** What about the "mini-boss" that speaks in a [[Fantastic Racism|fantastically racist]] Mexican accent... even though he doesn't even '''''remotely look like he's supposed to be Mexican!!'''''
*** For the last two "mini-bosses" before the final boss, one of them sounds like they took a horrifically wrong turn into [[Camp Gay]], while the other sounds ''more'' [[Dull Surprise|robotically deadpan]] than even the ''main character himself''.

* The English cast of ''[[Gotcha Force]]'' soundswas, likeaccording theyto werethe now defunct official Japanese website, voiced by peopleactual whochildren hadn'tand evershows seenwhy themost Englishgames languagehave onadult paper,women letpretend aloneto inbe achildren scriptinstead. Intonations are all over the place, some words are pronounced wrong wholesale, and several of the characters (Orochi gets special mention) sound like their lines are being read with all of the emotion and presence of a surgery outpatient full of high-grade anaesthetic. Not to mention that the [[Big Bad|Galactic Emperor]]'s voice sounds like it was recorded in one take, pushed through some cheap filtering effects, and considered good enough for the final game. The repeated [[Evil Laugh|"wah ha ha ha ha!"s]] ([[They Just Didn't Care|read word for word off the script]]) are among the [[Un Evil Laugh|least intimidating evil laughs]] to be found in any form of media.

* ''[[Star Ocean: The Last Hope]]'', whose voice acting was so horribly directed that the [[Updated Rerelease]] actually made sure to include the option to choose the original Japanese voices.
* ''[[Trouble Witches|Trouble Witches NEO!]]'' got a pretty horrible dub. The cast either probably isn't fluent in English (Lyla,<ref>Easily the worst of the bunch with her [[The Room|Tommy Wiseau-esque performance]]</ref> Aru,<ref>who is given a female voice, yet still referred to as male</ref> Sakurako<ref>However, she has the best English out of the three (which isn't saying much) and her lines aren't quite as awkwardly delivered as the former two. Her performance could probably be written off as In-Universe [[Gratuitous English]] by a [[Willing Suspension of Disbelief|generous enough player.]]</ref>) sound incredibly slow (Pril, Venus/Twinkle), or have [[Dull Surprise|all the emotion of a toaster, maybe less]] (Blizzard, Symphony, Spool). There are some decent ones, like Amalgam/[[Spell My Name with an "S"|Almagam]] and Lady Aqua (sometimes), and some of the actresses seem to have their hearts in it,<ref>Conan and [[Large Ham|Lilly]]</ref> but it still ends up being [[So Bad It's Good]] at best.
