Oh my views are basically the same as yours and the rest of the people that have been discussing in this thread thus far. As I posted to Zyrus, a VA SHOULD have at least some extent of inflection. However, more importantly is it BELIEVABLE when they talk?

Do you mean as in a real foreign language, or like ANY language you don't understand like Elvish?

Hmm, definitely an interesting voice! The 'urgency' in his voice is there, but it is surprising that he sounds so 'clean' if that makes sense. Which isn't a bad thing, but it all sounds very pronounced. Thanks K!

Haha, that was amazing! Never played Persona 4 but was still funny to watch xD
And agreed, emotion, tone, and pitch is what makes or breaks the acting. Which that all ties into the 'truth' of VA. Like I said to K'nahli, the inflection/realism is what I seek from the VA. I think at the core that is what EVERYONE is listening for when there is spoken dialogue.
So bottom line, the very first lesson VAs are taught is 'truth'. Then their 'signature' follows along shortly after or during the same time.
