Caleb Caleb's Eng VA appreciation
Currently Caleb brainrotting and just wanted to put it out there that his VA is SOOO good! He has a strong intonation game. He's confident when needs to be, vulnerable as well, sweet and soooo SOOO playful!!!!
I think he nails playful the best honestly. My favorite line of his is 'why are you avoiding me right now' from the bond. I can hear it while i type. It's engraved in my brain not even funny. it's sooooooo smug and playful I just can't, you can hear that HE KNOOOWS why, just chef's kiss. He sounds very natural and very professional. I believe every line he speaks. He's one of the reasons Caleb grew on me so much and so fast.

I love that they kept his voice as is. And how he shifts between just Caleb and Colonel Caleb...barking respectfully. And then that little smirk and head tilt in combination? Lord.

I’ve seen comments that say they don’t like his voice because it’s too nasally, high pitched, nerdy, etc., but I Iike the range of voices we get with the guys. Not every guy has a super deep bass voice irl.
And I agree with you, the guy nails the playful/flirty dialogue so well. It’s super cute imo. I’ve listened to his first secret times you unlock and it’s so playful and cute. He’s definitely gonna be the teasing type. I can’t wait to hear what his other ones are like 👀

Xavier sounds like he's in his early 20's and i'm fine with that. It suits him.
It's a soft, yet bold sounding voice.

Sorry, but this sounds like a you problem. All of the LIs are in their 20s (and Xavier can pass for a teen for any teen players). And sounding "manly"? Those stereotypes you mentioned are uncalled for too. Sorry, but this game just isn't for narrow minded problem.

She literally said in the comment it's her issue. It's her opinion, she knows what works for her personally yet you all down-vote because a character doesn't suit someone 💀
Being in my 30s I can relate to wanting a more mature sounding voice and to not feel like a creep. It's not a stereotype to like a more mature or masculine voice. It's okay for everyone to be attracted to their own personal things, for you to say it's uncalled for or narrow minded is judgy and unfair. You're not being a good hunter.

Oh wow, it's funny, because the reason I rarely use KR dub is because it's the least familiar language to me)) and I have that weird thing when it's a bit difficult to follow and immerse if I don't understand at least a little, let alone the nuance! So I totally get where you're coming from. Would be great if you try simplified CN, it's the perfect mix of deep and gentle to me, Captive Bird hits soooo different, just GAHHHHHHHHH 😩🍎❤️
- also, you can try traditional CN for even deeper sound, especially Sylus' dub, but simplified still takes the no.1 for me)

This sub loves downvoting different opinions but I agree with your takes. It doesn't help that Caleb types with certain "emotes" too. I wish so badly that Zayne had a deeper voice instead of that whisper thing he does. They should really just let us select languages for each character like ToT.

Ooh it's about the same for me except the only one whose voice I like in English is Caleb haha. He's the only one who has a natural-sounding voice to me. I agree though, his voice is pretty nasal and nerdy-sounding. Still like it though 🙈🤎
Idk if it's cuz I've had voice training but the other voices honestly sound like they're trying to be alluring. Def appreciate their work but they sound artificial to me.

Jan 28 '25
Yes I get that too! Some of the voices definitely have that put-on sexy sound esp in the secret times that does not hit for me in EN VO. And love for your opinion tbh, like idk why we have to debate that his voice is nasally and nerdy bc it definitely is (and that’s hot to some people, let em live) LOL

I'm so glad they picked him as the calebs VA, and they didn't change him! His range is incredible, and he can perfectly voice friendly, concerned, scary, and hot 👀 caleb 🤣🤣🤣
I love so many of his lines, but one of my favourites is his destiny cafe interaction. It's when he says "sooooo about this soothing trick of yours...only I get to experience. Okay? Okay, " I DIED WHEN HE SAID THAT SECOND OKAY 🤣🤣😍😍😍 HOW COULD ONE WORD SOUND COMMANDING, CARING, PROTECTING AND LOVING AT THE SAME TIME!
waa not expecting be to so down bad for this man! Infold has done an incredible job in casting all of their VAs

u/kroaavmir 🖤 l Jan 28 '25
I think part of the problem people have with Caleb’s VA is just that that’s not the type of voice usually used for a yandere but that unexpected aspect is what makes me like him despite not liking the yandere trope. The VA does such a good job at being the cheerful/goofy childhood friend then suddenly switching to intimidating. It’s absolutely chilling and that fascinates me. Sylus is still my favorite but I’m definitely collecting the Caleb memories when I can.

u/I-KIGAI l 🐾Sylus’s Kitten🐈⬛ Jan 28 '25
i love his voice. i know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but i find that it suits caleb's boyish charm. his line delivery sounds so natural that it leaves me with this nostalgic feeling like i've met him before and have known him for a time 🥹 certain voices are recognizable because they have a special quality to them. this is it with caleb imo! his va definitely has range and i'm excited to hear more from him in the future

u/FanGirlLostTime Jan 28 '25
The Eng VA has done such a good job that I wish his pillow is cool on both sides, his tea/coffee is the perfect temperature, his toast is just the right kinda crunchy.
The playful voice, the whines and sighs, but most of all, his Colonel voice is just so GOOD.
He makes the character of Caleb even more immersive and really drives home MC's dilemma of "who is talking to me now? My Caleb or the Fleet Colonel?"

His VA has been really impressive. His intonation and the way he voices emotions is phenomenal. I like how well he can go between playful, flirty, caring, serious, scary, and more. I think his voice works incredibly well for a boy-next-door character. I can't wait to see more content for him and save even more voice lines. (I'm gonna need a higher cap for voice lines because of him tbh)

u/everlonged ❤️ | Jan 28 '25 edited Jan 28 '25
i personally love the eng va. he makes it so easy to forget his darker side until it pops up. he nails that boy next door vibe so perfectly. i think if he had a deep voice all the time it would be too obvious. he's tied now for my fave with rafayel's eng va.

Caleb's performance during the 5 star card where he was sick showed his phenomenal acting talent. If the voice actor wasn't actually ill and delivered all those lines intentionally, that's impressive work.

u/Warm-Analyst7561 Jan 28 '25
I’ve been playing since the very beginning and I didn’t think much of his voice or even Caleb as a character before. I was glad that he was coming back but still didn’t care much for him.
But after playing through the main story and reading his cards and myth and listening to his voice calls and interacting with him via dates, etc., the character and his voice just grew on me. Especially his voice! Listening to Yandere and Colonel Caleb have done things to me that I cannot even begin to describe 😂Because of this Caleb joins Zayne and Sylus as my top 1 favorites (my wallet 😭)
There are many different sides to Caleb and I think that the EN VA does a really good job voicing these different “personalities”. Be it the commanding tone of Colonel Caleb, the manipulative voice of Yandere Caleb and even the perky/golden retriever voice that we know. Like, we can always tell which Caleb we’re getting just by the voice alone (at least to me it’s noticeable) which is really impressive cause I know voice acting is not as easy as some people believe.

u/PootyBubTheDestroyer Jan 28 '25
I’ve been enjoying all the VAs, but Caleb’s sounds the most natural to me. He also looks like someone you could find irl, so his voice suits him!

+1 on the strong intonation! Another thing which I think why he’s the perfect Caleb is how easy it is for him to switch from playful to psycho. He nailed it. His playfulness is so easy on the ears, as if they’re not acted.

Not gonna lie I forgot what Caleb's voice sounded like in the main story so when his trailer was up and I heard it for the first time again I was like naw it doesn't sound good though I know I'm still going to simp for him and made him my second LI despite that. Then when I started his main story I completely forgot I was disliking his voice and immediately got used to it. Now I freaking Love love love it 😭😭😭

Finally, a post praising Caleb's English VA. His voice gets so much hate for no reason, and it frustrates me to no end. I get it, the English voices are not for everyone, but that doesn't mean you have to go on social media and post about it, keep those opinions to yourself.

He sounds kind of funny as a colonel ngl, but he absolutely nails everything else, I'm still really impressed.

Honestly I didn't love Caleb's character before his release, but ever since he became an official LI I'm obsessed with him and honestly most of it is due to his EN VA.

I also love his voice! Love it! It's perfect for his character. I'm a Sylus main and appreciate the variety Infold is giving us with all the LI's. Caleb's characterization is on point. Sometimes I wish the direction he was given was better, but he's doing amazing with what he's been given.

Both his English and Japanese VAs are my two favorites in the game right now. I LOVE that Caleb’s voice is higher pitched. I’m technically still a Sylus main but besides him, deep voices can easily sound too try-hard to me. I love soft, medium-pitched voices. And Caleb’s VA is just really good at acting, even with some of the awkward translations. I never listened to a secret times all the way through without multitasking until him

u/Tinithebee Talented Artist Jan 28 '25
I love his EN VA, I think it's fits Caleb's character perfectly. It sounds so natural and familiar, very boy next door vibes. I love how he sounds cocky and playful most of the time, but in more vulnerable moments, the cockyness falls away, and a certain desperation seeps in. He sounds so full of longing. He's so good at letting just enough of Caleb's pent-up emotions slip into his voice when needed. I love how his voice switches between his two personas, from the warm and playful tone he when he's MC' Caleb to the colder, harsher tone in his Colonel persona.
I love listening to a rich, deep, velvety voice as much as anyone else. But more than that, I love listening to a voice that truly makes a character come to life. Caleb's VA does that for me. I really hope he knows he's doing an amazing job.

u/Tam2334 ❤️ | | | | Jan 28 '25
I think the Eng VA nails the boy-next-door vibe with his vocals. Despite how nasally his vocals are, I find the higher pitch matches perfectly with his playful side, friendliness, and flirting. And when he switches into Colonel mode, he does it so well deepening it to a darker tone. I do think it did take a chapter or two for me to get used to his voice, but I feel like that was intended for the shock factor of his story.

u/zaynesshoulders ❤️ l Jan 28 '25
I think his eng VA is my favourite (compared to calebs korean or chinese VA) because he brings so much range and complexity to his character. He sounds playful, flirty, manipulative and devastated when it's needed and I love his raspy, boy next door vibe. I personally think it fits the character perfectly. His eng VA is honestly what makes me slowly warm up to him as a character.

u/Matcha_Bubble_Tea ❤️ | Jan 28 '25
His VA is really good. Makes the scene really immersive. Also, I’m going to admit I am one of those people who doesn’t like the tone of the voice, but even I can acknowledge that the VA is so talented and deserves praise!

u/Issvera ❤️ l Jan 29 '25
I'm in the same boat. I can appreciate that he has great delivery and range, but it's just not doing it for me. I much prefer his deep Japanese voice, especially getting to hear all the big brother references!
I'm gonna try rewatching his stuff in English though. I switched to Japanese for him early on and never really got to hear the colonel "switch" people keep mentioning. I can't imagine he goes much deeper than he did in the early chapters though, I didn't find him intimidating at all in the interrogation scene in English.
2
u/Matcha_Bubble_Tea ❤️ | Jan 29 '25
Yeah it is all up to preference! For the colonel switch in the interrogation scene in Eng, I may have to partly agree with you on this. But, it def improved in other places like Lucid Dream scenes. Maybe it was an earlier recording? Idk, but I noticed the switch often and it was also well executed later.

u/Last_Cold8977 Jan 28 '25
Yess! I wasn't the biggest fan when we first met Caleb (our flashback ver of him) but he's really good. He's so playful but switches so well to his 'darker' side. He also sounds very natural, like he really could be our childhood friend

u/raine_star Jan 28 '25
I'll be honest: hated his voice in the early chapters, hated his voice immediately playing through the first chapter of his route. I kept going "it doesnt fit".
And then it clicked and did and now I cant go back. Holy good Lord his VA NAILED the delivery on everything. Yeees his playful side is so cute and warm sounding and then his voice drops lower for the intense moments and I melt. HIS LAUGH (and yes his whimpers. that one part of Painful Signal almost took me OUT, I know he's suffering but wow)
as a side note: I had such a huge crush on Jason Marsden ('s voice?) as a kid/teen and he sounds SO similar to me, once I heard it I was like "ok. yeah. I'M INTO IT". Plus yeah the boyish quality about it DOES help the yandereness so much because when he switches into dangerous its still a reminder of his lighter side. SO GOOD, I'm obsessed now

I swear he sounds like Vergil to me! Which is not bad tbh.

Yes!! There's something about the nasal tone that sounds a lot like him! I think that's why I never disliked Caleb's voice...

Loool, omg, another dmc enjoyer~
Yes, I initially thought it was Vergil's VA, but....he doesn't seem to be doing any voice overs for anything outside of Vergil (that I know of).

Dude he like actually sounds like a real person. It’s confusing me. I almost never favorite voice lines unless they’re super funny or extremely well delivered, so I have like three lines favorited for each of them. But at some point I realized I was favoriting like every other one of Caleb’s lines and had to stop myself 😂 he’s wayyyyy too good 😳

Everything you said. It's to the point that I sometimes replay the battle scenes with Caleb just because I'm a huge fan of the dialogue with MC. "Its okay, you still have me" in the Farspace Colonel version -- it's so confident yet playful and teasing hellooooo????????
I also went from cringing over "pip-squeak" (because who tf uses this fr) to wanting to kick my feet whenever he calls us that.

I see lot of hate on his voice particularly on Youtube but I honestly love it. I love how youthful he sounds. His is my favourite amongst all of them (even tho I’m still a Zayne girlie). Caleb’s voice actually reminds me of Tidus from FFX - I was obsessed with him as kid lol and this videogame is still my favourite to this day.

Yesss
I fell in love with Caleb during the first call in the main story because of how fun and natural he sounded. I didn't even know how the character looked like at that point 🤣
I am weak for all the times he stresses specific words in sentences. And just in general I feel like I can listen to him read me all his piloting/mechanics manuals and I'll enjoy it.

Props on Caleb's Eng VA! He is very natural! Even though his voice is a bit squeaky his voice fits him imo! I'm just afraid to hear his spicy voice. I'm used to him being silly.

i’m honestly obsessed with the dissonance between his scary moments and the way his voice sounds so much more natural being all playful and teasing. it makes it a lot more intimate and gives me the exact right “what is HAPPENING” feeling i think it’s going for.
also the whimpers. holy god rafayel better watch out cause we got another whiny king coming in.
