara.

It's not about the accent, it's her voice that annoys me. Besides being too child-like for my taste, she fails to convey subtle emotions (or maybe that's how she's directed, I don't know). I really think her delivery is exagerated, and her dramatic lines always sound like a parody of some sort. I do like when she's talking about relics, though. And some of her in game dialogue is not so bad when she's commenting about her surroundings. |
