Professor Layton: US and UK Voices

Professor Layton: US and UK Voices

layton voice actingOn the last episode of the GameCola Podcast, we discussed the fact that Luke (from the Professor Layton series) has a different voice in the US and UK releases.  My latest Layton walkthrough is for the American version, and I have already received several complaints from British people who think the American voice for Luke is “utter rubbish,” which is ”not cricket.”  I don’t see what insects have to do with anything, but I decided to make a video, comparing the European and American versions of the game.

Discussion Questions:

  • Why does British Luke sound like someone is holding his nose shut?
  • Why did they get cut out all references to Pandora’s Box in the American version?
